For 1 ≤ q < ∞, let ${}_q\left(\right)$ denote the Banach algebra consisting of the bounded complex-valued functions on the unit circle having uniformly bounded q-variation on the dyadic arcs. We describe a broad class ℐ of UMD spaces such that whenever X ∈ ℐ, the sequence space ℓ²(ℤ,X) admits the classes ${}_q\left(\right)$ as Fourier multipliers, for an appropriate range of values of q > 1 (the range of q depending on X). This multiplier result expands the vector-valued Marcinkiewicz Multiplier Theorem in the direction q >...

The main observation of this note is that the Lebesgue measure μ in the Turán-Nazarov inequality for exponential polynomials can be replaced with a certain geometric invariant ω ≥ μ, which can be effectively estimated in terms of the metric entropy of a set, and may be nonzero for discrete and even finite sets. While the frequencies (the imaginary parts of the exponents) do not enter the original Turán-Nazarov inequality, they necessarily enter the definition of ω.

We prove the continuity of an oscillatory singular integral operator T with polynomial phase P(x,y) on an atomic space $H_P^1$ related to the phase P. Moreover, we show that the cancellation condition to be imposed on T holds under more general conditions. To that purpose, we obtain a van der Corput type lemma with integrability at infinity.

We prove a class of uncertainty principles of the form $\parallel S_{g}f{\parallel }_1\le C(\parallel x^{a}f{\parallel }_p+\parallel {\omega }^{b}f̂{\parallel }_q)$, where $S_{g}f$ is the short time Fourier transform of f. We obtain a characterization of the range of parameters a,b,p,q for which such an uncertainty principle holds. Counter-examples are constructed using Gabor expansions and unimodular polynomials. These uncertainty principles relate the decay of f and f̂ to their behaviour in phase space. Two applications are given: (a) If such an inequality holds, then the Poisson summation formula is valid...

We prove an x-ray estimate in general dimension which is a stronger version of Wolff's Kakeya estimate [12]. This generalizes the estimate in [13], which dealt with the n = 3 case.

Orthonormal polynomials on the real line {pn (λ)} n=0 ... ∞ satisfy the recurrent relation of the form: λn−1 pn−1 (λ) + αn pn (λ) + λn pn+1 (λ) = λpn (λ), n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , where λn > 0, αn ∈ R, n = 0, 1, . . . ; λ−1 = p−1 = 0, λ ∈ C. In this paper we study systems of polynomials {pn (λ)} n=0 ... ∞ which satisfy the equation: αn−2 pn−2 (λ) + βn−1 pn−1 (λ) + γn pn (λ) + βn pn+1 (λ) + αn pn+2 (λ) = λ2 pn (λ), n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , where αn > 0, βn ∈ C, γn ∈ R, n = 0, 1, 2, . . ., α−1 = α−2...

En dimension 1 on analyse la fonction irrégulière $r\left(x\right)={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{n}^{-p}sin\left(n^{p}x\right)$ (p entier ≥ 2) en un point $x_0$ de dérivabilité (π est un tel point) et on démontre que le terme d’erreur est un chirp de classe (1 + 1/(2p-2), 1/(p-1), (p-1)/p). La fonction r(x) est dans l’espace 2-microlocal $C_{x_0}^{s,s^{\text{'}}}$ si et seulement si s+s’ ≤ 1 - 1/p et ps+s’≤ p - 1/2. En dimension 2, on obtient en (π,π) l’existence d’un plan tangent pour la surface $z={\sum }_{m,n=1}^{\infty }{(m^2+n^2)}^{-\gamma }sin(m^{2}x+n^{2}y)$ dès que γ>1.

The notion of non-orthogonal multi-resolution analysis and its compatibility with differentiation (as expressed by the commutation formula) lead us to the construction of a multi-resolution analysis of L2(Rn)n which is well adapted to the approximation of divergence-free vector functions. Thus, we obtain unconditional bases of compactly supported divergence-free vector wavelets.

We study the problem of $L^p$-boundedness ($1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$) of operators of the form $m(L_1,\cdots ,L_n)$ for a commuting system of self-adjoint left-invariant differential operators $L_1,\cdots ,L_n$ on a Lie group $G$ of polynomial growth, which generate an algebra containing a weighted subcoercive operator. In particular, when $G$ is a homogeneous group and $L_1,\cdots ,L_n$ are homogeneous, we prove analogues of the Mihlin-Hörmander and Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorems.

Nilsequences arose in the study of the multiple ergodic averages associated to Furstenberg’s proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem and have since played a role in problems in additive combinatorics. Nilsequences are a generalization of almost periodic sequences and we study which portions of the classical theory for almost periodic sequences can be generalized for two step nilsequences. We state and prove basic properties for two step nilsequences and give a classification scheme for them.
