If ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ is a strictly increasing sequence of integers, a continuous probability measure σ on the unit circle is said to be IP-Dirichlet with respect to ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ if $\sigma ̂\left({\sum }_{k\in F}{n}_k\right)\to 1$ as F runs over all non-empty finite subsets F of ℕ and the minimum of F tends to infinity. IP-Dirichlet measures and their connections with IP-rigid dynamical systems have recently been investigated by Aaronson, Hosseini and Lemańczyk. We simplify and generalize some of their results, using an approach involving generalized Riesz products.

Let $L:=-\Delta +V$ be a Schrödinger operator on ${ℝ}^n$ with $n\ge 3$ and $V\ge 0$ satisfying ${\Delta }^{-1}V\in L^{\infty }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$. Assume that $\varphi :{ℝ}^n\times [0,\infty )\to [0,\infty )$ is a function such that $\varphi (x,·)$ is an Orlicz function, $\varphi (·,t)\in {𝔸}_{\infty }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights). Let $w$ be an $L$-harmonic function on ${ℝ}^n$ with $0<C_1\le w\le C_2$, where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are positive constants. In this article, the author proves that the mapping $H_{\varphi ,L}\left({ℝ}^n\right)\ni f\mapsto wf\in H_{\varphi }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ is an isomorphism from the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space associated with $L$, $H_{\varphi ,L}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, to the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space $H_{\varphi }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ under some assumptions on $\varphi$. As applications, the author further obtains the...

The Littlewood-Paley theory is extended to weighted spaces of distributions on [-1,1] with Jacobi weights $w\left(t\right)={(1-t)}^{\alpha }{(1+t)}^{\beta }$. Almost exponentially localized polynomial elements (needlets) ${\phi }_{\xi }$, ${\psi }_{\xi }$ are constructed and, in complete analogy with the classical case on ℝⁿ, it is shown that weighted Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces can be characterized by the size of the needlet coefficients $⟨f,{\phi }_{\xi }⟩$ in respective sequence spaces.

Symmetric Jacobi matrices on one sided homogeneous trees are studied. Essential selfadjointness of these matrices turns out to depend on the structure of the tree. If a tree has one end and infinitely many origin points the matrix is always essentially selfadjoint independently of the growth of its coefficients. In case a tree has one origin and infinitely many ends, the essential selfadjointness is equivalent to that of an ordinary Jacobi matrix obtained by restriction to the so called radial functions....

We study, in the context of doubling metric measure spaces, a class of BMO type functions defined by John and Nirenberg. In particular, we present a new version of the Calderón-Zygmund decomposition in metric spaces and use it to prove the corresponding John-Nirenberg inequality.

We study a class of square functions in a general framework with applications to a variety of situations: samples along subsequences, averages of $\mathbb{Z}{₊}^d$ actions and of positive L¹ contractions. We also study the relationship between a counting function first introduced by Jamison, Orey and Pruitt, in a variety of situations, and the corresponding ergodic averages. We show that the maximal counting function is not dominated by the square functions.

Józef Marcinkiewicz’s (1910-1940) name is not known by many people, except maybe a small group of mathematicians, although his influence on the analysis and probability theory of the twentieth century was enormous. This survey of his life and work is in honour of the ${100}^{th}$ anniversary of his birth and ${70}^{th}$ anniversary of his death. The discussion is divided into two periods of Marcinkiewicz’s life. First, 1910-1933, that is, from his birth to his graduation from the University of Stefan Batory in Vilnius,...
