Concrete representation of martingales.
Global regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation on thin three-dimensional domains with periodic boundary conditions.
Conditions implying regularity of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation
We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.
Littlewood-Paley theory on solenoids
Hahn's Embedding Theorem for orders and harmonic analysis on groups with ordered duals
Let G be a locally compact abelian group whose dual group Γ contains a Haar measurable order P. Using the order P we define the conjugate function operator on , 1 ≤ p < ∞, as was done by Helson [7]. We will show how to use Hahn’s Embedding Theorem for orders and the ergodic Hilbert transform to study the conjugate function. Our approach enables us to define a filtration of the Borel σ-algebra on G, which in turn will allow us to introduce tools from martingale theory into the analysis on groups...
On a weak type (1,1) inequality for a maximal conjugate function
In their celebrated paper [3], Burkholder, Gundy, and Silverstein used Brownian motion to derive a maximal function characterization of spaces for 0 < p < ∞. In the present paper, we show that the methods in [3] extend to higher dimensions and yield a dimension-free weak type (1,1) estimate for a conjugate function on the N-dimensional torus.
Decomposition of analytic measures on groups and measure spaces
We consider an arbitrary locally compact abelian group G, with an ordered dual group Γ, acting on a space of measures. Under suitable conditions, we define the notion of analytic measures using the representation of G and the order on Γ. Our goal is to study analytic measures by applying a new transference principle for subspaces of measures, along with results from probability and Littlewood-Paley theory. As a consequence, we derive new properties of analytic measures as well as extensions of previous...
A counterexample to the smoothness of the solution to an equation arising in fluid mechanics
We analyze the equation coming from the Eulerian-Lagrangian description of fluids. We discuss a couple of ways to extend this notion to viscous fluids. The main focus of this paper is to discuss the first way, due to Constantin. We show that this description can only work for short times, after which the ``back to coordinates map'' may have no smooth inverse. Then we briefly discuss a second way that uses Brownian motion. We use this to provide a plausibility argument for the global regularity for...
A sharp estimate for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function
The best constant in the usual norm inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on is obtained for the class of all “peak-shaped” functions. A function on the line is called peak-shaped if it is positive and convex except at one point. The techniques we use include variational methods.
