It is proved that if ${\phi }_n$ is a complete orthonormal system of bounded functions and ɛ>0, then there exists a measurable set E ⊂ [0,1] with measure |E|>1-ɛ, a measurable function μ(x), 0 < μ(x) ≤ 1, μ(x) ≡ 1 on E, and a series of the form ${\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)$, where $c_k\in l_q$ for all q>2, with the following properties: 1. For any p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]=f:{ʃ}_0^1{\left|f\left(x\right)\right|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx<\infty$ there are numbers ${\varepsilon }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\varepsilon }_k$ = 1 or 0, such that $li{m}_{n\to \infty }{ʃ}_0^1{|{\sum }_{k=1}^n{\varepsilon }_k{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)-f\left(x\right)|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx=0.$ 2. For every p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]$ there are a function $g\in L^1[0,1]$ with g(x) = f(x) on E and numbers ${\delta }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\delta }_k=1$ or 0,...

Let $f\left(x\right)$ be a power series ${\sum }_{n\ge 1}\zeta \left(n\right)x^{e\left(n\right)}$, where $\left(e\right(n\left)\right)$ is a strictly increasing linear recurrence sequence of non-negative integers, and $\left(\zeta \right(n\left)\right)$ a sequence of roots of unity in ${\overline{\mathbb{Q}}}_p$ satisfying an appropriate technical condition. Then we are mainly interested in characterizing the algebraic independence over ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ of the elements $f\left({\alpha }_1\right),...,$ $f\left({\alpha }_t\right)$ from ${ℂ}_p$ in terms of the distinct ${\alpha }_1,...,{\alpha }_t\in {\mathbb{Q}}_p$ satisfying $0\&lt;|{\alpha }_{\tau }{|}_p\&lt;1$ for $\tau =1,...,t$. A striking application of our basic result says that, in the case $e\left(n\right)=n$, the set $\left\{f\left(\alpha \right)\right|\alpha \in {\mathbb{Q}}_p,0\&lt;|\alpha {|}_p\&lt;1\}$ is algebraically independent over ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ if...

Let $P(\lambda ,D)={\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le m}{a}_{\alpha }\left(\lambda \right)D^{\alpha }$ be a differential operator with constant coefficients $a_{\alpha }$ depending analytically on a parameter $\lambda$. Assume that the family $\{$ P($\lambda$,D)$\}$ is of constant strength. We investigate the equation $P(\lambda ,D){𝔣}_{\lambda }\equiv g_{\lambda }$ where ${𝔤}_{\lambda }$ is a given analytic function of $\lambda$ with values in some space of distributions and the solution ${𝔣}_{\lambda }$ is required to depend analytically on $\lambda$, too. As a special case we obtain a regular fundamental solution of P($\lambda$,D) which depends analytically on $\lambda$. This result answers a question of L. Hörmander. ...

Let $M$ be a free module over a noetherian ring. For ${\omega }_1,...,{\omega }_k\in M$, let $𝒜$ be the ideal generated by coefficients of ${\omega }_1\wedge ...\wedge {\omega }_k$. For an element $\omega \in {\bigwedge }^{p}M$ with $p\&lt;\mathrm{prof}.𝒜$, if $\omega \wedge {\omega }_1\wedge ...\wedge {\omega }_k=0$, there exists ${\eta }_1,...,{\eta }_k\in {\bigwedge }^{p-1}M$ such that $\omega ={\sum }_{i=1}^k{\eta }_i\wedge {\omega }_i$. This is a generalization of a lemma on the division of forms due to de Rham (Comment. Math. Helv., 28 (1954)) and has some applications to the study of singularities.

Let $T:x\mapsto x+g$ be an ergodic translation on the compact group $C$ and $M\subseteq C$ a continuity set, i.e. a subset with topological boundary of Haar measure 0. An infinite binary sequence $\mathbf{a}:\mathbb{Z}\mapsto \{0,1\}$ defined by $\mathbf{a}\left(k\right)=1$ if $T^k\left(0_C\right)\in M$ and $\mathbf{a}\left(k\right)=0$ otherwise, is called a Hartman sequence. This paper studies the growth rate of $P_{\mathbf{a}}\left(n\right)$, where $P_{\mathbf{a}}\left(n\right)$ denotes the number of binary words of length $n\in \mathbb{N}$ occurring in $\mathbf{a}$. The growth rate is always subexponential and this result is optimal. If $T$ is an ergodic translation $x\mapsto x+\alpha$ $(\alpha =({\alpha }_1,...,{\alpha }_s))$ on ${𝕋}^s$ and $M$ is a box with...

We investigate in a geometrical way the point sets of  $ℝ$  obtained by the  $\beta$-numeration that are the  $\beta$-integers  ${\mathbb{Z}}_{\beta }\subset \mathbb{Z}\left[\beta \right]$  where  $\beta$  is a Perron number. We show that there exist two canonical cut-and-project schemes associated with the  $\beta$-numeration, allowing to lift up the  $\beta$-integers to some points of the lattice  ${\mathbb{Z}}^m$  ($m=$  degree of  $\beta$) lying about the dominant eigenspace of the companion matrix of  $\beta$ . When  $\beta$  is in particular a Pisot number, this framework gives another proof of the fact...
