Let A be a uniform algebra on X and σ a probability measure on X. We define the Hardy spaces $H^p\left(\sigma \right)$ and the $H^p\left(\sigma \right)$ interpolating sequences S in the p-spectrum ${ℳ}_p$ of σ. We prove, under some structural hypotheses on A and σ, that if S is a “dual bounded” Carleson sequence, then S is $H^s\left(\sigma \right)$-interpolating with a linear extension operator for s < p, provided that either p = ∞ or p ≤ 2. In the case of the unit ball of ℂⁿ we find, for instance, that if S is dual bounded in $H^{\infty }\left(\right)$ then S is $H^p\left(\right)$-interpolating with...

We establish an explicit connection between the perimeter measure of an open set $E$ with $C^1$ boundary and the spherical Hausdorff measure $S^{Q-1}$ restricted to $\partial E$, when the ambient space is a stratified group endowed with a left invariant sub-Riemannian metric and $Q$ denotes the Hausdorff dimension of the group. Our formula implies that the perimeter measure of $E$ is less than or equal to $S^{Q-1}\left(\partial E\right)$ up to a dimensional factor. The validity of this estimate positively answers a conjecture raised by Danielli,...

We present a new theorem on the differential inequality $u^{\left(m\right)}\le w\left(u\right)$. Next, we apply this result to obtain existence theorems for the equation $x^{\left(m\right)}=f(t,x)$.

Motivated by the fundamental theorem of calculus, and based on the works of W. Feller as well as M. Kac and M. G. Kreĭn, given an atomless Borel probability measure $\eta$ supported on a compact subset of $ℝ$ U. Freiberg and M. Zähle introduced a measure-geometric approach to define a first order differential operator ${\nabla }_{\eta }$ and a second order differential operator ${\Delta }_{\eta }$, with respect to $\eta$. We generalize this approach to measures of the form $\eta :=\nu +\delta$, where $\nu$ is non-atomic and $\delta$ is finitely supported. We determine...

Let μ be a finite positive Borel measure on [0,1). Let ${\mathscr{H}}_{\mu }={\left({\mu }_{n,k}\right)}_{n,k\ge 0}$ be the Hankel matrix with entries ${\mu }_{n,k}={\int }_{[0,1)}{t}^{n+k}d\mu \left(t\right)$. The matrix ${}_{\mu }$ induces formally an operator on the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc by the fomula ${\mathscr{H}}_{\mu }\left(f\right)\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }i\left({\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }{\mu }_{n,k}{a}_k\right)zⁿ$, z ∈ , where $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }aₙzⁿ$ is an analytic function in . We characterize those positive Borel measures on [0,1) such that ${\mathscr{H}}_{\mu }\left(f\right)\left(z\right)={\int }_{[0,1)}f\left(t\right)/(1-tz)d\mu \left(t\right)$ for all f in the Hardy space H¹, and among them we describe those for which ${\mathscr{H}}_{\mu }$ is bounded and compact on H¹. We also study the analogous problem for the Bergman space A². ...

Let $(X,d,\mu )$ be a metric measure space satisfying the doubling condition and an $L^2$-Poincaré inequality. Consider the nonnegative operator $ℒ$ generalized by a Dirichlet form on $X$. We will show that a solution $u$ to $(-{\partial }_t^2+ℒ)u=0$ on $X\times {ℝ}_{+}$ satisfies an $\alpha$-Carleson condition if and only if $u$ can be represented as the Poisson integral of the operator $ℒ$ with the trace in the generalized Morrey space $L^{2,\alpha }\left(X\right)$, where $\alpha$ is a nonnegative function defined on a class of balls in $X$. This result extends the analogous characterization...

In many recent articles, medians have been used as a replacement of integral averages when the function fails to be locally integrable. A point $x$ in a metric measure space $(X,d,\mu )$ is called a generalized Lebesgue point of a measurable function $f$ if the medians of $f$ over the balls $B(x,r)$ converge to $f\left(x\right)$ when $r$ converges to $0$. We know that almost every point of a measurable, almost everywhere finite function is a generalized Lebesgue point and the same is true for every point of a continuous function....

We consider Akatsuka’s zeta Mahler measure as a generating function of the higher Mahler measure $m_k\left(P\right)$ of a polynomial $P,$ where $m_k\left(P\right)$ is the integral of $lo{g}^k\left|P\right|$ over the complex unit circle. Restricting ourselves to P(x) = x - r with |r| = 1 we show some new asymptotic results regarding $m_k\left(P\right)$, in particular $|m_k\left(P\right)|/k!\to 1/\pi$ as k → ∞.

Let ${\alpha }_i,{\beta }_i>0$, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and for t > 0 and x = (x₁,...,xₙ) ∈ ℝⁿ, let $t•x=(t^{\alpha ₁}x₁,...,t^{\alpha ₙ}xₙ)$, $t\circ x=(t^{\beta ₁}x₁,...,t^{\beta ₙ}xₙ)$ and $\left|\right|x\left|\right|={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\left|x_i\right|}^{1/{\alpha }_i}$. Let φ₁,...,φₙ be real functions in $C^{\infty }(ℝⁿ-0)$ such that φ = (φ₁,..., φₙ) satisfies φ(t • x) = t ∘ φ(x). Let γ > 0 and let μ be the Borel measure on ${ℝ}^{2n}$ given by $\mu \left(E\right)={\int }_{ℝⁿ}{\chi }_E{(x,\phi \left(x\right))\left|\right|x\left|\right|}^{\gamma -\alpha }dx$, where $\alpha ={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\alpha }_i$ and dx denotes the Lebesgue measure on ℝⁿ. Let $T_{\mu }f=\mu \ast f$ and let $\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}$ be the operator norm of $T_{\mu }$ from $L^p\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$ into $L^q\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$, where the $L^p$ spaces are taken with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The type set $E_{\mu }$ is defined by $E_{\mu }=(1/p,1/q):\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}<\infty ,1\le p,q\le \infty$. In the case ${\alpha }_i\ne {\beta }_k$ for 1 ≤ i,k ≤ n we characterize the...

Let $(X,d,\mu )$ be a metric measure space endowed with a distance $d$ and a nonnegative Borel doubling measure $\mu$. Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator of order $m$ on $L^2\left(X\right)$. Assume that the semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tL}$ generated by $L$ satisfies the Davies-Gaffney estimate of order $m$ and $L$ satisfies the Plancherel type estimate. Let $H_L^p\left(X\right)$ be the Hardy space associated with $L.$ We show the boundedness of Stein’s square function ${𝒢}_{\delta }\left(L\right)$ arising from Bochner-Riesz means associated to $L$ from Hardy spaces $H_L^p\left(X\right)$ to $L^p\left(X\right)$, and also study...

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is invariant and ergodic for $T_a\left(x\right)=ax\mathrm{𝚖𝚘𝚍}1$, and $0<\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\mu <1$. Let $f$ be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if $E\subseteq ℝ$ and $\left(f\mu \right){\left|{}_E\sim \mu \right|}_E$, then $f^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\in \left\{\pm a^r:r\in \mathbb{Q}\right\}$ at $\mu$-a.e. point $x\in f^{-1}E$. In particular, if $g$ is a piecewise-analytic map preserving $\mu$ then there is an open $g$-invariant set $U$ containing supp $\mu$ such that $g\left|{}_U\right.$ is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of $a$. In a similar vein, for $\mu$ as above, if $b$ is another integer and $a,b$ are not powers of a common integer, and if $\nu$ is...

An example of a non-zero non-atomic translation-invariant Borel measure ${\nu }_p$ on the Banach space ${\ell }_p\left(1\le p\le \infty \right)$ is constructed in Solovay’s model. It is established that, for 1 ≤ p < ∞, the condition "${\nu }_p$-almost every element of ${\ell }_p$ has a property P" implies that “almost every” element of ${\ell }_p$ (in the sense of [4]) has the property P. It is also shown that the converse is not valid.

Given 0 < p,q < ∞ and any sequence z = zₙ in the unit disc , we define an operator from functions on to sequences by $T_{z,p}\left(f\right)={(1-|zₙ\left|²\right)}^{1/p}f\left(zₙ\right)$. Necessary and sufficient conditions on zₙ are given such that $T_{z,p}$ maps the Hardy space $H^p$ boundedly into the sequence space ${\ell }^q$. A corresponding result for Bergman spaces is also stated.

Let ν be a positive measure on a σ-algebra Σ of subsets of some set and let X be a Banach space. Denote by ca(Σ,X) the Banach space of X-valued measures on Σ, equipped with the uniform norm, and by ca(Σ,ν,X) its closed subspace consisting of those measures which vanish at every ν-null set. We are concerned with the subsets ${}_{\nu }\left(X\right)$ and ${}_{\nu }\left(X\right)$ of ca(Σ,X) defined by the conditions |φ| = ν and |φ| ≥ ν, respectively, where |φ| stands for the variation of φ ∈ ca(Σ,X). We establish necessary and sufficient...

Let β ∈ (1,2) and x ∈ [0,1/(β-1)]. We call a sequence ${\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^{\infty }\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ a β-expansion for x if $x={\sum }_{i=1}^{\infty }{ϵ}_i{\beta }^{-i}$. We call a finite sequence ${\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^n\in {0,1}^n$ an n-prefix for x if it can be extended to form a β-expansion of x. In this paper we study how good an approximation is provided by the set of n-prefixes. Given $\Psi :\mathbb{N}\to {ℝ}_{\ge 0}$, we introduce the following subset of ℝ: $W_{\beta }\left(\Psi \right):={\bigcap }_{m=1}^{\infty }{\bigcup }_{n=m}^{\infty }{\bigcup }_{{\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^n\in {0,1}^n}[{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right),{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right)+\Psi \left(n\right)]$In other words, $W_{\beta }\left(\Psi \right)$ is the set of x ∈ ℝ for which there exist infinitely many solutions to the inequalities $0\le x-{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right)\le \Psi \left(n\right)$. When ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{2}^n\Psi \left(n\right)<\infty$, the Borel-Cantelli lemma tells us that the Lebesgue measure...

We consider $C^2$ families $t\mapsto f_t$ of $C^4$ unimodal maps $f_t$ whose critical point is slowly recurrent, and we show that the unique absolutely continuous invariant measure ${\mu }_t$ of $f_t$ depends differentiably on $t$, as a distribution of order $1$. The proof uses transfer operators on towers whose level boundaries are mollified via smooth cutoff functions, in order to avoid artificial discontinuities. We give a new representation of ${\mu }_t$ for a Benedicks-Carleson map $f_t$, in terms of a single smooth function and the...

Let $\beta >1$ be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form ${\sum }_{i=1}^{\infty }{d}_i/{\beta }^i$, where the digits ${\left(d_i\right)}_{i\ge 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_{\beta }$ defined on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}\times [0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor \left(\beta -1\right)]$. We show existence and uniqueness of a $K_{\beta }$-invariant probability measure, absolutely continuous with respect to $m_p\otimes \lambda$, where $m_p$ is the Bernoulli measure on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with parameter $p$ ($0<p<1$) and $\lambda$ is the normalized Lebesgue measure on $[0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor (\beta -1\left)\right]$. Furthermore, this measure is of the form $m_p\otimes {\mu }_{\beta ,p}$, where ${\mu }_{\beta ,p}$ is equivalent to $\lambda$. We prove that the measure of maximal entropy and $m_p\otimes \lambda$ are mutually...
