Let $(X,0)$ be a reduced, equidimensional germ of an analytic singularity with reduced tangent cone $(C_{X,0},0)$. We prove that the absence of exceptional cones is a necessary and sufficient condition for the smooth part ${𝔛}^0$ of the specialization to the tangent cone $\varphi :𝔛\to ℂ$ to satisfy Whitney’s conditions along the parameter axis $Y$. This result is a first step in generalizing to higher dimensions Lê and Teissier’s result for hypersurfaces of ${ℂ}^3$ which establishes the Whitney equisingularity of $X$ and its tangent...

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...

The aim of this paper is to introduce some new fixed point results of Hardy-Rogers-type for $\alpha$-$\eta$-$GF$-contraction in a complete metric space. We extend the concept of $F$-contraction into an $\alpha$-$\eta$-$GF$-contraction of Hardy-Rogers-type. An example has been constructed to demonstrate the novelty of our results.

AbstractThe paper contains studies of relationships between properties of the “translation” mappings $T_F$ and the topological and geometric structure of spaces X and Hardy classes $h^p(,X)$ of X-valued harmonic functions on the open unit disk in ℂ (X is a Banach space). The mapping $T_F$ transforming the unit circle of ℂ into $h^p(,X)$ is associated with a function $F\in h^p(,X)$ by the formula $T_F\left(t\right)=F\circ \varphi ₜ$, where ϕₜ is the rotation of through t.AcknowledgmentsThis work is based in part on the author’s doctoral thesis written at...

The main aim of this paper is to prove that the maximal operator ${\sigma }^{}$ is bounded from the Hardy space $H_{1/2}$ to weak-$L_{1/2}$ and is not bounded from $H_{1/2}$ to $L_{1/2}$.

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...

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 $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from $L^p$ to $L^{p_{\alpha }}$ with $p_{\alpha }=np/(\alpha p-np+n)$ when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space $S_{\alpha ,Y}$, which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space $T_Y$, which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood...

We consider functions $u\in W_0^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a smooth bounded domain, and $m\ge 2$ is an integer. For all $j\ge 0,1\le k\le m-1$, such that $1\le j+k\le m$, we prove that $\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\in W_0^{k,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ with $∥{\partial }^k{\left(\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\right)}_{L^1\left(\Omega \right)}\le C∥u∥{}_{W^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)}$, where $d$ is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist$(x,\partial \Omega )$ near $\partial \Omega$, and ${\partial }^l$ denotes any partial differential operator of order $l$.

Let ${ℒ}_1=-\Delta +V$ be a Schrödinger operator and let ${ℒ}_2={(-\Delta )}^2+V^2$ be a Schrödinger type operator on ${ℝ}^n$ $(n\ge 5)$, where $V\ne 0$ is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class $B_s$ for $s\ge n/2$. The Hardy type space $H_{{ℒ}_2}^1$ is defined in terms of the maximal function with respect to the semigroup $\left\{{\mathrm{e}}^{-t{ℒ}_2}\right\}$ and it is identical to the Hardy space $H_{{ℒ}_1}^1$ established by Dziubański and Zienkiewicz. In this article, we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the commutator ${ℛ}_b=bℛf-ℛ\left(bf\right)$ generated by the Riesz transform $ℛ={\nabla }^2{ℒ}_2^{-1/2}$, where $b\in {\mathrm{BMO}}_{\theta }\left(\rho \right)$, which is larger...

It is proved that the multi-dimensional maximal Fejér operator defined in a cone is bounded from the amalgam Hardy space $W(h_p,{\ell }_{\infty })$ to $W(L_p,{\ell }_{\infty })$. This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the Fejér means in a cone for all $f\in W(L₁,{\ell }_{\infty })$, which is larger than $L₁\left({ℝ}^d\right)$.

An RD-space $𝒳$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss with the additional property that a reverse doubling property holds. The authors prove that for a space of homogeneous type $𝒳$ having “dimension” $n$, there exists a $p_0\in (n/(n+1),1)$ such that for certain classes of distributions, the $L^p\left(𝒳\right)$ quasi-norms of their radial maximal functions and grand maximal functions are equivalent when $p\in (p_0,\infty ]$. This result yields a radial maximal function characterization for Hardy spaces on $𝒳$. ...

Let α,β,γ,δ ≥ 0 and ϱ:= γβ + αγ + αδ > 0. Let ψ(t) = β + αt, ϕ(t) = γ + δ - γt, t ∈ [0,1]. We study the existence of positive solutions for the m-point boundary value problem ⎧u” + h(t)f(u) = 0, 0 < t < 1, ⎨$\alpha u\left(0\right)-\beta u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)={\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{a}_{i}u\left({\xi }_i\right)$ ⎩$\gamma u\left(1\right)+\delta u^{\text{'}}\left(1\right)={\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{b}_{i}u\left({\xi }_i\right)$, where ${\xi }_i\in (0,1)$, $a_i,b_i\in (0,\infty )$ (for i ∈ 1,…,m-2) are given constants satisfying $\varrho -{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{a}_i\varphi \left({\xi }_i\right)>0$, $\varrho -{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{b}_i\psi \left({\xi }_i\right)>0$ and $\Delta :=\left|\begin{array}{cc}-{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{a}_i\psi \left({\xi }_i\right)& \varrho -{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{a}_i\varphi \left({\xi }_i\right)\\ \varrho -{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{b}_i\psi \left({\xi }_i\right)& -{\sum }_{i=1}^{m-2}{b}_i\varphi \left({\xi }_i\right)\end{array}\right|<0$. We show the existence of positive solutions if f is either superlinear or sublinear by a simple application of a fixed point theorem in cones. Our result extends a result established by Erbe and...

Let ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ be the Banach space of all bounded and continuous functions on the closed unit ball $B_X$ of a complex Banach space X and holomorphic on the open unit ball, with sup norm, and let ${}_u\left(B_X\right)$ be the subspace of ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ of those functions which are uniformly continuous on $B_X$. A subset $B\subset B_X$ is a boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$ if $\parallel f\parallel =su{p}_{x\in B}\left|f\left(x\right)\right|$ for every $f{\in }_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. We prove that for X = d(w,1) (the Lorentz sequence space) and X = C₁(H), the trace class operators, there is a minimal closed boundary for ${}_{\infty }\left(B_X\right)$. On the other hand, for X = , the Schreier...

Let $L$ be a second order divergence form elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients. The operators arising in connection with $L$, such as the heat semigroup and Riesz transform, are not, in general, of Calderón-Zygmund type and exhibit behavior different from their counterparts built upon the Laplacian. The current paper aims at a thorough description of the properties of such operators in $L^p$, Sobolev, and some new Hardy spaces naturally associated to $L$. First, we show...

Let Φ be a concave function on (0,∞) of strictly critical lower type index $p_{\Phi }\in (0,1]$ and $\omega \in A_{\infty }^{loc}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ (the class of local weights introduced by V. S. Rychkov). We introduce the weighted local Orlicz-Hardy space $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ via the local grand maximal function. Let $\rho \left(t\right)\equiv t^{-1}/{\Phi }^{-1}\left(t^{-1}\right)$ for all t ∈ (0,∞). We also introduce the BMO-type space $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and establish the duality between $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. Characterizations of $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, including the atomic characterization, the local vertical and the local nontangential maximal function characterizations, are...

Let $D_j$ be a bounded hyperconvex domain in ${ℂ}^{n_j}$ and set $D=D₁\times \cdots \times D_s$, j=1,...,s, s ≥ 3. Also let ${\Omega }_{\pi }$ be the image of D under the proper holomorphic map π. We characterize those continuous functions $f:\partial {\Omega }_{\pi }\to ℝ$ that can be extended to a real-valued pluriharmonic function in ${\Omega }_{\pi }$.

We study questions related to exceptional sets of pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ in the unit ball B of ℂⁿ in terms of non-isotropic Hausdorff capacity. For suitable measures μ on the ball B, the pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ are defined by $V_{\mu }\left(z\right)={\int }_{B}log(1/|{\varphi }_z\left(w\right)\left|\right)d\mu \left(w\right)$, where for a fixed z ∈ B, ${\varphi }_z$ denotes the holomorphic automorphism of B satisfying ${\varphi }_z\left(0\right)=z$, ${\varphi }_z\left(z\right)=0$ and $\left({\varphi }_z\circ {\varphi }_z\right)\left(w\right)=w$ for every w ∈ B. If dμ(w) = f(w)dλ(w), where f is a non-negative measurable function of B, and λ is the measure on B, invariant under all holomorphic automorphisms of...

Let $M_S$ denote the strong maximal operator. Let $M_x$ and $M_y$ denote the one-dimensional Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators in the horizontal and vertical directions in ℝ². A function h supported on the unit square Q = [0,1]×[0,1] is exhibited such that ${\int }_Q{M}_y{M}_{x}h<\infty$ but ${\int }_Q{M}_x{M}_{y}h=\infty$. It is shown that if f is a function supported on Q such that ${\int }_Q{M}_y{M}_{x}f<\infty$ but ${\int }_Q{M}_x{M}_{y}f=\infty$, then there exists a set A of finite measure in ℝ² such that ${\int }_A{M}_{S}f=\infty$.

Let $X$ denote either ${\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m$ or ${ℂ}^m$. We study certain analytic properties of the space ${ℰ}^n(X,gp)$ of ordered geometrically generic $n$-point configurations in $X$. This space consists of all $q=(q_1,\cdots ,q_n)\in X^n$ such that no $m+1$ of the points $q_1,\cdots ,q_n$ belong to a hyperplane in $X$. In particular, we show that for a big enough $n$ any holomorphic map $f:{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ commuting with the natural action of the symmetric group $𝐒\left(n\right)$ in ${ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ is of the form $f\left(q\right)=\tau \left(q\right)q=(\tau \left(q\right)q_1,\cdots ,\tau \left(q\right)q_n)$, $q\in {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$, where $\tau :{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to \mathrm{𝐏𝐒𝐋}(m+1,ℂ)$ is an $𝐒\left(n\right)$-invariant holomorphic map. A similar result holds true for mappings of the configuration...
