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 $m$ and $n$ be positive integers, and let $R=(r_1,...,r_m)$ and $S=(s_1,...,s_n)$ be nonnegative integral vectors. Let $A(R,S)$ be the set of all $m\times n$ $(0,1)$-matrices with row sum vector $R$ and column vector $S$. Let $R$ and $S$ be nonincreasing, and let $F\left(R\right)$ be the $m\times n$ $(0,1)$-matrix, where for each $i$, the $i$th row of $F(R,S)$ consists of $r_i$ 1’s followed by $(n-r_i)$ 0’s. Let $A\in A(R,S)$. The discrepancy of A, $\mathrm{disc}\left(A\right)$, is the number of positions in which $F\left(R\right)$ has a 1 and $A$ has a 0. In this paper we investigate linear operators mapping $m\times n$ matrices over...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

A metacyclic group $H$ can be presented as $\langle \alpha ,\beta :{\alpha }^n=1$, ${\beta }^m={\alpha }^t$, $\beta \alpha {\beta }^{-1}={\alpha }^r\rangle$ for some $n$, $m$, $t$, $r$. Each endomorphism $\sigma$ of $H$ is determined by $\sigma \left(\alpha \right)={\alpha }^{x_1}{\beta }^{y_1}$, $\sigma \left(\beta \right)={\alpha }^{x_2}{\beta }^{y_2}$ for some integers $x_1$, $x_2$, $y_1$, $y_2$. We give sufficient and necessary conditions on $x_1$, $x_2$, $y_1$, $y_2$ for $\sigma$ to be an automorphism.

Let ${\mu }_A$ be the singular measure on the Heisenberg group ${ℍ}^n$ supported on the graph of the quadratic function $\varphi \left(y\right)=y^{t}Ay$, where $A$ is a $2n\times 2n$ real symmetric matrix. If $det(2A\pm J)\ne 0$, we prove that the operator of convolution by ${\mu }_A$ on the right is bounded from $L^{\frac{(2n+2)}{(2n+1)}}\left({ℍ}^n\right)$ to $L^{2n+2}\left({ℍ}^n\right)$. We also study the type set of the measures $\mathrm{d}{\nu }_{\gamma }(y,s)=\eta \left(y\right){\left|y\right|}^{-\gamma }\mathrm{d}{\mu }_A(y,s)$, for $0\le \gamma <2n$, where $\eta$ is a cut-off function around the origin on ${ℝ}^{2n}$. Moreover, for $\gamma =0$ we characterize the type set of ${\nu }_0$.

Let ${𝕄}_{n,m}$ be the set of all $n\times m$ real or complex matrices. For $A,B\in {𝕄}_{n,m}$, we say that $A$ is row-sum majorized by $B$ (written as $A{\prec }^{\mathrm{rs}}B$) if $R\left(A\right)\prec R\left(B\right)$, where $R\left(A\right)$ is the row sum vector of $A$ and $\prec$ is the classical majorization on ${ℝ}^n$. In the present paper, the structure of all linear operators $T:{𝕄}_{n,m}\to {𝕄}_{n,m}$ preserving or strongly preserving row-sum majorization is characterized. Also we consider the concepts of even and circulant majorization on ${ℝ}^n$ and then find the linear preservers of row-sum majorization of these relations on ${𝕄}_{n,m}$. ...

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

For $X,Y\in {𝐌}_{n,m}$ it is said that $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$, and we write $X{\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$, if there exists an $n$-by-$n$ upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix $R$ such that $X=RY$. Define the relation ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ as follows. $X{\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$ if $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$ and $Y$ is gut-majorized by $X$. The (strong) linear preservers of ${\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and strong linear preservers of this relation on ${𝐌}_{n,m}$ have been characterized before. This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and ${𝐌}_{n,m}$.
