Spectral decompositions, ergodic averages, and the Hilbert transform

Earl Berkson, T. A. Gillespie (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let U be a trigonometrically well-bounded operator on a Banach space , and denote by ( U ) n = 1 the sequence of (C,2) weighted discrete ergodic averages of U, that is, ( U ) = 1 / n 0 < | k | n ( 1 - | k | / ( n + 1 ) ) U k . We show that this sequence ( U ) n = 1 of weighted ergodic averages converges in the strong operator topology to an idempotent operator whose range is x ∈ : Ux = x, and whose null space is the closure of (I - U). This result expands the scope of the traditional Ergodic Theorem, and thereby serves as a link between Banach space spectral...

Norm convergence of some power series of operators in L p with applications in ergodic theory

Christophe Cuny (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let X be a closed subspace of L p ( μ ) , where μ is an arbitrary measure and 1 < p < ∞. Let U be an invertible operator on X such that s u p n | | U | | < . Motivated by applications in ergodic theory, we obtain (optimal) conditions for the convergence of series like n 1 ( U f ) / n 1 - α , 0 ≤ α < 1, in terms of | | f + + U n - 1 f | | p , generalizing results for unitary (or normal) operators in L²(μ). The proofs make use of the spectral integration initiated by Berkson and Gillespie and, more particularly, of results from a paper by Berkson-Bourgain-Gillespie. ...

Almost everywhere convergence of generalized ergodic transforms for invertible power-bounded operators in L p

Christophe Cuny (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that some results of Gaposhkin about a.e. convergence of series associated to a unitary operator U acting on L²(X,Σ,μ) (μ is a σ-finite measure) may be extended to the case where U is an invertible power-bounded operator acting on L p ( X , Σ , μ ) , p > 1. The proofs make use of the spectral integration initiated by Berkson-Gillespie and, more specifically, of recent results of the author.

Positive L¹ operators associated with nonsingular mappings and an example of E. Hille

Isaac Kornfeld, Wojciech Kosek (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

E. Hille [Hi1] gave an example of an operator in L¹[0,1] satisfying the mean ergodic theorem (MET) and such that supₙ||Tⁿ|| = ∞ (actually, | | T | | n 1 / 4 ). This was the first example of a non-power bounded mean ergodic L¹ operator. In this note, the possible rates of growth (in n) of the norms of Tⁿ for such operators are studied. We show that, for every γ > 0, there are positive L¹ operators T satisfying the MET with l i m n | | T | | / n 1 - γ = .

The one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform in Banach spaces

Guy Cohen, Christophe Cuny, Michael Lin (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let T be a power-bounded operator on a (real or complex) Banach space. We study the convergence of the one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform l i m n k = 1 n ( T k x ) / k . We prove that weak and strong convergence are equivalent, and in a reflexive space also s u p n | | k = 1 n ( T k x ) / k | | < is equivalent to the convergence. We also show that - k = 1 ( T k ) / k (which converges on (I-T)X) is precisely the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup ( I - T ) | ( I - T ) X ¯ r .

Example of a mean ergodic L¹ operator with the linear rate of growth

Wojciech Kosek (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The rate of growth of an operator T satisfying the mean ergodic theorem (MET) cannot be faster than linear. It was recently shown (Kornfeld-Kosek, Colloq. Math. 98 (2003)) that for every γ > 0, there are positive L¹[0,1] operators T satisfying MET with l i m n | | T | | / n 1 - γ = . In the class of positive L¹ operators this is the most one can hope for in the sense that for every such operator T, there exists a γ₀ > 0 such that l i m s u p | | T | | / n 1 - γ = 0 . In this note we construct an example of a nonpositive L¹ operator with the...

In the author’s recent article [New York J. Math. 17 (2011)] it was shown that if is a super-reflexive space, and E(·): ℝ → () is the spectral decomposition of a trigonometrically well-bounded operator U ∈ (), then over a suitable non-void open interval of r-values,...

On the (C,α) Cesàro bounded operators

Elmouloudi Ed-dari (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

For a given linear operator T in a complex Banach space X and α ∈ ℂ with ℜ (α) > 0, we define the nth Cesàro mean of order α of the powers of T by M α = ( A α ) - 1 k = 0 n A n - k α - 1 T k . For α = 1, we find M ¹ = ( n + 1 ) - 1 k = 0 n T k , the usual Cesàro mean. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a (C,α) bounded operator to be (C,α) strongly (weakly) ergodic.

Mixing via families for measure preserving transformations

Rui Kuang, Xiangdong Ye (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

In topological dynamics a theory of recurrence properties via (Furstenberg) families was established in the recent years. In the current paper we aim to establish a corresponding theory of ergodicity via families in measurable dynamical systems (MDS). For a family ℱ (of subsets of ℤ₊) and a MDS (X,,μ,T), several notions of ergodicity related to ℱ are introduced, and characterized via the weak topology in the induced Hilbert space L²(μ). T is ℱ-convergence ergodic of order k if for any...

Generalizations of Cesàro means and poles of the resolvent

Laura Burlando (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

An improvement of the generalization-obtained in a previous article [Bu1] by the author-of the uniform ergodic theorem to poles of arbitrary order is derived. In order to answer two natural questions suggested by this result, two examples are also given. Namely, two bounded linear operators T and A are constructed such that n - 2 T converges uniformly to zero, the sum of the range and the kernel of 1-T being closed, and n - 3 k = 0 n - 1 A k converges uniformly, the sum of the range of 1-A and the kernel of (1-A)²...

Hamiltonian loops from the ergodic point of view

Leonid Polterovich (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let G be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold Y . A loop h : S 1 G is called strictly ergodic if for some irrational number the associated skew product map T : S 1 × Y S 1 × Y defined by T ( t , y ) = ( t + α ; h ( t ) y ) is strictly ergodic. In the present paper we address the following question. Which elements of the fundamental group of G can be represented by strictly ergodic loops? We prove existence of contractible strictly ergodic loops for a wide class of symplectic manifolds (for instance for simply...

Pointwise convergence for subsequences of weighted averages

Patrick LaVictoire (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that if μₙ are probability measures on ℤ such that μ̂ₙ converges to 0 uniformly on every compact subset of (0,1), then there exists a subsequence n k such that the weighted ergodic averages corresponding to μ n k satisfy a pointwise ergodic theorem in L¹. We further discuss the relationship between Fourier decay and pointwise ergodic theorems for subsequences, considering in particular the averages along n² + ⌊ρ(n)⌋ for a slowly growing function ρ. Under some monotonicity assumptions,...

Ergodic theorems in fully symmetric spaces of τ-measurable operators

Vladimir Chilin, Semyon Litvinov (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Junge and Xu (2007), employing the technique of noncommutative interpolation, established a maximal ergodic theorem in noncommutative L p -spaces, 1 < p < ∞, and derived corresponding maximal ergodic inequalities and individual ergodic theorems. In this article, we derive maximal ergodic inequalities in noncommutative L p -spaces directly from the results of Yeadon (1977) and apply them to prove corresponding individual and Besicovitch weighted ergodic theorems. Then we extend these...

On ergodicity for operators with bounded resolvent in Banach spaces

Kirsti Mattila (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We prove results on ergodicity, i.e. on the property that the space is a direct sum of the kernel of an operator and the closure of its range, for closed linear operators A such that | | α ( α - A ) - 1 | | is uniformly bounded for all α > 0. We consider operators on Banach spaces which have the property that the space is complemented in its second dual space by a projection P. Results on ergodicity are obtained under a norm condition ||I - 2P|| ||I - Q|| < 2 where Q is a projection depending on the...

On the ergodic decomposition for a cocycle

Jean-Pierre Conze, Albert Raugi (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let (X,,μ,τ) be an ergodic dynamical system and φ be a measurable map from X to a locally compact second countable group G with left Haar measure m G . We consider the map τ φ defined on X × G by τ φ : ( x , g ) ( τ x , φ ( x ) g ) and the cocycle ( φ ) n generated by φ. Using a characterization of the ergodic invariant measures for τ φ , we give the form of the ergodic decomposition of μ ( d x ) m G ( d g ) or more generally of the τ φ -invariant measures μ χ ( d x ) χ ( g ) m G ( d g ) , where μ χ ( d x ) is χ∘φ-conformal for an exponential χ on G.

Precompactness in the uniform ergodic theory

Yu. Lyubich, J. Zemánek (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We characterize the Banach space operators T whose arithmetic means n - 1 ( I + T + . . . + T n - 1 ) n 1 form a precompact set in the operator norm topology. This occurs if and only if the sequence n - 1 T n n 1 is precompact and the point 1 is at most a simple pole of the resolvent of T. Equivalent geometric conditions are also obtained.

Note on the isomorphism problem for weighted unitary operators associated with a nonsingular automorphism

K. Frączek, M. Wysokińska (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give a negative answer to a question put by Nadkarni: Let S be an ergodic, conservative and nonsingular automorphism on ( X ̃ , X ̃ , m ) . Consider the associated unitary operators on L ² ( X ̃ , X ̃ , m ) given by U ̃ S f = ( d ( m S ) / d m ) · ( f S ) and φ · U ̃ S , where φ is a cocycle of modulus one. Does spectral isomorphism of these two operators imply that φ is a coboundary? To answer it negatively, we give an example which arises from an infinite measure-preserving transformation with countable Lebesgue spectrum.

Non-Typical Points for β-Shifts

David Färm, Tomas Persson (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We study sets of non-typical points under the map f β β x mod 1 for non-integer β and extend our results from [Fund. Math. 209 (2010)] in several directions. In particular, we prove that sets of points whose forward orbit avoid certain Cantor sets, and the set of points for which ergodic averages diverge, have large intersection properties. We observe that the technical condition β > 1.541 found in the above paper can be removed.

Dispersing cocycles and mixing flows under functions

Klaus Schmidt (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let T be a measure-preserving and mixing action of a countable abelian group G on a probability space (X,,μ) and A a locally compact second countable abelian group. A cocycle c: G × X → A for T disperses if l i m g c ( g , · ) - α ( g ) = in measure for every map α: G → A. We prove that such a cocycle c does not disperse if and only if there exists a compact subgroup A₀ ⊂ A such that the composition θ ∘ c: G × X → A/A₀ of c with the quotient map θ: A → A/A₀ is trivial (i.e. cohomologous to a homomorphism η: G → A/A₀). This...

Pointwise limit theorem for a class of unbounded operators in r -spaces

Ryszard Jajte (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We distinguish a class of unbounded operators in r , r ≥ 1, related to the self-adjoint operators in ². For these operators we prove a kind of individual ergodic theorem, replacing the classical Cesàro averages by Borel summability. The result is equivalent to a version of Gaposhkin’s criterion for the a.e. convergence of operators. In the proof, the theory of martingales and interpolation in r -spaces are applied.

JOP's counting function and Jones' square function

Karin Reinhold (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study a class of square functions in a general framework with applications to a variety of situations: samples along subsequences, averages of d actions and of positive L¹ contractions. We also study the relationship between a counting function first introduced by Jamison, Orey and Pruitt, in a variety of situations, and the corresponding ergodic averages. We show that the maximal counting function is not dominated by the square functions.

Multiparameter ergodic Cesàro-α averages

Colloquium Mathematicae

Net (X,ℱ,ν) be a σ-finite measure space. Associated with k Lamperti operators on L p ( ν ) , T , . . . , T k , n ̅ = ( n , . . . , n k ) k and α ̅ = ( α , . . . , α k ) with 0 < α j 1 , we define the ergodic Cesàro-α̅ averages n ̅ , α ̅ f = 1 / ( j = 1 k A n j α j ) i k = 0 n k i = 0 n j = 1 k A n j - i j α j - 1 T k i k T i f . For these averages we prove the almost everywhere convergence on X and the convergence in the L p ( ν ) norm, when n , . . . , n k independently, for all f L p ( d ν ) with p > 1/α⁎ where α = m i n 1 j k α j . In the limit case p = 1/α⁎, we prove that the averages n ̅ , α ̅ f converge almost everywhere on X for all f in the Orlicz-Lorentz space Λ ( 1 / α , φ m - 1 ) with φ ( t ) = t ( 1 + l o g t ) m . To obtain the result in the limit case we need...

Moving averages

S. V. Butler, J. M. Rosenblatt (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

In ergodic theory, certain sequences of averages A k f may not converge almost everywhere for all f ∈ L¹(X), but a sufficiently rapidly growing subsequence A m k f of these averages will be well behaved for all f. The order of growth of this subsequence that is sufficient is often hyperexponential, but not necessarily so. For example, if the averages are A k f ( x ) = 1 / ( 2 k ) j = 4 k + 1 4 k + 2 k f ( T j x ) , then the subsequence A k ² f will not be pointwise good even on L , but the subsequence A 2 k f will be pointwise good on L¹. Understanding when the hyperexponential...

New spectral multiplicities for ergodic actions

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let G be a locally compact second countable Abelian group. Given a measure preserving action T of G on a standard probability space (X,μ), let ℳ (T) denote the set of essential values of the spectral multiplicity function of the Koopman representation U T of G defined in L²(X,μ) ⊖ ℂ by U T ( g ) f : = f T - g . If G is either a discrete countable Abelian group or ℝⁿ, n ≥ 1, it is shown that the sets of the form p,q,pq, p,q,r,pq,pr,qr,pqr etc. or any multiplicative (and additive) subsemigroup of ℕ are realizable...

Krzysztof Zajkowski (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We prove that for the spectral radius of a weighted composition operator a T α , acting in the space L p ( X , , μ ) , the following variational principle holds: l n r ( a T α ) = m a x ν M ¹ α , e X l n | a | d ν , where X is a Hausdorff compact space, α: X → X is a continuous mapping preserving a Borel measure μ with suppμ = X, M ¹ α , e is the set of all α-invariant ergodic probability measures on X, and a: X → ℝ is a continuous and -measurable function, where = n = 0 α - n ( ) . This considerably extends the range of validity of the above formula, which was previously known...

Let U , . . . , U d be a non-periodic collection of commuting measure preserving transformations on a probability space (Ω,Σ,μ). Also let Γ be a nonempty subset of d and the associated collection of rectangular parallelepipeds in d with sides parallel to the axes and dimensions of the form n × × n d with ( n , . . . , n d ) Γ . The associated multiparameter geometric and ergodic maximal operators M and M Γ are defined respectively on L ¹ ( d ) and L¹(Ω) by M g ( x ) = s u p x R 1 / | R | R | g ( y ) | d y and M Γ f ( ω ) = s u p ( n , . . . , n d ) Γ 1 / n n d j = 0 n - 1 j d = 0 n d - 1 | f ( U j U d j d ω ) | . Given a Young function Φ, it is shown that M satisfies the weak type estimate ...

Distortion bounds for C 2 + η unimodal maps

Mike Todd (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We obtain estimates for derivative and cross-ratio distortion for C 2 + η (any η > 0) unimodal maps with non-flat critical points. We do not require any “Schwarzian-like” condition. For two intervals J ⊂ T, the cross-ratio is defined as the value B(T,J): = (|T| |J|)/(|L| |R|) where L,R are the left and right connected components of T∖J respectively. For an interval map g such that g T : T is a diffeomorphism, we consider the cross-ratio distortion to be B(g,T,J): = B(g(T),g(J))/B(T,J). We prove...

Poisson's equation and characterizations of reflexivity of Banach spaces

Vladimir P. Fonf, Michael Lin, Przemysław Wojtaszczyk (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a Banach space with a basis. We prove that X is reflexive if and only if every power-bounded linear operator T satisfies Browder’s equality x X : s u p n | | k = 1 n T k x | | < = (I-T)X . We then deduce that X (with a basis) is reflexive if and only if every strongly continuous bounded semigroup T t : t 0 with generator A satisfies A X = x X : s u p s > 0 | | 0 s T t x d t | | < . The range (I-T)X (respectively, AX for continuous time) is the space of x ∈ X for which Poisson’s equation (I-T)y = x (Ay = x in continuous time) has a solution y ∈ X; the above equalities...

Takateru Okayasu, Jan Stochel, Yasunori Ueda (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The main goal of this paper is to clarify the antisymmetric nature of a binary relation ≪ which is defined for normal operators A and B by: A ≪ B if there exists an operator T such that E A ( Δ ) T * E B ( Δ ) T for all Borel subset Δ of the complex plane ℂ, where E A and E B are spectral measures of A and B, respectively (the operators A and B are allowed to act in different complex Hilbert spaces). It is proved that if A ≪ B and B ≪ A, then A and B are unitarily equivalent, which shows that the relation ≪ is...

On the convergence to 0 of mₙξmod 1

Bassam Fayad, Jean-Paul Thouvenot (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We show that for any irrational number α and a sequence m l l of integers such that l i m l | | | m l α | | | = 0 , there exists a continuous measure μ on the circle such that l i m l | | | m l θ | | | d μ ( θ ) = 0 . This implies that any rigidity sequence of any ergodic transformation is a rigidity sequence for some weakly mixing dynamical system. On the other hand, we show that for any α ∈ ℝ - ℚ, there exists a sequence m l l of integers such that | | | m l α | | | 0 and such that m l θ [ 1 ] is dense on the circle if and only if θ ∉ ℚα + ℚ.

Optimal observability of the multi-dimensional wave and Schrödinger equations in quantum ergodic domains

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider the wave and Schrödinger equations on a bounded open connected subset Ω of a Riemannian manifold, with Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary conditions whenever its boundary is nonempty. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset ω of Ω during a time interval [ 0 , T ] with T > 0 . It is well known that, if the pair ( ω , T ) satisfies the Geometric Control Condition ( ω being an open set), then an observability inequality holds guaranteeing that the total energy of solutions...

Best constants for some operators associated with the Fourier and Hilbert transforms

B. Hollenbeck, N. J. Kalton, I. E. Verbitsky (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We determine the norm in L p ( ) , 1 < p < ∞, of the operator I - s c , where c and s are respectively the cosine and sine Fourier transforms on the positive real axis, and I is the identity operator. This solves a problem posed in 1984 by M. S. Birman [Bir] which originated in scattering theory for unbounded obstacles in the plane. We also obtain the L p -norms of the operators aI + bH, where H is the Hilbert transform (conjugate function operator) on the circle or real line, for arbitrary real...

Integral equalities for functions of unbounded spectral operators in Banach spaces

Benedetto Silvestri

The work is dedicated to investigating a limiting procedure for extending “local” integral operator equalities to “global” ones in the sense explained below, and to applying it to obtaining generalizations of the Newton-Leibniz formula for operator-valued functions for a wide class of unbounded operators. The integral equalities considered have the form g ( R F ) f x ( R F ) d μ ( x ) = h ( R F ) . (1) They involve functions of the kind X x f x ( R F ) B ( F ) , where X is a general locally compact space, F runs over a suitable class of Banach subspaces...

We strengthen the Carleson-Hunt theorem by proving L p estimates for the r -variation of the partial sum operators for Fourier series and integrals, for r > 𝚖𝚊𝚡 { p ' , 2 } . Four appendices are concerned with transference, a variation norm Menshov-Paley-Zygmund theorem, and applications to nonlinear Fourier transforms and ergodic theory.

Operators on a Hilbert space similar to a part of the backward shift of multiplicity one

Yoichi Uetake (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A: X → X be a bounded operator on a separable complex Hilbert space X with an inner product · , · X . For b, c ∈ X, a weak resolvent of A is the complex function of the form ( I - z A ) - 1 b , c X . We will discuss an equivalent condition, in terms of weak resolvents, for A to be similar to a restriction of the backward shift of multiplicity 1.

Non-hyperreflexive reflexive spaces of operators

Roman V. Bessonov, Janko Bračič, Michal Zajac (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study operators whose commutant is reflexive but not hyperreflexive. We construct a C₀ contraction and a Jordan block operator S B associated with a Blaschke product B which have the above mentioned property. A sufficient condition for hyperreflexivity of S B is given. Some other results related to hyperreflexivity of spaces of operators that could be interesting in themselves are proved.

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We answer a question of H. Furstenberg on the pointwise convergence of the averages 1 / N n = 1 N U ( f · R ( g ) ) , where U and R are positive operators. We also study the pointwise convergence of the averages 1 / N n = 1 N f ( S x ) g ( R x ) when T and S are measure preserving transformations.

Spectral radius of operators associated with dynamical systems in the spaces C(X)

Krzysztof Zajkowski (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider operators acting in the space C(X) (X is a compact topological space) of the form A u ( x ) = ( k = 1 N e φ k T α k ) u ( x ) = k = 1 N e φ k ( x ) u ( α k ( x ) ) , u ∈ C(X), where φ k C ( X ) and α k : X X are given continuous mappings (1 ≤ k ≤ N). A new formula on the logarithm of the spectral radius r(A) is obtained. The logarithm of r(A) is defined as a nonlinear functional λ depending on the vector of functions φ = ( φ k ) k = 1 N . We prove that l n ( r ( A ) ) = λ ( φ ) = m a x ν M e s k = 1 N X φ k d ν k - λ * ( ν ) , where Mes is the set of all probability vectors of measures ν = ( ν k ) k = 1 N on X × 1,..., N and λ* is some convex lower-semicontinuous functional on...
