For every positive definite quadratic form in $n$ variables the reciprocal of the square root of the discriminant is equal to the arithmetic mean of the values assumed by the form on the $n-1$ sphere centered at $0$ and with radius $1$ raised to the ($-\frac{n}{2}$)-th. power. Various consequences are deduced from this, in particular a simplification of some calculations from which one obtains the possibility of solving linear systems using spherical means rather than determinants.

Siano $d$, $g$, $t$ interi con $0\le t\le g$; se esiste in ${\mathbb{P}}_3(ℂ)$ una curva connessa, non singolare di grado $d$ e genere $g$, allora esiste in ${\mathbb{P}}_3(ℂ)$ una curva irriducibile di grado $d$, genere aritmetico $g$ e $t$ nodi.

Let $\alpha \>1$ be irrational. Several authors studied the numbers $${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)=inf\left\{\right|y|:y\in {\Lambda }_m,y\ne 0\},$$ where $m$ is a positive integer and ${\Lambda }_m$ denotes the set of all real numbers of the form $y={ϵ}_0{\alpha }^n+{ϵ}_1{\alpha }^{n-1}+\cdots +{ϵ}_{n-1}\alpha +{ϵ}_n$ with restricted integer coefficients $|{ϵ}_i|\le m$. The value of ${\ell }^1\left(\alpha \right)$ was determined for many particular Pisot numbers and ${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)$ for the golden number. In this paper the value of ${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)$ is determined for irrational numbers $\alpha$, satisfying ${\alpha }^2=a\alpha \pm 1$ with a positive integer $a$.

If the space $𝒬$ of quadratic forms in ${ℝ}^n$ is splitted in a direct sum ${𝒬}_1\oplus ...\oplus {𝒬}_k$ and if $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables of ${ℝ}^n$, assume that there exist a real number $a$ such that $E\left(X\right|X+Y)=a(X+Y)$ and real distinct numbers $b_1,...,b_k$ such that $E\left(q\left(X\right)\right|X+Y)=b_{i}q(X+Y)$ for any $q$ in ${𝒬}_i.$ We prove that this happens only when $k=2$, when ${ℝ}^n$ can be structured in a Euclidean Jordan algebra and when $X$ and $Y$ have Wishart distributions corresponding to this structure.

Inspired by a result from Leibov, we find that the supremum defining the $BLO$ norm in $[0,1]$ is actually attained by a specific sub-interval of $[0,1]$ for $f\in VLO([0,1])$

Let $G$ be a group and $m$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. $G$ is said to be $m$-permutable if every product of $m$ elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if $G$ has a centre of finite index $z$, then $G$ is $(1+[z/2])$-permutable. More bounds are given on the least $m$ such that $G$ is $m$-permutable.

Sia $K\subset \subset {ℝ}^n$ un compatto, $f\ge 0$ una funzione analitica all'intorno di $K$, ed $m$ la massima molteplicità in $K$ degli zeri di $f$; si prova che la potenza $f^{\lambda }$ ($\lambda \in ℂ$, $Re\lambda >\mathrm{—}\frac{1}{m}$) è integrabile in $K$. L'estensione meromorfa dell'applicazione $\lambda \to f^{\lambda }$ da $Re\lambda >0$ a tutto $ℂ$ (con valori in ${𝒟}^{\prime }(K)$ anziché in $L^1(K)$) era già stata provata in [1] e [2].

Ogni logica $L$ genera canonicamente la $L$-equivalenza ${\equiv }_L$e la $L$-immersione $\underset{𝐿}{\to }$ proprio come la logica del primo ordine genera l’equivalenza elementare $\equiv$ e l’immersione elementare $\lesssim$. Astraendo da $L$, è interessante studiare in sè relazioni d’equivalenza e di immersione generali tra strutture. Mostriamo che esiste una corrispondenza biunivoca tra relazioni d’equivalenza con la proprietà di Robinson e relazioni d’immersione con la proprietà di Amalgamazione Forte ($A{P}^{+}$). Caratterizziamo algebricamente...

Si considera l’equazione astratta $B{A}_{1}u+A_{0}u=h$, dove $A_i$ $(i=0,1)$ e $B$ sono convenienti operatori lineari chiusi fra spazi di Banach, $A_i$ non è necessariamente invertibile, e $A_0$, $A_1$ non commutano con $B$. Si studiano esistenza ed unicità delle soluzioni. Si indicano alcune applicazioni a certe equazioni differenziali degeneri o singolari.

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\>2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.

Suppose Δ̃ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere $S^{d-1},{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k}f\left(x\right)={\Delta }_{\rho }{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k-1}f\left(x\right)$ and ${\Delta }_{\rho }f\left(x\right)=f\left(\rho x\right)-f\left(x\right)$ where ρ ∈ SO(d). Then ${\omega }^m{(f,t)}_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}\equiv sup\parallel {\Delta }_{\rho }^{m}f{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:\rho \in SO\left(d\right),ma{x}_{x\in S^{d-1}}\rho x·x\ge cost$ and $K̃ₘ{(f,t^m)}_p\equiv inf\parallel f-g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}+t^m\parallel {(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:g\in \left({(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}\right)$ are equivalent for 1 < p < ∞. We note that for even m the relation was recently investigated by the second author. The equivalence yields an extension of the results on sharp Jackson inequalities on the sphere. A new strong converse inequality for $L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)$ given in this paper plays a significant role in the proof.

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

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...

Dato un cono $V$ aperto non vuoto, convesso, regolare e affinemente omogeneo in uno spazio vettoriale reale $W$ di dimensione finita si prova che per ogni $v$ appartenente a $V$ esiste un diffeomorfismo $E_v:W\to V$ che soddisfa le condizioni seguenti E1) $E_v(0)=v$; E2) $det(d{E}_v(y))={\mathrm{\Phi }}_V{(E_v(y))}^{-1}$ per ogni $y$ appartenente a $W$ ove ${\mathrm{\Phi }}_V:V\to {𝐑}^{+}$ è la funzione caratteristica di $V$.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let $F\subset C^{\ast }(X)$ be a vector sublattice over $ℝ$ which separates points from closed sets of $X$. The compactification $e_{F}X$ obtained by embedding $X$ in a real cube via the diagonal map, is different, in general, from the Wallman compactification $\omega (Z(F))$. In this paper, it is shown that there exists a lattice $F_z$ containing $F$ such that $\omega (Z(F))=\omega (Z(F_z))=e_{F}X$. In particular this implies that $\omega (Z(F))\ge e_{F}X$. Conditions in order to be $\omega (Z(F))=e_{F}X$ are given. Finally we prove that, if $\alpha X$ is a compactification of $X$ such that $C{l}_{\alpha X}(\alpha X\setminus X)$ is $0$-dimensional, then there is an...

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...

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.
