For algebraic surfaces, several global Phragmén-Lindelöf conditions are characterized in terms of conditions on their limit varieties. This shows that the hyperbolicity conditions that appeared in earlier geometric characterizations are redundant. The result is applied to the problem of existence of a continuous linear right inverse for constant coefficient partial differential operators in three variables in Beurling classes of ultradifferentiable functions.

We show the equivalence of some different definitions of p-superharmonic functions given in the literature. We also provide several other characterizations of p-superharmonicity. This is done in complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincaré inequality. There are many examples of such spaces. A new one given here is the union of a line (with the one-dimensional Lebesgue measure) and a triangle (with a two-dimensional weighted Lebesgue measure). Our results also...

This is a survey of various applications of the notion of the Choquet integral to questions in Potential Theory, i.e. the integral of a function with respect to a non-additive set function on subsets of Euclidean n-space, capacity. The Choquet integral is, in a sense, a nonlinear extension of the standard Lebesgue integral with respect to the linear set function, measure. Applications include an integration principle for potentials, inequalities for maximal functions, stability for solutions to...

Let $X$ be a metric space with a doubling measure, $Y$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $u:X\to Y$ be a Lebesgue precise mapping whose upper gradient $g$ belongs to the Lorentz space $L_{m,1}$, $m\ge 1$. Let $E\subset X$ be a set of measure zero. Then ${\widehat{\mathscr{H}}}_m(E\cap u^{-1}\left(y\right))=0$ for ${\mathscr{H}}_m$-a.e. $y\in Y$, where ${\mathscr{H}}_m$ is the $m$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and ${\widehat{\mathscr{H}}}_m$ is the $m$-codimensional Hausdorff measure. This property is closely related to the coarea formula and implies a version of the Eilenberg inequality. The result relies on estimates of Hausdorff content of level sets...

We prove that two Toeplitz operators acting on the pluriharmonic Bergman space with radial symbol and pluriharmonic symbol respectively commute only in an obvious case.

Traitant la série de Poincaré d’un groupe discret d’isométries en courbure négative comme un noyau de Green, on établit une théorie du potentiel assez comparable à la théorie classique pour affirmer un parallèle entre densités conformes à la Patterson-Sullivan et densités harmoniques, et notamment définir une frontière de Martin où les densités ergodiques forment la partie minimale, et enfin l’identifier géométriquement sous hypothèse d’hyperbolicité.

On montre d’abord que la topologie fine est connexe et localement connexe, dans le cas d’un espace harmonique $\Omega$ satisfaisant au groupe d’axiomes $\left(A_1\right)$ de Brelot (y compris l’axiome de domination). Un autre résultat principal (qu’on n’établit complètement ici que pour le cas classique d’un espace de Green) affirme que, pour toute mesure positive $\mu$ sur $\Omega$, soit à support compact, et pour toute base $B\subset \Omega$ telle que $\mu \left(B\right)=0$, la mesure balayée ${\mu }^B$ a pour support fin la frontière fine de la réunion de toutes les composantes...

Motivated by the recent development in the theory of jump processes, we investigate its conservation property. We will show that a jump process is conservative under certain conditions for the volume-growth of the underlying space and the jump rate of the process. We will also present examples of jump processes which satisfy these conditions.

Étant donnés $p\in [1,+\infty [$ et un arbre $T$ dont chaque sommet est de valence au moins $3$, on étudie la constante de Sobolev d’exposant $p$ de $T$, c’est-à-dire la plus petite constante ${\sigma }_p$ telle que pour tout $u\in {\ell }_p\left(T^0\right)$ on ait ${\parallel u\parallel }_p^p\le {\sigma }_p{\parallel \mathrm{d}u\parallel }_p^p$. Notre motivation vient de la recherche de graphes finis avec des petites constantes de Poincaré d’exposant $p$, en vue d’obtenir des exemples de groupes qui ont la propriété de point fixe sur les espaces $L^p$.
