Degree theory for VMO maps on metric spaces

Francesco Uguzzoni, Ermanno Lanconelli (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We construct a degree theory for Vanishing Mean Oscillation functions in metric spaces, following some ideas of Brezis & Nirenberg. The underlying sets of our metric spaces are bounded open subsets of N and their boundaries. Then, we apply our results in order to analyze the surjectivity properties of the L -harmonic extensions of VMO vector-valued functions. The operators L we are dealing with are second order linear differential operators sum of squares of vector fields satisfying the hypoellipticity...

Derivations into iterated duals of Banach algebras

H. Dales, F. Ghahramani, N. Grønbæek (1998)

Studia Mathematica

We introduce two new notions of amenability for a Banach algebra A. The algebra A is n-weakly amenable (for n ∈ ℕ) if the first continuous cohomology group of A with coefficients in the n th dual space A ( n ) is zero; i.e., 1 ( A , A ( n ) ) = 0 . Further, A is permanently weakly amenable if A is n-weakly amenable for each n ∈ ℕ. We begin by examining the relations between m-weak amenability and n-weak amenability for distinct m,n ∈ ℕ. We then examine when Banach algebras in various classes are n-weakly amenable; we study...

Difference functions of periodic measurable functions

Tamás Keleti (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate some problems of the following type: For which sets H is it true that if f is in a given class ℱ of periodic functions and the difference functions Δ h f ( x ) = f ( x + h ) - f ( x ) are in a given smaller class G for every h ∈ H then f itself must be in G? Denoting the class of counter-example sets by ℌ(ℱ,G), that is, ( , G ) = H / : ( f G ) ( h H ) Δ h f G , we try to characterize ℌ(ℱ,G) for some interesting classes of functions ℱ ⊃ G. We study classes of measurable functions on the circle group 𝕋 = / that are invariant for changes on null-sets (e.g. measurable...
