A generalization of a theorem of Erdős-Rényi to m-fold sums and differences

Kathryn E. Hare, Shuntaro Yamagishi (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Let m ≥ 2 be a positive integer. Given a set E(ω) ⊆ ℕ we define r N ( m ) ( ω ) to be the number of ways to represent N ∈ ℤ as a combination of sums and differences of m distinct elements of E(ω). In this paper, we prove the existence of a “thick” set E(ω) and a positive constant K such that r N ( m ) ( ω ) < K for all N ∈ ℤ. This is a generalization of a known theorem by Erdős and Rényi. We also apply our results to harmonic analysis, where we prove the existence of certain thin sets.

A generalization of amenability and inner amenability of groups

Ali Ghaffari (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a locally compact group. We continue our work [A. Ghaffari: Γ -amenability of locally compact groups, Acta Math. Sinica, English Series, 26 (2010), 2313–2324] in the study of Γ -amenability of a locally compact group G defined with respect to a closed subgroup Γ of G × G . In this paper, among other things, we introduce and study a closed subspace A Γ p ( G ) of L ( Γ ) and then characterize the Γ -amenability of G using A Γ p ( G ) . Various necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a locally compact group to possess...

A generalized notion of n -weak amenability

Abasalt Bodaghi, Behrouz Shojaee (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

In the current work, a new notion of n -weak amenability of Banach algebras using homomorphisms, namely ( ϕ , ψ ) - n -weak amenability is introduced. Among many other things, some relations between ( ϕ , ψ ) - n -weak amenability of a Banach algebra 𝒜 and M m ( 𝒜 ) , the Banach algebra of m × m matrices with entries from 𝒜 , are studied. Also, the relation of this new concept of amenability of a Banach algebra and its unitization is investigated. As an example, it is shown that the group algebra L 1 ( G ) is ( ϕ , ψ )- n -weakly amenable for any...

A geometric classification of Lie groups.

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is part of a general program that was originally designed to study the Heat diffusion kernel on Lie groups.

A Helson set of uniqueness but not of synthesis

T. Körner (1991)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In [3] I showed that there are Helson sets on the circle 𝕋 which are not of synthesis, by constructing a Helson set which was not of uniqueness and so automatically not of synthesis. In [2] Kaufman gave a substantially simpler construction of such a set; his construction is now standard. It is natural to ask whether there exist Helson sets which are of uniqueness but not of synthesis; this has circulated as an open question. The answer is "yes" and was also given in [3, pp. 87-92] but seems to...

A Künneth formula in topological homology and its applications to the simplicial cohomology of ¹ ( k )

F. Gourdeau, Z. A. Lykova, M. C. White (2005)

Studia Mathematica

We establish a Künneth formula for some chain complexes in the categories of Fréchet and Banach spaces. We consider a complex of Banach spaces and continuous boundary maps dₙ with closed ranges and prove that Hⁿ(’) ≅ Hₙ()’, where Hₙ()’ is the dual space of the homology group of and Hⁿ(’) is the cohomology group of the dual complex ’. A Künneth formula for chain complexes of nuclear Fréchet spaces and continuous boundary maps with closed ranges is also obtained. This enables us to describe explicitly...

A maximal function on harmonic extensions of H -type groups

Maria Vallarino (2006)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Let N be an H -type group and S N × + be its harmonic extension. We study a left invariant Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator M ρ on S , obtained by taking maximal averages with respect to the right Haar measure over left-translates of a family of neighbourhoods of the identity. We prove that the maximal operator M ρ is of weak type ( 1 , 1 ) .

A moment sequence in the q-world

Anna Kula (2007)

Banach Center Publications

The aim of the paper is to present some initial results about a possible generalization of moment sequences to a so-called q-calculus. A characterization of such a q-analogue in terms of appropriate positivity conditions is also investigated. Using the result due to Maserick and Szafraniec, we adapt a classical description of Hausdorff moment sequences in terms of positive definiteness and complete monotonicity to the q-situation. This makes a link between q-positive definiteness and q-complete...
