The laplacian and the Dirac operator in infinitely many variables
The problem of coincidence of the interpolation spaces obtained by use of the interpolation method of Gustavsson-Peetre generated by (parameters) quasi-concave functions is investigated. It is shown that a restriction of this method to the class of all non-trivial Banach couples gives different interpolation spaces whenever two different parameters satisfying some conditions are used.
We study Palamodov's derived projective limit functor Proj¹ for projective spectra consisting of webbed locally convex spaces introduced by Wilde. This class contains almost all locally convex spaces appearing in analysis. We provide a natural characterization for the vanishing of Proj¹ which generalizes and unifies results of Palamodov and Retakh for spectra of Fréchet and (LB)-spaces. We thus obtain a general tool for solving surjectivity problems in analysis.
We show that the range of a contractive projection on a Lebesgue-Bochner space of Hilbert valued functions Lp(H) is isometric to a lp-direct sum of Hilbert-valued Lp-spaces. We explicit the structure of contractive projections. As a consequence for every 1 < p < ∞ the class Cp of lp-direct sums of Hilbert-valued Lp-spaces is axiomatizable (in the class of all Banach spaces).
In this paper we prove a variety of results about the signature operator on Witt spaces. First, we give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction, which is inductive over the ‘depth’ of the singularity, is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index—the analytic signature of —is well-defined....
