Recently the author has presented a new approach to solving extremal problems of geometric function theory. It involves the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces. We show here that this approach,…

In this paper we solve the problem of approximating functionals $(\varphi(A)x, f)$ (where $\varphi(A)$ is some function of self-adjoint operator $A$) on the class of elements of a Hilbert space that is defined with the help of another…

We had shown earlier that for a standard graded ring $R$ and a graded ideal $I$ in characteristic $p>0$, with $\ell(R/I) <\infty$, there exists a compactly supported continuous function $f_{R, I}$ whose Riemann integral is the HK…

A unitarily invariant, complete Nevanlinna--Pick kernel $K$ on the unit ball determines a class of operators on Hilbert space called $K$-contractions. We study those $K$-contractions that are constrained, in the sense that they are…

Let V be a bounded pseudoconvex Reinhardt domain in C^2 with many strictly pseudoconvex points and logarithmic image W. It was known that the maximal ideal in $H^{\infty}(V)$ consisting of all functions vanishing at (p,q) in V is generated…

We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…

Given a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^m$, and a finite set of points $z_1,z_2,\ldots, z_n\in \Omega$ and $w_1,w_2,\ldots, w_n\in \mathbb{D}$ (the open unit disc in the complex plane), the \textit{Pick interpolation problem} asks when there…

Let T_t=e^{-tL} be a semigroup of self-adjoint linear operators acting on L^2(X,mu), where (X,d mu) is a space of homogeneous type. We assume that T_t has an integral kernel T_t(x,y) which satisfies the upper and lower Gaussian bounds:…

For any function $f$ in $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$, let $T_f$ denote the corresponding Toeplitz operator the Bergman space $A^2(\mathbb{D})$. A recent result of D. Luecking shows that if $T_f$ has finite rank then $f$ must be the zero…

In this paper, we study several finite approximation properties of topological full groups of group actions on the Cantor set such that free points are dense. Firstly, we establish that for such a distal action $\alpha$ of a countable…

We use residue currents on toric varieties to obtain bounds on the degrees of solutions to polynomial ideal membership problems. Our bounds depend on (the volume of) the Newton polytope of the polynomial system and are therefore well…

Let $R$ be an excellent Noetherian ring of prime characteristic. Consider an arbitrary nested pair of ideals (or more generally, a nested pair of submodules of a fixed finite module). We do \emph{not} assume that their quotient has finite…

Let $B$ be a Blaschke product. We prove in several different ways the corona theorem for the algebra $H^\infty_B:=\mC+BH^\infty$. That is, we show the equivalence of the classical {\em corona condition} on data $f_1, ..., f_n \in…

This article studies the problem of approximating functions belonging to a Hilbert space $H_d$ with an isotropic or anisotropic Gaussian reproducing kernel, $$ K_d(\bx,\bt) = \exp\left(-\sum_{\ell=1}^d\gamma_\ell^2(x_\ell-t_\ell)^2\right) \…

Let $R^h$ denote the polynomial ring in variables $x_1,\,\ldots,\, x_h$ over a specified field $K$. We consider all of these rings simultaneously, and in each use lexicographic (lex) monomial order with $x_1 > \cdots > x_h$. Given a fixed…

We examine densely defined (but possibly unbounded) multiplication operators in Hilbert function spaces possessing a complete Nevanlinna-Pick (CNP) kernel. For such a densely defined operator $T$, the domains of $T$ and $T^*$ are…

Let $ v$ be a smooth vector field on the plane, that is a map from the plane to the unit circle. We study sufficient conditions for the boundedness of the Hilbert transform \operatorname H_{v, \epsilon}f(x) := \text{p.v.}\int_{-\epsilon}^…

We analyse a special case of the robust stabilization problem under structured uncertainty. We obtain a new criterion for the solvability of the spectral Nevanlinna-Pick problem, which is a special case of the $\mu$-synthesis problem of…

A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression $A_{\phi}:\K_{\Theta} \to \K_{\Theta}$ of a Toeplitz operator $T_{\phi}:H^2\to H^2$ to a model space $\K_{\Theta} := H^2 \ominus \Theta H^2$. For $\Theta$ inner, let $\T_{\Theta}$ denote the…
