Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open subset with $C^{1+\kappa}$-boundary for some $\kappa > 0$. Consider the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator associated to the elliptic operator $- \sum \partial_l ( c_{kl} \, \partial_k ) + V$, where the $c_{kl} =…

An operator $T$ in a separable factor $\mathcal{M}$ is said to be irreducible in $\mathcal{M}$ if the von Neumann subalgebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ is an irreducible subfactor of $\mathcal{M}$, i.e., $W^*(T)'\cap\mathcal{M}=\mathbb{C}I$.…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of contractive operators and strongly continuous semigroups on separable Hilbert spaces using the notion of rigidity. In particular, we show that a "typical" contraction $T$ contains the unit circle times…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces. Suppose $Y$ either has a shrinking basis or $Y$ is isomorphic to $C(2^\mathbb{N})$ and $A$ is a subset of weakly compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ which is analytic in the strong operator…

A semigroup $S$ is called a weakly exponential semigroup if, for every couple $(a,b)\in S\times S$ and every positive integer $n$, there is a non-negative integer $m$ such that $(ab)^{n+m}=a^nb^n(ab)^m=(ab)^ma^nb^n$. A semigroup $S$ is…

In this article the notions of (quasi weakly hereditary) general closure operator $\mb{C}$ on a category $\cx$ with respect to a class $\cm$ of morphisms, and quasi factorization structures in a category $\cx$ are introduced. It is shown…

We completely characterize connected Lie groups all of whose countable subgroups are weakly amenable. We also provide a characterization of connected semisimple Lie groups that are weakly amenable. Finally, we show that a connected Lie…

An intriguing feature of positive $C_0$-semigroups on function spaces (or more generally on Banach lattices) is that their long-time behaviour is much easier to describe than it is for general semigroups. In particular, the convergence of…

Let $F$ be a class of functions on a probability space $(\Omega,\mu)$ and let $X_1,...,X_k$ be independent random variables distributed according to $\mu$. We establish high probability tail estimates of the form $\sup_{f \in F} |\{i :…

In this paper we prove existence and multiplicity results of unbounded critical points for a general class of weakly lower semicontinuous functionals. We will apply a suitable nonsmooth critical point theory.

This paper deals with the possibility of transforming a weakly measurable function in a Hilbert space into a continuous frame by a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. A necessary condition is that the domain of…

In this note we show that for analytic semigroups the so-called Weiss condition of uniform boundedness of the operators $Re(\lambda)^\einhalb C(\lambda+A)^{-1}, \qquad Re(\lambda)>0$ on the complex right half plane and weak Lebesgue…

The analogue of the Riesz-Dunford functional calculus has been introduced and studied recently as well as the theory of semigroups and groups of linear quaternionic operators. In this paper we suppose that $T$ is the infinitesimal generator…

In this paper we extend the Lumer-Phillips theorem to the context of two--parameter C_0-semigroup of contractions. That is, we characterize the infinitesimal generators of two--parameter C_0-semigroups of contractions. Conditions on the…

For generators of Markov semigroups which lack a spectral gap, it is shown how bounds on the density of states near zero lead to a so-called "weak Poincar\'e inequality" (WPI), originally introduced by Liggett [Ann. Probab., 1991].…

Weak submodularity is a natural relaxation of the diminishing return property, which is equivalent to submodularity. Weak submodularity has been used to show that many (monotone) functions that arise in practice can be efficiently maximized…

The operator of weak commutativity between isomorphic groups $H$ and $H^{\psi }$ was defined by Sidki as \begin{equation*} \chi (H)=\left\langle H\,H^{\psi }\mid \lbrack h,h^{\psi }]=1\,\forall \,h\in H\right\rangle \text{.}…

We consider a class of vector-valued elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients, coupled up to the first-order, in the Lebesgue space L^p(R^d;R^m) with p in (1,\infty). Sufficient conditions to prove generation results of an analytic…

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:…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a group $G$ is the simple graph with vertex set $G$ and two vertices are adjacent whenever one of them is a positive power of the other. In this paper, for a finite noncyclic nilpotent group $G$, we study…
