In this paper, let $\Sigma\subset\R^{6}$ be a compact convex hypersurface. We prove that if $\Sigma$ carries only finitely many geometrically distinct closed characteristics, then at least two of them must possess irrational mean indices.…
The union of a collection of $n$ sets is generally expressed in terms of a characteristic (indicator) function that contains $2^{n}-1$ terms. In this article, a much simpler expression is found that requires the evaluation of $n$ terms…
We call a function $f$ in $C(X)$ to be hard-bounded if $f$ is bounded on every hard subset, a special kind of closed subset, of $X$. We call a subset $T$ of $X$ to be $S$-embedded if every hard-bounded continuous function of $T$ can be…
A convexity theorem for certain G-orbits in a complexified Riemannian symmetric space G_C/K_C is proved. Applications to analytically continued spherical functions will be given.
In this paper, we study weighted composition operators on Bergman spaces of analytic functions which are square integrable on polydisk. We develop the study in full generality, meaning that the corresponding weighted composition operators…
We prove that bounded Beltrami fields must be symmetric if a proportionality factor depends on 2 variables in the cylindrical coordinate and admits a regular level set diffeomorphic to a cylinder or a torus.
In singularity theory or algebraic geometry, it is natural to investigate possible Hilbert functions for special algebras $A$ such as local complete intersections or more generally Gorenstein algebras. The sequences that occur as {the}…
It is shown that for a given log-concave function, its symmetric decreasing rearrangement is always harder to approximate in the symmetric difference metric by inner log-linearizations with a fixed number of break points. This extends a…
We consider contractions of complexified real cones, as recently introduced by Rugh in [Rugh10]. Dubois [Dub09] gave optimal conditions to determine if a matrix contracts a canonical complex cone. First we generalize his results to the case…
We examine a condition on a simply connected 2-complex X ensuring that groups acting properly on X are coherent. This extends earlier work on 2-complexes with negative sectional curvature which covers the case that G acts freely. Our…
Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…
In this work, we present a new characterization of symmetric $H^+$-tensors. It is known that a symmetric tensor is an $H^+$-tensor if and only if it is a generalized diagonally dominant tensor with nonnegative diagonal elements. By…
In this sequence, we first prove an abstract Morse index theorem in a Hilbert space modeling a variational problem with constraints. Then, our abstract formulation is applied to study several optimization setups including closed CMC…
In this paper we study the complex symmetry in the several variable Fock space by using the techniques of weighted composition operators and semigroups. We characterize unbounded weighted composition operators that are (real) complex…
So far, it is still unknown whether all the closed characteristics on a symmetric compact star-shaped hypersurface $\Sigma$ in ${\bf R}^{2n}$ are symmetric. In order to understand behaviors of such orbits, in this paper we establish first…
We characterize the approximate monomial complexity, sign monomial complexity , and the approximate L 1 norm of symmetric functions in terms of simple combinatorial measures of the functions. Our characterization of the approximate L 1 norm…
A commuting triple of Hilbert space operators $(A,B,P)$, for which the closed tetrablock $\overline{\mathbb E}$ is a spectral set, is called a \textit{tetrablock-contraction} or simply an $\mathbb E$-\textit{contraction}, where \[ \mathbb…
If $U$ is a unitary operator on a separable complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, an application of the spectral theorem says there is a conjugation $C$ on $\mathcal{H}$ (an antilinear, involutive, isometry on $\mathcal{H}$) for which $ C U…
For a sequence of complex Wiener-Ito multiple integrals, the equivalence between the convergence of the symmetrized contraction norms and that of the non-symmetrized contraction norms is shown directly by means of a new version of complex…
This paper gives a self-contained introduction to the Hilbert projective metric $\mathcal{H}$ and its fundamental properties, with a particular focus on the space of probability measures. We start by defining the Hilbert pseudo-metric on…
