Partial *-Algebras of Operators in a PIP-Space

2009

The family of operators on a pip-space V is endowed with two, possibly different, partial multiplications, where partial means that the multiplication is not defined for any pair A,B of elements of Op(V) but only for certain couples. The two multiplications, to be called strong and weak, give rise to two different structures that coincide in certain situations. In this chapter we will discuss first the structure of Op(V) as partial *-algebra in the sense of [AIT02] and then the possibility of representing an abstract partial *-algebra into Op(V).

Assouad Type Dimensions in Geometric Analysis

2021

We consider applications of the dual pair of the (upper) Assouad dimension and the lower (Assouad) dimension in analysis. We relate these notions to other dimensional conditions such as a Hausdorff content density condition and an integrability condition for the distance function. The latter condition leads to a characterization of the Muckenhoupt Ap properties of distance functions in terms of the (upper) Assouad dimension. It is also possible to give natural formulations for the validity of Hardy–Sobolev inequalities using these dual Assouad dimensions, and this helps to understand the previously observed dual nature of certain cases of these inequalities. peerReviewed

General Theory: Algebraic Point of View

2009

It is convenient to divide our study of pip-spaces into two stages. In the first one, we consider only the algebraic aspects. That is, we explore the structure generated by a linear compatibility relation on a vector space V , as introduced in Section I.2, without any other ingredient. This will lead us to another equivalent formulation, in terms of particular coverings of V by families of subspaces. This first approach, purely algebraic, is the subject matter of the present chapter. Then, in a second stage, we introduce topologies on the so-called assaying subspaces \(\{V_r \}\). Indeed, as already mentioned in Section I.2, assuming the partial inner product to be nondegenerate implies tha…

Envelopes of open sets and extending holomorphic functions on dual Banach spaces

2010

We investigate certain envelopes of open sets in dual Banach spaces which are related to extending holomorphic functions. We give a variety of examples of absolutely convex sets showing that the extension is in many cases not possible. We also establish connections to the study of iterated weak* sequential closures of convex sets in the dual of separable spaces.

General Theory: Topological Aspects

2009

In Chapter 1, we have analyzed the structure of pip-spaces from the algebraic point of view only, (i.e., the compatibility relation). Here we will discuss primarily the topological structure given by the partial inner product itself. The aim is to tighten the definitions so as to eliminate as many pathologies as possible. The picture that emerges is reassuringly simple: Only two types of pip-spaces seem sufficiently regular to have any practical use, namely lattices of Hilbert spaces (LHS) or Banach spaces (LBS), that we have introduced briefly in the Introduction. Our standard reference on locally convex topological vector spaces (LCS) will be the textbook of Kothe [Kot69]. In addition, fo…
