    Spectral Multipliers on 2-Step Stratified Groups, II

    Given a graded group G and commuting, formally self-adjoint, left-invariant, homogeneous differential operators L_1,..., L_n on G, one of which is Rockland, we study the convolution operators m(L_1,..., L_n) and their convolution kernels, with particular reference to the case in which G is abelian and n=1, and the case in which G is a 2-step stratified group which satisfies a slight strengthening of the Moore-Wolf condition and L_1,..., L_n are either sub-Laplacians or central elements of the Lie algebra of G. Under suitable conditions, we prove that: i) if the convolution kernel of the operator m(L_1,..., L_n) belongs to L^1, then m equals almost everywhere a continuous function vanishing at infinity (`Riemann-Lebesgue lemma'); ii) if the convolution kernel of the operator m(L_1,..., L_n) is a Schwartz function, then m equals almost everywhere a Schwartz function

    Weighted sub-Laplacians on M\'etivier Groups: Essential Self-Adjointness and Spectrum

    Get PDF
    Let GG be a M\'etivier group and let NN be any homogeneous norm on GG. For α>0\alpha>0 denote by wαw_\alpha the function eNαe^{-N^\alpha} and consider the weighted sub-Laplacian Lwα\mathcal{L}^{w_\alpha} associated with the Dirichlet form ϕGHϕ(y)2wα(y)dy\phi \mapsto \int_{G} |\nabla_\mathcal{H}\phi(y)|^2 w_\alpha(y)\, dy, where H\nabla_\mathcal{H} is the horizontal gradient on GG. Consider Lwα\mathcal{L}^{w_\alpha} with domain CcC_c^\infty. We prove that Lwα\mathcal{L}^{w_\alpha} is essentially self-adjoint when α1\alpha \geq 1. For a particular NN, which is the norm appearing in L\mathcal{L}'s fundamental solution when GG is an H-type group, we prove that Lwα\mathcal{L}^{w_\alpha} has purely discrete spectrum if and only if α>2\alpha>2, thus proving a conjecture of J. Inglis.Comment: 15 pages; to appear on Proc. Amer. Math. So

    Asymptotics for the Heat Kernel on H-Type Groups

    Get PDF
    We give sharp asymptotic estimates at infinity of all radial partial derivatives of the heat kernel on H-type groups. As an application, we give a new proof of the discreteness of the spectrum of some natural sub-Riemannian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators on these groups.Comment: 29 pages; submitte

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Presi degli operatori differenziali omogenei, formalmente autoaggiunti, congiuntamente ipoellittici ed invarianti a sinistra L_1,..., L_n su un gruppo omogeneo G, si considera la trasformata nucleo K ad essi associata. Si studiano, nel contesto dei gruppi abeliani e dei gruppi di Heisenberg, le proprietà: (RL) se K(m) è integrabile, allora m è continua; (S) se K(m) è di Schwartz, allora m è di Schwartz

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    A distributional approach to fractional Sobolev spaces and fractional variation: asymptotics II

    Get PDF
    We continue the study of the space BVα(Rn)BV^\alpha(\mathbb R^n) of functions with bounded fractional variation in Rn\mathbb R^n and of the distributional fractional Sobolev space Sα,p(Rn)S^{\alpha,p}(\mathbb R^n), with p[1,+]p\in [1,+\infty] and α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), considered in the previous works arXiv:1809.08575 and arXiv:1910.13419. We first define the space BV0(Rn)BV^0(\mathbb R^n) and establish the identifications BV0(Rn)=H1(Rn)BV^0(\mathbb R^n)=H^1(\mathbb R^n) and Sα,p(Rn)=Lα,p(Rn)S^{\alpha,p}(\mathbb R^n)=L^{\alpha,p}(\mathbb R^n), where H1(Rn)H^1(\mathbb R^n) and Lα,p(Rn)L^{\alpha,p}(\mathbb R^n) are the (real) Hardy space and the Bessel potential space, respectively. We then prove that the fractional gradient α\nabla^\alpha strongly converges to the Riesz transform as α0+\alpha\to0^+ for H1Wα,1H^1\cap W^{\alpha,1} and Sα,pS^{\alpha,p} functions. We also study the convergence of the L1L^1-norm of the α\alpha-rescaled fractional gradient of Wα,1W^{\alpha,1} functions. To achieve the strong limiting behavior of α\nabla^\alpha as α0+\alpha\to0^+, we prove some new fractional interpolation inequalities which are stable with respect to the interpolating parameter.Comment: 43 page

    A Note on Hardy Spaces on Quadratic CR Manifolds

    Given a quadratic CR manifold M\mathcal{M} embedded in a complex space, and a holomorphic function ff on a tubular neighbourhood of M\mathcal{M}, we show that the LpL^p-norms of the restriction of ff to the translates of M\mathcal{M} is decreasing for the ordering induced by the closed convex envelope of the image of the Levi form of M\mathcal{M}.Comment: 6 pages, no figure
