Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Homogeneous Operators'

In recent years, the use of Peter-Weyl theory (the theory of Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups) to define so-called 'global symbols' of operators on compact Lie groups has emerged as a fruitful technique to study pseudo-differential operators. The aim of this thesis is to discuss similar techniques in the setting of compact homogeneous spaces. The approach is to relate operators on homogeneous spaces to those on compact Lie groups, and then to utilize the recently developed techniques on such groups. Two methods of associating operators on homogeneous spaces with those on compact Lie groups, called projective and horizontal lifting, along with their properties, merits and problems are considered. A key tool used in this analysis is the notion of a difference operator. This thesis includes a detailed study of such operators and their properties, combined with comprehensive calculations involving such operators on the homogeneous spaces $\Sbb^{n-1} = \SO(n)/\SO(n-1)$. This thesis concludes with a generalization of the symbolic calculus on compact Lie groups developed by M. Ruzhansky and V. Turunen together with a collection of conjectures, which if proven would relate the generalization to pseudo-differential theory on homogeneous spaces.

In this thesis, we study local Tb theorems for singular integral operators in the setting of spaces of homogeneous type. We give a direct proof of the local Tb theorem with L^2 integrability on the pseudo- accretive system. Our argument relies on the Beylkin-Coifman-Rokhlin algorithm applied in adapted Haar wavelet basis and some stopping time results. Motivated by questions of S. Hofmann, we extend it to the case when the integrability conditions are lower than 2, with an additional weak boundedness type hypothesis, which incorporates some Hardy type inequalities. We study the possibility of relaxing the support conditions on the pseudo-accretive system to a slight enlargement of the dyadic cubes. We also give a result in the case when, for practical reasons, hypotheses on the pseudo-accretive system are made on balls rather than dyadic cubes. Finally we study the particular case of perfect dyadic operators for which the proof gets much simpler. Our argument gives us the opportunity to study Hardy type inequalities. The latter are well known in the Euclidean setting, but seem to have been overlooked in spaces of homogeneous type. We prove that they hold without restriction in the dyadic setting. In the more general case of a ball B and its corona 2B\B, they can be obtained from some geometric conditions relative to the distribution of points in the homogeneous space. For example, we prove that some relative layer decay property suffices. We also prove that this property is implied by the monotone geodesic property of Tessera. Finally, we give some explicit examples and counterexamples in the complex plane to illustrate the relationship between the geometry of the homogeneous space and the validity of the Hardy type inequalities.

Let $\overline{R}$ be a finitely bordered Riemann surface, and let $\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R})$ be a flat matrix $PU_n(\mathbb{C})$-bundle over $\overline{R}$. Let $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ denote the $C^*$-algebra of continuous cross-sections of $\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R})$, and let $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ denote the subalgebra consisting of the continuous holomorphic sections, i.e.~the continuous cross-sections that are holomorphic on the interior of $\overline{R}$. The algebra $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is an example of an $n$-homogeneous $C^*$-algebra, and the subalgebra $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is the principal object of study of this thesis. The algebras $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ appeared in the earlier works \cite{Abrahamse1976} and \cite{Blecher2000}. Operators that can be viewed as elements in $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ are the subject of \cite{Abrahamse1976}. The Morita theory of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$, under the guise of a fixed-point algebra and in the special case of an annulus $R$, is studied in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000}. This thesis studies these algebras and their topological data $\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R})$ motivated by several problems in the theory of nonselfadjoint operator algebras. Boundary representations are an invariant of operator algebras that were introduced by Arveson in 1969. However, it took nearly 50 years to show that boundary representations existed in sufficient abundance in all cases. I show that every boundary representation of $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ for $\Gamma_h(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is given by evaluation at some point $r \in \partial R$. As a corollary, the $C^*$-envelope of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is $\Gamma_c(\partial R, \mathfrak{E}(\partial R))$. Using the $C^*$-envelope, I show that for certain choices of fibre and base space, $\Gamma_h(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ is not completely isometrically isomorphic to $A(\overline{R})\otimes M_n(\mathbb{C})$ unless the representation $\rho$ is the trivial representation. I also show that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is an Azumaya over its center. Azumaya algebras are the ``pure-algebra'' analogues to $n$-homogeneous $C^*$-algebras \cite{Artin1969}. Thus the structure of the nonselfadjoint subalgebra $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ reflects some of the structure of its $C^*$-envelope (which is $n$-homogeneous). Finally, I answer a question raised in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000} on the $cb$ and strong Morita theory of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$, showing in particular that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ is $cb$ Morita equivalent to its center $A(\overline{R})$. As suggested in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000}, I provide additional evidence that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ may not be strongly Morita equivalent to its center. This evidence, in turn, suggests that there may be a Brauer group -like analysis for these algebras.

Nowadays, the concept of homogeneity is one of the fundamental notions in geometry although its meaning must be always specified for the concrete situations. In this thesis, we consider the homogeneity of Riemannian manifolds and the homogeneity of manifolds equipped with affine connections. The first kind of homogeneity means that, for every smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g), its group of isometries I(M) is acting transitively on M. Part I of this thesis fits into this philosophy. Afterwards in Part II, we treat the homogeneity concept of affine connections. This homogeneity means that, for every two points of a manifold, there is an affine diffeomorphism which sends one point into another. In particular, we consider a local version of the homogeneity, that is, we accept that the affine diffeomorphisms are given only locally, i.e., from a neighborhood onto a neighborhood. More specifically, we devote the first Chapter of Part I to make a brief overview of some special kinds of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds which will be of special relevance in Part I and to show how the software MATHEMATICA© becomes useful. For that, we prove that "the three-parameter families of flag manifolds constructed by N. R. Wallach in "Compact homogeneous Riemannian manifols with strictly positive curvature, Ann. of Math. 96 (1972), p. 276-293" are D'Atri spaces if and only if they are naturally reductive spaces. Thus, we improve the previous results given by D'Atri, Nickerson and by Arias-Marco, Naveira.Moreover, in Chapter 2 we obtain the complete 4-dimensional classification of homogeneous spaces of type A. This allows us to prove correctly that every 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri space is naturally reductive. Therefore, we correct, complete and improve the results presented by Podestà, Spiro, Bueken and Vanhecke. Chapter 3 is devoted to prove that the curvature operator has constant osculating rank over g.o. spaces. It is mean that a real number 'r' exists such that under some assumptions, the higher order derivatives of the curvature operator from 1 to r are linear independent and from 1 to r + 1 are linear dependent. As a consequence, we also present a method valid on every g.o. space to solve the Jacobi equation. This method extends the method given by Naveira and Tarrío for naturally reductive spaces. In particular, we prove that the Jacobi operator on Kaplan's example (the first known g.o. space that it is not naturally reductive) has constant osculating rank 4. Moreover, we solve the Jacobi equation along a geodesic on Kaplan's example using the new method and the well-known method used by Chavel, Ziller and Berndt,Tricerri, Vanhecke. Therefore, we are able to present the main differences between both methods.In Part II, we classify (locally) all locally homogeneous affine connections with arbitrary torsion on two-dimensional manifolds. Therefore, we generalize the result given by Opozda for torsion-less case. Moreover, from our computations we obtain interesting consequences as the relation between the classifications given for the torsion less-case by Kowalski, Opozda and Vlá ek. In addition, we obtain interesting consequences about flat connections with torsion.In general, the study of these problems sometimes requires a big number of straightforward symbolic computations. In such cases, it is a quite difficult task and a lot of time consuming, try to make correctly this kind of computations by hand. Thus, we try to organize our computations in (possibly) most systematic way so that the whole procedure is not excessively long. Also, because these topics are an ideal subject for a computer-aided research, we are using the software MATHEMATICA©, throughout this work. But we put stress on the full transparency of this procedure.<br>En esta tesis, se consideran dos tipos bien diferenciados de homogeneidad: la de las variedades riemannianas y la de las variedades afines. El primer tipo de homogeneidad se define como aquel que tiene la propiedad de que el grupo de isometrías actúa transitivamente sobre la variedad. La Parte I, recoge todos los resultados que hemos obtenido en esta dirección. Sin embargo, en la Parte II se presentan los resultados obtenidos sobre conexiones afines homogéneas. Una conexión afín se dice homogénea si para cada par de puntos de la variedad existe un difeomorfismo afín que envía un punto en otro. En este caso, se considera una versión local de homogeneidad. Más específicamente, la Parte I de esta tesis está dedicada a probar que "las familias 3-paramétricas de variedades bandera construidas por Wallach son espacios de D'Atri si y sólo si son espacios naturalmente reductivos". Más aún, en el segundo Capítulo, se obtiene la clasificación completa de los espacios homogéneos de tipo A cuatro dimensionales que permite probar correctamente que todo espacio de D'Atri homogéneo de dimensión cuatro es naturalmente reductivo.Finalmente, en el tercer Capítulo se prueba que en cualquier g.o. espacio el operador curvatura tiene rango osculador constante y, como consecuencia, se presenta un método para resolver la ecuación de Jacobi sobre cualquier g.o. espacio. La Parte II se destina a clasificar (localmente) todas las conexiones afines localmente homogéneas con torsión arbitraria sobre variedades 2-dimensionales. Para finalizar el cuarto Capítulo, se prueban algunos resultados interesantes sobre conexiones llanas con torsión.En general, el estudio de estos problemas requiere a veces, un gran número de cálculos simbólicos aunque sencillos. En dichas ocasiones, realizarlos correctamente a mano es una tarea ardua que requiere mucho tiempo. Por ello, se intenta organizar todos estos cálculos de la manera más sistemática posible de forma que el procedimiento no resulte excesivamente largo. Este tipo de investigación es ideal para utilizar la ayuda del ordenador; así, cuando resulta conveniente, utilizamos la ayuda del software MATHEMATICA para desarrollar con total transparencia el método de resolución que más se adecua a cada uno de los problemas a resolver.

<p>This thesis consists of two papers on the spectral geometry of locally symmetric spaces of Riemannian and Lorentzian signature. Both works are concerned with the idea of relating analysis on such spaces to structures on their boundaries.</p><p>The first paper is motivated by a conjecture of Patterson on the Selberg zeta function of Kleinian groups. We consider geometrically finite hyperbolic cylinders with non-compact Riemann surfaces of finite area as cross sections. For these cylinders, we present a detailed investigation of the Bunke-Olbrich extension operator under the assumption that the cross section of the cylinder has one cusp. We establish the meromorphic continuation of the extension of Eisenstein series and incomplete theta series through the limit set. Furthermore, we derive explicit formulas for the residues of the extension operator in terms of boundary values of automorphic eigenfunctions.</p><p>The motivation for the second paper comes from conformal geometry in Lorentzian signature. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a sequence of differential intertwining operators for spherical principal series representations, which are realized on boundaries of anti de Sitter spaces. Algebraically, these operators correspond to homomorphisms of generalized Verma modules. We relate these families to the asymptotics of eigenfunctions on anti de Sitter spaces.</p>

In the thesis we discuss binary hyperstructures of linear differential operators of the second order both in general and (inspired by models of specific time processes) in a special case of the Jacobi form. We also study binary hyperstructures constructed from distributive lattices and suggest transfer of this construction to n-ary hyperstructures. We use these hyperstructures to construct multiautomata and quasi-multiautomata. The input sets of all these automata structures are constructed so that the transfer of information for certain specific modeling time functions is facilitated. For this reason we use smooth positive functions or vectors components of which are real numbers or smooth positive functions. The above hyperstructures are state-sets of these automata structures. Finally, we investigate various types of compositions of the above multiautomata and quasi-multiautomata. In order to this we have to generalize the classical definitions of Dörfler. While some of the concepts can be transferred to the hyperstructure context rather easily, in the case of Cartesian composition the attempt to generalize it leads to some interesting results.

Abstract The aim of this thesis is to devise new paradigms on radio resource sharing including cache-enabled virtualized large cellular networks for mobile network operators (MNOs). Also, self-organizing resource allocation for small cell networks is considered. In such networks, the MNOs rent radio resources from the infrastructure provider (InP) to support their subscribers. In order to reduce the operational costs, while at the same time to significantly increase the usage of the existing network resources, it leads to a paradigm where the MNOs share their infrastructure, i.e., base stations (BSs), antennas, spectrum and edge cache among themselves. In this regard, we integrate the theoretical insights provided by stochastic geometrical approaches to model the spectrum and infrastructure sharing for large cellular networks. In the first part of the thesis, we study the non-orthogonal multi-MNO spectrum allocation problem for small cell networks with the goal of maximizing the overall network throughput, defined as the expected weighted sum rate of the MNOs. Each MNO is assumed to serve multiple small cell BSs (SBSs). We adopt the many-to-one stable matching game framework to tackle this problem. We also investigate the role of power allocation schemes for SBSs using Q-learning. In the second part, we model and analyze the infrastructure sharing system considering a single buyer MNO and multiple seller MNOs. The MNOs are assumed to operate over their own licensed spectrum bands while sharing BSs. We assume that multiple seller MNOs compete with each other to sell their infrastructure to a potential buyer MNO. The optimal strategy for the seller MNOs in terms of the fraction of infrastructure to be shared and the price of the infrastructure, is obtained by computing the equilibrium of a Cournot-Nash oligopoly game. Finally, we develop a game-theoretic framework to model and analyze a cache-enabled virtualized cellular networks where the network infrastructure, e.g., BSs and cache storage, owned by an InP, is rented and shared among multiple MNOs. We formulate a Stackelberg game model with the InP as the leader and the MNOs as the followers. The InP tries to maximize its profit by optimizing its infrastructure rental fee. The MNO aims to minimize the cost of infrastructure by minimizing the cache intensity under probabilistic delay constraint of the user (UE). Since the MNOs share their rented infrastructure, we apply a cooperative game concept, namely, the Shapley value, to divide the cost among the MNOs<br>Tiivistelmä Tämän väitöskirjan tavoitteena on tuottaa uusia paradigmoja radioresurssien jakoon, mukaan lukien virtualisoidut välimuisti-kykenevät suuret matkapuhelinverkot matkapuhelinoperaattoreille. Näiden kaltaisissa verkoissa operaattorit vuokraavat radioresursseja infrastruktuuritoimittajalta (InP, infrastructure provider) asiakkaiden tarpeisiin. Toimintakulujen karsiminen ja samanaikainen olemassa olevien verkkoresurssien hyötykäytön huomattava kasvattaminen johtaa paradigmaan, jossa operaattorit jakavat infrastruktuurinsa keskenään. Tämän vuoksi työssä tutkitaan teoreettisia stokastiseen geometriaan perustuvia malleja spektrin ja infrastruktuurin jakamiseksi suurissa soluverkoissa. Työn ensimmäisessä osassa tutkitaan ei-ortogonaalista monioperaattori-allokaatioongelmaa pienissä soluverkoissa tavoitteena maksimoida verkon yleistä läpisyöttöä, joka määritellään operaattoreiden painotettuna summaläpisyötön odotusarvona. Jokaisen operaattorin oletetaan palvelevan useampaa piensolutukiasemaa (SBS, small cell base station). Työssä käytetään monelta yhdelle -vakaata sovituspeli-viitekehystä SBS:lle käyttäen Q-oppimista. Työn toisessa osassa mallinnetaan ja analysoidaan infrastruktuurin jakamista yhden ostaja-operaattorin ja monen myyjä-operaattorin tapauksessa. Operaattorien oletetaan toimivan omilla lisensoiduilla taajuuksillaan jakaen tukiasemat keskenään. Myyjän optimaalinen strategia infrastruktuurin myytävän osan suuruuden ja hinnan suhteen saavutetaan laskemalla Cournot-Nash -olipologipelin tasapainotila. Lopuksi, työssä kehitetään peli-teoreettinen viitekehys virtualisoitujen välimuistikykenevien soluverkkojen mallintamiseen ja analysointiin, missä InP:n omistama verkkoinfrastruktuuri vuokrataan ja jaetaan monen operaattorin kesken. Työssä muodostetaan Stackelberg-pelimalli, jossa InP toimii johtajana ja operaattorit seuraajina. InP pyrkii maksimoimaan voittonsa optimoimalla infrastruktuurin vuokrahintaa. Operaattori pyrkii minimoimaan infrastruktuurin hinnan minimoimalla välimuistin tiheyttä satunnaisen käyttäjän viive-ehtojen mukaisesti. Koska operaattorit jakavat vuokratun infrastruktuurin, työssä käytetään yhteistyöpeli-ajatusta, nimellisesti, Shapleyn arvoa, jakamaan kustannuksia operaatoreiden kesken

The present thesis is devoted to the study both of strictly hyperbolic operators with low regularity coefficients and of the density-dependent incompressible Euler system. On the one hand, we show a priori estimates for a second order strictly hyperbolic operator whose highest order coefficients satisfy a log-Zygmund continuity condition in time and a log-Lipschitz continuity condition with respect to space. Such an estimate involves a time increasing loss of derivatives...

Recall that a Banach space X has the Dunford-Pettis property if every weakly compact operator defined on X takes weakly compact sets into norm compact sets. Some valuable characterisations of Banach spaces with the Dunford-Pettis property are: X has the DPP if and only if for all Banach spaces Y, every weakly compact operator from X to Y sends weakly convergent sequences onto norm convergent sequences (i.e. it requires that weakly compact operators on X are completely continuous) and this is equivalent to “if (xn) and (x*n) are sequences in X and X* respectively and limn xn = 0 weakly and limn x*n = 0 weakly then limn x*n xn = 0". A striking application of the Dunford-Pettis property (as was observed by Grothendieck) is to prove that if X is a linear subspace of L() for some finite measure  and X is closed in some Lp() for 1 ≤ p < , then X is finite dimensional. The fact that the well known spaces L1() and C() have this property (as was proved by Dunford and Pettis) was a remarkable achievement in the early history of Banach spaces and was motivated by the study of integral equations and the hope to develop an understanding of linear operators on Lp() for p ≥ 1. In fact, it played an important role in proving that for each weakly compact operator T : L1()  L1() or T : C()  C(), the operator T2 is compact, a fact which is important from the point of view that there is a nice spectral theory for compact operators and operators whose squares are compact. There is an extensive literature involving the Dunford-Pettis property. Almost all the articles and books in our list of references contain some information about this property, but there are plenty more that could have been listed. The reader is for instance referred to [4], [5], [7], [8], [10], [17] and [24] for information on the role of the DPP in different areas of Banach space theory. In this dissertation, however, we are motivated by the two papers [7] and [8] to study alternative Dunford-Pettis properties, to introduce a scale of (new) alternative Dunford-Pettis properties, which we call DP*-properties of order p (briefly denoted by DP*P), and to consider characterisations of Banach spaces with these properties as well as applications thereof to polynomials and holomorphic functions on Banach spaces. In the paper [8] the class Cp(X, Y) of p-convergent operators from a Banach space X to a Banach space Y is introduced. Replacing the requirement that weakly compact operators on X should be completely continuous in the case of the DPP for X (as is mentioned above) by “weakly compact operators on X should be p-convergent", an alternative Dunford-Pettis property (called the Dunford-Pettis property of order p) is introduced. More precisely, if 1 ≤ p ≤ , a Banach space X is said to have DPPp if the inclusion W(X, Y)  Cp(X, Y) holds for all Banach spaces Y . Here W(X, Y) denotes the family of all weakly compact operators from X to Y. We now have a scale of “Dunford-Pettis like properties" in the sense that all Banach spaces have the DPP1, if p < q, then each Banach space with the DPPq also has the DPPp and the strongest property, namely the DPP1 coincides with the DPP. In the paper [7] the authors study a property on Banach spaces (called the DP*-property, or briey the DP*P) which is stronger than the DPP, in the sense that if a Banach space has this property then it also has DPP. We say X has the DP*P, when all weakly compact sets in X are limited, i.e. each sequence (x*n)  X * in the dual space of X which converges weak* to 0, also converges uniformly (to 0) on all weakly compact sets in X. It turns out that this property is equivalent to another property on Banach spaces which is introduced in [17] (and which is called the *-Dunford-Pettis property) as follows: We say a Banach space X has the *-Dunford-Pettis property if for all weakly null sequences (xn) in X and all weak* null sequences (x*n) in X*, we have x*n(xn) n 0. After a thorough study of the DP*P, including characterisations and examples of Banach spaces with the DP*P, the authors in [7] consider some applications to polynomials and analytic functions on Banach spaces. Following an extensive literature study and in depth research into the techniques of proof relevant to this research field, we are able to present a thorough discussion of the results in [7] and [8] as well as some selected (relevant) results from other papers (for instance, [2] and [17]). This we do in Chapter 2 of the dissertation. The starting point (in Section 2.1 of Chapter 2) is the introduction of the so called p-convergent operators, being those bounded linear operators T : X  Y which transform weakly p-summable sequences into norm-null sequences, as well as the so called weakly p-convergent sequences in Banach spaces, being those sequences (xn) in a Banach space X for which there exists an x  X such that the sequence (xn - x) is weakly p-summable. Using these concepts, we state and prove an important characterisation (from the paper [8]) of Banach spaces with DPPp. In Section 2.2 (of Chapter 2) we continue to report on the results of the paper [7], where the DP*P on Banach spaces is introduced. We focus on the characterisation of Banach spaces with DP*P, obtaining among others that a Banach space X has DP*P if and only if for all weakly null sequences (xn) in X and all weak* null sequences (x*n) in X*, we have x*n(xn) n 0. An important characterisation of the DP*P considered in this section is the fact that X has DP*P if and only if every T  L(X, c0) is completely continuous. This result proves to be of fundamental importance in the study of the DP*P and its application to results on polynomials and holomorphic functions on Banach spaces. To be able to report on the applications of the DP*P in the context of homogeneous polynomials and analytic functions on Banach spaces, we embark on a study of “Complex Analysis in Banach spaces" (mostly with the focus on homogeneous polynomials and analytic functions on Banach spaces). This we do in Chapter 3; the content of the chapter is mostly based on work in the books [23] and [14], but also on the work in some articles such as [15]. After we have discussed the relevant theory of complex analysis in Banach spaces in Chapter 3, we devote Chapter 4 to considering properties of polynomials and analytic functions on Banach spaces with DP*P. The discussion in Chapter 4 is based on the applications of DP*P in the paper [7]. Finally, in Chapter 5 of the dissertation, we contribute to the study of “Dunford-Pettis like properties" by introducing the Banach space property “DP*P of order p", or briefly the DP*Pp for Banach spaces. Using the concept “weakly p-convergent sequence in Banach spaces" as is defined in [8], we define weakly-p-compact sets in Banach spaces. Then a Banach space X is said to have the DP*-property of order p (for 1 ≤ p ≤ ) if all weakly-p-compact sets in X are limited. In short, we say X has DP*Pp. As in [8] (where the DPPp is introduced), we now have a scale of DP*P-like properties, in the sense that all Banach spaces have DP*P1 and if p < q and X has DP*Pq then it has DP*Pp. The strongest property DP*P coincides with DP*P. We prove characterisations of Banach spaces with DP*Pp, discuss some examples and then consider applications to polynomials and analytic functions on Banach spaces. Our results and techniques in this chapter depend very much on the results obtained in the previous three chapters, but now we have to find our own correct definitions and formulations of results within this new context. We do this with some success in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of Chapter 5. Chapter 1 of this dissertation provides a wide range of concepts and results in Banach spaces and the theory of vector sequence spaces (some of them very deep results from books listed in the bibliography). These results are mostly well known, but they are scattered in the literature - they are discussed in Chapter 1 (some with proof, others without proof, depending on the importance of the arguments in the proofs for later use and depending on the detail with which the results are discussed elsewhere in the literature) with the intention to provide an exposition which is mostly self contained and which will be comfortably accessible for graduate students. The dissertation reflects the outcome of our investigation in which we set ourselves the following goals: 1. Obtain a thorough understanding of the Dunford-Pettis property and some related (both weaker and stronger) properties that have been studied in the literature. 2. Focusing on the work in the paper [8], understand the role played in the study of difierent classes of operators by a scale of properties on Banach spaces, called the DPPp, which are weaker than the DP-property and which are introduced in [8] by using the weakly p-summable sequences in X and weakly null sequences in X*. 3. Focusing on the work in the paper [7], investigate the DP*P for Banach spaces, which is the exact property to answer a question of Pelczynsky's regarding when every symmetric bilinear separately compact map X x X  c0 is completely continuous. 4. Based on the ideas intertwined in the work of the paper [8] in the study of a scale of DP-properties and the work in the paper [7], introduce the DP*Pp on Banach spaces and investigate their applications to spaces of operators and in the theory of polynomials and analytic mappings on Banach spaces. Thereby, not only extending the results in [7] to a larger family of Banach spaces, but also to find an answer to the question: “When will every symmetric bilinear separately compact map X x X  c0 be p-convergent?"<br>Thesis (M.Sc.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The main purpose of this dissertation is the study of ideals of multilinear mappings and homogeneous polynomials between linear spaces. By an ideal we mean a class that is stable under the composition with linear operators. First we study multilinear mappings and spaces of multilinear mappings. We also show how to obtain, from a given multilinear mapping, other multilinear mappings with degrees of multilinearity greater than, equal to or smaller than the degree of the original multilinear mapping. Next we study homogeneous polynomials and spaces of homogeneous polynomials, and we also show how to obtain, from a given n-homogeneous polynomial, other polynomials with degrees of homogeneity greater than, equal to or smaller than the degree of the original polynomial. Next we study ideals of multilinear mappings, or multi-ideals, and ideals of homogeneous polynomial, or polynomial ideals, giving several examples and presenting methods to generated multi-ideals and polynomial ideals from a given operator ideal. Finally we dene and give several examples of coherent multi-ideals and coherent polynomial ideals.<br>O principal objetivo desta dissertação e estudar os ideais de aplicações multilineares e polinômios homogêneos entre espaços vetoriais.

A bounded operator T on a complex separable Hilbert space is said to be homogeneous if '(T ) is unitarily equivalent to T for all ' in M•ob, where M•ob is the M•obius group. A complete description of all homogeneous weighted shifts was obtained by Bagchi and Misra. The first examples of irreducible bi-lateral homogeneous 2-shifts were given by Koranyi. We describe all irreducible homogeneous 2-shifts up to unitary equivalence completing the list of homogeneous 2-shifts of Koranyi. After completing the list of all irreducible homogeneous 2-shifts, we show that every homogeneous operator whose associated representation is a direct sum of three copies of a Complementary series representation, is reducible. Moreover, we show that such an operator is either a direct sum of three bi-lateral weighted shifts, each of which is a homogeneous operator or a direct sum of a homogeneous bi-lateral weighted shift and an irreducible bi-lateral 2-shift. It is known that the characteristic function T of a homogeneous contraction T with an associated representation is of the form T (a) = L( a) T (0) R( a); where L and R are projective representations of the M•obius group M•ob with a common multiplier. We give another proof of the \product formula". We point out that the defect operators of a homogeneous contraction in B2(D) are not always quasi-invertible (recall that an operator T is said to be quasi-invertible if T is injective and ran(T ) is dense). We prove that when the defect operators of a homogeneous contraction in B2(D) are not quasi-invertible, the projective representations L and R are unitarily equivalent to the holomorphic Discrete series representations D+ 1 and D++3, respectively. Also, we prove that, when the defect operators of a homogeneous contraction in B2(D) are quasi-invertible, the two representations L and R are unitarily equivalent to certain known pairs of representations D 1; 2 and D +1; 1 ; respectively. These are described explicitly. Let G be either (i) the direct product of n-copies of the bi-holomorphic automorphism group of the disc or (ii) the bi-holomorphic automorphism group of the polydisc Dn: A commuting tuple of bounded operators T = (T1; T2; : : : ; Tn) is said to be homogeneous with respect to G if the joint spectrum of T lies in Dn and '(T); defined using the usual functional calculus, is unitarily equivalent to T for all ' 2 G: We show that a commuting tuple T in the Cowen-Douglas class of rank 1 is homogeneous with respect to G if and only if it is unitarily equivalent to the tuple of the multiplication operators on either the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with reproducing kernel n 1 i=1 (1 ziwi) i or Q n i i n; are positive real numbers, according asQG is as in (i) or 1 ; where ; i, 1 i i=1 (1 z w ) (ii).

Let $\boldsymbol T=(T_1, \ldots , T_d)$ be a $d$- tuple of commuting operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. Assume that $\boldsymbol T$ is hyponormal, that is, $\big [\!\!\big [ \boldsymbol T^*, \boldsymbol T \big ]\!\! \big ]:=\big (\!\!\big ( \big [ T_j^*,T_i] \big )\!\!\big )$ acting on the $d$ - fold direct sum of the Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is non-negative definite. The commutator $[T_j^*,T_i]$, $1\leq i,j \leq d$, of a finitely ctyclic and hyponormal $d$ - tuple is not necessarily compact and therefore the question of finding trace inequalities for such a $d$- tuple does not arise. A generalization of the Berger-Shaw theorem for a commuting tuple $\boldsymbol T$ of hyponormal operators was obtained by Douglas and Yan decades ago. We discuss several examples of this generalization in an attempt to understand if the crucial hypothesis in their theorem requiring the Krull dimension of the Hilbert module over the polynomial ring defined by the map $p\to p(\boldsymbol T)$, $p\in \mathbb C[\boldsymbol z]$, is optimal or not. Indeed, we find examples $\boldsymbol T$ to show that there is a large class of operators for which $\text{trace}\,[T_j^*,T_i]$, $1\leq j,i \leq d$, is finite but the $d$ - tuple is not finitely polynomially cyclic, which is one of the hypotheses of the Douglas-Yan theorem. We also introduce the weaker notion of ``projectively hyponormal operators" and show that the Douglas-Yan thorem remains valid even under this weaker hypothesis. We introduce the determinant operator $\text{dEt}\,(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\! \big ]\big) $, which coincides with the generalized commutator introduced by Helton and Howe earlier. We identify a class $BS_{m, \vartheta}(\Omega)$ consisting of commuting $d$- tuples of hyponormal operators $\boldsymbol T$, $\sigma(\boldsymbol T) = \overbar{\Omega}$, satisfying a growth condition for which the dEt is a non-negative definite operator. We then obtain the trace estimate given in the Theorem below. \begin{thmAbs} Let $\boldsymbol{T}=(T_1,\ldots, T_d)$ be a commuting tuple of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ such that $\boldsymbol{T}$ is in the class $BS_{m, \vartheta}(\Omega)$. Then the determinant operator $\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\! \big ]\big)$ is in trace-class and \[\text{trace}\,\big (\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\!\big]\big)\big )\leq m\, \vartheta \,d!\prod_{i=1}^{d}\|T_i\|^2.\] \end{thmAbs} In the case of a commuting $d$ - tuple $\boldsymbol T$ of operators, where $\sigma(\boldsymbol T)$ is of the form $\overbar{\Omega}_1 \times \cdots \times \overbar{\Omega}_d$, we obtain a slightly different but a related estimate for the trace of $\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\!\big]\big)\big )$. Explicit computation of $\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\!\big ]\big)$ in several examples and based on some numerical evidence, we make the following conjecture refining the estimate from the Theorem: \begin{conjAbs} Let $\boldsymbol{T}=(T_1,\ldots, T_d)$ be a commuting tuple of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ such that $\boldsymbol{T}$ is in the class $BS_{m, \vartheta}(\Omega)$. Then the determinant operator $\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\!\big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\! \big ]\big)$ is in trace-class, and \[\text{\rm trace}\,\big (\text{dEt}\,\big(\big[\!\! \big [\boldsymbol{T}^*, \boldsymbol{T}\big ]\!\!\big ]\big) \big )\leq \frac{m d!}{\pi^d} \nu(\overline{\Omega}), \] where $\nu$ is the Lebesgue measure. \end{conjAbs} Let $\Omega$ be an irreducible classical bounded symmetric domain of rank $r$ in $\mathbb C^d.$ Let $\mathbb K$ be the maximal compact subgroup of the identity component $G$ of the biholomorphic automorphism group of the domain $\Omega$. The group $\mathbb K$ consisting of linear transformations acts naturally on any $d$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ of commuting bounded linear operators by the rule: \[k\cdot\boldsymbol{T}:=\big(k_1(T_1, \ldots, T_d), \ldots, k_d(T_1, \ldots, T_d)\big),\,\,k\in \mathbb K, \] where $k_1(\boldsymbol z), \ldots, k_d(\boldsymbol z)$ are linear polynomials. If the orbit of this action modulo unitary equivalence is a singleton, then we say that $\boldsymbol T$ is $\mathbb{K}$-homogeneous. We realize a certain class of $\mathbb{K}$-homogeneous $d$-tuples $\boldsymbol{T}$ as a $d$ -tuple of multiplication by the coordinate functions $z_1,\ldots ,z_d$ on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal H_K$. (The Hilbert space $\mathcal H_K$ consisting of holomorphic functions defined on $\Omega$ and $K$ is the reproducing kernel.) Using this model we obtain a criterion for (i) boundedness, (ii) membership in the Cowen-Douglas class, (iii) unitary equivalence and similarity of these $d$-tuples. In particular, we show that the adjoint of the $d$-tuple of multiplication by the coordinate functions on the weighted Bergman spaces are in the Cowen-Douglas class $B_1(\Omega)$. For an irreducible bounded symmetric domain $\Omega$ of rank $2$, an explicit description of the operator $\sum_{i=1}^d T_i^*T_i$ is given. Based on this formula, a conjecture giving the form of this operator in any rank $r \geq 1$ was made. This conjecture was recently verified by H. Upmeier.

In this report, after recalling the definition of the M¨obius group, we define homogeneous operators, that is, operators T with the property '(T) is unitarily equivalent to T for all ' in the M¨obius group and prove some properties of homogeneous operators. Following this, (i) we describe isometric operators which are homogeneous. (ii) we describe the homogeneous operators in the Cowen-Douglas class of rank 1. Finally, Multiplier representations which occur in the study of homogeneous operators are discussed. Following the proof of Kobayashi, the multiplier representations are shown to be irreducible.

Let ­½ Cm be a bounded domain and K :­£­!C be a sesqui-analytic function. We show that if ®,¯ È 0 be such that the functions K® and K¯, defined on ­£­, are non-negative definite kernels, then theMm(C) valued function K(®,¯)(z,w) :Æ K®Å¯(z,w) ³ ¡ @i¯@ j logK ¢ (z,w) ´m i , jÆ1 , z,w 2­, is also a non-negative definite kernel on ­£­. Then a realization of the Hilbert space (H,K(®,¯)) determined by the kernel K(®,¯) in terms of the tensor product (H,K®)­(H,K¯) is obtained. For two reproducing kernel Hilbert modules (H,K1) and (H,K2), let An, n ¸ 0, be the submodule of the Hilbert module (H,K1)­(H,K2) consisting of functions vanishing to order n on the diagonal set ¢ :Æ {(z, z) : z 2­}. Setting S0 ÆA? 0 , Sn ÆAn¡1ªAn, n ¸ 1, leads to a natural decomposition of (H,K1)­(H,K2) into infinite direct sum L1 nÆ0Sn. A theorem of Aronszajn shows that the module S0 is isomorphic to the push-forward of the module (H,K1K2) under the map ¶ : ­!­£­, where ¶(z) Æ (z, z), z 2 ­. We prove that if K1 Æ K® and K2 Æ K¯, then the module S1 is isomorphic to the push-forward of the module (H,K(®,¯)) under the map ¶. Let Möb denote the group of all biholomorphic automorphisms of the unit disc D. An operator T in B(H) is said to be weakly homogeneous if ¾(T ) µ ¯D and '(T ) is similar to T for each ' inMöb. For a sharp non-negative definite kernel K : D£D!Mk(C), we show that the multiplication operator Mz on (H,K) is weakly homogeneous if and only if for each ' in Möb, there exists a g' 2Hol(D,GLk(C)) such that the weighted composition operator Mg'C'¡1 is bounded and invertible on (H,K). We also obtain various examples and nonexamples of weakly homogeneous operators in the class FB2(D). Finally, it is shown that there exists a Möbius bounded weakly homogeneous operator which is not similar to any homogeneous operator. We also show that if K1 and K2 are two positive definite kernels on D£D such that the multiplication operators Mz on the corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are subnormal, then the multiplication operator Mz on the Hilbert space determined by the sum K1ÅK2 need not be subnormal. This settles a recent conjecture of Gregory T. Adams, Nathan S. Feldman and Paul J.McGuire in the negative.

In cite{Ho:g}, it is shown that the seemingly complicated task of constructing these matrices can be carried out alternatively in a systematical and relatively simple way by applying the theory of Hardy classes of operators through certain operator equation on ${cal B}({cal H})$ (space of bounded operators on $cal H$) induced by a shift. Our purpose here is to present explicit formula for the homogeneous solutions this equation.

abstract: Modern manufacturing systems are part of a complex supply chain where customer preferences are constantly evolving. The rapidly evolving market demands manufacturing organizations to be increasingly agile and flexible. Medium term capacity planning for manufacturing systems employ queueing network models based on stationary demand assumptions. However, these stationary demand assumptions are not very practical for rapidly evolving supply chains. Nonstationary demand processes provide a reasonable framework to capture the time-varying nature of modern markets. The analysis of queues and queueing networks with time-varying parameters is mathematically intractable. In this dissertation, heuristics which draw upon existing steady state queueing results are proposed to provide computationally efficient approximations for dynamic multi-product manufacturing systems modeled as time-varying queueing networks with multiple customer classes (product types). This dissertation addresses the problem of performance evaluation of such manufacturing systems. This dissertation considers the two key aspects of dynamic multi-product manufacturing systems - namely, performance evaluation and optimal server resource allocation. First, the performance evaluation of systems with infinite queueing room and a first-come first-serve service paradigm is considered. Second, systems with finite queueing room and priorities between product types are considered. Finally, the optimal server allocation problem is addressed in the context of dynamic multi-product manufacturing systems. The performance estimates developed in the earlier part of the dissertation are leveraged in a simulated annealing algorithm framework to obtain server resource allocations.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Doctoral Dissertation Industrial Engineering 2020
