An ODE’s Version of the Formula of Baker, Campbell, Dynkin and Hausdorff and the Construction of Lie Groups with Prescribed Lie Algebra

If ${\mathcal{L} = {\sum_{j=1}^m} {X_j^2} + X_0}If L = ?_j=1^m X_j² + X₀{\mathcal{L} = {\sum_{j=1}^m} {X_j^2} + X_0} is a H?rmander partial differential operator in \mathbbR^N{\mathbb{R}^N}, we give sufficient conditions on the vector fields X _j ’s for the existence of a Lie group structure \mathbbG = (\mathbbR^N, *){\mathbb{G} = (\mathbb{R}^N, *)} (and we exhibit its construction), not necessarily nilpotent nor homogeneous, such that L{\mathcal{L}} is left invariant on \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}}. The main tool is a formula of Baker-Campbell-Dynkin-Hausdorff type for the ODE’s naturally related to the system of vector fields {X ₀, . . . , X _m }. We provide a direct proof of this formula in the ODE’s context (which seems to be missing in literature), without invoking any result of Lie group theory, nor the abstract algebraic machinery usually involved in formulas of Baker-Campbell-Dynkin-Hausdorff type. Examples of operators to which our results apply are also furnished.     

On the mean convergence of Fourier–Jacobi series

The convergence of Fourier–Jacobi series in the spaces L _p,A,B is studied in the case where the Lebesgue constants are unbounded.     

On sharp estimates of the convergence of double Fourier–Bessel series

The problem of approximation of a differentiable function of two variables by partial sums of a double Fourier–Bessel series is considered. Sharp estimates of the rate of convergence of the double Fourier–Bessel series on the class of differentiable functions of two variables characterized by a generalized modulus of continuity are obtained. The proofs of four theorems on this issue, which can be directly applied to solving particular problems of mathematical physics, approximation theory, etc., are presented.     

On Hochschild–Serre spectral sequence of Lie algebras

Using non-abelian exterior product and free presentation of a Lie algebra the Hochschild–Serre spectral sequence for cohomology of Lie algebras will be extended a step further. Also, some results about this sequence are obtained.     

On triviality of the Kashiwara–Vergne problem for quadratic Lie algebras

We show that the Kashiwara–Vergne (KV) problem for quadratic Lie algebras (that is, Lie algebras admitting an invariant scalar product) reduces to the problem of representing the Campbell–Hausdorff series in the form $\ln (e^x{e}^y)=x+y+[x,a(x,y)]+[y,b(x,y)]$, where $a(x,y)$ and $b(x,y)$ are Lie series in x and y. This observation explains the existence of explicit rational solutions of the quadratic KV problem, whereas constructing an explicit rational solution of the full KV problem would probably require the knowledge of a rational Drinfeld associator. It also gives, in the case of quadratic Lie algebras, a direct proof of the Duflo theorem (implied by the KV problem). To cite this article: A. Alekseev, C. Torossian, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 347 (2009).     

On the Deformation of Lie–Yamaguti Algebras

The deformation theory of Lie–Yamaguti algebras is developed by choosing a suitable cohomology. The relationship between the deformation and the obstruction of Lie–Yamaguti algebras is obtained.     

On the local convergence of the Douglas–Rachford algorithm

We discuss the Douglas–Rachford algorithm to solve the feasibility problem for two closed sets A,B in \({\mathbb{R}^d}\) . We prove its local convergence to a fixed point when A,B are finite unions of convex sets. We also show that for more general nonconvex sets the scheme may fail to converge and start to cycle, and may then even fail to solve the feasibility problem.     

A continuous version of the Hausdorff–Banach–Tarski paradox

We come up with a simple proof for a continuous version of the Hausdorff–Banach–Tarski paradox, which does not make use of Robinson’s method of compatible congruences and fits in the case of finite and countable paradoxical decompositions. It is proved that there exists a free subgroup whose rank is of the power of the continuum in a rotation group of a three-dimensional Euclidean space. We also argue that unbounded subsets of Euclidean space containing inner points are denumerably equipollent.     

On the properties of the strong Cesàro summability and strong convergence of series

Говорят, что ряд \(\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^\infty a_k \) сумм ируется к s в смысле (С, gа), gа >?1, если $$\sigma _n^{(k)} - s = o(1),n \to \infty ,$$ в смысле [C,α] _λ , α<0, λ>0, если $$\frac{1}{{n + 1}}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^n \left| {\sigma _k^{(\alpha - 1)} - s} \right|^\lambda = o(1),n \to \infty ,$$ и в смысле [C,0] _λ , λ>0, если $$\frac{1}{{n + 1}}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^n \left| {(k + 1)(s_k - 1) - k(s_{k - 1} - 1)} \right|^\lambda = o(1),n \to \infty ,$$ где σ _n ^(α) обозначаетn-ое ч езаровское среднее р яда. Суммируемость [C,α] _λ , α>?1, λ ≧1 о значает, что $$\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^\infty k^{\lambda - 1} \left| {\sigma _k^{(\alpha )} - \sigma _{k - 1}^{(\alpha )} } \right|^\lambda< \infty .$$ В данной статье содер жится продолжение ис следований свойств [C,α] _λ -суммиру емо сти, которые начали Винн, Х ислоп, Флетт, Танович-М иллер и автор, в частности свя зей между указанными методами суммирования. Наконец, даны некотор ые простые приложени я к вопросам суммируемости ортог ональных рядов.     

On the rate of convergence to the Bose–Einstein distribution

For a system of identical Bose particles sitting at integer energy levels with the probabilities of microstates given by a multiplicative measure with ≥ 2 degrees of freedom, we estimate the probability of the sequence of occupation numbers to be close to the Bose–Einstein distribution as the total energy tends to infinity. We show that a convergence result earlier proved by A.M. Vershik [Functional Anal. Appl. 30 (2), 95–105 (1996)] is a corollary of our theorems.     

A polynomial identity for the bilinear operation in Lie–Yamaguti algebras

We use computer algebra to demonstrate the existence of a multilinear polynomial identity of degree 8 satisfied by the bilinear operation in every Lie–Yamaguti algebra. This identity is a consequence of the defining identities for Lie–Yamaguti algebras, but is not a consequence of anticommutativity. We give an explicit form of this identity as an alternating sum over all permutations of the variables in a nonassociative polynomial with 8 terms. Our computations show that no such identities exist in degrees less than 8.     

On the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund law of large numbers in Banach lattices

We strengthen the well-known Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund law of large numbers in the case of Banach lattices. Examples of applications to empirical distributions are presented.
