A note on continuous stable sampling

We define a category containing the discrete quantum groups (and hence the discrete groups and the duals of compact groups) and the compact quantum groups (and hence the compact groups and the duals of discrete groups). The dual of an object can be defined within the same category and we have a biduality theorem. This theory extends the duality between compact quantum groups and discrete quantum groups (and hence the one between compact abelian groups and discrete abelian groups). The objects in our category are multiplier Hopf algebras, with invertible antipode, admitting invariant functionals (integrals), satisfying some extra condition (to take care of the non-abelianness of the underlying algebras). If we start with a multiplier Hopf ∗-algebra with positive invariant functionals, then also the dual is a multiplier Hopf ∗-algebra with positive invariant functionals. This makes it possible to formulate this duality also within the framework of C∗-algebras.

Continuous framings for Banach spaces

In this present paper we introduce weaving Hilbert space frames in the continuous case, we propose new approaches for manufacturing pairs of woven continuous frames, and we obtain new properties in continuous weaving frame theory related to dual frames. Also, we provide some approaches for constructing continuous weaving frames by using small perturbations. These methods not only enhance the understanding of frame theory but also open avenues for practical applications in signal processing and data representation. Future research may further explore the implications of these findings in more complex systems and their potential interdisciplinary benefits.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a definition of continuous frames of rank n for Krein spaces and to study their basic properties. Similarly to the Hilbert space case, continuous frames are characterized by the analysis, the pre-frame and the frame operator, where the latter gives rise to a frame decomposition theorem. The paper includes a discussion of similar, dual and Parseval frames and of reproducing kernels. In addition, the importance of the fundamental symmetry in the formula for the frame operator in a Krein space is clarified. As prime examples, it is shown how to transfer continuous frames for Hilbert spaces to Krein spaces arising from a possibly non-regular Gram operator.

In Pontrjagin's theory of duality for compact abelian groups, the following theorem is known : Let G be a compact abelian group, G* the dual group. Then the topological dimension of G, in the sense of Lebesgue, is equal to the rank of discrete abelian group G*. It was Prof. T. Tannaka who has called my attention to the lack of corresponding theorem in non-commutative case. I intend to give, in this note, a theorem of this kind in the following form: THEOREM A. Let G be an arbitrary compact group, G the aggregate of continuous finite dimensional representstions of G, C[ G ] the algebra over the complex numbers C generated by the coefficients of representations in G, i.e., the representative ring of G in the sense of C. Chevalley^. Then the topological dimension of G, in the sense of Lebesgue, is equal to the transcendental degree of C[G] over C.

This paper deals with the possibility of transforming a weakly measurable function in a Hilbert space into a continuous frame by a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. A necessary condition is that the domain of the analysis operator associated with the function be dense. The study is done also with the help of the generalized frame operator associated with a weakly measurable function, which has better properties than the usual frame operator. A special attention is given to lower semi-frames: indeed, if the domain of the analysis operator is dense, then a lower semi-frame can be transformed into a Parseval frame with a (special) metric operator.

A bounded linear operator is said to be nice if its adjoint preserves extreme points of the dual unit ball. Motivated by a description due to Labuschagne and Mascioni [9] of such maps for the space of compact operators on a Hilbert space, in this article we consider a description of nice surjections onK(X, Y) for Banach spacesX, Y. We give necessary and sufficient conditions when nice surjections are given by composition operators. Our results imply automatic continuity of these maps with respect to other topologies on spaces of operators. We also formulate the corresponding result forL(X, Y) thereby proving an analogue of the result from [9] forL p (1 <p ≠ 2 < ∞) spaces. We also formulate results when nice operators are not of the canonical form, extending and correcting the results from [8].

Let \{a_k\}_{k\geq0} be a sequence of complex numbers. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of n^{-1}\sum_{k=0}^na_kT^kx for every contraction T on a Hilbert space H and every x \in H. It is shown that a natural strengthening of the conditions does not yield convergence for all weakly almost periodic operators in Banach spaces, and the relations between the conditions are exhibited. For a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers \{k_j\}, we study the problem of when n^{-1}\sum_{j=1}^nT^{k_j}x converges to a T-fixed point for every weakly almost periodic T or for every contraction in a Hilbert space and not for every weakly almost periodic operator.

Geophysical Inverse Theory and Regularization Problems

We study Pontryagin reflexivity in the class of precompact topological Abelian groups. We find reflexive groups among precompact not pseudocompact and among pseudocompact not compact groups. Making use of Martin's axiom we give an example of a reflexive countably compact not compact Abelian group. We also prove that every pseudocompact Abelian group is a quotient of a reflexive pseudocompact group with respect to a closed reflexive pseudocompact subgroup.

We prove that the category M of abelian groups with a Polish cover introduced in collaboration with Bergfalk and Panagiotopoulos is the left heart of (the derived category of) the quasi-abelian category A of abelian Polish groups in the sense of Beilinson–Bernstein–Deligne and Schneiders. Thus, M is an abelian category containing A as a full subcategory such that the inclusion functor A→M is exact and finitely continuous. Furthermore, M is uniquely characterized up to equivalence by the following universal property: for every abelian category B, a functor A→B is exact and finitely continuous if and only if it extends to an exact and finitely continuous functor M→B. In particular, this provides a description of the left heart of A as a concrete category.We provide similar descriptions of the left heart of a number of categories of algebraic structures endowed with a topology, including: non-Archimedean abelian Polish groups; locally compact abelian Polish groups; totally disconnected locally compact abelian Polish groups; Polish R-modules, for a given Polish group or Polish ring R; and separable Banach spaces and separable Fréchet spaces over a separable complete non-Archimedean valued field.

From the viewpoint of the theory of orthomodular lattices of elementary propositions, Quantum Theories can be formulated in real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert spaces as established in Sol\'er's theorem. The said lattice eventually coincides with the lattice of all orthogonal projectors on a separable Hilbert space over R, C, or over the algebra of quaternions H. Quantum states are $\sigma$-additive probability measures on that non-Boolean lattice. Gleason's theorem proves that, if the Hilbert space is separable with dimension >2 and the Hilbert space is either real or complex, then states are one-to-one with standard density matrices (self-adjoint, positive, unit-trace, trace-class operators). The extension of this result to quaternionic Hilbert spaces was obtained by Varadarajan in 1968. Unfortunately, even if the hard part of the proof is correct, the formulation of this extension is mathematically incorrect. This is due to some peculiarities of the notion of trace in quaternionic Hilbert spaces, e.g., basis dependence, making the theory of trace-class operators in quaternionic Hilbert spaces different from the standard theory in real and complex Hilbert spaces. A minor issue also affects Varadarajan's statement for real Hilbert space formulation. This paper is mainly devoted to present Gleason-Varadarajan's theorem into a technically correct form valid for the three types of Hilbert spaces. After having develped part of the general mathematical technology of trace-class operators in (generally non-separable) quaternionic Hilbert spaces, we prove that only the {\em real part} of the trace enters the formalism of quantum theories (also dealing with unbounded observables and symmetries) and it can be safely used to formulate and prove a common statement of Gleason's theorem.

Fixed points for bounded orbits in Hilbert spaces

We consider a two-point boundary value problem for the equation $u_{tt} - A(t)u = f(t,u)$ where, for each t, $A(t)$ is an unbounded operator in Hilbert space whose domain varies with t. We establish the existence (but not the uniqueness) of “weak” solutions of this problem by using finite difference methods. When $A(t)$ represents a differential operator in the space variables, the method of proof can be converted into a convergent numerical procedure.
