An old question of Arhangel’skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space X is preserved by homeomorphisms of the space $C_p(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on X endowed with the pointwise topology. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we develop a method of studying invariants of linear homeomorphisms of function spaces $C_p(X)$ by looking at the way X is positioned in its (Čech–Stone) compactification.

Let $H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)$ be the space of bounded analytic functions $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x_{n}z^{n}$ from a proper simply connected domain Ω containing the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z| \lt 1\}$ into a complex Banach space X with $\left\lVert f\right\rVert_{H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)} \leq 1$. Let $\phi=\{\phi_{n}(r)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with $\phi_{0}(r)\leq 1$ such that $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \phi_{n}(r)$ converges locally uniformly with respect to $r \in [0,1)$. For $1\leq p,q \lt \infty$, we denote

\begin{equation*}R_{p,q,\phi}(f,\Omega,X)= \sup \left\{r \geq 0: \left\lVert x_{0}\right\rVert^p \phi_{0}(r) + \left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert x_{n}\right\rVert\phi_{n}(r)\right)^q \leq \phi_{0}(r)\right\}\end{equation*}

\begin{equation*}R_{p,q,\phi}(\Omega,X)=\inf \left\{R_{p,q,\phi}(f,\Omega,X): \left\lVert f\right\rVert_{H^{\infty}(\Omega,X)} \leq 1\right\}.\end{equation*}

We prove some results on weakly almost square Banach spaces and their relatives. On the one hand, we discuss weak almost squareness in the setting of Banach function spaces. More precisely, let $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ be a measurable space, let E be a Banach lattice and let $\nu:\Sigma \to E^+$ be a non-atomic countably additive measure having relatively norm compact range. Then the space $L_1(\nu)$ is weakly almost square. This result applies to some abstract Cesàro function spaces. Similar arguments show that the Lebesgue–Bochner space $L_1(\mu,Y)$ is weakly almost square for any Banach space Y and for any non-atomic finite measure µ. On the other hand, we make some progress on the open question of whether there exists a locally almost square Banach space, which fails the diameter two property. In this line, we prove that if X is any Banach space containing a complemented isomorphic copy of c0, then for every $0 \lt \varepsilon \lt 1$, there exists an equivalent norm $|\cdot|$ on X satisfying the following: (i) every slice of the unit ball $B_{(X,|\cdot|)}$ has diameter 2; (ii) $B_{(X,|\cdot|)}$ contains non-empty relatively weakly open subsets of arbitrarily small diameter and (iii) $(X,|\cdot|)$ is (r, s)-SQ for all $0 \lt r,s \lt \frac{1-\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}$.

The Nevanlinna-type spaces $N_\varphi $ of analytic functions on the disk in the complex plane generated by strongly convex functions $\varphi $ in the sense of Rudin are studied. We show for some special class of strongly convex functions asymptotic bounds on the growth of the Taylor coefficients of a function in $N_\varphi $ and use these to characterize the coefficient multipliers from $N_\varphi $ into the Hardy spaces $H^p$ with $0<p\leqslant \infty $. As a by-product, we prove a representation of continuous linear functionals on $N_\varphi $.

In this paper, we prove some weighted sharp inequalities of Trudinger–Moser type. The weights considered here have a logarithmic growth. These inequalities are completely new and are established in some new Sobolev spaces where the norm is a mixture of the norm of the gradient in two different Lebesgue spaces. This fact allowed us to prove a very interesting result of sharpness for the case of doubly exponential growth at infinity. Some improvements of these inequalities for the weakly convergent sequences are also proved using a version of the Concentration-Compactness principle of P.L. Lions. Taking profit of these inequalities, we treat in the last part of this work some elliptic quasilinear equation involving the weighted $(N,q)-$Laplacian operator where $1 < q < N$ and a nonlinearities enjoying a new type of exponential growth condition at infinity.

Let X be a compact metric space, C(X) be the space of continuous real-valued functions on X and $A_{1},A_{2}$ be two closed subalgebras of C(X) containing constant functions. We consider the problem of approximation of a function $f\in C(X)$ by elements from $A_{1}+A_{2}$. We prove a Chebyshev-type alternation theorem for a function $u_{0} \in A_{1}+A_{2}$ to be a best approximation to f.

On all Bergman–Besov Hilbert spaces on the unit disk, we find self-adjoint weighted shift operators that are differential operators of half-order whose commutators are the identity, thereby obtaining uncertainty relations in these spaces. We also obtain joint average uncertainty relations for pairs of commuting tuples of operators on the same spaces defined on the unit ball. We further identify functions that yield equality in some uncertainty inequalities.

Given a $\sigma $-finite measure space $(X,\mu )$, a Young function $\Phi $, and a one-parameter family of Young functions $\{\Psi _q\}$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the associated Orlicz norms of any function $f\in L^\Phi (X,\mu )$ to satisfy

$$\begin{align*}\lim_{q\rightarrow \infty}\|f\|_{L^{\Psi_q}(X,\mu)}=C\|f\|_{L^\infty(X,\mu)}. \end{align*}$$

The constant C is independent of f and depends only on the family $\{\Psi _q\}$. Several examples of one-parameter families of Young functions satisfying our conditions are given, along with counterexamples when our conditions fail.

Answering a question by Chatterji–Druţu–Haglund, we prove that, for every locally compact group $G$, there exists a critical constant $p_G \in [0,\infty ]$ such that $G$ admits a continuous affine isometric action on an $L_p$ space ($0< p<\infty$) with unbounded orbits if and only if $p \geq p_G$. A similar result holds for the existence of proper continuous affine isometric actions on $L_p$ spaces. Using a representation of cohomology by harmonic cocycles, we also show that such unbounded orbits cannot occur when the linear part comes from a measure-preserving action, or more generally a state-preserving action on a von Neumann algebra and $p>2$. We also prove the stability of this critical constant $p_G$ under $L_p$ measure equivalence, answering a question of Fisher.

We introduce a technique that is helpful in evaluating the reflexivity index of several classes of topological spaces and lattices. The main results are related to products: we give a sufficient condition for the product of a topological space and a nest of balls to have low reflexivity index and determine the reflexivity index of all compact connected 2-manifolds.

A subset ${\mathcal D}$ of a domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb C}^d$ is determining for an analytic function $f:\Omega \to \overline {{\mathbb D}}$ if whenever an analytic function $g:\Omega \rightarrow \overline {{\mathbb D}}$ coincides with f on ${\mathcal D}$, equals to f on whole $\Omega $. This note finds several sufficient conditions for a subset of the symmetrized bidisk to be determining. For any $N\geq 1$, a set consisting of $N^2-N+1$ many points is constructed which is determining for any rational inner function with a degree constraint. We also investigate when the intersection of the symmetrized bidisk intersected with some special algebraic varieties can be determining for rational inner functions.

We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal {X}$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal {Y}$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal {X}$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by less then $1-\varepsilon $ for some $\varepsilon>0$). This solves in the negative the central problem of the search for a nonseparable version of Kottman’s theorem which so far has produced many deep positive results for special classes of Banach spaces and has related the global properties of the spaces to the distances between points of uncountable subsets of the unit sphere. The property of our space is strong enough to imply that it contains neither an uncountable Auerbach system nor an uncountable equilateral set. The space is a strictly convex renorming of the Johnson–Lindenstrauss space induced by an $\mathbb {R}$-embeddable almost disjoint family of subsets of $\mathbb {N}$. We also show that this special feature of the almost disjoint family is essential to obtain the above properties.

In this article, we study a generalized Bohr radius $R_{p, q}(X), p, q\in [1, \infty )$ defined for a complex Banach space X. In particular, we determine the exact value of $R_{p, q}(\mathbb {C})$ for the cases (i) $p, q\in [1, 2]$ , (ii) $p\in (2, \infty ), q\in [1, 2]$ , and (iii) $p, q\in [2, \infty )$ . Moreover, we consider an n-variable version $R_{p, q}^n(X)$ of the quantity $R_{p, q}(X)$ and determine (i) $R_{p, q}^n(\mathcal {H})$ for an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $\mathcal {H}$ and (ii) the precise asymptotic value of $R_{p, q}^n(X)$ as $n\to \infty $ for finite-dimensional X. We also study the multidimensional analog of a related concept called the p-Bohr radius. To be specific, we obtain the asymptotic value of the n-dimensional p-Bohr radius for bounded complex-valued functions, and in the vector-valued case, we provide a lower estimate for the same, which is independent of n.

We establish multiplicity results for the following class of quasilinear problems P

We consider a class of generalized nonlocal $p$-Laplacian equations. We find some proper structural conditions to establish a version of nonlocal Harnack inequalities of weak solutions to such nonlocal problems by using the expansion of positivity and energy estimates.

We characterize zero sets for which every subset remains a zero set too in the Fock space $\mathcal {F}^p$ , $1\leq p<\infty $ . We are also interested in the study of a stability problem for some examples of uniqueness set with zero excess in Fock spaces.

Hardy kernels are a useful tool to define integral operators on Hilbertian spaces like $L^2(\mathbb R^+)$ or $H^2(\mathbb C^+)$ . These kernels entail an algebraic $L^1$ -structure which is used in this work to study the range spaces of those operators as reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We obtain their reproducing kernels, which in the $L^2(\mathbb R^+)$ case turn out to be Hardy kernels as well. In the $H^2(\mathbb C^+)$ scenario, the reproducing kernels are given by holomorphic extensions of Hardy kernels. Other results presented here are theorems of Paley–Wiener type, and a connection with one-sided Hilbert transforms.

In this paper, we establish a new fractional interpolation inequality for radially symmetric measurable functions on the whole space $R^{N}$ and a new compact imbedding result about radially symmetric measurable functions. We show that the best constant in the new interpolation inequality can be achieved by a radially symmetric function. As applications of this compactness result, we study the existence of ground states of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation on the whole space $R^{N}$. We also prove an existence result of standing waves and prove their orbital stability.

We provide examples of infinitesimally Hilbertian, rectifiable, Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces having pmGH-tangents that are not infinitesimally Hilbertian.

Given a holomorphic self-map $\varphi $ of $\mathbb {D}$ (the open unit disc in $\mathbb {C}$ ), the composition operator $C_{\varphi } f = f \circ \varphi $ , $f \in H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$ , defines a bounded linear operator on the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$ . The model spaces are the backward shift-invariant closed subspaces of $H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$ , which are canonically associated with inner functions. In this paper, we study model spaces that are invariant under composition operators. Emphasis is put on finite-dimensional model spaces, affine transformations, and linear fractional transformations.
