A non-a-normal function whose derivative has finite area integral of order less than 2/a
[PDF]

Let D be the unit disk {z : |z| < 1} in the complex plane. A function f, meromorphic in D, is normal, denoted by f Î N, if supz Î D (1-|z|2) f#(z) < ¥, where f#(z) = |f¢(z)| / ( 1+|f(z)|2 ). For a > 1, a meromorphic function f is called a-normal if supz Î D (1-|z|2)a f#(z) < ¥. H. Allen and C. Belna [1] have proved that there is an analytic function f1, defined in D, such that

 \iintD |f1¢(z)|  dx  dy < ¥
but f1 Ï N. S. Yamashita [3] sharpened this result by showing that for another analytic function f2 which does not belong to N it holds
 \iintD |f2¢(z)|p  dx  dy < ¥\tag1
(1)
for all p, 0 < p < 2. Further, H. Wulan [2] studied more the function f2 and showed that f2 Ï È0 < p < ¥ Qp# but f2 Î Ç0 < p < ¥ Mp#. We construct a class of analytic functions fs which satisfy (1) for 0 < p < [ 2/(a)] but fs Ï Na for a > 1. Further, the question if fs belongs or not to È0 < p < ¥ Mp# is considered.

Lagrangian Mean Curvature flow for entire Lipschitz graphs
[PDF]

We prove existence of longtime smooth solutions to mean curvature flow of entire Lipschitz Lagrangian graphs. As an application of the estimates for the solution, we establish a Bernstein type result for translating solitons.

The results are from joint work with Albert Chau and Weiyong He.

Hankel operators and the Dixmier trace
[PDF]

We discuss the membership of (big) Hankel operators Hf on weighted Bergman spaces in the Dixmier class. For the unit disc and f holomorphic, H[`(f)] is in this class if and only if f¢ belongs to the Hardy one-space H1. On the unit ball in Cn, n ³ 2, there is an analogous result for any f smooth on the closed ball (not necessarily conjugate-holomorphic), which is reminiscent of the trace formula of Helton and Howe. The last result extends also to arbitrary smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in Cn, where the formula for the Dixmier trace turns out to involve the Levi form, thus exhibiting an interesting link with the geometry of the domain. The proofs involve analysis of pseudodifferential operators on the boundary of the domains.

The case of the disc is joint work with Richard Rochberg, while the case of the ball and of pseudoconvex domains are joint with Kunyu Guo and Genkai Zhang.

Dual Brunn-Minkowski Inequality for (n-1)-Capacity
[PDF]

A dual capacity Brunn-Minkowski inequality is established for the (n-1)-capacity of radial sums of star bodies in Rn. This inequality is a counterpart for the p-capacity of Minkowski sums of convex bodies in Rn for 1 £ p < n, proved by Borell, Colesanti and Salani. When n ³ 3, the dual inequality follows from an inequality of Bandle and Marcus, but our new proof allows us to establish an equality condition. In the n=2 case, we use different techniques to establish the inequality and a different equality condition. These results show that in a sense (n-1)-capacity has the same status of volume in that it plays the role of its own dual set function in the Brunn-Minkowski and dual Brunn-Minkowski theories.

This is joint work with Richard Gardner.

Hardy spaces associated with Schrödinger operators on the Heisenberg group
[PDF]

Let L = -DHn + V be a Schrödinger operator on the Heisenberg group Hn, where DHn is the sub-Laplacian and the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class B[(Q)/2] and Q is the homogeneous dimension of Hn. The Riesz transforms associated with the Schrödinger operator L are bounded from L1(Hn) to L1,¥ (Hn). The L1 integrability of the Riesz transforms associated with L characterizes a certain Hardy type space denoted by H1L(Hn) which is larger than the usual Hardy space H1(Hn). We define H1L(Hn) in terms of the maximal function with respect to the semigroup {e-s L : s > 0}, and give the atomic decomposition of H1L(Hn). As an application of the atomic decomposition theorem, we prove that H1L(Hn) can be characterized by the Riesz transforms associated with L.

An overdetermined problem for a Finsler-Laplacian
[PDF]

I will present some results of a recent joint paper with A. Cianchi. The purpose is to embed the famous Serrin's symmetry result (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal., 1971) in a general symmetry principle for solutions to overdetermined elliptic problems, where the relevant symmetry is not necessarily of spherical type. The underlying idea of our contribution is that a symmetry result holds for any overdetermined problem involving an elliptic operator (with quadratic growth) from a suitable class, provided that the additional boundary condition imposed on the gradient of the solution matches the structure of the differential operator. The resulting symmetry of the domain (and of the corresponding solution u) reflects, in turn, the symmetry of the operator, that is: a solution exists if and only if the domain W is a ball in an appropriate Finsler metric associated with the operator (moreover the level sets of u are homothetic to W).

On the Conserved Quantities of the 2D Surface Quasi-geostrophic Equation
[PDF]

The 2D surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation can be seen as a 2D model equation for the 3D incompressible Euler equations. In this talk we will discuss necessary and sufficient conditions, characterized by Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type spaces, for the conservation of various conserved quantities of the 2D SQG equation. These conditions can help in the searching of rigorous mathematical framework modeling turbulent flows.

Gaps in the ratios of the spectrum of Laplacians on fractals
[PDF]

In contrast to the classical situation, it is known that many Laplacian operators on fractals have gaps in their spectra. This surprising fact means there can be no limit in the Weyl counting formula and it is a key ingredient in proving that the convergence of Fourier series on fractals can be better than in the classical setting. Recently, it was observed that the Laplacian on the Sierpinski gasket has the stronger property that there exist intervals which contain no ratios of eigenvalues. In this talk, we give general criteria for this phenomenon and show that Laplacians on many interesting classes of fractals satisfy our criteria.
