A Characterization Theorem for Aumann Integrals

Abstract

A Daniell-Stone type characterization theorem for Aumann integrals of set-valued measurable functions will be proven. It is assumed that the values of these functions are closed convex upper sets, a structure that has been used in some recent developments in set-valued variational analysis and set optimization. It is shown that the Aumann integral of such a function is also a closed convex upper set. The main theorem characterizes the conditions under which a functional that maps from a certain collection of measurable set-valued functions into the set of all closed convex upper sets can be written as the Aumann integral with respect to some $σ$-finite measure. These conditions include the analog of the conlinearity and monotone convergence properties of the classical Daniell-Stone theorem for the Lebesgue integral, and three geometric properties that are peculiar to the set-valued case as they are redundant in the one-dimensional setting.

A Complex Geometric Approach to the Discrete Gabor Transform and Localization Operators on the Flat Torus

In a recent paper, the discrete Gabor transform was connected to a Gabor transform with a time frequency domain given by the flat torus. We show that the corresponding Bargmann-Fock spaces can be expressed as theta functions (or equivalently line bundles on Abelian varieties). We give applications of this viewpoint to frame results for the discrete Gabor transform. In particular, we get necessary conditions which hold in higher dimensions and can expand the known results in the one dimensional case, the primary tool being the theorem of the square. We also give an application to asymptotics of restriction operators which arises via the asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernels and Toeplitz operators for high tensor powers of line bundles and find that time frequency restriction operators on the flat torus will exhibit "plunge" behaviors similar to those of time frequency restriction operators in other contexts.

On a minimal Andô dilation for a pair of strict contractions

The isometric dilation of a pair of commuting contractions due to Andô is not minimal. We modify Andô's dilation and construct a minimal isometric dilation on $\mathcal H \oplus_2 \ell_2(\mathcal H \oplus_2 \mathcal H)$ for a commuting pair of strict contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. In the same spirit, we construct under certain conditions a minimal Andô dilation for a commuting pair of strict Banach space contractions. Further, we show that an Andô dilation is possible even for a more general pair of commuting contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ on a normed space $\mathbb X$ provided that the function $A_{T_i}: \mathbb X \rightarrow \mathbb R$ given by $A_{T_i}(x)=(\|x\|^2-\|T_ix\|^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ defines a norm on $\mathbb X$ for $i=1,2$.

Some properties of Fourier quasicrystals and measures on a strip

We extend certain results of the theory of Fourier quasicrystals on the real line to the case of a horizontal strip of finite width. For measures in a strip we use a natural generalization of the usual Fourier transform for measures on the line. We consider positive or translation bounded measures $μ$ on a strip whose Fourier transform is a pure point measure $\hatμ=\sum_{γ\inΓ}b_γδ_γ$ (as usual, $δ_γ$ is the unit mass at the point $γ$). We prove that the measure $ν=\sum_{γ\inΓ}|b_γ|^2δ_γ$ has the exponential growth. Moreover, if for some $η>0$ the points of $Γ$ in every interval of length $η$ are linearly independent over integers, then the measure $\hatμ$ also has the exponential growth.
