Abstract

The desirable properties when constructing collections of subspaces often include the algebraic constraint that the projections onto the subspaces yield a resolution of the identity like the projections onto lines spanned by vectors of an orthonormal basis (the so-called tightness condition) and the geometric constraint that the subspaces form an optimal packing of the Grassmannian, again like the one-dimensional subspaces spanned by vectors in an orthonormal basis. In this article a generalization of related constructions which use known packings to build new configurations and which appear in numerous forms in the literature is given, as well as the characterization of a long list of desirable algebraic and geometric properties which the construction preserves. Another construction based on subspace complementation is similarly analyzed. While many papers on subspace packings focus only on so-called equiisoclinic or equichordal arrangements, attention is also given to other configurations like those which saturate the orthoplex bound and thus are optimal but lie outside of the parameter regime where equiisoclinic and equichordal packings can occur. Keywords: fusion frame, Grassmannian packing, simplex bound, orthoplex bound, equichordal, strongly simplicial, equiisoclinic

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
