Polynomial approximation on compact manifolds and homogeneous spaces

Flows on Homogeneous Spaces and Diophantine Approximation on Manifolds

We present a new approach to metric Diophantine approximation on manifolds based on the correspondence between approximation properties of numbers and orbit properties of certain flows on homogeneous spaces. This approach yields a new proof of a conjecture of Mahler, originally settled by V. G. Sprindžuk in 1964. We also prove several related hypotheses of Baker and Sprindžuk formulated in 1970...

Lipschitz Spaces on Compact Manifolds

Let f be a bounded function on the real line IF!. One may characterize the structural properties off by the modulus of smoothness w(t,f) = sup{lf (4 -f( y)l; x, y E 08, I x y I < t>, and, if w(t) is a continuous nondecreasing function of t > 0 such that w(O) = 0, by the Lipschitz class Lip(w) which is the set of all continuous functions such that su~~<~<i w(t, f)/o(t) < 00. It is possible to ex...

A Class of compact operators on homogeneous spaces

Let  $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ be a locally compact group and  $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. For  an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$  and $psi in L^p(G/H), 1leq p <infty$, we determine a class of bounded  compact operators  which are related to continuous wavelet transforms on homogeneous spaces and they are called localization operators.

Besov Spaces and Frames on Compact Manifolds

We show that one can characterize the Besov spaces on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold, for the full range of indices, through a knowledge of the size of frame coefficients, using the smooth, nearly tight frames we have constructed in [8].
