چکیده

Many classical problems in geometry and analysis involve the gluing together of local information to produce a coherent global picture. Inevitably, the difficulty of such a procedure lies at the local boundary, where overlapping views of the same locality must somehow be merged. It is therefore desirable that the boundaries be “smooth,” allowing a graceful transition from one viewpoint to the next. For instance, one may point to Whitney’s use of partitions of unity in studying what is now known as the Whitney extension problem [36, 37]. In the present work, we consider what is perhaps the most basic Whitney-type extension problem, that of extending a Lipschitz function so that it remains Lipschitz. Often such a map is extended by first producing a cover of the new domain, extending the mapping locally, and then gluing together the individual pieces. Our main observation is that in many cases, if one chooses a random cover from the right distribution, the boundary can be made “smooth” on average, even when the local maps are individually quite coarse. This insight leads to the unification, generalization, and improvement of many known results, as well as to new results for many interesting spaces.

Weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions on metric spaces‎, ‎not necessarily compact‎. ‎We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the injectivity and the surjectivity of these operators‎. ‎We also obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for a weighted composition operator between these spaces to be compact.

POINT DERIVATIONS ON BANACH ALGEBRAS OF α-LIPSCHITZ VECTOR-VALUED OPERATORS

The Lipschitz function algebras were first defined in the 1960s by some mathematicians, including Schubert. Initially, the Lipschitz real-value and complex-value functions are defined and quantitative properties of these algebras are investigated. Over time these algebras have been studied and generalized by many mathematicians such as Cao, Zhang, Xu, Weaver, and others. Let  be a non-emp...

Quasicompact and Riesz unital endomorphisms of real Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued functions

We first show that a bounded linear operator $ T $ on a real Banach space $ E $ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively) if and only if $T': E_{mathbb{C}}longrightarrow E_{mathbb{C}}$ is quasicompact  (Riesz, respectively), where the complex Banach space $E_{mathbb{C}}$ is a suitable complexification of $E$ and $T'$ is the complex linear operator on $E_{mathbb{C}}$ associated with $T$. Next, we pr...
