The main aim of this paper is to obtain a converse theorem for double Dirichlet series and use it to show that the Shintani zeta functions [13] which arise in the theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces are actually linear combinations of Mellin transforms of metaplectic Eisenstein series on GL(2). The converse theorem we prove will apply to a very general family of double Dirichlet series which...

We prove some new results on quasi-regular Dirichlet forms. These include results on perturbations of Dirichlet forms, change of speed measure, and tightness. The tightness implies the existence of an associated right continuous strong Markov process. We also discuss applications to a number of examples including cases with possibly degenerate (sub)-elliptic part, diffusions on loops spaces, an...

The aim of this paper is the study of some laws of random probability distributions, called hyper Dirichlet processes, charging the product of three sample spaces, with the property that the first and the third components are independent conditional to the second one. The law of the marginals on the first two and on the last two components are specified to be Dirichlet processes with the same m...

Since the celebrated result of Fukushima on the connection between regular Dirichlet forms and Hunt processes in 1971, the theory of Dirichlet forms has been rapidly developed and has brought a wide range of applications in various related areas of mathematics and physics (see e.g. the three new books [BH 91], [MR 92], [FOT 94] and references therein). In this survey paper I shall mainly discus...

It is known that von Neumann-Landau wave equation can present a mathematical formalism of motion of quantum mechanics, that is an extension of Schrödinger's wave equation. In this paper, we concern with the Dirichlet problem of the stationary von Neumann-Landau wave equation: where Ω is a bounded domain in R n. By introducing anti-inner product spaces, we show the existence and uniqueness of th...

We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problem when the nonlinear term f is sublinear and p(x) is greater than n. This Dirichlet problem involves a general elliptic operator in divergence form (in particular, a p(x)-Laplace operator). Our method relies upon a recent critical point theorem obtained by Bonanno and Marano, and is combined with the theory of varia...

H ·H := ̆ h = fg : f, g ∈ H ̄ = H ←↩ H is the product space of H2, by inner/outer factorization and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. It is interesting, then, to find the dual space of H1. C. Fefferman [7] proved that, under the H2 paring (with some care), (H2 ·H2)∗ = (H1)∗ = BMO∩H(D) is the space of the analytic functions with bounded mean oscillation. The definition of BMO, born out of a problem in el...

Giry and Lawvere’s categorical treatment of probabilities, based on the probabilistic monad G, offer an elegant and hitherto unexploited treatment of higher-order probabilities. The goal of this paper is to follow this formulation to reconstruct a family of higher-order probabilities known as the Dirichlet process. This family is widely used in non-parametric Bayesian learning. Given a Polish s...
