In this paper, using martingale techniques, we prove a generalization of Doob’s maximal identity in the setting of continuous nonnegative local submartingales (Xt) of the form: Xt = Nt + At, where the measure (dAt) is carried by the set {t : Xt = 0}. In particular, we give a multiplicative decomposition for the Azéma supermartingale associated with some last passage times related to such proces...

In the study of hereditary Noetherian rings, it is clear that hereditary Noetherian prime rings will play a central role (see, for example, [12]). Here we study the (two-sided) ideals of an hereditary Xoetherian prime ring and, as a consequence, ascertain the structure of factor rings and torsion modules. The torsion theory represents a generalization of similar results about Dedekind prime rin...

We obtain a weak type (1, 1) estimate for a maximal operator associated with the classical rough homogeneous singular integrals TΩ. In particular, this provides a different approach to a sparse domination for TΩ obtained recently by Conde-Alonso, Culiuc, Di Plinio and Ou [5].

For a Banach space X, let B(X) denote the Banach algebra of all continuous linear operators on X. First, we study the lattice of closed ideals in B(Jp), where 1 < p < ∞ and Jp is the pth James space. Our main result is that the ideal of weakly compact operators is the unique maximal ideal in B(Jp). Applications of this result include the following. (i) The Brown–McCoy radical of B(X), which by ...

We develop some new topological tools to study maximal subgroups of free idempotent generated semigroups. As an application, we show that the rank 1 component of the free idempotent generated semigroup of the biordered set of a full matrix monoid of size n×n,n > 2 over a division ring Q has maximal subgroup isomorphic to the multiplicative subgroup of Q.

Twelve rabbits were cast-immobilized for 4 weeks during which either 10- or 50-Hz stimulation was applied transcutaneously to the anterior compartment muscles. After the treatment period, tibialis anterior and soleus muscle contractile and histochemical properties were measured. Tibialis anterior stimulation at either 10 or 50 Hz had significantly different effects on the ipsilateral, unstimula...

We prove in this paper some sharp weighted inequalities for the vector–valued maximal function Mq of Fefferman and Stein defined by Mqf(x) = ( ∞ ∑ i=1 (Mfi(x)) q )1/q , where M is the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function. As a consequence we derive the main result establishing that in the range 1 < q < p < ∞ there exists a constant C such that ∫ Rn Mqf(x) p w(x)dx ≤ C ∫ Rn |f(x)|qM [ p q ]+1 w(x)d...

We are concerned with surjectivity of perturbations of maximal monotone operators in non-reflexive Banach spaces. While in a reflexive setting, a classical surjectivity result due to Rockafellar gives a necessary and sufficient condition to maximal monotonicity, in a nonreflexive space we characterize maximality using a “enlarged” version of the duality mapping, introduced previously by Gossez....
