Martingale Convergence

There are several important theorems concerning the almost sure convergence of (monotone) sequences of orthogonal projections in L2-spaces. Let us mention here the martingale convergence theorems or the results on the developments of functions with respect to orthogonal systems. On the other hand every self-adjoint operator with the spectrum on the interval [0, 1] is a limit of some sequence of orthogonal projections in the weak operator topology (see [1]). This paper is devoted to a problem of approximation of a self-adjoint operator A acting in L2 (0, 1) by a sequence Pn of orthogonal projections in the sense that

Adjoint Operators

In Parts I and II of this paper ((4), (5)) we studied the ‘spectral asymmetry’ of certain elliptic self-adjoint operators arising in Riemannian geometry. More precisely, for any elliptic self-adjoint operator A on a compact manifold we definedwhere λ runs over the eigenvalues of A. For the particular operators of interest in Riemannian geometry we showed that ηA(s) had an analytic continuation to the whole complex s-plane, with simple poles, and that s = 0 was not a pole. The real number ηA(0), which is a measure of ‘spectral asymmetry’, was studied in detail particularly in relation to representations of the fundamental group.

Let G be a discrete group and let H = L2(G), with norm | |. Let B(H) be the ring of bounded operators on H with the normThe right regular representation of G on H induces an injection ρ : C[G] → B(H), and W(G) is the closure of the image of ρ in the weak operator topology on B(H) (C = complex numbers). Using ρ, we identify C[G] with its image in W(G).

AbstractLet 𝓖D(𝓗) denote the generalized effect algebra consisting of all positive linear operators defined on a dense linear subspace D of a Hilbert space 𝓗. The D-weak operator topology (introduced by other authors) on 𝓖D(𝓗) is investigated. The corresponding closure of the set of bounded elements of 𝓖D(𝓗) is the whole 𝓖D(𝓗). The closure of the set of all unbounded elements of 𝓖D(𝓗) is also the set 𝓖D(𝓗). If Q is arbitrary unbounded element of 𝓖D(𝓗), it determines an interval in 𝓖D(𝓗), consisting of all operators between 0 and Q (with the usual ordering of operators). If we take the set of all bounded elements of this interval, the closure of this set (in the D-weak operator topology) is just the original interval. Similarly, the corresponding closure of the set of all unbounded elements of the interval will again be the considered interval.

When thio-urea is treated with suitable oxidising agents in presence of acids, salts are formed corresponding to the general formula (CSN2H4)2X2:—Of these salts the di-nitrate is very sparingly soluble, and is precipitated on the addition of nitric acid or a nitrate to solutions of the other salts. The salts, as a class, are not very stable, and their solutions decompose, especially on warming, with formation of sulphur, thio-urea, cyanamide, and free acid. A corresponding decomposition results immediately on the addition of alkali, and this constitutes a very characteristic reaction for these salts.

AbstractThe paper deals with iterative methods for solving linear operator equations ${x = Bx + f}$ and ${Ax = f}$ with self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space X in the critical case when ${\rho (B) = 1}$ and ${0 \in \operatorname{Sp} A}$. The results obtained are based on a theorem by M. A. Krasnosel'skii on the convergence of the successive approximations, their modifications and refinements.

Let ‘ϕ’, ‘χ’, and ‘ψ’ be variables ranging over functions from the sentence letters P0, P1, … Pn, … of (propositional) modal logic to sentences of P(eano) Arithmetic), and for each sentence A of modal logic, inductively define Aϕ by[and similarly for other nonmodal propositional connectives]; andwhere Bew(x) is the standard provability predicate for PA and ⌈F⌉ is the PA numeral for the Gödel number of the formula F of PA. Then for any ϕ, (−□⊥)ϕ = −Bew(⌈⊥⌉), which is the consistency assertion for PA; a sentence S is undecidable in PA iff both and , where ϕ(p0) = S. If ψ(p0) is the undecidable sentence constructed by Gödel, then ⊬PA (−□⊥→ −□p0 & − □ − p0)ψ and ⊢PA(P0 ↔ −□⊥)ψ. However, if ψ(p0) is the undecidable sentence constructed by Rosser, then the situation is the other way around: ⊬PA(P0 ↔ −□⊥)ψ and ⊢PA (−□⊥→ −□−p0 & −□−p0)ψ. We call a sentence S of PA extremely undecidable if for all modal sentences A containing no sentence letter other than p0, if for some ψ, ⊬PAAψ, then ⊬PAAϕ, where ϕ(p0) = S. (So, roughly speaking, a sentence is extremely undecidable if it can be proved to have only those modal-logically characterizable properties that every sentence can be proved to have.) Thus extremely undecidable sentences are undecidable, but neither the Godel nor the Rosser sentence is extremely undecidable. It will follow at once from the main theorem of this paper that there are infinitely many inequivalent extremely undecidable sentences.

Integral transformations analogous to the Nörlund means have been introduced and investigated by Kuttner, Knopp and Vanderburg(6), (5), (4). It is known that with any regular Nörlund mean (N, p) there is associated a functionregular for |z| < 1, and if we have two Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r), where (N, pr is regular, while the function is regular for |z| ≤ 1 and different) from zero at z = 1, then q(z) = r(z)p(z) belongs to a regular Nörlund mean (N, q). Concerning Nörlund means Peyerimhoff(7) and Miesner (3) have recently obtained the relation between the convergence fields of the Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r) on the one hand and the convergence field of the Nörlund mean (N, q) on the other hand.

It is well known that no rational number is approximable to order higher than 1. Roth [3] showed that an algebraic number is not approximable to order greater than 2. On the other hand it is easy to construct numbers, the Liouville numbers, which are approximable to any order (see [2], p. 162). We are led to the question, “Let Nn(α, β) denote the number of distinct rational points with denominators ≦ n contained in an interval (α, β). What is the behaviour of Nn(α, + 1/n) as α varies on the real line?” We shall prove that and that there are “compressions” and “rarefactions” of rational points on the real line.

The general result of these strictly preliminary experiments appears to show that for sparks not exceeding a decimetre in length (L), taken in air at different pressures (P), between two metal balls of 7mm·5 radius, the requisite potential (V), is expressed by the formulaThe Holtz machine employed is a double one, made by Ruhmkorff, and it was used with its small Leyden jars attached. The measurements had to be made with a divided-ring electrometer, so that two insulated balls, at a considerable distance from one another, were connected, one with the machine, the other with the electrometer.
