Aleksandrov, Anderson and Nicolau have found examples of inner functions that are in the little Bloch space with a specific rate of convergence to zero. As a corollary they obtain positive singular measures defined in the boundary of the unit disc that are simoultaneously symmetric and Kahane. Nevertheless their construction is very indirect. We give an explicit example of such measures by mean...

Let D be a bounded homogeneous domain in C. In this paper, we study the bounded and the compact weighted composition operators mapping the Hardy space H∞(D) into the Bloch space of D. We characterize the bounded weighted composition operators, provide operator norm estimates, and give sufficient conditions for compactness. We prove that these conditions are necessary in the case of the unit bal...

Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions on the unit ball B Cn. We investigate the following integral operators: Tg( f )(z)= ∫ 1 0 f (tz) g(tz)(dt/t), Lg( f )(z)= ∫ 1 0 f (tz)g(tz)(dt/t), f H(B), z B, where g H(B), and h(z)= ∑n j=1 zj(∂h/∂zj)(z) is the radial derivative of h. The operator Tg can be considered as an extension of the Cesàro operator on the unit disk. The boundedness...

A new interpolation problem is defined for the Bloch space and some partial results are obtained. §

Particles in a perfect lattice potential perform Bloch oscillations when subject to a constant force, leading to localization and preventing conductivity. For a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate of Cs atoms, we observe giant center-of-mass oscillations in position space with a displacement across hundreds of lattice sites when we add a periodic modulation to the force near the Bloch f...

In this article, the homogenization process of periodic structures is analyzed using Bloch waves in the case of system of linear elasticity in three dimensions. The Bloch wave method for homogenization relies on the regularity of the lower Bloch spectrum. For the three dimensional linear elasticity system, the first eigenvalue is degenerate of multiplicity three and hence existence of such a re...

In this letter we address the issue that whether the topological number of a static Hamiltonian can be measured from a dynamical quench process. We focus on a two-band Chern insulator in twodimension, for instance, the Haldane model, whose quantum state is a pseudo-spin on the Bloch sphere. The dynamical process is described by a mapping from the [kx, ky, t] space to the Bloch sphere, character...

The classical problem of homogenization deals with elliptic operators in periodically oscillating media of small period ε > 0 and the asymptotic behavior of solution u of boundary value problems associated with such operators. In a previous work [5], the authors introduced what is called Bloch approximation which provided energy norm approximation for the solution in R . This paper continues wi...
