The Bohr radius of the nn-dimensional polydisk is equivalent to log⁡nn\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{n}}

We show that the Bohr radius of the polydisk $\mathbb D^n$ behaves asymptotically as $\sqrt{(\log n)/n}$. Our argument is based on a new interpolative approach to the Bohnenblust--Hille inequalities which allows us to prove that the polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality is subexponential.Comment: The introduction was expanded and some misprints correcte

On the minimal number of matrices which form a locally hypercyclic, non-hypercyclic tuple

In this paper we extend the notion of a locally hypercyclic operator to that of a locally hypercyclic tuple of operators. We then show that the class of hypercyclic tuples of operators forms a proper subclass to that of locally hypercyclic tuples of operators. What is rather remarkable is that in every finite dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, a pair of commuting matrices exists which forms a locally hypercyclic, non-hypercyclic tuple. This comes in direct contrast to the case of hypercyclic tuples where the minimal number of matrices required for hypercyclicity is related to the dimension of the vector space. In this direction we prove that the minimal number of diagonal matrices required to form a hypercyclic tuple on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is $n+1$, thus complementing a recent result due to Feldman.Comment: 15 pages, title changed, section for infinite dimensional spaces adde

Impact of pump OSNR on noise figure for fiber-optical parametric amplifiers

Electrical measurements of the noise figure of a fiberoptical parametric amplifier are presented and compared with optical measurements. The transfer of pump noise by four-wave mixing was clearly demonstrated. A numerical model was developed to simulate the transfer of pump noise and validated by these measurements. Using this model, we determine, for practical systems, a minimum required pump optical signal-to-noise ratio of 65 dB

Impact of pump phase modulation on system performance of fibre-optical parametric amplifiers

Bit error rate induced in a parametric amplifier has been measured with a 10 Gbit=s line rate. It is shown experimentally that the phase modulation of the pump distorts the mark level of the channel and may cause system penalty. Different phase modulation schemes have been compared

Almost sure-sign convergence of Hardy-type Dirichlet series

[EN] Hartman proved in 1939 that the width of the largest possible strip in the complex plane on which a Dirichlet series is uniformly a.s.- sign convergent (i.e., converges uniformly for almost all sequences of signs epsilon (n) = +/- 1) but does not convergent absolutely, equals 1/2. We study this result from a more modern point of view within the framework of so-called Hardytype Dirichlet series with values in a Banach space.Supported by CONICET-PIP 11220130100329CO, PICT 2015-2299 and UBACyT 20020130100474BA.

A note on abscissas of Dirichlet series

[EN] We present an abstract approach to the abscissas of convergence of vector-valued Dirichlet series. As a consequence we deduce that the abscissas for Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series are all equal. We also introduce and study weak versions of the abscissas for scalar-valued Dirichlet series.A.

Hypercyclic algebras for convolution and composition operators

[EN] We provide an alternative proof to those by Shkarin and by Bayart and Matheron that the operator D of complex differentiation supports a hypercyclic algebra on the space of entire functions. In particular we obtain hypercyclic algebras for many convolution operators not induced by polynomials, such as , , or , where . In contrast, weighted composition operators on function algebras of analytic functions on a plane domain fail to support supercyclic algebras.This work is supported in part by MEC, Project MTM 2016-7963-P.

Multipliers of Dirichlet series and monomial series expansions of holomorphic functions in infinitely many variables

[EN] Let H-infinity be the set of all ordinary Dirichlet series D = Sigma(n) a(n)(n-1) ann-s representing bounded holomorphic functions on the right half plane. A completely multiplicative sequence (b(n)) of complex numbers is said to be an l(1)-multiplier for H-infinity whenever Sigma(n vertical bar)a(n)b(n vertical bar) < infinity for every D is an element of H-infinity. We study the problem of describing such sequences (b(n)) in terms of the asymptotic decay of the subsequence (b(pj)), where p(j) denotes the j th prime number. Given a completely multiplicative sequence b = (b(n)) we prove (among other results): b is an l(1)-multiplier for H-infinity provided vertical bar b(pj)vertical bar < 1 for all j and (lim(n)) over bar 1/log(n) Sigma(n)(j=1) b(p j)*(2) < 1, and conversely, if b is an l(1)-multiplier for H-infinity, then vertical bar b(pj)vertical bar < 1 for all j and (lim(n)) over bar 1/log(n) Sigma(n)(j=1) b(p j)*(2) <= 1 (here b* stands for the decreasing rearrangement of b). Following an ingenious idea of Harald Bohr it turns out that this problem is intimately related with the question of characterizing those sequences z in the infinite dimensional polydisk D-infinity (the open unit ball of l(infinity)) for which every bounded and holomorphic function f on D-infinity has an absolutely convergent monomial series expansion Sigma(alpha) partial derivative alpha f (0)/alpha! z alpha. Moreover, we study analogous problems in Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series and Hardy spaces of functions on the infinite dimensional polytorus T-infinity.The second, fourth and fifth authors were supported by MINECO and FEDER Project MTM2014-57838-C2-2-P.
