Analysis Qualifying Examination, March 2014 Instructions: Solve any 10 problems from the list of 12 below. Each problems is worth ten points; parts of a problem do not carry equal weight. You must tell us which 10 problems you want us to grade. Problem 1; Consider a measure space (X,) with a sigma-finite measure je and, for cach t € R, let e; denote the characteristic function of the interval (t,00). Prove that if fg: X > Rare X-measurable, then |f — gllncx) = fa lleeo f —& ogni dt. Problem 2: Let f € 14(R, dx) and 6 € (0,1). Prove that i Hdl ae <00 I [eal for (Lebesgue) 20.0 € R. Problem 3: Let [2,1] CR be a finite interval and let f: a,b] + R be a bounded Borel measurable function. (1) Prove that {x € [a,b]: f continuous at x} is Borel measurable. (2) Prove that f is Riemann integrable if and only if it is continuous almost every- where. Problem 4: (a) Consider a sequence {aq: 1 > 1} < [0,1]. For f € C((0, 1]), let us denote eA = L2"Flm). sat Prove that there is no g € L!((0,1),dx) such that g(f) = J f(x)g(x) dx is true for all Ff €C([0,1]). (b) Each g € L*((0,1],dx) defines a continuous functional T, on L*((0, 1], dx) by TEN) = f Fos(a) ax Show that there are continuous functionals on :°((0,1]) that are not of this form. Problem 5: Recall that a metric space is separable if it contains a countable dense subset. (a) Prove that (IN) and ¢2(IN) are separable Banach spaces but (IN) is not. (b) Prove that there exists no linear bounded surjective map T : (2(IN) — £2(IN).Problem 6; Given a Hilbert space 1, let {@,}n21 C 1 be a sequence with ||a,|| = 1 for all 2 1. Recall that the closed convex hull of {a,},>1 is the closure of the set of all convex combinations of elements in {dy}. 2) Show that if {an}, spans 1 linearly (ie, any x € 1 is of the form Ef! ,cyq,, for some m and c; € C), then 21 is finite dimensional. (b) Show that if (aq,2) + 0 for all ¢ € , then 0 isin the closed convex hull of {a4}. Problem 7: Characterize all entire functions f with |f(z)| > 0 for |z| large and log f(z limsup besiétol <0 Problem 8: Construct a non-constant entire function f(z) such that the zeros of f are simple and coincide with the set of all (positive) natural numbers. Problem 9: Prove Hurwitz’ Theorem: Let ¢ C bea connected open set and fy, f: Q—> C holomorphic functions. Assume that fy(2) converges uniformly to f(z) on compact subsets of Q. Prove that if fy(z) # 0, Vz € 0, ¥n, then either f is identically equal to 0, or f(z) #0,V2€ 0. Problem 10: Let a € {0,1] \Qand let {a,} € #(N) with a, 4 0 for all n > 1. Set D:= {2 €€: |z| < 1}. Show that converges and defines a function that is analytic in ID which does not admit an analytic continuation to any domain larger than Problem 11; For each p € (~1,1), compute the improper Riemann integral co xP hee Problem 12: Compute the number of zeros, including multiplicity, of f(2) in the upper half plane in C.
