Wir führen eine neue Unterklasse der Fourier Hyperfunktionen mit polynomialen Wachstumsbedingungen ein mit dem Ziel, asymptotische Entwicklungen von Hyperfunktionen studieren zu wollen, wie sie für gewisse Distributionenklassen bekannt sind. Wir entwickeln zuerst die Theorie analytischer Funktionale auf Räumen integrabler Funktionen bezüglich Maßen mit Wachstum O(|Re z|^gamma), wobei gamma in R ist, im Unendlichen. Ein an das berühmte Phragmén-Lindelöf-Prinzip erinnerndes, einfaches analytisches Resultat bildet die Basis der Dualitätstheorie dieser Räume zu Funktionen mit festgelegtem Wachstumstyp. Wir studieren diese Dualität analytischer Funktionale mit Wachstumsbedingungen und unbeschränkten Trägern gründlich in einer Dimension unter Verwendung des von den Fourier Hyperfunktionen her bekannten exponentiell abfallenden Cauchy-Hilbert-Kerns. Daraus ergeben sich Analoga zu den Theoremen von Runge und Mittag-Leffler, die die Grundlage für die Garbentheorie der Hyperfunktionen mit polynomialen Wachstumsbedingungen sind, die wir sodann entwickeln. Die für uns wichtigsten neuen Klassen von Fourier Hyperfunktionen sind die von unendlichem Typ, das heißt solche, die wie eine beliebige Potenz wachsen beziehungsweise schneller als jede Potenz abfallen. In n Dimensionen benutzen wir die Fouriertransformation und Dualität um das Verhältnis dieser temperierten beziehungsweise asymptotischen Hyperfunktionen zu bekannten Distributionenräumen zu studieren. Wir leiten Theoreme vom Paley-Wiener-Typ her, die es uns erlauben, unsere Hyperfunktionen in ein Schema zu ordnen, das Wachstumsordnung und Singularität gegenüberstellt. Wir zeigen, daß dieses Schema eine sinvolle Erweiterung des von Gelfand und Shilow zur Charakterisierung von Testfunktionenräumen eingeführten Schemas der Räume S(alpha,beta) um verallgemeinerte Funktionen ist. Schließlich zeigen wir die Nuklearität der temperierten und asymptotischen Hyperfunktionen. Wir zeigen, daß die asymptotischen Hyperfunktionen genau die Klasse bilden, die Moment-asymptotische Entwicklungen erlauben, wie sie von Estrada et al. für Distributionen betrachtet wurden. Estradas Theorie ist damit ein Spezialfall der unsrigen. Für Hyperfunktionen lassen sich aber dank des Konzeptes der standard definierenden Funktionen die Moment-asymptotischen Entwicklungen als klassische asymptotische Entwicklungen von analytischen Funktionen verstehen. Wir zeigen die einfache Beziehung zwischen der Moment-asymptotischen Entwicklung und der Taylorentwicklung der Fouriertransformierten und benutzen dann ein Resultat von Estrada, um die Vollständigkeit unseres Moment-asymptotischen Schemas abzuleiten. Wir geben genaue Bedingungen für die Moment-Folgen von Hyperfunktionen mit kompaktem Träger an, die kürzlich von Kim et al. gefunden wurden. Die asymptotischen Entwicklungen übertragen wir auf den höherdimensionalen Fall, indem wir die von Kaneko und Takiguchi eingeführte Radontransformation für Hyperfunktionen verwenden. Die wohlbekannte Beziehung zwischen Radon- und Fouriertransformation zeigt wiederum das enge Verhältnis von asymptotischer Entwicklung zur Taylorentwicklung der Fouriertransformierten. Wir benutzen Kims Resultate, um die Moment-Folgen von Hyperfunktionen zu charakterisieren, die von Kugeln mit endlichem Radius getragen werden. Schließlich verwenden wir das Träger-Theorem der Radontransformation, um ein Resultat über das Singularitätenspektrum aus Bedingungen an die Radontransformierte abzuleiten.

The dynamical quantum Zeno effect is studied in the context of von Neumann algebras. It is shown that the Zeno dynamics coincides with the modular dynamics of a localized subalgebra. This relates the modular operator of that subalgebra to the modular operator of the original algebra by a variant of the Kato-Lie-Trotter product formula.
We present an overview of the mathematics underlying the quantum Zeno effect. Classical, functional analytic results are put into perspective and compared with more recent ones. This yields some new insights into mathematical preconditions entailing the Zeno paradox, in particular a simplified proof of Misra's and Sudarshan's theorem. We empahsise the complex-analytic structures associated to the issue of existence of the Zeno dynamics. On grounds of the assembled material, we reason about possible future mathematical developments pertaining to the Zeno paradox and its counterpart, the anti-Zeno paradox, both of which seem to be close to complete characterisations.

We study the quantum Zeno effect in quantum statistical mechanics within the operator algebraic framework. We formulate a condition for the appearance of the effect in W*-dynamical systems, in terms of the short-time behaviour of the dynamics. Examples of quantum spin systems show that this condition can be effectively applied to quantum statistical mechanical models. Furthermore, we derive an explicit form of the Zeno generator, and use it to construct Gibbs equilibrium states for the Zeno dynamics. As a concrete example, we consider the X-Y model, for which we show that a frequent measurement at a microscopic level, e.g. a single lattice site, can produce a macroscopic effect in changing the global equilibrium.

We reconsider estimates for the heat kernel on weighted graphs recently found by Metzger and Stollmann. In the case that the weights satisfy a positive lower bound as well as a finite upper bound, we obtain a specialized lower estimate and a proper generalization of a previous upper estimate.

This paper starts out by pointing out the challenges and weaknesses which the German banking systems faces according to the prevailing views among national and international observers. These challenges include a generalproblem of profitability and, possibly as its main reason, the strong role of public banks. These concerns raise the questions whether the facts support this assessment of a general profitability problem and whether there are reasons to expect a fundamental or structural transformation of the German banking system. The paper contains four sections. The first one presents the evidence concerning the profitability problem in a comparative, international perspective. The second section presents information about the so-called three-pillar system of German banking. What might be surprising in this context is that the group of pub lic banks is not only the largest segment of the German banking system, but that the primary savings banks also are its financially most successful part. The German banking system is highly fragmented. This fact suggests to discuss past, present and possible future consolidations in the banking system in the third section. The authors provide evidence to the effect that within- group consolidation has been going on at a rapid pace in the public and the cooperative banking groups in recent years and that this development has not yet come to an end, while within-group consolidation among the large private banks, consolidation across group boundaries at a national level and cross-border or international consolidation has so far only happened at a limited scale, and do not appear to gain momentum in the near future. In the last section, the authors develop their explanation for the fact that large-scale and cross border consolidation has so far not materialized to any great extent. Drawing on the concept of complementarity, they argue that it would be difficult to expect these kinds of mergers and acquisitions happening within a financial system which is itself surprisingly stable, or, as one cal also call it, resistant to change.
A widely recognized paper by Colin Mayer (1988) has led to a profound revision of academic thinking about financing patterns of corporations in different countries. Using flow-of-funds data instead of balance sheet data, Mayer and others who followed his lead found that internal financing is the dominant mode of financing in all countries, that financing patterns do not differ very much between countries and that those differences which still seem to exist are not at all consistent with the common conviction that financial systems can be classified as being either bank-based or capital market-based. This leads to a puzzle insofar as it calls into question the empirical foundation of the widely held belief that there is a correspondence between the financing patterns of corporations on the one side, and the structure of the financial sector and the prevailing corporate governance system in a given country on the other side. The present paper addresses this puzzle on a methodological and an empirical basis. It starts by comparing and analyzing various ways of measuring financial structure and financing patterns and by demonstrating that the surprising empirical results found by studies that relied on net flows are due to a hidden assumption. It then derives an alternative method of measuring financing patterns, which also uses flow-of-funds data, but avoids the questionable assumption. This measurement concept is then applied to patterns of corporate financing in Germany, Japan and the United States. The empirical results, which use an estimation technique for determining gross flows of funds in those cases in which empirical data are not available, are very much in line with the commonly held belief prior to Mayer’s influential contribution and indicate that the financial systems of the three countries do indeed differ from one another in a substantial way, and moreover in a way which is largely in line with the general view of the differences between the financial systems of the countries covered in the present paper.
