Given a finite abelian group $G$ and a Sylow $p$-subgroup $N_p$, we prove that the $KU_G/p$-local sphere spectrum is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of a $p$-complete $KO_{N_p}$-module spectrum. Then we compute the…

We exploit the connection between quantum dot Dirac operators and $\overline\partial$-Robin Laplacians. First, we find a graphical relation between their smallest positive eigenvalues, which allows us to deduce a recipe for translating…

Holographic coherent X-ray imaging enables nanoscale imaging of biological cells and tissues, rendering both phase and absorption contrast, i.e. real and imaginary parts of the refractive index. Unlike the standard model, which assumes a…

In this note, we give short proofs of three theorems concerning extremal problems in the Johnson scheme, or, in other terminology, on $(n,k,L)$-systems. The main result is a proof of the Aljohani--Bamberg--Cameron conjecture which claims…

The shallow-water system is a standard model for long waves in shallow water. The system is hyperbolic and, for a large class of initial data, solutions develop steep gradients leading to shock formation in finite time. Since such…

We analyze how the interaction between local and nonlocal dispersions, combined with different types of nonlinearities, influences the smoothing effects of solutions. To achieve this goal, we consider a model that generalizes the KdV and…

We study positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem $-\Delta u = u^p$ in a uniformly convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb S^2$, $u= 0$ on $\partial\Omega.$ For $p=1$, we assume that the right-hand side is replaced by $\lambda_1 u$, where…

We extend the notion of mex, which is central in combinatorial number theory, to an arbitrary combinatorial structure, and we prove a general theorem to determine the generating function of the objects having fixed mex. We then study this…

In this paper, we consider the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with fritional dissipation $(-\Delta)^{\beta}$ with $\beta>\frac{1}{2}$. When $\beta\in(1,2)$, We prove that smooth solutions of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations are…

We consider Subtraction Nim, where two players have exactly the same options, but which is partizan in the sense that at the game ending, a partizan rule is applied for the decision of the winner. We consider the following example: Let $S$…

We establish the existence of solutions of the 2D incompressible non-homogeneous Euler equations with $C^{0}_{t}C^{1,\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}-1-\varepsilon}_{x}\cap C^{0}_{t}L^{2}_{x}$ source terms that develop a singularity in finite time. In…

We study a question of Harju from 2019 regarding the existence of infinite ternary square-free words whose subsequences modulo $p$ and $q$ are also square-free for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$. Among such pairs $(p, q)$ with $p, q…

We introduce variants of the Maker-Breaker and Waiter-Client games, which we call \emph{stotting}, in which a player grants a slight advantage to the opponent. We prove that a winning strategy in either stotting variant yields winning…

The term Gibbons conjecture is widely used in connection with symmetry results for the Allen-Cahn equation. However, its origin is less transparent than its frequent citation suggests. In this note, we revisit its emergence, tracing it to a…

In this work, we analyze a diffuse-interface model for tumor growth, subject to multiplicative white noises, posed on a bounded domain $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$. The model couples a stochastic incompressible convective…

We consider the weighted $p$-Laplacian associated with a measure $\mu$ that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on an open connected subset $X\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove that Talenti's weighted…

We investigate critical polyharmonic equations of the following type: $$ Lu = |u|^{2^\sharp-2} u \quad \text{ in } \Omega $$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Here $L$ is an elliptic…

Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we asymptotically determine $\log \Pr(|\mathbb{N} \setminus (A + A)| \ge m)$ for $p$ above the threshold for this property. The proof is based on a bespoke container…

Let $G_1$ denote the incidence graph of the complete graph $K_{q+1}$. We study limited augmented Zarankiewicz numbers in this family by combining exact 0--1 ILP computations for the smallest cases with a constructive search procedure…

We derive the local and central limit theorems for the Stirling numbers of the second kind by elementary means, obtaining as corollaries effective asymptotic estimates for the Bell numbers and for the moments of the distribution. We also…
