We prove that if $f$ is a non zero cusp form of weight $k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ with character $\chi$ such that $N/(\text{conductor }\chi)$ square-free, then there exists a square-free $n\ll_{\epsilon} k^{3+\epsilon}N^{7/2+\epsilon}$ such that…

A finite set $A$ of integers is square-sum-free if there is no subset of $A$ sums up to a square. In 1986, Erd\H os posed the problem of determining the largest cardinality of a square-sum-free subset of $\{1, ..., n \}$. Answering this…

We develop a theory of partially defined complete positivity preservers, extending Schoenberg's classical characterization to functions defined only on discrete subsets or constrained domains. We frame the extension problem through the…

Given a subset $S=\{s_0, s_1\}$ of the complex plane with two points and an infinite subset ${\mathscr S}$ of $S\times {\mathbb N}$, where ${\mathbb N}=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ is the set of nonnegative integers, we ask for a lower bound for the…

We summarize the usual implementations of the large $N$ limit of $O(N)$ models and show in detail why and how they can miss some physically important fixed points when they become singular in the limit $N\to\infty$. Using Wilson's…

Let $V$ be a real algebraic variety with singularities and $f$ be a real polynomial non-negative on $V$. Assume that the regular locus of $V$ is dense in $V$ by the usual topology. Using Hironaka's resolution of singularities and…

We study the one-level density for families of L-functions associated with cubic Dirichlet characters defined over the Eisenstein field. We show that the family of $L$-functions associated with the cubic residue symbols $\chi_n$ with $n$…

It is known due to Baker and Montgomery that almost all Fekete polynomials under certain ordering have at least one zero on the interval (0, 1). In terms of the positive-definiteness, Fekete polynomial has no zero on the interval (0, 1) if…

Our starting point is a theorem of de Leeuw and Rudin that describes the extreme points of the unit ball in the Hardy space $H^1$. We extend this result to subspaces of $H^1$ formed by functions with smaller spectra. More precisely, given a…

On a closed manifold, consider the space of all Riemannian metrics for which -Delta + kR is positive (nonnegative) definite, where k > 0 and R is the scalar curvature. This spectral generalization of positive (nonnegative) scalar curvature…

We prove a skew generalization of the Newton-Puiseux theorem for the field $F = \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{C}((x^\frac{1}{n}))$ of Puiseux series: For any positive real number $\alpha$, we consider the $\mathbb{C}$-automorphism $\sigma$…

Let $X=\{ X_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ be zero-mean stationary Gaussian sequence of random variables with covariance function $\rho$ satisfying $\rho(0)=1$. Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function such that…

We study the properties of points in $[0,1]^d$ generated by applying Hilbert's space-filling curve to uniformly distributed points in $[0,1]$. For deterministic sampling we obtain a discrepancy of $O(n^{-1/d})$ for $d\ge2$. For random…

Let $S_n f$ be the $n$th partial sum of the Fourier series of a function $f$ in $L^1(\D)$, where $\D$ is the ring of integers of a local field $K$. For $1<p<\infty$, we characterize all weight functions $w$ so that the partial sum operators…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

We prove Grauert-Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorems for excellent dlt threefolds pairs whose closed points have perfect residue fields of positive characteristic $p>5$. Then we discuss applications to dlt singularities and to Mori…

We study the problem of prescribing $\sigma_k$-curvature for a conformal metric on the standard sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ with $2 \leq k < n/2$ and $n \geq 5$ in axisymmetry. Compactness, non-compactness, existence and non-existence results are…

We show the consistency of ZFC +''there is no NWD-ultrafilter on omega'', which means: for every non principle ultrafilter D on the set of natural numbers, there is a function f from the set of natural numbers to the reals, such that for…

Given any non-polynomial $G$-function $F(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty A\_k z^k$ of radius of convergence $R$, we consider the $G$-functions $F\_n^{[s]}(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty \frac{A\_k}{(k+n)^s}z^k$ for any integers $s\geq 0$ and $n\geq 1$. For…

We consider the well-known method of least squares on an equidistant grid with $N+1$ nodes on the interval $[-1,1]$ with the goal to approximate a function $f\in\mathcal{C}\left[-1,1\right]$ by a polynomial of degree $n$. We investigate the…
