We define $\overline{\psi}$ to be the multiplicative arithemtic function that satisfies \[\overline{\psi}(p^{\alpha})=\begin{cases} p^{\alpha-1}(p+1), & \mbox{if } p\neq 2; \\ p^{\alpha-1}, & \mbox{if } p=2 \end{cases}\] for all primes $p$…
We give a proof the monodromy conjecture relating the poles of motivic zeta functions with roots of b-functions for isolated quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces, and more generally for semi-quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces. We also give a strange…
Motivated by open questions in the papers " Refinements and sharpenings of some double inequalities for bounding the gamma function" and "Complete monotonicity and monotonicity of two functions defined by two derivatives of a function…
We establish two structural majorization relations, which we call precursors, underlying the properties of supermodularity and subadditivity on the lattice induced by majorization. These are precursors in that they immediately imply that…
We investigate uniform ergodic type theorems for additive and subadditive functions on a subshift over a finite alphabet. We show that every strictly ergodic subshift admits a uniform ergodic theorem for Banach-space-valued additive…
In this paper, we compute the special values of $L$-functions at $s=1$ of some theta products of weight $3$, and express them in terms of special values of generalized hypergeometric functions.
Recently Sarah Bockting-Conrad introduced the double lowering operator $\psi$ for a tridiagonal pair. Motivated by $\psi$ we consider the following problem about polynomials. Let $\mathbb F$ denote an algebraically closed field. Let $x$…
We provide, under minimal continuity assumptions, a description of \textsl{additive partition entropies}. They are real functions $I$ on the set of finite partitions that are additive on stochastically independent partitions in a given…
This paper is a contribution to the study of the relations between special functions, Lie algebras and rigged Hilbert spaces. The discrete indices and continuous variables of special functions are in correspondence with the representations…
Given a multiplicative function $f$, we let $S(x,f)=\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ be the associated partial sum. In this note, we show that lower bounds on partial sums of divisor-bounded functions result in lower bounds on the partial sums…
We establish a sub-convexity estimate for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the combined level aspect, using the circle method. If $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers, $f$ and $g$ are non-exceptional newforms (modular or Maass) for the…
We prove that on a compact K\"ahler manifold, the non-pluripolar Monge-Amp\`ere mass of a $\theta$-psh function decreases as the singularities increase. This was conjectured by Boucksom-Eyssidieux-Guedj-Zeriahi who proved it under the…
Let $\omega_\varphi^k(f,\delta)_{w,L_q}$ be the Ditzian-Totik modulus with weight $w$, $M^k$ be the cone of $k$-monotone functions on $(-1,1)$, i.e., those functions whose $k$th divided differences are nonnegative for all selections of…
A classical additive basis question is Waring's problem. It has been extended to integer polynomial and non-integer power sequences. In this paper, we will consider a wider class of functions, namely functions from a Hardy field, and show…
We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…
In this paper, we obtain the subadditivity inequality of strongly operator convex functions on $(0, \infty)$ and $(-\infty,0)$. Applying the properties of operator convex functions, we deduce the subadditivity property of operator monotone…
A class of functions involving the divided differences of the psi function and the polygamma functions and originating from Kershaw's double inequality are proved to be completely monotonic. As applications of these results, the…
We consider the q-hypergeometric equation with q^{N}=1 and $\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in {\Bbb Z}$. We solve this equation on the space of functions given by a power series multiplied by a power of the logarithmic function. We prove that the…
In the paper, the authors review origins, motivations, and generalizations of a series of inequalities involving several exponential functions and sums, establish three new inequalities involving finite exponential functions and sums by…
A real-valued set function is (additively) approximately submodular if it satisfies the submodularity conditions with an additive error. Approximate submodularity arises in many settings, especially in machine learning, where the function…
