In a bounded domain $\Omega$, we consider a positive solution of the problem $\Delta u+f(u)=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a locally Lipschitz continuous function. Under sufficient conditions…

The century old extremal problem, solved by Carath\'eodory and Fej\'er, concerns a nonnegative trigonometric polynomial normalized by a0 = 1, and the quantity to be maximized is the coefficient a1. In the complex exponential form, the…

Let $1 \in A \subset B$ be an inclusion of C*-algebras of C*-index-finite type with depth 2. We try to compute topological stable rank of $B$ ($= \tsr(B)$) when $A$ has topological stable rank one. We show that $\tsr(B) \leq 2$ when $A$ is…

Let ${\cal P}_n^c$ denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ with complex coefficients. Let $$D^+ := \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1, \, \, \Im(z) \geq 0\}$$ be the closed upper half-disk of the complex plane. For…

We show that the normalised ultraspherical polynomials, $G_n^{(\lambda)}(x)=C_n^{(\lambda)}(x)/C_n^{(\lambda)}(1)$, satisfy the following stronger version of Tur\'{a}n inequality, $$|x|^\theta \left(G_n^{(\lambda)}(x)\right)^2…

We study numerically the Toner-Tu field theory where the density field is maintained constant, a limit case of "Malthusian" flocks for which the asymptotic scaling of correlation functions in the ordered phase is known exactly. While we…

A uniformly bounded complete orthonormal system of functions $\Theta =\{ \theta_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty},$ $ \|\theta_n\|_{L^\infty_{[0,1]} } \leq M $ is constructed such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n}\theta_{n}$ converges almost everywhere on…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

This note investigate some finiteness properties of the category U of unstable modules. One shows finiteness properties for the injective resolution of finitely generated unstable modules. One also shows a stabilization result under…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbf{C}$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary and let $F$ be an instance of the continuum Gaussian free field on $U$ with respect to the Dirichlet inner product $\int_U\nabla f(x)\cdot \nabla g(x)\,dx$. The set…

We use the theory of cubic structures to give a fixed point Riemann-Roch formula for the equivariant Euler characteristics of coherent sheaves on projective flat schemes over Z with a tame action of a finite abelian group. This formula…

By a result of Klyachko the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable bundles of rank two on the projective plane is determined. Using similar methods we extend this result to bundles of rank three. The fixed point components…

The group of homeomorphisms of the closed interval that are absolutely continuous and have an absolutely continuous inverse was shown by Solecki to admit a natural Polish group topology $\tau_{ac}$. We show that, under mild conditions on a…

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this paper we prove this conjecture for…

We bring new insights into the long-standing Alekseevskii conjecture, namely that any connected homogeneous Einstein manifold of negative scalar curvature is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean space, by proving structural results which are…

When a unital \ca $A$ has topological stable rank one (write $\tsr(A) = 1$), we know that $\tsr(pAp) \leq 1$ for a non-zero projection $p \in A$. When, however, $\tsr(A) \geq 2$, it is generally faluse. We prove that if a unital C*-algebra…

We show that for any abelian topological group $G$ and arbitrary diffused submeasure $\mu$, every continuous action of $L_0(\mu,G)$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This generalizes earlier results of Herer and Christensen, Glasner,…

For a connected reductive group $G$ defined over a non-archimedean local field $F$, we consider the Bernstein blocks in the category of smooth representations of $G(F)$. Bernstein blocks whose cuspidal support involves a regular…

For regular one-dimensional variational problems, Ball and Nadirashvilli introduced the notion of the universal singular set of a Lagrangian L and established its topological negligibility. This set is defined to be the set of all points in…

For an abelian topological group G let G^* denote the dual group of all continuous characters endowed with the compact open topology. Given a closed subset X of an infinite compact abelian group G such that w(X) < w(G) and an open…
