Using the notion of $S_\xi$-strictly singular operator introduced by Androulakis, Dodos, Sirotkin and Troitsky, we define an ordinal index on the subspace of strictly singular operators between two separable Banach spaces. In our main…

We study approximation properties of linear sampling operators in the spaces $L_p$ for $1\le p<\infty$. By means of the Steklov averages, we introduce a new measure of smoothness that simultaneously contains information on the smoothness of…

We present a general approach for proving the optimality of the exponents on weighted estimates. We show that if an operator $T$ satisfies a bound like $$ \|T\|_{L^{p}(w)}\le c\, [w]^{\beta}_{A_p} \qquad w \in A_{p}, $$ then the optimal…

Summability methods for ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, defined in terms of a strongly regular sequence $\mathbb{M}=(M_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}_0}$, have been put forward by A. Lastra, S. Malek and the second author (Summability in general…

We provide a sharp and optimal generic bound for the angle of the sectorial form associated to a non-symmetric second-order elliptic differential operator with various boundary conditions. Consequently this gives an, in general, sharper…

In this paper we investigate the probability distribution of the sum $Y$ of $\ell$ independent identically distributed random variables taking values in $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Our main focus is the regime of small values of $\ell$, which is less…

We obtain Schwarz-Pick lemma for $(\alpha, \beta)$-harmonic functions u in the disc, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex parameters satisfying $\Re \alpha + \Re \beta > -1$. We prove sharp estimate of derivative at the origin for such…

It is shown that if $1<p<\infty$ and $X$ is a subspace or a quotient of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of finite dimensional Banach spaces, then for any compact operator $T$ on $X$ such that $\|I+T\|>1$, the operator $I+T$ attains its norm. A…

We investigate inexact proximity operators for weakly convex functions. To this aim, we derive sum rules for proximal {\epsilon}-subdifferentials, by incorporating the moduli of weak convexity of the functions into the respective formulas.…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…

Let $F(\sigma)$ be the random Dirichlet series $F(\sigma)=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}} \frac{X_p}{p^\sigma}$, where $\mathcal{P}$ is an increasing sequence of positive real numbers and $(X_p)_{p\in\mathcal{P}}$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random…

Using the Arthur-Selberg trace formula we express the index of a Dirac operator on an arithmetic quotient over a totally real field with at least two real embeddings as the integral over the index form plus a sum of orbital integrals. For…

We show that the formula for the essential norm of a multiplication operator on $L_p$, for $1<p<\infty$, also holds for $p=1$. We also provide a proof for the formula which works simultaneously for all $p\in[1,\infty)$.

We study the $\ell^\infty \to \ell^\infty$ operator norm of products of independent random matrices with independent and identically distributed entries. For $n$-by-$n$ matrices whose entries are centered, have unit variance, and have a…

We show that every unconditional basis in a finite direct sum $\bigoplus_{p\in A} \ell_p$, with $A\subset (0,\infty]$, splits into unconditional bases of each summand. This settles a 40 year old question raised in [A. Orty\'nski,…

We show that a finite zero-sum-free sequence $\alpha$ over an abelian group has at least $c|\alpha|^{4/3}$ distinct subsequence sums, unless $\alpha$ is "controlled" by a small number of its terms; here $|\alpha|$ denotes the number of…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded connected open subset in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. Suppose that we have a system of real smooth vector fields $X=(X_{1},X_{2},$ $\cdots,X_{m})$ defined on a neighborhood of…

We generalize Frenkel's integral formula for traces of operators to operators. The resulting formula holds for bounded self-adjoint positive operators and $p$-Schatten class of compact positive operators.

Let $d(n)$ be the Dirichlet divisor function and $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term of the sum $\sum_{n\leqslant x}d(n)$ for a large real variable $x$. In this paper we focus on the sum $\sum_{p\leqslant x}\Delta^2(p)$, where $p$ runs over…

For a prime $p$, we consider Kloosterman sums $$ K_{p}(a) = \sum_{x\in \F_p^*} \exp(2 \pi i (x + ax^{-1})/p), \qquad a \in \F_p^*, $$ over a finite field of $p$ elements. It is well known that due to results of Deligne, Katz and Sarnak, the…
