The Hardy-Littlewood majorant problem has a positive answer only for expo- nents p which are even integers, while there are counterexamples for all p =2 2N. Montgomery conjectured that even among the idempotent polynomials there must exist…

Consider a trigonometric polynomial f of degree N, and associate to it the polynomial F in which each coefficient of f is replaced by its absolute value. F is called the majorant of f. We show that the L^3 norm of f can be larger than that…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequalities for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}$ spaces are known just for $p>m$. The critical case $p=m$ was overlooked for obvious technical reasons and, up to now, the only known estimate is the trivial one. In this…

The Hardy-Littlewood majorant problem asks whether L^p norms of functions on the circle grow if one replaces their Fourier coefficients with their absolute values. This is clear if p is an even integer, but false if p is any other number.…

In Ehrhart theory, the well-known sign pattern problem asks: given a positive integer $d\geq 3$ and integers $1 \leq i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq d-2$, does there exist a $d$-dimensional integral polytope $\mathcal{P}$ such that in its Ehrhart…

For $p,q\geq2$, the Hardy and Littlewood inequalities for real bilinear forms, in its unified formulation, assert that there is a constant $C_{p,q}\geq1$ such that \begin{equation}…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for complex homogeneous polynomials asserts that given positive integers $m\geq2$ and $n\geq1$, if $P$ is a complex homogeneous polynomial of degree $m$ on $\ell_{p}^{n}$ with $2m\leq p\leq\infty$ given by…

Let f be a sum of exponentials of the form exp(2 pi i N x), where the N are distinct integers. We call f an idempotent trigonometric polynomial (because the convolution of f with itself is f) or, simply, an idempotent. We show that for…

We prove that for all p>1/2 there exists a constant $\gamma_p>0$ such that, for any symmetric measurable set of positive measure $E\subset \TT$ and for any $\gamma<\gamma_p$, there is an idempotent trigonometrical polynomial f satisfying…

This is a companion paper of a recent one, entitled {\sl Integral concentration of idempotent trigonometric polynomials with gaps}. New results of the present work concern $L^1$ concentration, while the above mentioned paper deals with…

Let $|| \cdot ||$ denote the distance to the nearest integer and, for a prime number $p$, let $| \cdot |_p$ denote the $p$-adic absolute value. In 2004, de Mathan and Teuli\'e asked whether $\inf_{q \ge 1} \, q \cdot || q \alpha || \cdot |…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-homogeneous polynomials on $\ell_{p}$ spaces is valid for $p>m.$ In this note, among other results, we present an optimal version of this inequality for the case $p=m.$ We also show that the optimal…

In 2006 Carbery raised a question about an improvement on the na\"ive norm inequality $\|f+g\|_p^p \leq 2^{p-1}(\|f\|_p^p + \|g\|_p^p)$ for two functions in $L^p$ of any measure space. When $f=g$ this is an equality, but when the supports…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…

We study a variant of the majorization relation. In particular we consider inequalities involving some Schur-concave symmetric polynomials related to the multinomial expansion. We also discuss how these topics were motivated by conjectures…

The aim of this paper is to exhibit a wide class of sparse deterministic sets, $\mathbf B \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, so that \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} N^{-1}|\mathbf B \cap [1,N]|= 0, \] for which the Hardy--Littlewood majorant property holds:…

We describe the idempotent Fourier multipliers that act contractively on $H^p$ spaces of the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ for $d\geq 1$ and $1\leq p \leq \infty$. When $p$ is not an even integer, such multipliers are just…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell _{p}$ spaces and $m<p\leq 2m$ asserts that \begin{equation*} \left( \sum_{j_{1},...,j_{m}=1}^{\infty }\left\vert T\left( e_{j_{1}},\ldots ,e_{j_{m}}\right) \right\vert…

In this article we present a new proof of a sharp Reverse H\"older Inequality for $A_\infty$ weights that is valid in the context of spaces of homogeneous type. Then we derive two applications: a precise open property of Muckenhoupt classes…
