A convex function $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the so-called Hermite-Hadamard inequality $$ f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^{b}f(t)dt\leq \frac{f(a)+f(b)}{2}. $$ Motivated by the above estimates, in this paper we…

The symmetry operators for the Laplacian in flat space were recently described and here we consider the same question for the square of the Laplacian. Again, there is a close connection with conformal geometry. There are three main steps in…

We examine the conditions under which the sum of random multiplicative functions in short intervals, given by $\sum_{x<n \leqslant x+y} f(n)$, exhibits the phenomenon of \textit{better than square-root cancellation}. We establish that the…

We prove prime exponential sums have no better than square root cancellation on average on short intervals, in the sense that $$\frac{1}{x} \sum_{-y< n\le x} \left|\sum_{\substack{n< m \le n+y\\ 1\le m \le x}} \Lambda(m) \mathrm{e}(\alpha…

Let $I$ and $J$ be two intervals, and let $f, g: I \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. If for any points $a$ and $b$ in $I$ and any positive numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p + q = 1$, we have \begin{align} \nonumber p f(a) + q f(b) + g(pa + qb) \in J,…

The role of the SO(2,1) symmetry in General Relativity is analyzed. Cosmological solutions of Einstein field equations invariant with respect to a space-like Lie algebra G_r, with r between 3 and 6 and containing so(2,1) as a subalgebra,…

We study the symmetry in short intervals of arithmetic functions with non-negative exponential sums.

We consider symmetron model in a generalized background with a hope to make it compatible with dark energy. We observe a "no go" theorem at least in case of a conformal coupling. Being convinced of symmetron incapability to be dark energy,…

We carry out in full generality and without fixing specific boundary conditions, the symmetry and charge analysis near a generic null surface for two and three dimensional (2d and 3d) gravity theories. In 2d and 3d there are respectively…

For any finite point set in $D$-dimensional space equipped with the 1-norm, we present random linear embeddings to $k$-dimensional space, with a new metric, having the following properties. For any pair of points from the point set that are…

For each $1\leq i \le n$, let $k_i\geq 1$ and let $\Delta_i$ be a set of vertices of a non-degenerate simplex of $k_i+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{k_i+1}$. If $A\subseteq [0,1]^{k_1+1}\times \cdots \times [0,1]^{k_n+1}$ is a Lebesgue…

Let f be an L^2-normalized Hecke--Maass cuspidal newform of level N and Laplace eigenvalue \lambda. It is shown that |f|_\infty <<_{\lambda, \epsilon} N^{-1/12 + \epsilon} for any \epsilon>0. The exponent is further improved in the case…

Given a subset $\Lambda$ of $\mathbb Z_+:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$, let $H^\infty(\Lambda)$ denote the space of bounded analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk whose coefficients $\widehat f(k)$ vanish for $k\notin\Lambda$. Assuming that either…

This paper contains bounds for the distortion in the spherical metric, that is to say bounds for the constant of Holder continuity of mappings f : (\Rn,q) -> (\Rn, q) where q denotes the spherical metric. The mappings considered are…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a cornerstone of modern physics, defining a wealth of phenomena in condensed-matter and high-energy physics, and beyond. It requires an infinite number of degrees of freedom, and even then, for continuous…

We introduce a geometric invariant that we call the index of symmetry, which measures how far is a Riemannian manifold from being a symmetric space. We compute, in a geometric way, the index of symmetry of compact naturally reductive…

Let $S\subset\R^d$ be a bounded subset with positive Lebesgue measure. The Paley-Wiener space associated to $S$, $PW_S$, is defined to be the set of all square-integrable functions on $\R^d$ whose Fourier transforms vanish outside $S$. A…

Given $h, N \in \mathbb{N}$ satisfying $1 \leqslant h \leqslant N^2$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions to the equation $x_1 x_2 - x_3 x_4 = h$ with $x_1, \ldots, x_4 \in [-N,N] \cap \mathbb{Z}$. We use a…

Symmetry is often treated in philosophy of physics as an interpretive problem. A particularly lively dispute concerns local symmetries: do they indicate surplus structure that ought to be expunged, or are they merely a harmless redundancy?…

Let $S_m f$ denote the $m$-th partial sum of the Walsh-Fourier series of $f \in L^1$. For an increasing sequence $a=(a(n))_{n \geq 1}$ of positive integers, consider the arithmetic means $$ \sigma_N f:=\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N S_{a(n)} f .…
