We prove that the HRT conjecture holds when the Gabor system consists of a 4-point set in the time-frequency plane and a square-integrable function that is ultimately positive. We also prove the conjecture for Gabor systems generated by an…

A conjecture posed by S. Hayajneh and F. Kittaneh claims that given $A,B$ positive matrices, $0\le t\le 1$, and any unitarily invariant norm it holds $|||A^tB^{1-t}+B^tA^{1-t}|||\le|||A^tB^{1-t}+A^{1-t}B^t|||$. Recently, R. Bhatia proved…

The Merino-Welsh conjecture states that for a graph $G$ without loops and bridges the Tutte polynomial $T_G(x,y)$ satisfies the inequality $$\max(T_G(2,0),T_G(0,2))\geqslant T_G(1,1).$$ Later Jackson proved that for any matroid $M$ without…

This work emphasizes that the transition voltages $V_{t \pm}$ for both bias polarities ($V${\raisebox{1.2ex}{$_{\stackrel{>}{<}}$}0}) should be used to properly determine the energy offset $\varepsilon_{0}$ of the molecular orbital closest…

According to two remarkable theorems of Nyman and B\'aez-Duarte, the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to a simply-stated criterion concerning least-squares approximation. In carrying out computations related to this criterion, we have…

The Bruggeman formalism provides an estimate $\eps^{Br}_{hcm}$ of the relative permittivity of a homogenized composite material (HCM), arising from two component materials with relative permittivities $\eps_a$ and $\eps_b$. It can be…

We study the generalization of $m$-isometries and $m$-contractions (for positive integers $m$) to what we call $a$-isometries and $a$-contractions for positive real numbers $a$. We show that any Hilbert space operator, satisfying an…

We prove a general Borg-type result for reflectionless unitary Cantero-Moral-Velazquez (CMV) operators U associated with orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. The spectrum of U is assumed to be a connected arc on the unit circle. This…

In this short note, we state a stable and a $\tau$-reduced version of the second Brauer-Thrall Conjecture. The former is a slight strengthening of a brick version of the second Brauer-Thrall Conjecture raised by Mousavand and…

We will show in this paper that if $\lambda$ is very close to 1, then $$I(M,\lambda,m)= \sup_{u\in H^{1,n}_0(M) ,\int_M|\nabla u|^ndV=1}\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n |u|^\frac{n}{n-1}}-\lambda\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\frac{|\alpha_nu^\frac{n}{n-1}|^k}…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients $d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}$…

We prove a local $Tb$ theorem for paraproducts acting on vector valued functions, with matrix weighted averaging operators. The condition on the weight is that its square is in the $L_2$ associated matrix $A_\infty$ class. We also introduce…

For a right-continuous nondecreasing and unbounded function $V$ of at most exponential growth, which vanishes on the negative halfline, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the Lebesgue-Stieltjes convolution powers $V^{\ast(j)}(t)$ as…

We consider an $n$ by $n$ matrix of the form $A=UTV$, with $U, V$ some independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices and $T$ a deterministic matrix. We prove that for $k\sim n^{1/6}$ and $b^2:=\frac{1}{n}\operatorname{Tr}(|T|^2)$, as $n$…

We prove a bijective unitary correspondence between 1) the isospectral torus of almost-periodic, absolutely continuous CMV matrices having fixed finite-gap spectrum and 2) special periodic block-CMV matrices satisfying a Magic Formula. This…

We prove that the inverse of a positive-definite matrix can be approximated by a weighted-sum of a small number of matrix exponentials. Combining this with a previous result [OSV12], we establish an equivalence between matrix inversion and…

We prove a conjecture of Gromov about non-free isometric immersions.

We employ techniques from optimal transport in order to prove decay of transfer operators associated to iterated functions systems and expanding maps, giving rise to a new proof without requiring a Doeblin-Fortet (or Lasota-Yorke)…

We study the resonant prescribed T-curvature problem on a compact 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We derive sharp energy and gradient estimates of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional to characterize the critical points…

Let $\Phi$ : R n $\rightarrow$ R $\cup$ {+$\infty$} be an even convex function and L$\Phi$ be its Legendre transform. We prove the functional form of Mahler conjecture concerning the functional volume product P ($\Phi$) = e --$\Phi$ e…
