I explain an open conjecture by Braverman/Milatovic/Shubin (BMS) on the positivity of square integrable solutions $f$ of $(-\Delta+1)f\geq 0$ on a geodescially complete Riemannian manifold, and its connection to essential self-adjointness…

We prove a general Borg-type inverse spectral result for a reflectionless unitary CMV operator (CMV for Cantero, Moral, and Vel\'azquez) associated with matrix-valued Verblunsky coefficients. More precisely, we find an explicit formula for…

The Bernstein-von Mises theorem (BvM) gives conditions under which the posterior distribution of a parameter $\theta\in\Theta\subseteq\mathbb R^d$ based on $n$ independent samples is asymptotically normal. In the high-dimensional regime, a…

We provide a representation of the (signed) BMV-measure by stochastic means and prove positivity of the respective measures in dimension $d=3$ in several non-trivial cases by combinatorial methods.

In this work, we study the Landis conjecture for second-order elliptic equations in the plane. Precisely, assume that $V\ge 0$ is a measurable real-valued function satisfying $\|V\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb R}^2)} \le 1$. Let $u$ be a real…

Let $\fre$ be a homogeneous subset of $\bbR$ in the sense of Carleson. Let $\mu$ be a finite positive measure on $\bbR$ and $H_\mu(x)$ its Hilbert transform. We prove that if $\lim_{t\to\infty} t \abs{\fre\cap\{x\mid\abs{H_\mu(x)}>t\}}=0$,…

We study a Brownian motion with drift in a wedge of angle $\beta$ which is obliquely reflected on each edge along angles $\varepsilon$ and $\delta$. We assume that the classical parameter $\alpha=\frac{\delta+\varepsilon - \pi}{\beta}$ is…

The adjoint method introduced in [Eva] and [Tra] is used, to construct analogs to the Aubry-Mather measures for non convex Hamiltonians. More precisely, a general construction of probability measures, that in the convex setting agree with…

In \cite{bik1}, A. M. Bikchentaev conjectured that for positive $\tau-$measurable operators $a$ and $b$ affiliated with an arbitrary semifinite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$, the operator $b^{1/2}ab^{1/2}$ is submajorized by the operator…

We show an invariance result for the L2-torsion of groups under uniform measure equivalence provided a measure-theoretic version of the determinant conjecture holds. The measure-theoretic determinant conjecture is discussed and, for…

In this paper we show that for a non-negative operator monotone function $f$ on $[0, \infty)$ such that $f(0)= 0$ and for any positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, $$ Tr((A-B)(f(A)-f(B))) \le Tr(|A-B|f(|A-B|)). $$ When the function…

We prove a Leibniz rule for BV functions in a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality. Unlike in previous versions of the rule, we do not assume the functions to be locally…

In light of the well-known fact that the $n$th divided difference of any polynomial of degree $m$ must be zero while $m<n$,the present paper proves the $(\alpha,\beta)$-inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma [J. Math. Res. $\&$…

Let $\Omega:=\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ be the Cantor space, and let $\tau:\Omega \to \Omega$ be the Bernoulli shift. For the flow on the crossed product $C(\Omega)\rtimes_\tau \mathbb{Z}$ determined by a potential that depends on only one…

Given a convex function $\varphi$ and two hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$, Lewin and Sabin study in [M. Lewin, J. Sabin, {\it A Family of Monotone Quantum Relative Entropies}, Lett. Math. Phys. \textbf{104} (2014), 691-705.] the relative…

We investigate the entropy $H(\mu,t)$ of a probability measure $\mu$ along the heat flow and more precisely we seek for closed algebraic representations of its derivatives. Provided that $\mu$ admits moments of any order, it is indeed…

We analyze why the refined Bessis--Moussa--Villani conjecture fails. The refined conjecture proposed that the normalized trace average over all words with prescribed numbers of letters \(A\) and \(B\) should be bounded above by the…

In this paper, we prove the following asymptotic formula for the spectral cubic moment of central $L$-values: $$ \sum_{t_f \leqslant T} \frac {2 L \big( \tfrac 1 2 , f \big)^3} {L(1, \mathrm{Sym}^2 f)} + \frac {2} {\pi} \int_{0}^{T} \frac…

We establish the following result, confirming a conjecture of Jean Esterle. For each closed subset $E$ of the unit circle of Lebesgue measure zero, there exists a positive sequence $u_n\to\infty$ with the following property: if $T$ is a…

It is well known that the sum of negative (positive) eigenvalues of some finite Hermitian matrix $V$ is concave (convex) with respect to $V$. Using the theory of the spectral shift function we generalize this property to self-adjoint…
