We analyze various perspectives on the elliptic genus of non-compact supersymmetric coset conformal field theories with central charge larger than three. We calculate the holomorphic part of the elliptic genus via a free field description…
We construct a family of quantum Hall Hamiltonians whose ground states, at least for small system sizes, give correlators of the S3 conformal field theories. The ground states are considered as trial wavefunctions for quantum Hall effect of…
APN functions play a central role as building blocks in the design of many block ciphers, serving as optimal functions to resist differential attacks. One of the most important properties of APN functions is their linearity, which is…
We will present many strong partial results towards a classification of exceptional planar/PN monomial functions on finite fields. The techniques we use are the Weil bound, Bezout's theorem, and Bertini's theorem.
The Walsh transform $\widehat{Q}$ of a quadratic function $Q:F_{p^n}\rightarrow F_p$ satisfies $|\widehat{Q}(b)| \in \{0,p^{\frac{n+s}{2}}\}$ for all $b\in F_{p^n}$, where $0\le s\le n-1$ is an integer depending on $Q$. In this article, we…
Functions with low c-differential uniformity have optimal resistance to some types of differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, we investigate the c-differential uniformity of power functions over finite fields. Based on some known almost…
In 1997, Thomas Wolff proved sharp $L^3$ bounds for his circular maximal function, and in 1999, Kolasa and Wolff proved certain non-sharp $L^p$ inequalities for a broader class of maximal functions arising from curves of the form…
Boolean functions with good cryptographic criteria when restricted to the set of vectors with constant Hamming weight play an important role in the recent FLIP stream cipher. In this paper, we propose a large class of weightwise perfectly…
We present a method for tabulating all cubic function fields over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ whose discriminant $D$ has either odd degree or even degree and the leading coefficient of $-3D$ is a non-square in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^*$, up to a given bound…
It is well known that a quadratic function defined on a finite field of odd degree is almost bent (AB) if and only if it is almost perfect nonlinear (APN). For the even degree case there is no apparent relationship between the values in the…
While discrete harmonic functions have been objects of interest for quite some time, this is not the case for discrete polyharmonic functions, as appear for instance in the asymptotics of path counting problems. In this article, a novel…
The goal of this article is to establish L^p-estimates for maximal functions associated with nonisotropic dilations of hypersurfaces in R^3. Several results have already been obtained by Greenleaf, Iosevich-Sawyer-Seeger,…
The goal of this article is to establish $L^{p} \rightarrow L^{q}$ estimates for maximal functions associated with nonisotropic dilations $\delta_t(x)=(t^{a_1}x_1,t^{a_2}x_2,t^{a_3}x_3)$ of hypersurfaces $(x_{1}, x_{2},\Phi(x_1,x_2))$ in…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We prove that the pre-Bloch group of the function field of $E$ can be generated by the functions of degree not higher than 3. We apply this result to the…
Zhou 2013 introduced modified planar functions to describe $(2^n,2^n,2^n,1)$ relative difference sets $R$ as a graph of a function on the finite field $\F_{2^n}$, and pointed out that projections of $R$ are difference sets that can be…
In \cite{GUW} we introduced a class of "semi-classical functions of isotropic type", starting with a model case and applying Fourier integral operators associated with canonical transformations. These functions are a substantial…
Whittaker functions are special functions that arise in $p$-adic number theory and representation theory. They may be defined on representations of reductive groups as well as their metaplectic covering groups: fascinatingly, many of their…
This paper contains an account of arbitrary cubic function fields of characteristic three. We define a standard form for an arbitrary cubic curve and consider its function field. By considering an integral basis for the maximal order of…
We introduce and study higher depth quantum modular forms. We construct two families of examples coming from rank two false theta functions, whose "companions" in the lower half-plane can be also realized both as double Eichler integrals…
The critical point of a topological phase transition is described by a conformal field theory, where finite-size corrections to energy are uniquely related to its central charge. We investigate the finite-size scaling away from criticality…
