Let $F$ be a non-archimedean locally compact field. We study a class of Langlands-Shahidi pairs $({\bf H},{\bf L})$, consisting of a quasi-split connected reductive group $\bf H$ over $F$ and a Levi subgroup $\bf L$ which is closely related…

We show that a random concave function having a periodic hessian on an equilateral lattice has a quadratic scaling limit, if the average hessian of the function satisfies certain conditions. We consider the set of all concave functions $g$…

The first order nonlinear ODE \dot \phi(t) + \sin\phi(t)=q(t),q(t)=B+A\cos\omega t, where A,B,\omega are real constants, is considered, the transformation converting it to a second order linear homogeneous ODE with polynoimial coefficients…

We introduce a Lie algebra of initial terms of logarithmic vector fields along a hypersurface singularity. Extending the formal structure theorem in [GS06, Thm. 5.4], we show that the completely reducible part of its linear projection lifts…

Given a connected Lipschitz domain U we let L(U) be the subset of functions in 2nd order Sobolev space whose gradient (in the sense of trace) is equal to the inward pointing unit normal to U. The the Aviles Giga functional over L(U) serves…

We study the metric projection onto the closed convex cone in a real Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ generated by a sequence $\mathcal{V} = \{v_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$. The first main result of this paper provides a sufficient condition under which…

We show that Newton's method converges globally at a linear rate for objective functions whose Hessians are stable. This class of problems includes many functions which are not strongly convex, such as logistic regression. Our linear…

Let U be a pseudoconvex open set in a complex manifold M. When is U a Stein manifold? There are classical counter examples due to Grauert, even when U has real-analytic boundary or has strictly pseudoconvex points. We give new criteria for…

An inifinite-dimensional representation of the double affine Hecke algebra of rank 1 and type $(C_1^{\vee},C_1)$ in which all generators are tridiagonal is presented. This representation naturally leads to two systems of polynomials that…

Consider a graphed holomorphic surface $u=F(x,y)$ in $\mathbb{C}^3_{x,y,u}$ under the action of the affine transformation group $A(3)$. In 1999, Eastwood and Ezhov obtained a list of homogeneous models by determining possible tangential…

We continue our investigation of the nonlinear SUSY for complex potentials started in the Part I (math-ph/0610024) and prove the theorems characterizing its structure in the case of non-diagonalizable Hamiltonians. This part provides the…

In this paper, we address an extension of the theory of self-concordant functions for a manifold. We formulate the self-concordance of a geodesically convex function by a condition of the covariant derivative of its Hessian, and verify that…

We interpret the Hilbert entropy of a convex projective structure on a closed higher-genus surface as the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability points of the limit set in the full flag space $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^3)$.…

Approximative properties of the Taylor-Abel-Poisson linear summation me\-thod of Fourier series are considered for functions of several variables, periodic with respect to the hexagonal domain, in the integral metric. In particular, direct…

Let $X \subset \Bbb P^r$ be a smooth algebraic curve in projective space, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For each $m \in \Bbb N$, the $m$-flexes of $X$ are defined as the points where the osculating hypersurface…

We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…

The Hessian Sobolev inequality of X.-J. Wang, and the Hessian Poincar\'e inequalities of Trudinger and Wang are fundamental to differential and conformal geometry, and geometric PDE. These remarkable inequalities were originally established…

We establish for $2 \le k \le n-1$ the strict concavity of the function $f_k(\lambda)=\log(\sigma_k(\lambda))$ on a subset of the positive cone $\Gamma_n=\{\lambda=(\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \cdots,\lambda_{n})\in \mathbb{R}^n;…

The potential -x^4, which is unbounded below on the real line, can give rise to a well-posed bound state problem when x is taken on a contour in the lower-half complex plane. It is then PT-symmetric rather than Hermitian. Nonetheless it has…

Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…
