In 1898 Charles Jean de la Valle Poussin, as part of his famed proof of the prime number theorem, developed an ineffective bound on the first Chebyshev function of the form: \[ |\theta(x)-x| = \mathcal{O}\left(x \exp(-K \sqrt{\ln…

We provide deficit estimates for Nelson's hypercontractivity inequality, the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and Talagrand's transportation cost inequality under the restriction that the inputs are semi-log-subharmonic, semi-log-convex, or…

We prove a Chebyshev transform formula for a notion of (weighted) transfinite diameter that is defined using a generalized notion of polynomial degree. We also generalize Leja points to this setting. As an application of our main formula,…

New lower and upper bounds on the reliability function of typewriter channels are given. Our lower bounds improve upon the (multiletter) expurgated bound of Gallager, furnishing a new and simple counterexample to a conjecture made in 1967…

Let $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ be fixed. We prove that $$ \max_{0 \leq t \leq T} |\zeta(\alpha+it)| \geq \exp\left(\frac{c_\alpha (\log T)^{1-\alpha}}{(\log \log T)^\alpha}\right) $$ for all sufficiently large $T$, where we can choose $c_\alpha =…

For the real part of the Cauchy-type integral that is known to be the logarithmic potential of the double layer, a necessary and sufficient condition for the continuous extension to the Ahlfors-regular boundary is established.

In this note, we establish a functional central limit theorem for the capacity of the range for a class of $\alpha$-stable random walks on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d > 5\alpha/2$. Using similar methods, we also prove an…

A logarithmic scaling for structure functions, in the form $S_p \sim [\ln (r/\eta)]^{\zeta_p}$, where $\eta$ is the Kolmogorov dissipation scale and $\zeta_p$ are the scaling exponents, is suggested for the statistical description of the…

Minimax and maximin problems are investigated for a special class of functions on the interval $[0,1]$. These functions are sums of translates of positive multiples of one kernel function and a very general external field function. Due to…

The logarithmic potential is of great interest and relevance in the study of the dynamics of galaxies. Some small corrections to the work of Contopoulos & Seimenis (1990) who used the method of Prendergast (1982) to find periodic orbits and…

Based on the Delsarte-Yudin linear programming approach, we extend Levenshtein's framework to obtain lower bounds for the minimum $h$-energy of spherical codes of prescribed dimension and cardinality, and upper bounds on the maximal…

We consider a deformation $E_{L,\Lambda}^{(m)}(it)$ of the Dedekind eta function depending on two $d$-dimensional simple lattices $(L,\Lambda)$ and two parameters $(m,t)\in (0,\infty)$, initially proposed by Terry Gannon. We show that the…

In this note we compute the logarithmic energy of points in the unit interval $[-1,1]$ chosen from different Gegenbauer Determinantal Point Processes. We check that all the different families of Gegenbauer polynomials yield the same…

This paper is focused on necessary conditions for hypoellipticity of an operator $L$ of the form $L=L_1(x)+g(x)L_2(y)$, where the operator $L_1$ is either elliptic or parabolic, $L_2$ is degenerately elliptic and $g(x)$ may itself vanish…

In this paper, we study linear forms \[\lambda = \beta_1\mathrm{e}^{\alpha_1}+\cdots+\beta_m\mathrm{e}^{\alpha_m},\] where $\alpha_i$ and $\beta_i$ are algebraic numbers. An explicit lower bound for the absolute value of $\lambda$ is…

In this paper we establish a new explicit upper and lower bound for the $n$-th prime number, which improve the currently best estimates given by Dusart in 2010. As the main tool we use some recently obtained explicit estimates for the prime…

Recently, $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions, as well as the corresponding zeros, have been introduced as a generalization of classical Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and related roots. They consist of a family of orthogonal…

For $V\sim \alpha \log\log T$ with $0<\alpha<2$, we prove \[ \frac{1}{T}\text{meas}\{t\in [T,2T]: \log|\zeta(1/2+ {\rm i} t)|>V\}\ll \frac{1}{\sqrt{\log\log T}} e^{-V^2/\log\log T}. \] This improves prior results of Soundararajan and of…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the logarithmic mean of two convex functionals that extends the logarithmic mean of two positive operators. Some inequalities involving this functional mean are discussed as well. The operator…

We consider a one dimensional affine switched system obtained from a formal limit of a two dimensional linear system. We show this is equivalent to minimising the average digit in beta representations with unrestricted digits. We give a…
