Let $0 \leq \alpha<n$ and $b$ be the locally integrable function. In this paper, we consider the maximal commutator of fractional maximal function $M_{b,\alpha}$ and the nonlinear commutator of fractional maximal function $[b, M_{\alpha}]$…

Counting the types of squares rather than their occurrences, we consider the problem of bounding the number of distinct squares in a string. Fraenkel and Simpson showed in 1998 that a string of length n contains at most 2n distinct squares.…

Let $\{Q^{(\alpha)}_{n,\lambda}\}_{n\geq 0}$ be the sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials with respect the Gegenbauer-Sobolev inner product $$\langle f,g\rangle_{S}:=\int_{-1}^{1}f(x)g(x)(1-x^{2})^{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}dx+\lambda…

Consider the multidimensional Bessel operator $$B f(x) = -\sum_{j=1}^N \left(\partial_j^2 f(x) +\frac{\alpha_j}{x_j} \partial_j f(x)\right), \quad x\in(0,\infty)^N. $$ Let $d = \sum_{j=1}^N \max(1,\alpha_j+1)$ be the homogeneous dimension…

We prove by an elementary method the Riemann hypothesis for the local Euler factor of the zeta function of quadratic orders.

We study the maximum of a Brownian motion with a parabolic drift; this is a random variable that often occurs as a limit of the maximum of discrete processes whose expectations have a maximum at an interior point. We give series expansions…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional local commutative algebra over $R$, $\dim_RA=n$. In this work we consider compact manifolds over $A$, and prove that the real part of an $A$-differentiable function is constant. Also we find estimates for the…

We show that, for $n\geq 3$, $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ holds almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^n)$ provided that $s>\frac{n}{2(n+1)}$. Due to a counterexample by Bourgain, up to the endpoint, this result is…

What is the maximum number of holes that a polyomino with $n$ tiles can enclose? Call this number $f(n)$. We show that if $n_k = \left( 2^{2k+1} + 3 \cdot 2^{k+1}+4 \right) / 3$ and $h_k = \left( 2^{2k}-1 \right) /3$, then $f(n_k) = h_k$…

Let $\alpha_k(\lambda)$ denote the number of $k$-hooks in a partition $\lambda$ and let $b(n,k)$ be the maximum value of $\alpha_k(\lambda)$ among partitions of $n$. Amdeberhan posed a conjecture on the generating function of $b(n,1)$. We…

In this note I present a readable version of the proof of my 2001 result, giving a sufficient and necessary condition for a function on a combinatorial cube to essentially (locally) depend on at most one variable (see the end of the paper…

We show that $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^2)$ provided that $s>1/3$. This result is sharp up to the endpoint. The proof uses polynomial partitioning and decoupling.

The moving sofa problem, posed by L. Moser in 1966, asks for the planar shape of maximal area that can move around a right-angled corner in a hallway of unit width. It is known that a maximal area shape exists, and that its area is at least…

A $\textit{square-full}$ number is a positive integer for which all its prime divisors divide itself at least twice. The counting function of square-full integers of the form $f(n)$ for $n\leqslant N$ is denoted by…

We define zonal polynomials of quaternion matrix argument and deduce some important formulae of zonal polynomials and hypergeometric functions of quaternion matrix argument. As an application, we give the distributions of the largest and…

A quaternionic matrix-valued regular function is a map $F: \Omega \rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{H})$ whose entries are (left) regular functions of a quaternion variable, where $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb{H}$. Our aim is to bring out some…

In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…

We study the properties of the maximal volume $k$-dimensional sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^n$. We obtain a first order necessary condition for a $k$-dimensional subspace to be a local maximizer of the volume of such…

In this paper, we prove that a continuous $\mathcal F$-plurisubharmonic functions defined in an $\mathcal F$-open set in $\mathbb C^n$ is $\mathcal F$-maximal if and only if it is $\mathcal F$-locally $\mathcal F$-maximal.

Let $Q(X)$ be any integral primitive positive definite quadratic form with discriminant $D$ and in $k$ variables where $k\geq4$. We give an upper bound on the number of integral solutions of $Q(X)=n$ for any integer $n$ in terms of $n$, $k$…
