The article is devoted to the investigation of smoothness of functions $f(x_1,...,x_m)$ of variables $x_1,...,x_m$ in infinite fields with non-trivial multiplicative ultra-norms, where $m\ge 2$. Theorems about classes of smoothness $C^n$ or…
We prove quasi-invariance of Gaussian measures $\mu_s$ with Cameron-Martin space $H^s$ under the flow of the defocusing nonlinear wave equation with polynomial nonlinearities of any order for all $s>5/2$, including fractional $s$. This…
A univariate continuous function can always be decomposed as the sum of a non-increasing function and a non-decreasing one. Based on this property, we propose a non-parametric regression method that combines two spline-fitted monotone…
In this paper we summarize some known facts on slice topology in the quaternionic case, and we deepen some of them by proving new results and discussing some examples. We then show, following [18], how this setting allows us to generalize…
We describe the application of a novel approach for the reduction of scattering amplitudes, based on multivariate polynomial division, which we have recently presented. This technique yields the complete integrand decomposition for…
Recently, we introduced domains of slice regularity in the space $\mathbb{H}$ of quaternions and also proved that domains of slice regularity satisfy a symmetry with respect to paths, called $2$-path-symmetry. In this paper, we give a full…
The slope is an isotopy invariant of colored links with a distinguished component, initially introduced by the authors to describe an extra correction term in the computation of the signature of the splice. It appeared to be closely related…
Let $f$ be a real-valued, degree-$d$ Boolean function defined on the $n$-dimensional Boolean cube $\{\pm 1\}^{n}$, and $f(x) = \sum_{S \subset \{1,\ldots,d\}} \widehat{f}(S) \prod_{k \in S} x_k$ its Fourier-Walsh expansion. The main result…
A Boolean function $f$ on $n$ variables is said to be a bent function if the absolute value of all its Walsh coefficients is $2^{n/2}$. Our main result is a new asymptotic lower bound on the number of Boolean bent functions. It is based on…
Exhibiting an explicit Boolean function with a large high-order nonlinearity is an important problem in cryptography, coding theory, and computational complexity. We prove lower bounds on the second-order, third-order, and higher-order…
We obtain a new important basic result on splice-quotient singularities in an elegant combinatorial-geometric way: every level of the divisorial filtration of the ring of functions is generated by monomials of the defining coordinate…
R. Canfield has conjectured that for all subgroups G of the automorphism group of the Boolean lattice B(n) (which can be regarded as the symmetric group S(n)) the quotient order B(n)/G is a symmetric chain order. We provide a…
We study various properties of a nonperturbative partition function which can be associated to any spectral curve. When the spectral curve arises from a matrix model, this nonperturbative partition function is given by a sum of matrix…
In a recent paper almost sure unisolvence of RBF interpolation at random points with no polynomial addition was proved, for Thin-Plate Splines and Radial Powers with noninteger exponent. The proving technique left unsolved the case of odd…
In this paper, we prove that nonnegative polyharmonic functions on the upper half space satisfying a conformally invariant nonlinear boundary condition have to be the "\emph{polynomials} plus \emph{bubbles}" form. The nonlinear problem is…
Recently, Keller and Pilpel conjectured that the influence of a monotone Boolean function does not decrease if we apply to it an invertible linear transformation. Our aim in this short note is to prove this conjecture.
In this note we consider Boolean functions defined on the discrete cube equipped with a biased product probability measure. We prove that if the spectrum of such a function is concentrated on the first two Fourier levels, then the function…
Boolean functions on the space $F_{2}^m$ are not only important in the theory of error-correcting codes, but also in cryptography, where they occur in private key systems. In these two cases, the nonlinearity of these function is a main…
This work presents a family of fiber bundles where the total spaces are associated with holomorphic functions on several complex variables and the basis spaces extend the notion of quaternionic slice regular functions of several…
We prove Hoelder continuity for n/2-harmonic maps from subsets of Rn into a sphere. This extends a recent one-dimensional result by F. Da Lio and T. Riviere to arbitrary dimensions. The proof relies on compensation effects which we quantify…
