We study the maximal number $0\le h\le+\infty$ for a given plane domain $\Omega$ such that $f\in H^p$ whenever $p<h$ and $f$ is analytic in the unit disk with values in $\Omega.$ One of our main contributions is an estimate of $h$ for…

We investigate the order of the maximum of the integer-valued Gaussian free field in two dimensions, and show that it grows logarithmically with the size of the box. Our treatment follows closely that of a recent paper by Kharash and Peled…

We study how large and small elasticity can be for orders belonging to a fixed quadratic field, in terms of the corresponding conductors. For example, we show that if $K$ is an imaginary quadratic field, then the order of conductor $f$ in…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n\ge0}a_n z^n$ be a transcendental entire function and write $M(r,f):=\max_{|z|=r}|f(z)|$ and $\mu(r,f):=\max_{n\ge0}|a_n|\,r^n$. A problem of Erd\H{o}s asks for the value of $$ B:=\sup_f…

In 1991, Baker and Harman proved, under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis, that $\max_{ \theta \in [0,1) }\left|\sum_{ n \leq x } \mu(n) e(n \theta) \right| \ll_\epsilon x^{3/4 + \epsilon}$. The purpose of this note is to…

For any (Hausdorff) compact group $G$ with the normalized Haar measure ${\mathbf m}_G$, denote by ${\rm cp}(G)$ the probability ${\mathbf m}_{G\times G}(\{(x,y)\in G\times G \;|\; xy=yx\})$ of commuting a randomly chosen pair of elements of…

We study occurrences of patterns on clusters of size n in random fields on Z^d. We prove that for a given pattern, there is a constant a>0 such that the probability that this pattern occurs at most an times on a cluster of size n is…

Let $f\colon S\to B$ a complex fibred surface with fibres of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $u_f$ be its unitary rank, i.e., the rank of the maximal unitary summand of the Hodge bundle $f_*\omega_f$. We prove many new slope inequalities involving…

Bounds are studied for the maximum number, $N_c$, of electrons that can be bound to $K$ atoms of the total nuclear charge $Z$. It is proved that $N_c < \min\{2Z+1, 1.22Z + 3Z^{1/3}\}$ in Schr\"odinger theory. This improves Lieb's bound $N_c…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D \geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…

Let ${\mathcal U}(\lambda)$ denote the family of analytic functions $f(z)$, $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, in the unit disk $\ID$, which satisfy the condition $\big |\big (z/f(z)\big )^{2}f'(z)-1\big |<\lambda $ for some $0<\lambda \leq 1$. The…

Mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of finite dimensions are closely related to the quantal notion of complementarity. An alternative proof of existence of a maximal collection of N+1 mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of prime…

For an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$, let $\nu^{(m)}(H)$ denote the maximum size of a set~$M$ of edges in $H$ such that every two edges in $M$ intersect in less than $m$ vertices, and let $\tau^{(m)}(H)$ denote the minimum size of a collection…

Let $U\in U(N)$ be a random unitary matrix of size $N$, distributed with respect to the Haar measure on $U(N)$. Let $P(z)=P_U(z)$ be the characteristic polynomial of $U$. We prove that for $z$ close to the unit circle, $ \frac{P'}{P}(z) $…

The unitary polar factor $Q=U$ in the polar decomposition of the matrix $Z=UH$ is the minimizer for both $\| \mathrm{Log}(Q^* Z)\|^2$ and its Hermitian part $\| \mathrm{sym Log}(Q^* Z)\|^2$ over both $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$, for any…

We prove a matrix discrepancy bound that strengthens the famous Kadison-Singer result of Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. Consider any independent scalar random variables $\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_n$ with finite support, e.g. $\{ \pm 1 \}$ or…

Euler's theorem asserts that $A(n)=B(n)$ where $A(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts and $B(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts. In this paper, it is proved that for $n>0$, \begin{align*}…

We analyze properties of a map B = f(U) sending a unitary matrix U of size N into a doubly stochastic matrix defined by B_{i,j} = |U_{i,j}|^2. For any U we define its DEFECT, determined by the dimensionality of the space being the image…

We obtain new upper bounds on the minimal density of lattice coverings of Euclidean space by dilates of a convex body K. We also obtain bounds on the probability (with respect to the natural Haar-Siegel measure on the space of lattices)…
