Let $p_{k}$ denote the $k$-th prime and $d(p_{k}) = p_{k} - p_{k - 1}$, the difference between consecutive primes. We denote by $N_{\epsilon}(x)$ the number of primes $\leq x$ which satisfy the inequality $d(p_{k}) \leq (\log p_{k})^{2 +…

We study an exponential sum over Laplacian eigenvalues $\lambda_{j} = 1/4+t_{j}^{2}$ with $t_{j} \leqslant T$ for Maass cusp forms on $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}$, where $\Gamma$ is a cofinite Fuchsian group acting on the upper half-plane…

We derive a sharp spectral estimate for a superlinear free boundary problem arising in plasma physics. The semilinear equation is coupled with a constraint, which forces the analysis of a non-local eigenvalue equation. Consequently the…

In this paper we investigate spectral properties of the damped elastic wave equation. Deducing a correspondence between the eigenvalue problem of this model and the one of Lam\'e operators with non self-adjoint perturbations, we provide…

Given a finite set of points $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb P^{k-1}$ not all contained in a hyperplane, the "fitting problem" asks what is the maximum number $hyp(\Gamma)$ of these points that can fit in some hyperplane and what is (are) the…

Juri\'{s}i\v{c} et al. conjectured that if a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $D$ at least three has a light tail, then one of the following holds: 1.$a_1 =0$; 2.$\Gamma$ is an antipodal cover of diameter three; 3.$\Gamma$ is…

We consider $k$-dimensional central sections of the unit ball of $\ell_p^n$ (denoted $B_p^n$) and we prove that their volume are bounded by the volume of $B_p^n$ whenever $1<p<2$ and $1\le k\le (n-1)/2$ or $k=n-1$. We also consider $0<p<1$…
