In this paper, we study additive properties of finite sets of lattice points on spheres in $3$ and $4$ dimensions. Thus, given $d,m \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A$ be a set of lattice points $(x_1, \dots, x_d) \in \mathbb{Z}^d$ satisfying $x_1^2 +…

We establish a sharp adjoint Fourier restriction inequality for the end-point Tomas-Stein restriction theorem on the circle under a certain arithmetic constraint on the support set of the Fourier coefficients of the given function. Such…

We introduce a convergent finite difference method for solving the optimal transportation problem on the sphere. The method applies to both the traditional squared geodesic cost (arising in mesh generation) and a logarithmic cost (arising…

We make three contributions toward better understanding policy gradient methods in the tabular setting. First, we show that with the true gradient, policy gradient with a softmax parametrization converges at a $O(1/t)$ rate, with constants…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact semialgebraic set and let $f:X\to \mathbb{R}$ be a nonzero Nash function. We give a Solern\'o and D'Acunto-Kurdyka type estimation of the exponent $\varrho\in[0,1)$ in the {\L}ojasiewicz gradient…

We derive the linear acoustic and Stokes-Fourier equations as the limiting dynamics of a system of N hard spheres of diameter $\epsilon$ in two space dimensions, when N $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, $\epsilon$ $\rightarrow$ 0, N $\epsilon$ =…

When aiming to apply mathematical results of non-commutative geometry to physical problems the question arises how they translate to a context in which only a part of the spectrum is known. In this article we aim to detect when a…

Most prior work on the convergence of gradient descent (GD) for overparameterized neural networks relies on strong assumptions on the step size (infinitesimal), the hidden-layer width (infinite), or the initialization (large, spectral,…

We derive the sharp Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequalities on the standard $n$-sphere and CR $(2n+1)$- sphere as the limit of the sharp fractional Sobolev inequalities for all $n\ge 1$. On the $2$-sphere and $4$-sphere, this was established…
