Let $p$ be a prime number and let $ k $ be a number field, which does not contain the field $\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_p + \bar{\zeta_p})$. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that if there are no $k$-rational torsion…

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ over a number field $k$ and $P\in X(k)$, the first author conjectured that in a precise sense, any sequence that approximates $P$ sufficiently well must lie on a rational curve. We prove this conjecture…

In this paper we investigate elliptic partial differential equations on Lipschitz domains in the plane whose coefficient matrices have small (but possibly nonzero) imaginary parts and depend only on one of the two coordinates. We show that…

Let $R$ be an integral domain of characteristic zero. We prove that a function $D\colon R\to R$ is a derivation of order $n$ if and only if $D$ belongs to the closure of the set of differential operators of degree $n$ in the product…

We use the circle method to obtain tight bounds on the $L^p$ norm of an exponential sum involving the divisor function for $p > 2$.

The paper is devoted to the development of a comprehensive calculus for directional limiting normal cones, subdifferentials and coderivatives in finite dimensions. This calculus encompasses the whole range of the standard generalized…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

Let $E$ be a Jordan rectifiable curve in the complex plane and let $G$ be the bounded component of $\mathbb{C}\backslash E$. Now let $n\in \mathbb{N}$, and let $m_{n,E}$ denote the extremal constants defined by \begin{equation*}m_{n,E}=\inf…

We investigate the boundary behavior of holomorphic functions with respect to a family of curves in a domain of finite type. This work is a generalization of \u{C}irka's classical result on the unit ball and it supplements the result by…

We prove fine higher regularity results of Calder\'on-Zygmund-type for equations involving nonlocal operators modelled on the fractional $p$-Laplacian with possibly discontinuous coefficients of VMO-type. We accomplish this by establishing…

For an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kz^k$ on a neighbourhood of a closed disc $D\subset {\bf C}$, we give assumptions, in terms of the Taylor coefficients $a_k$ of $f$, under which the number of intersection points of the…

Suppose $X$ is a real or complexified Banach space containing a complemented copy of $\ell_p$, $p\in(1,2)$, and a copy (not necessarily complemented) of either $\ell_q$, $q\in(p,\infty)$, or $c_0$. Then $\mathcal{L}(X)$ and…

For finite difference discretizations with linear complexity and provably convergent to weak solutions of the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, we give the first proof of uniqueness. The boundary condition is…

Consider the matrix power function X^p defined over the cone of positive definite matrices S^{n}_{++}. It is known that X^p is convex over S^{n}_{++} if p is in [-1,0] or [1,2] and X^p is concave over S^{n}_{++} if p is in [0,1]. We show…

Bounds are obtained for the $L^p$ norm of the torsion function $v_{\Omega}$, i.e. the solution of $-\Delta v=1,\, v\in H_0^1(\Omega),$ in terms of the Lebesgue measure of $\Omega$ and the principal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ of the…

For a rational function f we consider the norm of the derivative with respect to the spherical metric and denote by K(f) the supremum of this norm. We give estimates of this quantity K(f) both for an individual function and for sequences of…

Consider the vanishing locus of a real analytic function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ restricted to $[0,1]^n$. We bound the number of rational points of bounded height that approximate this set very well. Our result is formulated and proved in the…

We continue the development of the basic theory of generalized derivatives as introduced in \cite{JPA} and give some of their applications. In particular, we formulate versions of a weak maximum principle, Rolle's theorem, the Mean value…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…
