Arakeljan's Theorem provides conditions on a relatively closed subset $F$ of a domain $G\subset\mathbb{C}$, such that any continuous function $f:F\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ that is analytic in $F^\circ$, can be approximated by analytic…

A smooth diffeomorphism f of a smooth closed orientable manifold M is cohomology-free diffeomorphism (c.f) if for each smooth function g on M there exists a smooth function h on M and a constant c such that h-h o f = g. In this article we…

A mathematical smooth function means that the function has continuous derivatives to a certain degree C(k). We call it a k-smooth function or a smooth function if k can grow infinitively. Based on quantum physics, there is no such smooth…

We prove that the nodal set (zero set) of a solution of a generalized Dirac equation on a Riemannian manifold has codimension 2 at least. If the underlying manifold is a surface, then the nodal set is discrete. We obtain a quick proof of…

Let $E,F$ be two topological spaces and $u:E\rightarrow F$ be a map. \ If $F$ is Haudorff and $u$ is continuous, then its graph is closed. \ \ The Closed Graph Theorem establishes the converse when $E$ and $F$ are suitable objects of…

Banach famously related the smoothness of a function to the size of its level sets. More precisely, he showed that a continuous function is of bounded variation exactly when its "indicatrix" is integrable. In a similar vein, we connect the…

We study some properties of smooth sets in the sense defined by Hungerford. We prove a sharp form of Hungerford's Theorem on the Hausdorff dimension of their boundaries on Euclidean spaces and show the invariance of the definition under a…

On a closed and connected symplectic manifold, the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms has the structure of an infinite-dimensional Fr\'echet Lie group, where the Lie algebra is naturally identified with the space of smooth and zero-mean…

This paper demonstrates that the space of piecewise smooth functions can be well approximated by the space of functions defined by a set of simple (non-linear) operations on smooth uniform splines. The examples include bivariate functions…

In this paper, we broaden Shiu's Brun-Titchmarsh theorem to allow for functions that are larger and/or smooth-supported. In particular, let $f$ be a nonnegative multiplicative function. We prove that if there exists a $\beta<1$ such that…

Given a compact surface $M$, consider the right action $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)\times\mathcal{D}(M)\to\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)$, $(f, h) \mapsto f\circ h$, of the group $\mathcal{D}(M)$ of $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ diffeomorphisms of $M$ on the…

In the first part of this work, we consider a polynomial $ \phi(x,y)=y^d+a_1(x)y^{d-1}+...+a_d(x) $ whose coefficients $ a_j $ belong to a Denjoy-Carleman quasianalytic local ring $ \mathcal{E}_1(M) $. Assuming that $ \mathcal{E}_1(M) $ is…

We study closed sets $F \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ whose distance function $d_F:= {\rm dist}\,(\cdot,F)$ is DC (i.e., is the difference of two convex functions on ${\mathbb R}^d$). Our main result asserts that if $F \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ is a…

In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain…

This paper deals with connections on $p$-adic analytic curves, in the sense of Berkovich. The curves must be compact but the connections are allowed to have a finite number of meromorphic singularities on them. For any choice of a…

We show that every bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth $p$-convex boundary for $2\le p < n$ admits a smooth defining function $\rho$ which is $p$-plurisubharmonic on $\overline D$; if in addition $bD$ has no $p$-flat points then…

We show that the space of continuous functions over a compact space X admits an equivalent pointwise-lowersemicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm whenever X admits a fully closed map onto a compact Y such that C(Y) and the spaces of…

We study the class of norms on the space of smooth functions on a closed symplectic manifold, which are invariant under the action of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. Our main result shows that any such norm that is continuous with…

Let f:X-->R be a function defined on a connected nonsingular real algebraic set X in R^n. We prove that regularity of f can be detected on either algebraic curves or surfaces in X. If dimX>1 and k is a positive integer, then f is a regular…

We study the problem of estimating the convex hull of the image $f(X)\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of a compact set $X\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ with smooth boundary through a smooth function $f:\mathbb{R}^m\to\mathbb{R}^n$. Assuming that $f$ is a…
