This paper concerns integral varifolds of arbitrary dimension in an open subset of Euclidean space with its first variation given by either a Radon measure or a function in some Lebesgue space. Pointwise decay results for the quadratic…
In this note, we establish superiority of the so-called copositive bound over a bound suggested by Nesterov for the quadratic problem to minimize a quadratic form over the l1-ball. We illustrate the improvement by simulation results. The…
The main result of this note is the strengthening of a quite arbitrary a priori Fourier restriction estimate to a multi-parameter maximal estimate of the same type. This allows us to discuss a certain multi-parameter Lebesgue point property…
Motivated by Stillman's question, we show that the projective dimension of an ideal generated by four quadric forms in a polynomial ring is at most 6; moreover, this bound is tight. We achieve this bound, in part, by giving a…
It is well-known that the Fourier extension operator for the paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ cannot be weak-type bounded at the restriction endpoint $q = 2d/(d-1)$, since such an estimate would imply bounds for the Kakeya maximal function…
Bennett, Carbery and Tao considered the $k$-linear restriction estimate in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and established the near optimal $L^\frac2{k-1}$ estimate under transversality assumptions only. We have shown that the trilinear restriction…
We study an expansion method for high-dimensional parabolic PDEs which constructs accurate approximate solutions by decomposition into solutions to lower-dimensional PDEs, and which is particularly effective if there are a low number of…
We provide a general scheme for proving $L^p$ estimates for certain bilinear Fourier restrictions outside the locally $L^2$ setting. As an application, we show how such estimates follow for the lacunary polygon. In contrast with prior…
We prove new $L^p$-$L^q$-estimates for solutions to elliptic differential operators with constant coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We use the estimates for the decay of the Fourier transform of particular surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…
We consider scattering by star-shaped obstacles in hyperbolic space and show that resonances satisfy a universal bound $\mathrm{Im}\,\lambda \leq -\frac{1}{2}$ which is optimal in dimension $2$. In odd dimensions we also show that…
We give a new proof of a classic Fourier restriction theorem for the truncated paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^n$ based on the $l^2$ decoupling theorem of Bourgain-Demeter. Focusing on the extension formulation of the restriction problem (dual to…
For integers $1 < k < d-1$ and $r \ge k+2$, we establish new lower bounds on the maximum number of points in $[n]^d$ such that no $r$ lie in a $k$-dimensional affine (or linear) subspace. These bounds improve on earlier results of…
Let h_R denote an L ^{\infty} normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle R contained in the unit cube in dimension d. We establish a non-trivial lower bound on the L^{\infty} norm of the `hyperbolic' sums $$ \sum _{|R|=2 ^{-n}}…
We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…
An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…
The projective variety of Lie algebra structures on a 4-dimensional vector space has four irreducible components of dimension 11. We compute their prime ideals in the polynomial ring in 24 variables. By listing their degrees and Hilbert…
We use the polynomial partitioning method of Guth to prove weighted Fourier restriction estimates in $\Bbb R^3$ with exponents $p$ that range between $3$ and $3.25$, depending on the weight. As a corollary to our main theorem, we obtain new…
In this article we revisit some classical conjectures in harmonic analysis in the setting of mixed norm spaces $L^p_{rad} L^2_{ang} (\mathbb{R}^n)$. We produce sharp bounds for the restriction of the Fourier transform to compact…
In 1901, Severi proved that if $Z$ is an irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^4(\mathbb{C})$ that contains a three dimensional set of lines, then $Z$ is either a quadratic hypersurface or a scroll of planes. We prove a discretized…
For a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation on the $R$-radius $d$-dimensional hypersphere, we compute the azimuthal Fourier coefficients in closed form in two and three dimensions. We also compute the Gegenbauer polynomial expansion…
