We study the weak-field deflection of light by mass distributions described by two-power-law densities $\rho(R)=\rho_0 R^{-\alpha}(R+1)^{\beta-\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are non-negative integers. New analytic expressions of…
We develop several aspects of the infinite-dimensional Weak KAM theory using a random variables' approach. We prove that the infinite-dimensional cell problem admits a viscosity solution that is a fixed point of the Lax-Oleinik semigroup.…
We show that the assumption of a weak form of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on the Goldbach problem suffices to disprove the possible existence of exceptional zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. This strengthens a result of the authors named…
We study the harmonically weighted one-level density of low-lying zeros of $L$-functions in the family of holomorpic newforms of fixed even weight $k$ and prime level $N$ tending to infinity. For this family, Iwaniec, Luo and Sarnak proved…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper and lower bounds with explicit main terms for $\log{\left|\cL(s)\right|}$ for $\sigma \in (1/2,1)$ and for functions in the Selberg class. In particular, we focus on the…
We calculate certain "wide moments" of central values of Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions $L(\pi\otimes \Omega, 1/2)$ where $\pi$ is a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\Omega$ is a Hecke character…
Let $f$ and $g$ be spectrally normalized holomorphic newforms of even weight $k \geq2$ on $\Gamma_0(q)$. If $f\neq g$, then assume that $q$ is squarefree. For a nice test function $\psi$ supported on $\Gamma_0(1)\backslash\mathbb{H}$, we…
We consider the transmission eigenvalue problem for an impenetrable obstacle with Dirichlet boundary condition surrounded by a thin layer of non-absorbing inhomogeneous material. We derive a rigorous asymptotic expansion for the first…
We study a double Dirichlet series of the form $\sum_{d}L(s,\chi_{d}\chi)\chi'(d)d^{-w}$, where $\chi$ and $\chi'$ are quadratic Dirichlet characters with prime conductors $N$ and $M$ respectively. A functional equation group isomorphic to…
We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
Weak gravitational lensing surveys have the potential to directly probe mass density fluctuation in the universe. Recent studies have shown that it is possible to model the statistics of the convergence field at small angular scales by…
We establish standard zero-free regions with no exceptional Landau-Siegel zeros for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions and triple product $L$-functions in several new families for which modularity is not yet known.
We compute the one-level density of zeros of order $\ell$ Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ for $\ell=3,4$ in the Kummer setting ($q\equiv1\pmod{\ell}$) and for $\ell=3,4,6$ in the non-Kummer setting…
In this article, we consider minimal $L^2$ integrals on the sublevel sets of plurisubharmonic functions on weakly pseudoconvex K\"ahler manifolds with Lebesgue measurable gain related to modules at boundary points of the sublevel sets, and…
We prove a version of the Extra-zero conjecture formulated by the first named author for p-adic L-functions associated to Rankin-Selberg convolutions of modular forms of the same weight. The novelty of this result is to provide strong…
A standard zero free region is obtained for Rankin Selberg L-functions $L(s, f\times \widetilde{f})$ where $f$ is an almost everywhere tempered Maass form on $GL(n)$ and $f$ is not necessarily self dual. The method is based on the theory of…
Simple unsmoothed formulas to compute the Riemann zeta function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions to a power-full modulus, are derived by elementary means (Taylor expansions and the geometric series). The formulas enable square-root of the…
This article is about two types of restrictions of eigenfunctions $\phi_j$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: First, we restrict to a submanifold $H \subset M$, and expand the restriction $\gamma_H \phi_j$ in eigenfunctions $e_k$ of…
The paper introduces a general strategy for identifying strong local minimizers of variational functionals. It is based on the idea that any variation of the integral functional can be evaluated directly in terms of the appropriate…
We prove an explicit log-free zero density estimate and an explicit version of the zero-repulsion phenomenon of Deuring and Heilbronn for Hecke $L$-functions. In forthcoming work of the second author, these estimates will be used to…
