Even though Zaremba's conjecture remains open, Bourgain and Kontorovich solved the problem for a full density subset. Nevertheless, there are only a handful of explicit sequences known to satisfy the strong version of the conjecture, all of…

We are concerned with the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations for compressible fluids in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Motivated by the Kolmogorov hypothesis (1941) for incompressible flow, we introduce a Kolmogorov-type…

The Littlewood conjecture, proven by Konyagin and McGehee-Pigno-Smith in the 1980s, states that if $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is a finite set of integers with $\lvert A\rvert=N$ then $\| \widehat{1_A}\|_1\geq c\log N$ for some absolute constant…

The Han-Li conjecture states that: Let $(M,g_0)$ be an $n$-dimensional $(n\geq 3)$ smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary having positive (generalized) Yamabe constant and $c$ be any real number, then there exists a conformal…

We study the approximation of arbitrary distributions $P$ on $d$-dimensional space by distributions with log-concave density. Approximation means minimizing a Kullback--Leibler-type functional. We show that such an approximation exists if…

We prove that for any log-concave random vector $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with mean zero and identity covariance, $$ \mathbb{E} (|X| - \sqrt{n})^2 \leq C $$ where $C > 0$ is a universal constant. Thus, most of the mass of the random vector $X$…

This paper provides a complete proof of Simon-Lukic conjecture for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. For a probability measure $d\mu = w(\theta) \frac{d\theta}{2\pi} + d\mu_s$ with Verblunsky coefficients…

We prove that every closed hyperbolic 3-manifold has a family of (possibly infinite sheeted) coverings with the property that the Cheeger constants in the family tend to zero. This is used to show that, if in addition the fundamental group…

We present a general subadditivity inequality for log-Sobolev constants of convolution measures. As a corollary, we show that the log-Sobolev constant is monotone along the sequence of standardized convolutions in the central limit theorem.

We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…

Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Bor\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{BLYZ}, and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It…

We prove log-concavity of the lengths of the top rows of Young diagrams under Poissonized Plancherel measure. This is the first known positive result towards a 2008 conjecture of Chen that the length of the top row of a Young diagram under…

We use a Korevaar-style maximum principle approach to show the following: Fixing a $C^{2}$ bound on the log densities of a set of smooth measures, there is a quantifiably-sized Wasserstein neighborhood over which all pairs of such measures…

Let $Q_n(z)$ be the polynomials associated with the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula $$\sum_{n\geq 1} Q_n(z) q^n := \prod_{m = 1}^\infty (1 - q^m)^{-z - 1}.$$ In this paper we partially answer a conjecture of Heim and Neuhauser, which asks if…

L.Bondesson [1] conjectured that the density of a positive $\alpha$-stable distribution is hyperbolically completely monotone (HCM in short) if and only if $\alpha$ $\le$ 1/2. This was proved recently by P. Bosch and Th. Simon, who also…

For an isotropic convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ we consider the isotropic constant $L_{K_N}$ of the symmetric random polytope $K_N$ generated by $N$ independent random points which are distributed according to the cone probability…

In this paper, we study the conjecture of Gardner and Zvavitch from \cite{GZ}, which suggests that the standard Gaussian measure $\gamma$ enjoys $\frac{1}{n}$-concavity with respect to the Minkowski addition of \textbf{symmetric} convex…

In recent work the authors proposed a broad global well-posedness conjecture for cubic defocusing dispersive equations in one space dimension, and then proved this conjecture in two cases, namely for one dimensional semilinear and…

Let N > n, and denote by K the convex hull of N independent standard gaussian random vectors in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove that with high probability, the isotropic constant of K is bounded by a universal constant. Thus we…

Dynamics arising persistently in smooth dynamical systems ranges from regular dynamics (periodic, quasiperiodic) to strongly chaotic dynamics (Anosov, uniformly hyperbolic, nonuniformly hyperbolic modelled by Young towers). The latter…
