Let $\mathcal S$ denote the class of all functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $\ID$ and, for $\lambda >0$, let $\Phi_\lambda (n,f)=\lambda a_n^2-a_{2n-1}$ denote the…

In this article, we prove two new versions of a theorem proven by Efron in [Efr65]. Efron's theorem says that if a function $\phi : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is non-decreasing in each argument then we have that the function $s…

Lazarev and Lieb showed that finitely many integrable functions from the unit interval to $\mathbb{C}$ can be simultaneously annihilated in the $L^2$ inner product by a smooth function to the unit circle. Here we answer a question of…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

We generalize a theorem of Bellow and Calder\'on concerning the a.e. convergence of the convolution powers $\ds \mu^nf(x)=\sum_{k}\mu^n(k)f(T^k x)$ where $T$ is a measure preserving transformation of a probability space and $\mu$ is a…

Polynomial sequence ${P_m}_{m\geq0}$ is $q$-logarithmically concave if $P_{m}^2-P_{m+1}P_{m-1}$ is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients for any $m\geq{1}$. We introduce an analogue of this notion for formal power series whose…

We prove that if $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex and $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ has finite measure, then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there is a convex function $g:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ of class $C^{1,1}$ such that $\mathcal{L}^n(\{x\in…

Generalized Haag's theorem has been proved in S O (1, k) invariant quantum field theory. Apart from the above mentioned k+1 variables there can be arbitrary number of additional coordinates including noncommutative ones in the theory. New…

Let $\phi$ be a smooth function on a compact interval $I$. Let $$\gamma(t)=\left (t,t^2,\cdots,t^{n-1},\phi(t)\right).$$ In this paper, we show that $$\left(\int_I \big|\hat f(\gamma(t))\big|^q \big|\phi^{(n)}(t)\big|^{\frac{2}{n(n+1)}}…

The well-known Zalcman conjecture, which implies the Bieberbach conjecture, states that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^{\infty} a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$ for all $n…

The familiar second derivative test for convexity, combined with resolvent calculus, is shown to yield a useful tool for the study of convex matrix-valued functions. We demonstrate the applicability of this approach on a number of theorems…

Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…

Hille's theorem is a powerful classical result in vector measure theory. It asserts that the application of a closed, unbounded linear operator commutes with strong/Bochner integration of functions taking values in a Banach space. This note…

We obtain sharp estimates for a generalized Zalcman coefficient functional with a complex parameter for the Hurwitz class and the Noshiro-Warschawski class of univalent functions as well as for the closed convex hulls of the convex and…

We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…

A fundamental theorem of Liouville asserts that positive entire harmonic functions in Euclidean spaces must be constant. A remarkable Liouville-type theorem of Caffarelli-Gidas-Spruck states that positive entire solutions of $-\Delta u=u^{…

A conjecture posed by S. Hayajneh and F. Kittaneh claims that given $A,B$ positive matrices, $0\le t\le 1$, and any unitarily invariant norm it holds $|||A^tB^{1-t}+B^tA^{1-t}|||\le|||A^tB^{1-t}+A^{1-t}B^t|||$. Recently, R. Bhatia proved…

We show that for any log-concave measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, any pair of symmetric convex sets $K$ and $L$, and any $\lambda\in [0,1],$ $$\mu((1-\lambda) K+\lambda L)^{c_n}\geq (1-\lambda) \mu(K)^{c_n}+\lambda\mu(L)^{c_n},$$ where…

We prove the Hardy-Littlewood theorem in two dimensions for functions whose Fourier coefficients obey general monotonicity conditions and, importantly, are not necessarily positive. The sharpness of the result is given by a counterexample,…

We prove a general multiplier theorem for symmetric left-invariant sub-Laplacians with drift on non-compact Lie groups. This considerably improves and extends a result by Hebisch, Mauceri, and Meda. Applications include groups of polynomial…
