Suppose that $f$ is a transcendental entire function. In 2014, Rippon and Stallard showed that the union of the escaping set with infinity is always connected. In this paper we consider the related question of whether the union with…

We study the existence of maximal ideals in preadditive categories defining an order $\preceq$ between objects, in such a way that if there do not exist maximal objects with respect to $\preceq$, then there is no maximal ideal in the…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a sub-modulus field such that $2 \neq 0$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a sub-normed linear space over $\mathbb{F}$. Then we show that \begin{align*} \bigg|\|x\|-\|y\|\bigg|\leq \frac{2}{|2|}\|x+y\|+\frac{2}{|2|}\max\{\|x-y\|,…

In this note we describe some recent advances in the area of maximal function inequalities. We also study the behaviour of the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain families of doubling, radial decreasing…

For entire functions $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}a_nz^n, z\in {\Bbb C},$ P. L${\rm \acute{e}}$vy (1929) established that in the classical Wiman's inequality $M_f(r)\leq\mu_f(r)\times $ $\times(\ln\mu_f(r))^{1/2+\varepsilon},\ \varepsilon>0,$…

The main result of this paper is a proof of the continuity of a family of integral functionals defined on the space of functions of bounded variation with respect to a topology under which smooth functions are dense. These functionals occur…

In this paper, we present a more complete version of the minimax theorem established in [7]. As a consequence, we get, for instance, the following result: Let $X$ be a compact, not singleton subset of a normed space $(E,\|\cdot\|)$ and let…

We prove that the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with Dirichlet characters in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ are universal. That is, given a modulus of high enough degree, $L$-functions with characters to this modulus can be found that approximate…

In this work we prove that certain entire $q$-functions have infinitely many nonzero roots $\left\{ \rho_{n}\right\} _{n=1}^{\infty}$, as $n\to+\infty$ the moduli $\left|\rho_{n}\right|$ grow at least exponentially. Applications to entire…

We establish that the map $f\mapsto |\nabla \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}f|$ is continuous from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\alpha\in (0,d)$, $q=\frac{d}{d-\alpha}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}$ denotes either the centered…

We show that if the growth of a transcendental entire function f is sufficiently regular, then the Julia set and the escaping set of f have Hausdorff dimension 2.

The dynamical behaviour of a transcendental entire function in any periodic component of the Fatou set is well understood. Here we study the dynamical behaviour of a transcendental entire function $f$ in any multiply connected wandering…

Baker proved that for transcendental entire functions there is at most one completely invariant component of the Fatou set. It was observed by Julien Duval that there is a missing case in Baker's proof. In this article we follow Baker's…

Let $M$ denote the centered Hardy--Littlewood operator on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that \[ {\rm Var} (Mf)\le {\rm Var} (f) - \frac12\big| |f(\infty)|-|f(-\infty)|\big| \] for piecewise constant functions $f$ with nonzero and zero values…

We obtain new results pertaining to convergence and recurrence of multiple ergodic averages along functions from a Hardy field. Among other things, we confirm some of the conjectures posed by Frantzikinakis in [Fra10; Fra16] and obtain…

We use Bowen's definition of topological entropy and Ahlfors five islands theorem, as well as the theory of polynomial-like mappings, to show that the topological entropy of any entire transcendental function is infinity. In addition the…

We show that there is a transcendental meromorphic function with an invariant Baker domain $U$ such that every singular value of $f$ is a super-attracting periodic point. This answers a question of Bergweiler from 1993. We also show that…

Let $f$ be Fatou's function, that is, $f(z)= z+1+e^{-z}$. We prove that the escaping set of $f$ has the structure of a `spider's web' and we show that this result implies that the non-escaping endpoints of the Julia set of $f$ together with…

We show that for any sequence $f: {\bf N} \to \{-1,+1\}$ taking values in $\{-1,+1\}$, the discrepancy $$ \sup_{n,d \in {\bf N}} \left|\sum_{j=1}^n f(jd)\right| $$ of $f$ is infinite. This answers a question of Erd\H{o}s. In fact the…

We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c<d_c. Next we prove that the Martin Axiom for sigma --centered forcing notions implies that for every function f:R^2…
