The best uniform polynomial approximation of the checkmark function $f(x)=|x-\alpha |$ is considered, as $\alpha$ varies in $(-1,1)$. For each fixed degree $n$, the minimax error $E_n (\alpha)$ is shown to be piecewise analytic in $\alpha$.…
In this paper, we consider the relationship between the Mahler measure of a polynomial and its separation. In 1964, Mahler proved that if $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is separable of degree $n$, then $\operatorname{sep}(f) \gg_n M(f)^{-(n-1)}$.…
Assume that $\mathfrak A$ is a real Banach space of finite dimension $n\geq2$. Consider any Borel probability measure $\nu$ supported on the unit ball $K$ of $\mathfrak A$. We show that \[\Delta(\nu)=\int_{x \in K}\int_{ y\in…
In 1994, Talagrand showed a generalization of the celebrated KKL theorem. In this work, we prove that the converse of this generalization also holds. Namely, for any sequence of numbers $0<a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n\le 1$ such that $\sum_{j=1}^n…
For all $p>1$ and all centrally symmetric convex bodies $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ define $Mf$ as the centered maximal function associated to $K$. We show that when $d=1$ or $d=2$, we have $||Mf||_p\ge (1+\epsilon(p,K))||f||_p$. For $d\ge 3$,…
Generalizing Fujita-Odaka invariant, we define a function $\tilde{\delta}$ on a set of generalized $b$-divisors over a smooth Fano variety. This allows us to provide a new characterization of uniform $K$-stability. A key role is played by a…
We prove an optimal bound in twelve dimensions for the uncertainty principle of Bourgain, Clozel, and Kahane. Suppose $f \colon \mathbb{R}^{12} \to \mathbb{R}$ is an integrable function that is not identically zero. Normalize its Fourier…
A generalization of the Davenport constant is investigated. For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $k$, let $D_k(G)$ denote the smallest $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has $k$ disjoint…
We formulate a quantitative finite-dimensional conjecture about frame multipliers and prove that it is equivalent to Conjecture 1 in [SB2]. We then present solutions to the conjecture for certain classes of frame multipliers. In particular,…
As shown in [A1], the lowest constants appearing in the weak type (1,1) inequalities satisfied by the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain finite radial measures, grow exponentially fast with the dimension. Here…
We show some preservation results of amenably extending strongly Ulam stable groups under mild decay assumptions, including quantitative preservation of asymptotic bounds under the assumption that the modulus of stability is H\"older…
Suppose $[\mu]_{T(\Delta)}$ is a point of the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\Delta)$. In 1998, it was shown by Bo\v{z}in et al. that there exists $\mu$ such that $\mu$ has non-constant modulus and is uniquely extremal in…
Let $p(z)=zf'(z)/f(z)$ for a function $f(z)$ analytic on the unit disk $|z|<1$ in the complex plane and normalized by $f(0)=0, f'(0)=1.$ We will provide lower and upper bounds for the best constants $\delta_0$ and $\delta_1$ such that the…
The general theme of this note is illustrated by the following theorem: Theorem 1. Suppose $K$ is a compact set in the complex plane and 0 belongs to the boundary $\partial K$. Let ${\cal A}(K)$ denote the space of all functions $f$ on $K$…
Let $K/F$ be a finite extension of number fields of degree $n \geq 2$. We establish effective field-uniform unconditional upper bounds for the least norm of a prime ideal of $F$ which is degree 1 over $\mathbb{Q}$ and does not ramify or…
A subset of a topological space is said to be \emph{universally measurable} if it is measured by the completion of each countably additive $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on the space, and \emph{universally null} if it has measure zero for…
The classical theorem of Bloch (1924) asserts that if $f$ is a holomorphic function on a region that contains the closed unit disk $|z|\leq 1$ such that $f(0) = 0$ and $|f'(0)| = 1$, then the image domain contains discs of radius…
Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The fast escaping set $A(f)$, various regularity conditions on the growth of the maximum modulus of $f$, and also, more recently, the quite fast escaping set $Q(f)$ have all been used to make…
Suppose that $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a uniformly rectifiable set of codimension $1$. We show that every harmonic function is $\varepsilon$-approximable in $L^p(\Omega)$ for every $p \in (1,\infty)$, where $\Omega := \mathbb{R}^{n+1}…
We study two important numerical invariants, Hilbert--Kunz multiplicity and $F$-signature, on the spectrum of a Noetherian $\mathbf{F}_p$-algebra $R$ that is not necessarily $F$-finite. When $R$ is excellent, we show that the limits…
