A method is presented for proving upper bounds on the moments of the position operator when the dynamics of quantum wavepackets is governed by a random (possibly correlated) Jacobi matrix. As an application, one obtains sharp upper bounds…

The goal of this article is to discuss a recent conjecture of the two authors, which aims to describe the long time behavior of solutions to one-dimensional dispersive equations with cubic and higher nonlinearities. These problems arguably…

We prove bounds on approximate incidences between families of circles and families of points in the plane. As a consequence, we prove a lower bound for the dimension of circular $(u,v)$-Furstenberg sets, which is new for large $u$ and $v$.

We prove a higher-rank analogue of a well-known result of W. M. Schmidt concerning almost everywhere pointwise discrepancy bounds for lattices in Euclidean space (see Theorem 1 [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 95 (1960), 516-529]). We also…

We apply polynomial techniques (linear programming) to obtain lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of spherical designs as function of their dimension, strength, and cardinality. In terms of inner products we improve the lower…

Fix a subset $I\subseteq \mathbb R_{>0}$ such that $\gamma=\inf\{ \sum_{i}n_ib_i-1>0 \mid n_i\in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}, b_i\in I \}>0$. We give a explicit upper bound $\ell(\gamma)\in O(1/\gamma^2)$ as $\gamma\to 0$, such that for any smooth…

In this paper, we study the lower- and upper-bounded covering (LUC) problem, where we are given a set $P$ of $n$ points, a collection $\mathcal{B}$ of balls, and parameters $L$ and $U$. The goal is to find a minimum-sized subset…

We give a partial negative answer to a question left open in a previous work by Brasco and the first and third-named authors concerning the sharp constant in the fractional Hardy inequality on convex sets. Our approach has a geometrical…

We bound the rate of uniform convergence in compact sets for both entropic potentials and their gradients towards the Brenier potential and its gradient, respectively. Both results hold in the quadratic Euclidean setting for absolutely…

We derive a new estimate of the size of finite sets of points in metric spaces with few distances. The following applications are considered: (1) we improve the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson bound of the size of uniform intersecting families of…

Best possible bounds are obtained for the concentration function of an additive arithmetic function on sequences of shifted primes.

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with periodic dispersion management. We first establish global-in-time Strichartz estimates for the underlying linear equation with suitable dispersion maps. As an application, we establish a…

It has recently been shown that there are substantial differences in the regularity behavior of the empirical process based on scalar diffusions as compared to the classical empirical process, due to the existence of diffusion local time.…

We expand the classic variational formulation of $-\log\mathbb{E}\left[e^{-f}\right]$ to the case where f depends on a diffusion, and not only a on Brownian motion, while decreasing the integrability hypothesis on f. We also give an…

We estimate the number of zeros of a polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[z]$ within any small circular disc centered on the unit circle, which improves and comprehensively extends a result established by Borwein, Erd{\'e}lyi, and Littmann~\cite{BE1}…

We provide probabilistic lower bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples. These bounds are sharp in the sense that they match the recent probabilistic upper bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples proved…

We introduce darning of compact sets (darning and gluing of finite unions of compact sets), which are not thin at any of their points, in a potential-theoretic framework which may be described, analytically, in terms of harmonic…

I derive a temporally propagated uni-directional optical pulse equation valid in the few cycle limit. Temporal propagation is advantageous because it naturally preserves causality, unlike the competing spatially propagated models. The exact…

Pseudoline arrangements are fundamental objects in discrete and computational geometry, and different works have tackled the problem of improving the known bounds on the number of simple arrangements of $n$ pseudolines over the past…
