Let $\Lambda$ be the limiting smallest eigenvalue in the general (\beta, a)-Laguerre ensemble of random matrix theory. Here \beta>0, a >-1; for \beta=1,2,4 and integer a, this object governs the singular values of certain rank n Gaussian…
We generalize the second pinching theorem for minimal hypersurfaces in a sphere due to Peng-Terng, Wei-Xu, Zhang, and Ding-Xin to the case of hypersurfaces with small constant mean curvature. Let $M^n$ be a compact hypersurface with…
In this paper, we study the best constant of the following discrete Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, \begin{equation} \sum_{i,j,i\neq j}\frac{f_{i}g_{j}}{\mid i-j\mid^{n-\alpha}}\leq C_{r,s,\alpha} |f|_{l^r} |g|_{l^s},…
We prove a local contraction property for holomorphic functions that are nearly constant, relating weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_\alpha(\B_n)$ and $A^q_\beta(\B_n)$. Our approach converts geometric information on weighted superlevel sets…
Given a compact convex domain $C\subset \mathbb{R}^k$ and bounded measurable functions $f_1,\ldots,f_n:C\to \mathbb{R}$, define the sup-convolution $(f_1\ast \ldots \ast f_n)(z)$ to be the supremum average value of…
The Rankin constant $\gamma_{n,l}$ measures the largest volume of the densest sublattice of rank $l$ of a lattice $\Lambda\in \RR^n$ over all such lattices of rank $n$. The Berg\'e-Martinet constant $\gamma'_{n,l}$ is a variation that takes…
Let $1/2\leq\beta<1$, $p$ be a generic prime number and $f_\beta$ be a random multiplicative function supported on the squarefree integers such that $(f_\beta(p))_{p}$ is an i.i.d. sequence of random variables with distribution…
Let $\beta\in(1,2)$ and let $H_\beta$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution $\mu_\beta$ associated with $\beta$. In the present paper we show that $H_\beta>0.82$ for all $\beta \in (1, 2)$ and improve this bound for certain…
For a real number $t$, let $s_t$ be the multiplicative arithmetic function defined by $\displaystyle{s_t(p^{\alpha})=\sum_{j=0}^{\alpha}(-p^t)^j}$ for all primes $p$ and positive integers $\alpha$. We show that the range of a function…
We give a "regularity lemma" for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {-1,1}^n. This result shows that every degree-d PTF can be decomposed into a constant number of subfunctions such that almost all of the…
Let ${\bf P}_k^{(\alpha, \beta)} (x)$ be an orthonormal Jacobi polynomial of degree $k.$ We will establish the following inequality \begin{equation*} \max_{x \in [\delta_{-1},\delta_1]}\sqrt{(x- \delta_{-1})(\delta_1-x)}…
We establish new estimates for the constant $J_a(k,\alpha)$ in the Brudnyi-Jackson inequality for approximation of $f \in C[-1,1]$ by algebraic polynomials: $$ E_{n}^a (f) \le J_a(k, \alpha) \ \omega_k (f, \alpha \pi /n ), \quad \alpha >0…
In this paper, we study the uniqueness of the differential-difference of meromorphic functions. We prove the following result: Let $f$ be a nonconstant meromorphic function of $\rho_{2}(f)<1$, let $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number,…
We explore the optimality of the constants making valid the recently established Little Grothendieck inequality for JB$^*$-triples and JB$^*$-algebras. In our main result we prove that for each bounded linear operator $T$ from a…
The main result of this paper is: {\bf Theorem.} Let $f:\mathbb{R}^k\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a $C^{1}$ function, so that $\nabla f$ is locally Lipschitz continuous. Assume moreover that $f$ is $C^2$ near its generalised saddle points. Fix…
The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…
Let $\|\!\cdot\!\|_p$ denote the Schatten $p$-norm of matrices and $\|\!\cdot\!\|_F$ the Frobenius norm. For a square matrix $X$, let $|X|$ denote its absolute value. In 2010, Eun-Young Lee posed the problem of determining the smallest…
