The subject of the present paper is the phenomenon of vanishing of the Green function of the operator $-\Delta + V$ on $\mathbb R^3$ at the points where a potential $V$ has positive critical singularities. More precisely, imposing minimal…

We give a very simple proof of the positivity and unimodality of the Green function for the killed fractional Laplacian on the periodic domain. The argument relies on the Jacobi triple product and a probabilistic representation of the Green…

In this note we derive a sharp concentration inequality for the supremum of a smooth random field over a finite dimensional set. It is shown that this supremum can be bounded with high probability by the value of the field at some…

We show a pointwise estimate for the Fourier transform on the line involving the number of times the function changes monotonicity. The contrapositive of the theorem may be used to find a lower bound to the number of local maxima of a…
By relating the number of images of a function with finite domain to a certain parameter, we obtain both an upper and lower bound for the image set. Even though the arguments are elementary, the bounds are, in some sense, best possible. The…
