In this paper, we fully resolve the question of whether the Regularity problem for the parabolic PDE $-\partial_tu + \mbox{div}(A\nabla u)=0$ on a Lipschitz cylinder $\mathcal O\times\mathbb R$ is solvable for some $p\in (1,\infty)$ under…

This paper concerns a long-standing problem raised by Beurling and Wintner on completeness of the dilation system $\{\varphi(kx):k=1,2,\cdots\}$ generated by the odd periodic extension on $\mathbb{R}$ of any $\varphi\in L^2[0,1]$. Up to now…

We show that maximal causal curves for a Lipschitz continuous Lorentzian metric admit a $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$-parametrization and that they solve the geodesic equation in the sense of Filippov in this parametrization. Our proof shows that…

In this paper, we prove well-posedness in $C^1(\mathbb{R})$ (a.k.a. classical solutions) of the Fornberg-Whitham equation. To achieve this objective, we study its weak formulation under a Lagrangian framework. Applying the fundamental…

We show that for any polynomial $F(X,Y_0,Y_1,Y_2) \in \mathbb{C}[X, Y_0, Y_1, Y_2]$, the equation $F(z,j(z),j'(z),j''(z))=0$ has a Zariski dense set of solutions in the hypersurface $F(X,Y_0,Y_1,Y_2)=0$, unless $F$ is in $\mathbb{C}[X]$ or…

We investigate variable coefficient analogs of a recent work of Bortz, Hofmann, Martell and Nystr\"om [BHMN25]. In particular, we show that if $\Omega$ is the region above the graph of a Lip(1,1/2) (parabolic Lipschitz) function and $L$ is…

We consider parabolic equations with operators $\mathcal{L}=\partial_{t}+a^{ij}D_{ij}+b^{i}D_{i}-c$ with $a$ being almost in VMO, $b$ in a Morrey class containing $ L_{d+2}$ and $c $ in a Morrey class containing $L_{(d+2)/2}$. We prove the…

For Hill's equation on [0,infinity) we prove new characterizations of the spectral function rho(lambda) and the spectral density function f(lambda) based on analysis involving a companion system of first order differential equations in…

In 1951, Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla published a brief note containing four congruence relations involving the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ for positive squarefree integers $d\equiv 1 \bmod{4}$. Many of the ideas present in their…

In this paper, we show the following; (1) The periodic zeta function ${\rm{Li}}_s (e^{2\pi ia})$ with $0<a<1/2$ or $1/2 < a <1$ does not vanish on the real line. (2) All real zeros of $Y(s,a):=\zeta (s,a) - \zeta (s,1-a)$, $O(s,a) := -i…

Let $0<\alpha<2$, $\beta>0$ and $\alpha/2<|s|\leq 1$. In a previous work, we obtained all possible values of the Lebesgue exponent $p=p(\gamma)$ for which the Fourier transform of $ E_{\alpha,\beta}(e^{\dot{\imath}\pi s} |\cdot|^{\gamma} )$…
