We prove in particular that if A be a compact convex subset of R^n, and B from R^n be an arbitrary compact set then \mu (A-A) \ll \mu(A+B)^2 / (\sqrt{n} \mu (A)), provided that \mu(B)\ge \mu(A).

Denoting by $\mathcal{E}\subseteq \R^2$ the set of the pairs $(\lambda_1(\Omega),\lambda_2(\Omega))$ for all the open sets $\Omega\subseteq\R^N$ with unit measure, and by $\Theta\subseteq\R^N$ the union of two disjoint balls of half…

Let $G$ be a connected unimodular group equipped with a (left and hence right) Haar measure $\mu_G$, and suppose $A, B \subseteq G$ are nonempty and compact. An inequality by Kemperman gives us…

We study parabolic operators H = $\partial$t -- div $\lambda$,x A(x, t)$\nabla$ $\lambda$,x in the parabolic upper half space R n+2 + = {($\lambda$, x, t) : $\lambda$ > 0}. We assume that the coefficients are real, bounded, measurable,…

Let A be a finite set of integers. We prove that if |A| is at least 2 and |A+A| is 3|A|-3, then one of the following is true: 1. A is a bi-arithmetic progression; 2. A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length 2|A|-1; 3. |A| is 6 and A…

A variation on the sum-product problem seeks to show that a set which is defined by additive and multiplicative operations will always be large. In this paper, we prove new results of this type. In particular, we show that for any finite…

Let $K: \boldsymbol{\Omega}\times \boldsymbol{\Omega}$ be a continuous Mercer kernel defined on a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $\mathcal{H}_K$ be the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) associated with $K$. Given a finite…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

Let $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ denote the maximal absolute projection constant over the subspaces of dimension $m$. Apart from the trivial case for $ m=1$, the only known value of $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ is for $ m=2$ and…

Let $A$ be a subset of integers and let $2\cdot A+k\cdot A=\{2a_1+ka_2 : a_1,a_2\in A\}$. Y. O. Hamidoune and J. Ru\' e proved that if $k$ is an odd prime and $A$ a finite set of integers such that $|A|>8k^k$, then $|2\cdot A+k\cdot A|\ge…

We prove that the pigeonhole upper bound $\lambda(s,m) \leq \binom{m}{2}(s+1)$ is asymptotically tight whenever $s/\!\sqrt{m} \to \infty$. In particular, $\lambda(s,m) \sim \binom{m}{2}\,s$ in this regime. As corollaries: $\lambda(n,n)/n^3…

We establish new bounds in the Bogolyubov-Ruzsa lemma, demonstrating that if A is a subset of a finite abelian group with density alpha, then 3A-3A contains a Bohr set of rank O(log^2 (2/alpha)) and radius Omega(log^{-2} (2/alpha)). The…

We impose standard $ T1 $-type assumptions on a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $ T $, and deduce that for bounded compactly supported functions $ f, g $ there is a sparse bilinear form $ \Lambda $ so that $$ \lvert \langle T f, g \rangle\rvert…

The entropic doubling $\sigma_{\operatorname{ent}}[X]$ of a random variable $X$ taking values in an abelian group $G$ is a variant of the notion of the doubling constant $\sigma[A]$ of a finite subset $A$ of $G$, but it enjoys somewhat…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ real matrix, and let $M$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix whose entries are i.i.d sub-Gaussian random variables with mean $0$ and variance $1$. We make two contributions to the study of $s_n(A+M)$, the smallest…

We show that for any coprime integers $\lambda_1 , \ldots , \lambda_k$ and any finite $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$, one has $$|\lambda_1 \cdot A + \ldots + \lambda_k \cdot A| \geq (|\lambda_1| + \ldots + |\lambda_k|)|A|- C,$$ where $C$ only…

Fix $\lambda>-1/2$ and $\lambda \not=0$. Consider the Bessel operator (introduced by Muckenhoupt--Stein) $\triangle_\lambda:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}-\frac{2\lambda}{x} \frac d{dx}$ on $\mathbb{R_+}:=(0,\infty)$ with…

For a general Calderon-Zygmund operator $T$ on $R^N$, it is shown that $\|Tf\|_{L^2(w)}\leq C(T)\|w\|_{A_2}\|f\|_{L^2(w)}$ for all Muckenhoupt weights $w\in A_2$. This optimal estimate was known as the $A_2$ conjecture. A recent result of…

We exhibit a large class of symbols $m$ on $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$, for which the corresponding Fourier multipliers $T_m$ satisfy the following inequality. If $D$, $E$ are measurable subsets of $\R^d$ with $E\subseteq D$ and $|D|<\infty$, then $$…

Given a set of integers $A$ and an integer $k$, write $A+k\cdot A$ for the set $\{a+kb:a\in A,b\in A\}$. Hanson and Petridis showed that if $|A+A|\le K|A|$ then $|A+2\cdot A|\le K^{2.95}|A|$. At a presentation of this result, Petridis…
