In this paper we study sharp pointwise inequalities for maximal operators. In particular, we strengthen DeVore's inequality for the moduli of smoothness and a logarithmic variant of Bennett--DeVore--Sharpley's inequality for rearrangements.…

In 2003, Del Pino and Dolbeault [14] and Gentil [19] investigated, independently, best constants and extremals associated to Euclidean Lp-entropy inequalities for p > 1. In this work, we present some contributions in the Riemannian context.…

Let $M$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and $T$ a positive contraction on both $L^1(M)$ and $L^\infty(M)$. We consider ergodic averages along a random sparse subsequence determined by independent Bernoulli variables $(X_n)_{n\geq 1}$…

In this paper we study optimal lower and upper bounds for functionals involving the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_{F}(p,\Omega)$ of the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian, $1<p<+\infty$. Our aim is to enhance how, by means of the $\mathcal…

We investigate the problem of approximating the matrix function $f(A)$ by $r(A)$, with $f$ a Markov function, $r$ a rational interpolant of $f$, and $A$ a symmetric Toeplitz matrix. In a first step, we obtain a new upper bound for the…

We investigate the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages along sparse sequences evaluated at prime numbers. Our sequences arise from smooth and well-behaved functions that have polynomial growth. Central to this topic is a…

For a real-valued measurable function $f$ and a nonnegative, nondecreasing function $\phi$, we first obtain a Chebyshev type inequality which provides an upper bound for $\displaystyle \phi(\lambda_{1}) \mu(\{x \in \Omega : f(x) \geq…

A refinement of Bennett's inequality is introduced which is strictly tighter than the classical bound. The new bound establishes the convergence of the average of independent random variables to its expected value. It also carefully…

We prove that the primes below $x$ are, on average, equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli of size up to $x^{1/2+1/40-\epsilon}$. The exponent of distribution $\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{40}$ improves on a result of…

The optimal function $f$ satisfying $$ \mathbb{E} |\sum_{1}^n X_i | \ge f(\mathrbb{E}|X_1|,...,\mathbb{E}|X_n|) $$ for every martingale $(X_1,X_1+X_2, ...,\sum_{i=1}^n X_i)$ is shown to be given by $$ f(a) = \max \Big\{a_k-\sum_{i=1}^{k-1}…

Let $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and $(r_G(n) = \sum_{m_1 + m_2 = n} \Lambda(m_1) \Lambda(m_2))$ be the counting function for the Goldbach numbers. Let $N \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that $$\begin{align} &\sum_{n \le N} r_G(n)…

We prove an expanded range of $\ell ^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$-improving properties and sparse bounds for discrete spherical maximal means in every dimension $d\geq 6$. Essential elements of the proofs are bounds for high exponent averages of…

We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…

In this paper, we obtain some improved results for the exponential sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\Lambda(n)e(\alpha k n^{\theta})$ with $\theta\in(0,5/12),$ where $\Lambda(n)$ is the von Mangoldt function. Such exponential sums have relations with…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide explicit upper bounds for moduli of $\log{\mathcal{L}(s)}$ and $\mathcal{L}'(s)/\mathcal{L}(s)$ in the neighbourhood of the 1-line when $\mathcal{L}(s)$ are the Riemann, Dirichlet and…

This paper examines the problem of extrapolation of an analytic function for $x > 1$ given perturbed samples from an equally spaced grid on $[-1,1]$. Mathematical folklore states that extrapolation is in general hopelessly ill-conditioned,…

Hal\'asz's Theorem gives an upper bound for the mean value of a multiplicative function $f$. The bound is sharp for general such $f$, and, in particular, it implies that a multiplicative function with $|f(n)|\le 1$ has either mean value…

We improve on several weighted inequalities of recent interest by replacing a part of the A_p bounds by weaker A_\infty estimates involving Wilson's A_\infty constant \[ [w]_{A_\infty}':=\sup_Q\frac{1}{w(Q)}\int_Q M(w\chi_Q). \] In…

We establish the asymptotic sharpness of a Nikolskii type inequality proved by A. Baranov and R. Zarouf for rational functions $f$ in the Wiener algebra of absolutely convergent Fourier series, with at most $n$ poles, all lying outside the…
