Here is the simplest particular case of our main result: let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a function of class $C^1$, with $\sup_{\bf R}f'>0$, such that $$\lim_{|\xi|\to +\infty}{{f(\xi)}\over {\xi}}=0\ .$$ Then, for each $\lambda>{{\pi^2}\over…

Let $G=\mathop{A\ast B}\limits_C$ be an amalgamated product of finite rank free groups $A$, $B$ and $C$. We introduce atomic measures and corresponding asymptotic densities on a set of normal forms of elements in $G$. We also define two…

We consider numbers formed by concatenating some of the base b digits from additive functions f(n) that closely resemble the prime counting function \Omega(n). If we concatenate the last \lceil y \frac{\log \log \log n}{\log b} \rceil…

We characterize the points that satisfy Birkhoff's ergodic theorem under certain computability conditions in terms of algorithmic randomness. First, we use the method of cutting and stacking to show that if an element x of the Cantor space…

The BMV conjecture for traces, which states that $Tr exp(A -\lambda B)$ is the Laplace transform of a positive measure, is shown to be equivalent to two other statements: (i) The polynomial $\lambda\mapsto Tr(A+\lambda B)^p$ has only…

We first compare several algebraic notions of normality, from a categorical viewpoint. Then we introduce an intrinsic description of Higgins' commutator for ideal-determined categories, and we define a new notion of normality in terms of…

We establish two new estimates which control a function (after subtracting its average) in $L^1$ by only the $L^1$ norm of its radial derivative. While the interior estimate holds for all superharmonic functions, the boundary version is…

As the second part of a series on linear cocycles over chaotic systems, this paper establishes a "multiple covering principle" that robustly yields positive-entropy ergodic measures supported on fiberwise uniformly bounded orbits. Using…

For $-1\le B<A\le 1$, let $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in $|z|<1$ which satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ and $\Sigma^*(A,B)$…

Let $(M,g)$ be a two dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of genus $g(M)>1$. Let $f$ be a smooth function on $M$ such that $$f \ge 0, \quad f\not\equiv 0, \quad \min_M f = 0. $$ Let $p_1,\ldots,p_n$ be any set of points at which…

The nonlinear eigen-problem $ Ax+F(x)=\lambda x$ is studied where $A$ is an $n\times n$ irreducible Stieltjes matrix. Under certain conditions, this problem has a unique positive solution. We show that, starting from a multiple of the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary and $e_\lambda$ be an $L^2$-normalized eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with respect to the metric $g$, i.e \[ -\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

For the multi-sample equal covariance function (ECF) testing problem, Zhang (2013) proposed an $L^{2}$-norm based test. However, its asymptotic power and finite sample performance have not been studied. In this paper, its asymptotic power…

Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…

Let X be a real or complex Hilbert space of finite but large dimension d, let S(X) denote the unit sphere of X, and let u denote the normalized uniform measure on S(X). For a finite subset B of S(X), we may test whether it is approximately…

We show, from a topological viewpoint, that most numbers are not normal in a strong sense. More precisely, the set of numbers $x \in (0,1]$ with the following property is comeager: for all integers $b\ge 2$ and $k\ge 1$, the sequence of…

We establish sharp regularity estimates for solutions to $Lu=f$ in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, being $L$ the generator of any stable and symmetric L\'evy process. Such nonlocal operators $L$ depend on a finite measure on $S^{n-1}$, called…

Given a finite measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$, we show that any Banach space $X(\mu)$ consisting of (equivalence classes of) real measurable functions defined on $\Omega$ such that $f \chi_A \in X(\mu) $ and $ \|f \chi_A \| \leq \|f\|,…
