A great challenge in the analysis of the discrepancy function D_N is to obtain universal lower bounds on the L-infty norm of D_N in dimensions d \geq 3. It follows from the average case bound of Klaus Roth that the L-infty norm of D_N is at…

We consider the higher order buckling eigenvalues of the following Dirichlet poly-Laplacian in the unit sphere $(-\Delta)^p u=\Lambda (-\Delta) u$ with order $p(\geq2)$. We obtain universal bounds on the $(k+1)$th eigenvalue in terms of the…

In this paper, we study Diophantine exponents $w_n$ and $w_n ^{*}$ for Laurent series over a finite field. Especially, we deal with the case $n=2$, that is, quadratic approximation. We first show that the range of the function $w_2-w_2…

For a finite abelian group $G$, the generalized Erd\H{o}s--Ginzburg--Ziv constant $\mathsf s_{k}(G)$ is the smallest $m$ such that a sequence of $m$ elements in $G$ always contains a $k$-element subsequence which sums to zero. If $n =…

Consider a sum $S_n=v_i\varepsilon_1+\cdots+v_n\varepsilon_{n}$, where $(v_i)^{n}_{i=1}$ are non-zero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and $(\varepsilon_i)^{n}_{i=1}$ are independent Rademacher random variables (i.e.,…

We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…

We establish a new $W^{1,2\frac{n-1}{n-2}}$ estimate for the extremal solution of $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex, for arbitrary positive and increasing nonlinearities $f\in…

Let $u$ be an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a compact manifold with boundary, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, and let $-\lambda^2$ be the corresponding eigenvalue. We consider the problem of estimating the maximum of $u$…

We study the multifractal properties of the uniform approximation exponent and asymptotic approximation exponent in continued fractions. As a corollary, %given a nonnegative reals $\hat{\nu},$ we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the…

In this paper, we investigate the size of moments of quadratic character sums averaged over the family of fundamental discriminants. We obtain an asymptotic formula for all integer moments in a restricted range of parameters using a…

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…

We associate certain curves over function fields to given algebraic power series and show that bounds on the rank of Kodaira-Spencer map of this curves imply bounds on the exponents of the power series, with more generic curves giving lower…

The \emph{Diophantine exponent} of an action of a group on a homogeneous space, as defined by Ghosh, Gorodnik, and Nevo, quantifies the complexity of approximating the points of the homogeneous space by the points on an orbit of the group.…

We establish several new inequalities linking classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to a real vector $\underline{\xi}=(\xi,\xi^{2},\ldots,\xi^{N})$, in various dimensions $N$. We thereby obtain variants, and partly…

Let k\geq 2 and consider the Diophantine inequality |x_1^k-\alp_2 x_2^k-\alp_3 x_3^k| <\tet. Our goal is to find non-trivial solutions in the variables x_i, 1\leq i\leq 3, all of size about P, assuming that \tet is sufficiently large. We…
