Let $G$ be a locally compact group. If $G$ is finite then the amenability constant of its Fourier algebra, denoted by ${\rm AM}({\rm A}(G))$, admits an explicit formula [Johnson, JLMS 1994]; if $G$ is infinite then no such formula for ${\rm…
For a non-degenerate irreducible curve $C$ of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, we prove that the number $N_q(C)$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of $C$ satisfies the inequality $N_q(C) \leq (d-2)q+1$. Our result improves…
We establish the general form of a geometric comparison principle for $n$-fold convolutions of certain singular measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which holds for arbitrary $n$ and $d$. This translates into a pointwise inequality between the…
We introduce the boundary measure at scale r of a compact subset of the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We show how it can be computed for point clouds and suggest these measures can be used for feature detection. The main contribution of…
We consider embedded, smooth curves in the plane which are either closed or asymptotic to two lines. We study their behaviour under curve shortening flow with a global forcing term. Firstly, we prove an analogue to Huisken's distance…
This is the first of two articles in which we prove a sharp $L^p-L^2$ Fourier restriction theorem for a large class of smooth, finite type hypersurfaces in $\Bbb R^3$, which includes in particular all real-analytic hypersurfaces. The…
We consider spherical averages of the Fourier transform of fractal measures and improve both the upper and lower bounds on the rate of decay. Maximal estimates with respect to fractal measures are deduced for the Schr\"odinger and wave…
We study a Fejer-type smoothing kernel on the finite cyclic group Z/NZ. For each smoothing radius we give explicit l1 and l2 norms, compute the discrete Fourier transform, and record bounds that are uniform in N. As an application we prove…
We show that if a measure of dimension $s$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ admits $(p,q)$ Fourier restriction for some endpoint exponents allowed by its dimension, namely $q=\tfrac{s}{d}p'$ for some $p>1$, then it is either absolutely continuous or…
We construct a good compactification of the variety of irreducible projective plane curves of degree n with d nodes and no other singularities.
We give a slope equality for fibered surfaces whose general fiber is a smooth plane curve. As a corollary, we prove a "strong" Durfee-type inequality for isolated hypersurface surface singularities, which implies Durfee's strong conjecture…
The problem of minimal distortion bending of smooth compact embedded connected Riemannian $n$-manifolds $M$ and $N$ without boundary is made precise by defining a deformation energy functional $\Phi$ on the set of diffeomorphisms…
For Artin-Schreier curve y^q -y = f(x) defined over a finite field F_q of q elements, we show that the Weil bound for the number of the rational points over extension fields of F_q can often be greatly improved, essentially removing an…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth, compact, Riemannian manifold and $\{\phi_h\}$ a sequence of $L^2$-normalized Laplace eigenfunctions on $M$. For a smooth submanifold $H\subset M$, we consider the growth of the restricted eigenfunctions $\phi_h|_H$…
We deal with the restriction phenomenon for the Fourier transform. We prove that each of the restriction conjectures for the sphere, the paraboloid, the elliptic hyperboloid in $\mathbb{R}^n$ implies that for the cone in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.…
We establish endpoint Lebesgue space bounds for convolution and restricted X-ray transforms along curves satisfying fairly minimal differentiability hypotheses, with affine and Euclidean arclengths. We also explore the behavior of certain…
Functions that are smooth but non-periodic on a certain interval possess Fourier series that lack uniform convergence and suffer from the Gibbs phenomenon. However, they can be represented accurately by a Fourier series that is periodic on…
We revisit the well-known Curve Shortening Flow for immersed curves in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. We exploit a fundamental structure of the problem to derive a new global construction of a solution, that is, a construction that is…
In this paper we begin to study curves on a weighted projective plane with one trivial weight, ${\mathbb P}(1,m,n)$, by determining the genus of curves of Fermat type. These are curves defined by a ``homogeneous'' polynomial analagous to…
Let T be an ergodic automorphism of the d-dimensional torus T^d, and f be a continuous function from T^d to R^l. On the probability space T^d equipped with the Lebesgue-Haar measure, we prove the weak convergence of the sequential empirical…
