We study the Sobolev inequality and the existence of its extremal functions in the setting of homogeneous H\"{o}rmander vector fields. A principal result establishes a mutual inclusion between the set of volume growth rates of subunit balls…

In this paper, we prove a new ergodic theorem for $\mathbb{R}^d$-actions involving averages over dilated submanifolds, thereby generalizing the theory of spherical averages. Our main result is a quantitative estimate for the error term of…

We study a particular class of representations from the fundamental groups of punctured spheres $\Sigma_{0,n}$ to the group $\text{PSL} (2,\mathbb R)$ (and their moduli spaces), that we call \emph{super-maximal}. Super-maximal…

Let $H < G$ both be noncompact connected semisimple real algebraic groups where the former is maximal proper and $\Gamma < G$ be a lattice. Building on the work of Gorodnik-Weiss, we refine their techniques and obtain effective results.…

We provide a lower bound for the ratio between the ordinary and uniform exponent of both simultaneous Diophantine approximation and Diophantine approximation by linear forms in any dimension. This lower bound was conjectured by Schmidt and…

We consider the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ \bigl[H(x,\omega)\varphi\bigr](n)\equiv -\varphi(n-1)-\varphi(n+1) + V(x + n\omega)\varphi(n)\ , $$ $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, $x,\omega \in [0, 1]$ with real-analytic potential…

We prove a sharp analogue of Minkowski's inhomogeneous approximation theorem over fields of power series $\mathbb{F}_q((T^{-1}))$. Furthermore, we study the approximation to a given point $\underline{y}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q((T^{-1}))^2$ by the…

Let $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a Hadamard lacunary sequence. We give upper bounds for the maximal gap of the set of dilates $\{a_n \alpha\}_{n \leq N}$ modulo 1, in terms of $N$. For any lacunary sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ we…

We calculate, using numerical methods, the Lyapounov exponent gamma(E) and the density of states rho(E) at energy E of a one-dimensional non-Hermitian Schroedinger equation with off-diagonal disorder. For the particular case we consider,…

Let $\Theta=(\alpha,\beta)$ be a point in $\bR^2$, with $1,\alpha,\beta$ linearly independent over $\bQ$. We attach to $\Theta$ a quadruple $\Omega(\Theta)$ of exponents which measure the quality of approximation to $\Theta$ both by…

In this paper we consider the ``symplectic'' version of the Euler equations studied by Ebin \cite{ebin}. We show that these equations are globally well-posed on the Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$ for $n \geq 1$ and $s > 2n/2+1$. The…

In this paper we prove an inequality for individual and uniform Diophantine exponents in the case of simultaneous approximation. This inequality is better than Jarnik's for small values of the uniform exponent.

Let $F \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a homogeneous form of degree $d \geq 2$, and let $V_F^*$ denote the singular locus of the affine variety $V(F) = \{ \mathbf{z} \in {\mathbb{C}}^n: F(\mathbf{z}) = 0 \}$. In this paper, we prove…

We study stability times for a family of parameter dependent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations on the circle, close to the origin. Imposing a suitable Diophantine condition (first introduced by Bourgain), we prove a rather flexible Birkhoff…

Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a…

We prove that the maximal dimension $d_N$ of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group $S_N$ satisfies $$d_N=\sqrt{N!} \, e^{-(\mathfrak{d}+o(1))\sqrt{N} }, \quad N\to \infty,$$ for some constant $\mathfrak{d}>0$. This answers a…
