We give a formula for $f(\eta)$, where $f :\mathbb C \to \mathbb C$ is a continuously differentiable function satisfying $f(\bar z) = \overline{f(z)}$, and $\eta$ is a dual quaternion. Note this formula is straightforward or well known if…

Let $\phi$ be a real-valued smooth function on $\mathbf{C}$ satisfying $0 \le \Delta \phi \le M$ for some $M \ge 0$. We consider the space of all holomorphic functions which are square-integrable with respect to the measure $e^{-\phi(z)}…

An identity in law for the area of a spectrally positive L\'evy stable process stopped at zero is established. Extending that of Lefebvre for Brownian motion, it involves an inverse Beta random variable and the square of a positive stable…

We consider the interior transmission eigenvalue (ITE) problem, which arises when scattering by inhomogeneous media is studied. The ITE problem is not self-adjoint. We show that positive ITEs are observable together with plus or minus signs…

We study the asymptotic behavior of piecewise constant least squares regression estimates, when the number of partitions of the estimate is penalized. We show that the estimator is consistent in the relevant metric if the signal is in…

We prove a sharp square function estimate for the cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and consequently the local smoothing conjecture for the wave equation in $2+1$ dimensions.

We establish an identity for E f (Y) -E f (X), when X and Y both have matrix variateskew-normal distributions and the function f fulfills some weak conditions. Thecharacteristic function of matrix variate skew normal distribution is then…

We introduce a numerical method to obtain approximate eigenvalues for some problems of Sturm-Liouville type. As an application, we consider an infinite square well in one dimension in which the mass is a function of the position. Two…

Let $X$ be an irreducible shift of finite type (SFT) of positive entropy, and let $B_n(X)$ be its set of words of length $n$. Define a random subset $\omega$ of $B_n(X)$ by independently choosing each word from $B_n(X)$ with some…

Let $\eta=\{\eta(t);t\in [0,1]\}$ be a mean zero continuous Gaussian process with covariance $U=\{U(s,t),s,t\in [ 0,1]\},$ with $U(0,0)>0$. Let $\{\eta_{i};i=1,\ldots, k\}$ be independent copies of $\eta$ and set $ Y_{k}(t)=\sum_{i=1}^{k}…

Let $Q$ be a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients and let $E(s,Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function associated with $Q$. Assume that the class number of $Q$ is bigger than $1$. Then we estimate the number of zeros of…

We introduce small cap square function estimates for parabola and cone, and prove the sharp estimates. More precisely, we study the inequalities of form \[ \|f\|_p\le C_{\alpha,p}(R)…

For an open set $\Om \subset \R^2$ let $\lambda(\Om)$ denote the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in $L^2(\Om)$. Let $w_\Om$ be the torsion function for $\Om$, and let $\|.\|_p$ denote the $L^p$ norm. It is shown…

For a generic conformal field theory (CFT) in four dimensions, the scale anomaly dictates that the universal part of entanglement entropy across a sphere ($\mathcal{C}_{\text{univ}}(S^{2})$) is positive. Based on this fact, we explore the…

This paper studies the estimation of smooth functionals $f(\theta)$ of a mean parameter $\theta = \mathbb{E}_P[W]$ for a distribution $P$ on a general Banach space. We propose a cross-fitted estimator based on a single sample splitting and…

Considering slowly varying functions (SVF), Seneta in 2019 conjectured the following implication, for $\alpha\geq1$, $$ \int_0^x y^{\alpha-1}(1-F(y))dy\textrm{ is SVF}\ \Longrightarrow\ \int_{[0,x]}y^{\alpha}dF(y)\textrm{ is SVF, as }…

In this paper we generalize the martingale of Kella and Whitt to the setting of L\'{e}vy-type processes and show that the (local) martingales obtained are in fact square integrable martingales which upon dividing by the time index converge…

Consider systems of equations $q_i(x)=0$, where $q_i: {\Bbb R}^n \longrightarrow {\Bbb R}$, $i=1, \ldots, m$, are quadratic forms. Our goal is to tell efficiently systems with many non-trivial solutions or near-solutions $x \ne 0$ from…
