We study a generalized spherical means operator, viz. generalized spherical mean Radon transform, acting on radial functions. As the main results, we find conditions for the associated maximal operator and its local variant to be bounded on…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the field of a prime order $p.$ It is known that for any integer $N\in [1,p]$ one can construct a subset $A\subset\mathbb{F}_p$ with $|A|= N$ such that $$ \max\{|A+A|, |AA|\}\ll p^{1/2}|A|^{1/2}. $$ In the present…

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a nonempty homothecy invariant collection of convex sets of positive finite measure in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $M_\mathcal{B}$ be the geometric maximal operator defined by $$M_\mathcal{B}f(x) = \sup_{x \in R \in…

We prove $L^p$ boundedness results, $p > 2$, for local maximal averaging operators over a smooth 2D hypersurface $S$ with either a $C^1$ density function or a density function with a singularity that grows as $|(x,y)|^{-\beta}$ for $\beta <…

Let $M_n$ be a random $n\times n$ matrix with i.i.d. $\text{Bernoulli}(1/2)$ entries. We show that for fixed $k\ge 1$, \[\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\log_2\mathbb{P}[\text{corank }M_n\ge k] = -k.\]

The normalised volume measure on the $\ell_p^n$ unit ball ($1\leq p\leq 2$) satisfies the following isoperimetric inequality: the boundary measure of a set of measure $a$ is at least $cn^{1/p}\tilde{a}\log^{1-1/p}(1/\tilde{a})$, where…

In this paper we consider an SPDE where the leading term is a second order operator with periodic boundary conditions, coefficients which are measurable in $(t,\omega)$, and H\"older continuous in space. Assuming stochastic parabolicity…

We show that if $\alpha$ is a positive $(2,2)$-form then so is $\alpha^2$. We also prove that this is no longer true for forms of higher degree.

Let $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ be fixed. We prove that $$ \max_{0 \leq t \leq T} |\zeta(\alpha+it)| \geq \exp\left(\frac{c_\alpha (\log T)^{1-\alpha}}{(\log \log T)^\alpha}\right) $$ for all sufficiently large $T$, where we can choose $c_\alpha =…

We derive bounds and asymptotics for the maximum Riesz polarization quantity $$M_n^p(A) := \max_{{\bold x}_1, {\bold x}_2, \ldots, {\bold x}_n \in A} {\min_{{\bold x} \in A}{\sum_{j=1}^n{\frac{1}{|{\bold x} - {\bold x}_j|^{p}}}}}$$ (which…

We consider here the free two step nilpotent Lie group, provided with the homogeneous Kor\'anyi norm; we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the maximal function corresponding to the homogeneous unit sphere, for some $p$.

In this article we deal with a variation of a theorem of Mauceri concerning the $ L^p $ boundedness of operators $ M $ which are known to be bounded on $ L^2.$ We obtain sufficient conditions on the kernel of the operaor $ M $ so that it…

We study the lacunary analogue of the $\delta$-discretised spherical maximal operators introduced by Hickman and Jan\v{c}ar, for $\delta \in (0, 1/2)$, and establish the boundedness on $L^p$ for all $1 < p < \infty$, along with the endpoint…

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function and $\|x\|$ denote the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. In this paper we show that whenever $\alpha$ is irrational and $\beta$ is real then for any fixed $\frac{13}{14}<\gamma<1$, there…

We prove new $\ell ^{p} (\mathbb Z ^{d})$ bounds for discrete spherical averages in dimensions $ d \geq 5$. We focus on the case of lacunary radii, first for general lacunary radii, and then for certain kinds of highly composite choices of…

Let f(x) belong to L^p(R^n) and R>0. The transform is considered that integrates the function f over (almost) all spheres of radius R in R^n. This operator is known to be non-injective (as one can see by taking Fourier transform). However,…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. Let $b\in\mathbb Z$ and $\varepsilon\in\{\pm 1\}$. We mainly prove that $$\left|\left\{N_p(a,b):\ 1<a<p\ \text{and}\ \left(\frac…

We improve Luczak's upper bounds on the length of the longest cycle in the random graph G(n,M) in the "supercritical phase" where M=n/2+s and s=o(n) but n^{2/3}=o(s). The new upper bound is (6.958+o(1))s^2/n with probability 1-o(1) as n…

Let $ \lambda ^2 \in \mathbb N $, and in dimensions $ d\geq 5$, let $ A_{\lambda } f (x)$ denote the average of $ f \;:\; \mathbb Z ^{d} \to \mathbb R $ over the lattice points on the sphere of radius $\lambda$ centered at $x$. We prove $…

The Mertens' first theorem gives us the following asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{p\leq x\\ p~prime}}\frac{lnp}{p}=lnx+O(1), \end{equation*} and the Mertens' second theorem indicates that there exists a constant…
