We study differentiability properties of a potential of the type $K\star \mu$, where $\mu$ is a finite Radon measure in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and the kernel $K$ satisfies $|\nabla^j K(x)| \le C\, |x|^{-(N-1+j)}, \quad j=0,1,2.$ We introduce a…
The problem of capacity achieving (optimal) input probability measures has been widely investigated for several channel models with constrained inputs. So far, no outstanding generalizations have been derived. This paper does a forward step…
For an Ising spin glass on a hierarchical lattice, we show that the energy barrier to be overcome during the flip of a domain of size L scales as L to the power d-1 for all dimensions d. We do this by investigating appropriate lower bounds…
Let $ \Omega \subset R^d $ have finite positive Lebesgue measure, and let $ \mathcal{L}^{2}(\Omega) $ be the corresponding Hilbert space of $ \mathcal{L}^{2} $-functions on $ \Omega $. We shall consider the exponential functions $…
Given two trace class operators A and B on a separable Hilbert space we provide an upper bound for the Hausdorff distance of their spectra involving only the distance of A and B in operator norm and the singular values of A and B. By…
Let $\lambda(m)$ denote the maximal absolute projection constant over real $m$-dimensional subspaces. This quantity is extremely hard to determine exactly, as testified by the fact that the only known value of $\lambda(m)$ for $m>1$ is…
The Zygmund vector field maximal function conjecture is a long-standing open problem. This paper establishes a new boundedness criterion that significantly weakens the existing conditions in the literature. Specifically, the required decay…
Carleson showed that the Bergman space for a domain on the plane is trivial if and only if its complement is polar. Here we give a quantitative version of this result. One is the Suita conjecture, established by the first-named author in…
We revisit constraints on the (pseudo)conformal Universe from the non-observation of statistical anisotropy in the Planck data. The quadratic maximal likelihood estimator is applied to the Planck temperature maps at frequencies 143 GHz and…
A relationship between the maximum operating temperature of semiconductor lasers and their emission wavelength is conjectured. The conjecture is supported by a wide variety of existing experimental data for visible and infrared double…
For any positive integer r, let pi_{2r}(x) denote the number of prime pairs (p, p+2r) with p not exceeding (large) x. According to the prime-pair conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood, pi_{2r}(x) should be asymptotic to 2C_{2r}li_2(x) with an…
This paper is a successor of \cite{laceyt}. In that paper we considered bilinear operators of the form H_alpha(f_1,f_2)(x) = p.v. \int f_1(x-t) f_2(x + alpha t)/t dt, which are originally defined for f_1, f_2 in the Schwartz class S(R). The…
This is a continuation of "Some results on nonstationry ideal". The upper bound on precipitousness of NS_lambda^+ for a regular lambda given in this paper is proved to be exact.It is shown that saturatedness of NS_kappa^aleph_0 over…
Dobrushin (1972) showed that the interface of a 3D Ising model with minus boundary conditions above the $xy$-plane and plus below is rigid (has $O(1)$-fluctuations) at every sufficiently low temperature. Since then, basic features of this…
New lower and upper bounds on the reliability function of typewriter channels are given. Our lower bounds improve upon the (multiletter) expurgated bound of Gallager, furnishing a new and simple counterexample to a conjecture made in 1967…
We employ techniques from optimal transport in order to prove decay of transfer operators associated to iterated functions systems and expanding maps, giving rise to a new proof without requiring a Doeblin-Fortet (or Lasota-Yorke)…
For a completely general anisotropic order parameter (including changes of sign), we show that weak coupling theory is incompatible with high values of the maximum \Delta_{M} of the zero temperature gap as compared to the critical…
In the standard inflationary scenario with inflaton potential $V(\Phi)=M^4-{1\over4}\lambda\Phi^4$, the resulting density perturbations $\delta\rho/\rho$ are proportional to $\lambda^{1/2}$. Upper bounds on $\delta\rho/\rho$ require…
In [Zhang and Zheng, 2005] it was conjectured by Zhang and Zheng that dissipative solutions of the Hunter-Saxton equation, which are known to be unique in the class of weak solutions, dissipate the energy at the highest possible rate. The…
We prove rigorous lower and upper bounds for the mass gap of the ferromagnetic spin 1/2 XXZ chain. The two bounds coincide asymptotically in the Ising limit $\Delta\to\infty$. Near the isotropic point, $\Delta=1$, the estimates are good…
