In this paper we study the following problem: for a given bounded positive function $f$ on a filtered probability space can we find another function (a multiplier) $m$, $0\le m\le 1$, such that the function $mf$ is not ``too small'' but its…

We introduce the notion of a random matrix-valued multiplicative function, generalizing Rademacher random multiplicative functions to matrices. We provide an asymptotic for the second moment based on a linear recurrence property for…

We prove a suite of dynamical results, including exactness of the transformation and piecewise-analyticity of the invariant measure, for a family of continued fraction systems, including specific examples over reals, complex numbers,…

In this article we revisit some classical conjectures in harmonic analysis in the setting of mixed norm spaces $L^p_{rad} L^2_{ang} (\mathbb{R}^n)$. We produce sharp bounds for the restriction of the Fourier transform to compact…

In a recent paper, Hauenstein, Sturmfels, and the second author discovered a conjectural bijection between critical points of the likelihood function on the complex variety of matrices of rank r and critical points on the complex variety of…

We develope the $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field using multiple Dirichlet series under the generalized…

For any natural number $k$, consider the $k$-linear Hilbert transform $$ H_k( f_1,\dots,f_k )(x) := \operatorname{p.v.} \int_{\bf R} f_1(x+t) \dots f_k(x+kt)\ \frac{dt}{t}$$ for test functions $f_1,\dots,f_k: {\bf R} \to {\bf C}$. It is…

We show that the Cappell-Shaneson version of Pick's theorem for simple lattice polytopes is a consequence of a general relation between characteristic numbers of virtual submanifolds dual to the characteristic classes of a stably almost…

A conjecture of May states that there is an up-to-adjunction strictification of symmetric bimonoidal functors between bipermutative categories. The main result of this paper proves a weaker form of May's conjecture that starts with…

We consider a random conductance model on the $d$-dimensional lattice, $d\in[2,\infty)\cap\mathbb{N}$, where the conductances take values in $(0,\infty)$ and are however not assumed to be bounded from above and below. We assume that the law…

We introduce a refinement of the classical Liouville function to primes in arithmetic progressions. Using this, we discover new biases in the appearances of primes in a given arithmetic progression in the prime factorizations of integers.…

We develop $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of cubic Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli over the Eisenstein field using multiple Dirichlet series under the…

We propose to extend ``invertibility'' to ``regularity'' for categories in general abstract algebraic manner. Higher regularity conditions and ``semicommutative'' diagrams are introduced. Distinction between commutative and…

We present certain Liouville properties of eigenfunctions of second-order elliptic operators with real coefficients, via an approach that is based on stochastic representations of positive solutions, and criticality theory of second-order…

We describe an explicit version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem using a generalization of Gallagher's larger sieve. We give applications to the Galois theory of random polynomials, and to the images of the adelic representation…

We present a covering conjecture that we expect to be true below superstrong cardinals. We then show that the conjecture is true in hod mice. This work is a continuation of the work that started in Covering with Universally Baire Functions…

The notion of supershift generalizes that one of superoscillation and expresses the fact that the sampling of a function in an interval allows to compute the values of the function outside the interval. In a previous paper we discussed the…

Given a square matrix $A$, Brauer's theorem [Duke Math. J. 19 (1952), 75--91] shows how to modify one single eigenvalue of $A$ via a rank-one perturbation, without changing any of the remaining eigenvalues. We reformulate Brauer's theorem…

For every odd prime $p$, we exhibit families of irreducible Artin representations $\tau$ with the property that for every elliptic curve $E$ the order of the zero of the twisted $L$-function $L(E,\tau,s)$ at $s\!=\!1$ must be a…

We present a multi-variable extension of Rubio de Francia's restricted weak-type extrapolation theory that does not involve Rubio de Francia's iteration algorithm; instead, we rely on the following Sawyer-type inequality for the weighted…
