We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…

We use a deterministic construction to prove the optimality of the exponent in the Mockenhaupt-Mitsis-Bak-Seeger Fourier restriction theorem for dimension $d=1$ and parameter range $0 < a,b \leq d$ and $b\leq 2a$. Previous constructions by…

In contrast to elliptic surfaces, the Fourier restriction problem for hypersurfaces of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature which admit principal curvatures of opposite signs is still hardly understood. In fact, even for 2-surfaces, the only…

In this paper, we prove the restriction estimates for 2D surfaces S:= {(xi1, xi2, xi1^3 +/- xi2^3) : (xi1, xi2) in [0,1]^2} by reducing to Wang-Wu's result on the perturbed paraboloid and to the results on the perturbed hyperboloid obtained…

Motivated by the work of Chudnovsky and the Eisenbud-Mazur Conjecture on evolutions, Harbourne and Huneke give a series of conjectures that relate symbolic and regular powers of ideals of fat points in $\mathbb P^n$. The conjectures involve…

In this paper, we prove the existence portion of the Bertram-Feinberg-Mukai Conjecture for an infinite family of new cases using degeneration technique. This not only leads to a substantial improvement of known results but also develops…

For self-similar sets $X,Y\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, we obtain new results towards the affine embeddings conjecture of Feng-Huang-Rao (2014), and the equivalent weak intersections conjecture. We show that the conjecture holds when the defining…

We prove a Diophantine approximation inequality for rational points in varieties of any dimension, in the direction of Vojta's conjecture with truncated counting functions. Our results also provide a bound towards the $abc$ conjecture which…

We prove that any Besicovitch set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ must have Hausdorff dimension at least $5/2+\epsilon_0$ for some small constant $\epsilon_0>0$. This follows from a more general result about the volume of unions of tubes that satisfy the…

Conditional on Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic hypersurfaces, we prove optimal restriction estimates for polynomial hypersurfaces of revolution for which the defining polynomial has non-negative coefficients. In particular, we…

We prove a bilinear Kakeya inequality in the first Heisenberg group and a sharp bilinear Kakeya estimate for Euclidean curved tubes in $\R^2$. By adapting an argument of F\"assler, Pinamonti and Wald involving Heisenberg projections, we…

In this paper, we study the distance problem in the setting of finite p-adic rings. In odd dimensions, our results are essentially sharp. In even dimensions, we clarify the conjecture and provide examples to support it. Surprisingly,…

We prove a limit theorem for quantum stochastic differential equations with unbounded coefficients which extends the Trotter-Kato theorem for contraction semigroups. From this theorem, general results on the convergence of approximations…

We prove $L^p \rightarrow L^q$ Fourier restriction estimates for 3-dimensional quadratic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^5$. Our results are sharp, up to endpoints, for a few classes of surfaces.

We study constrained selection sets of random closed sets defined on a non-atomic probability space. Given a random interval $Y=[y_L,y_U]$ and scalar constraints on the expectation or the median of admissible selections, we characterize the…

We give upper bounds on the number of exceptional radial projections of arbitrary subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. Our bounds do not depend on the dimension of the ambient space. Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional…

Let $A, B$, be finite subsets of an abelian group, and let $G \subset A \times B$ be such that $# A, # B, # \{a+b: (a,b) \in G \} \leq N$. We consider the question of estimating the quantity $# \{a-b: (a,b) \in G \}$. Recently Bourgain…

Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a $(d-1)$-dimensonal hyperbolic paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $Ef$ be the Fourier extension operator associated to $\mathbb{H},$ with $f$ supported in $B^{d-1}(0,2)$. We prove that $\|Ef\|_{L^p (B(0,R))} \leq…

This work provides data-processing and majorization inequalities for $f$-divergences, and it considers some of their applications to coding problems. This work also provides tight bounds on the R\'{e}nyi entropy of a function of a discrete…

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of $(s,t)$-Furstenberg sets is at least $s+t/2+\epsilon$, where $\epsilon>0$ depends only on $s$ and $t$. This improves the previously best known bound for $2s<t\le 1+\epsilon(s,t)$, in particular…
