An analysis is presented of a Brownian particle moving on the half-line, subject to a restoring force proportional to its displacement and an absorbing boundary at the origin. When the initial displacement is large, the central moments of…

In this paper we present some extensions of the Ailon-Rudnick Theorem, which says that if $f,g\in{\mathbb C}[T]$, then $\gcd(f^n-1,g^m-1)$ is bounded for all $n,m\ge 1$. More precisely, using a uniform bound for the number of torsion points…

Building on earlier papers of several authors, we establish that there exists a universal constant $c > 0$ such that the minimal base size $b(G)$ of a primitive permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ satisfies $\log |G| / \log n \leq b(G) < 45…

We study the (trace) norm of a linearly invariant family in the ball in $\C$. By adapting an approach that in one variable yields optimal results, we are able to derive an upper bound for the norm of the family in terms of the Schwarzian…

An upper bound for the Lebesgue constant (the supremum norm) of the operator of interpolation of a function in equally spaced points of a triangle by a polynomial of total degree less than or equal to n is obtained. Earlier, the rate of…

We study continued logarithms as introduced by Bill Gosper and studied by J. Borwein et. al.. After providing an overview of the type I and type II generalizations of binary continued logarithms introduced by Borwein et. al., we focus on a…

We prove scattering of $\tilde{H}^{k} $ solutions of the loglog energy-supercritical Schrodinger equation $i \partial_{t} u + \triangle u = |u|^{\frac{4}{n-2}} u \log^{c} {(\log{(10+|u|^{2})})}$, $0 < c < c_{n}$, $n={3,4}$, with radial data…

We obtain estimates for the number $p_d(n)$ of $(d-1)$-dimensional integer partitions of a number $n$. It is known that the two-sided inequality $C_1(d)n^{1-1/d}<\log p_d(n)< C_2(d)n^{1-1/d}$ is always true and that $C_1(d)>1$ whenever…

We study the boundary regularity of solutions to divergence form operators which are small perturbations of operators for which the boundary regularity of solutions is known. An operator is a small perturbation of another operator if the…

Let $ES_{\ell}(n)$ be the minimum $N$ such that every $N$-element point set in the plane contains either $\ell$ collinear members or $n$ points in convex position. We prove that there is a constant $C>0$ such that, for each $\ell, n \ge 3$,…

We present an infinite family of finite planar graphs $\{X_n\}$ with degree at most five and such that for some constant $c > 0$, $$ \lambda_1(X_n) \geq c(\frac{\log \diam(X_n)}{\diam(X_n)})^2\,, $$ where $\lambda_1$ denotes the smallest…

The Muskat problem models the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible immiscible fluids with different constant densities. In this work we prove three results. First we prove an $L^2(\R)$ maximum principle, in the form of a new…

We consider first-passage percolation on the two-dimensional triangular lattice $\mathcal{T}$. Each site $v\in\mathcal{T}$ is assigned independently a passage time of either $0$ or $1$ with probability $1/2$. Denote by $B^+(0,n)$ the upper…

In this paper, we prove global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing, cubic nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation in three dimensions when $n = 3$ when $u_{0} \in H^{s}(\mathbf{R}^{3})$, $s > 3/4$. To this end, we utilize a…

This is a computational study of bottlenecks on algebraic varieties. The bottlenecks of a smooth variety $X \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ are the lines in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which are normal to $X$ at two distinct points. The main result is a…

Let $F$ be a number field, $\pi$ either a unitary cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}(2)/F$ or a unitary Eisenstein series, and $\chi$ a unitary Hecke character of analytic conductor $C(\chi).$ We develop a regularized…

We generalize Bonahon-Wong's $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-quantum trace map to the setting of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. More precisely, given a non-zero complex parameter $q=e^{2 \pi i \hbar}$, we associate to each isotopy class of framed…

We compute the facets of the effective and movable cones of divisors on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at $n+3$ points in general position. Given any linear system of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^n$ based at $n+3$ multiple points in general…

We present lower estimates for the best constant appearing in the weak $(1,1)$ maximal inequality in the space $(\R^n,\|\cdot\|_{\iy})$. We show that this constant grows to infinity faster than $(\log n)^{1-o(1)}$ when $n$ tends to…

We discuss how the statistical properties of the area and radius of gyration of single self-avoiding loops, and of Ising and percolation cluster boundaries, may be calculated using ideas of two-dimensional field theory. For cluster…
