We introduce and study derivatives in first-passage percolation with edge weights given by i.i.d. random variables supported on ${a,b}$. We show that the variance of the passage time can be expressed in terms of these derivatives. We…
A Dirichlet-type problem is studied for an equation of even order with variable coefficients. A criterion for the uniqueness of a solution is given. The solution is built in the form of a Fourier series. When justifying the convergence of…
We prove $\sqrt{\log n}$ lower bounds on the order of growth fluctuations in three planar growth models (first-passage percolation, last-passage percolation, and directed polymers) under no assumptions on the distribution of vertex or edge…
We study the gradient and higher order derivative estimates for the transmission problem in the presence of closely located inclusions. We show that in two dimensions, when relative conductivities of circular inclusions have different…
In this paper, we study lower order terms of the $1$-level density of low-lying zeros of quadratic Hecke L-functions in the Gaussian field. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, our result is valid for even test functions whose…
In last passage percolation models lying in the KPZ universality class, long maximizing paths have a typical deviation from the linear interpolation of their endpoints governed by the two-thirds power of the interpolating distance. This…
For any large prime $q$, $x \leq 1$ and any real $k\geq 2$, we prove a lower bound for the following $2k$-th moment \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi \in X_q^*}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k}, \end{equation*} where…
We demonstrate $k+1$-term arithmetic progressions in certain subsets of the real line whose "higher-order Fourier dimension" is sufficiently close to 1. This Fourier dimension, introduced in previous work, is a higher-order (in the sense of…
Randomly diluted quantum boson and spin models in two dimensions combine the physics of classical percolation with the well-known dimensionality dependence of ordering in quantum lattice models. This combination is rather subtle for models…
Our motivation in this paper is twofold. First, we study the geometry of a class of exploration sets, called exit sets, which are naturally associated with a 2D vector-valued GFF : $\phi : Z^2 \to R^N, N\geq 1$. We prove that, somewhat…
The small-scale turbulent dynamo in the high Prandtl number regime is described in terms of the one-point Fourier space correlators. The second order correlator of this kind is the energy spectrum and it has been previously studied in…
This note proves an upper bound for the fluctuations of a second-class particle in the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process. The proof needs a lower tail estimate for the last-passage growth model associated with the exclusion…
We prove that the Fourier transform of the properly-scaled normalized two-point function for sufficiently spread-out long-range oriented percolation with index \alpha>0 converges to e^{-C|k|^{\alpha\wedge2}} for some C\in(0,\infty) above…
We study the continuity on the modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$ of Fourier multipliers with symbols of the type $e^{i\mu(\xi)}$, for some real-valued function $\mu(\xi)$. A number of results are known, assuming that the derivatives of order…
Based on the Liouville-Weyl definition of the fractional derivative, a new direct fractional generalization of higher order derivatives is presented. It is shown, that the Riesz and Feller derivatives are special cases of this approach.
We prove bounds for the absolute sum of all level-$k$ Fourier coefficients for $(-1)^{p(x)}$, where polynomial $p:\mathbf{F}_2^n \to \mathbf{F}_2$ is of degree $1$ or degree $2$.
We prove that a Kakeya set in a vector space over a finite field of size $q$ always supports a probability measure whose Fourier transform is bounded by $q^{-1}$ for all non-zero frequencies. We show that this bound is sharp in all…
We prove near-optimal trade-offs for quantifier depth versus number of variables in first-order logic by exhibiting pairs of $n$-element structures that can be distinguished by a $k$-variable first-order sentence but where every such…
Higher-order Fourier analysis, developed over prime fields, has been recently used in different areas of computer science, including list decoding, algorithmic decomposition and testing. We extend the tools of higher-order Fourier analysis…
If a Lagrangian defining a variational problem has order $k$ then its Euler-Lagrange equations generically have order $2k$. This paper considers the case where the Euler-Lagrange equations have order strictly less than $2k$, and shows that…
