We consider random trigonometric polynomials of the form \[ f_n(x,y)=\sum_{1\le k,l \le n} a_{k,l} \cos(kx) \cos(ly), \] where the entries $(a_{k,l})_{k,l\ge 1}$ are i.i.d. random variables that are centered with unit variance. We…

Bernstein's theorem (also called Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem) enables the integral representation of a completely monotonic function. We introduce a finite completely monotonic function, which is a completely monotonic function…

We prove a factorization formula for the Taylor series coefficients of a zero of a polynomial as a function of the polynomial's coefficients. This result extends to more general functions which we call "complex-exponent polynomials". To…

According to the real \tau-conjecture, the number of real roots of a sum of products of sparse polynomials should be polynomially bounded in the size of such an expression. It is known that this conjecture implies a superpolynomial lower…

Let X_1,X_2, . . . be a sequence of i.i.d. mean zero random variables and let S_n the sum of the first n random variables. We show that whenever lim sup_n |S_n|/c_n is finite with probability one and the normalizing sequence {c_n} is…

We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…

Many practical problems need the output of a machine learning model to satisfy a set of constraints, $K$. Nevertheless, there is no known guarantee that classical neural network architectures can exactly encode constraints while…

We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…

We aim to fill a gap in the proof of an inequality relating two exponents of uniform Diophantine approximation stated in a paper by Bugeaud. We succeed to verify the inequality in several instances, in particular for small dimension.…

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…

We show that the $U(1,1)$ (super) Chern Simons theory is one loop exact. This provides a direct proof of the relation between the Alexander polynomial and analytic and Reidemeister torsion. We then proceed to compute explicitely the…

Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots$ be i.i.d. random variables with zero mean and unit variance. Consider a random Taylor series of the form $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \xi_k c_k z^k$, where $c_0,c_1,\ldots$ is a real sequence such that $c_n^2$ is…

In this paper, we consider the polynomial and exponential convergence rate of weighted Birkhoff averages of irrational rotations on tori. It is shown that these can be achieved for finite and infinite dimensional tori which correspond to…

A classical result of Kaufman states that, for each $\tau>1,$ the set of well approximable numbers \[ E(\tau)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}: \|qx\| < |q|^{-\tau} \text{ for infinitely many integers q}\} \] is a Salem set with Hausdorff dimension…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an algebraic extension of fields, and let $\alpha \not= 0$ be contained in an algebraic closure of $K$. If $\alpha$ can be approximated by roots of numbers in $K^{\times}$ with respect to the Weil height, we prove that…

We consider "Taylor domination" property for an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}a_{k}z^{k},$ in the complex disk $D_R$, which is an inequality of the form \[ |a_{k}|R^{k}\leq C\ \max_{i=0,\dots,N}\ |a_{i}|R^{i}, \ k \geq N+1. \]…

In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…

Let $s_{k}(n)$ denote the sum of digits of an integer $n$ in base $k$. Motivated by certain identities of Nieto, and Bateman and Bradley involving sums of the form $\sum_{i=0}^{2^{n}-1}(-1)^{s_{2}(i)}(x+i)^{m}$ for $m=n$ and $m=n+1$, we…

Walsh introduced a generalisation of Faber polynomials to certain compact sets which need not be connected. We derive several equivalent representations of these Faber-Walsh polynomials, analogous to representations of Faber polynomials.…

For a monic polynomial $Q_n$ of degree $n$, let $Q_{n, k}$ be its $k$-th derivative normalized to be monic. Under the only assumption that the sequence $\{Q_n\}$ has a weak* limiting zero distribution (an empirical distribution of zeros)…
