In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition is deduced for the close-to-convexity of a cross product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives by using a result of Shah and Trimble about…

First-passage percolation is the study of the metric space $(\mathbb{Z}^d,T)$, where $T$ is a random metric defined as the weighted graph metric using random edge-weights $(t_e)_{e\in \mathcal{E}^d}$ assigned to the nearest-neighbor edges…

Doubly non-negative matrices arise naturally in many setting including Markov random fields (positively banded graphical models) and in the convergence analysis of Markov chains. In this short note, we settle a recent conjecture by C.R.…

We consider first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with i.i.d. weights, whose distribution function satisfies $F(0) = p_c = 1/2$. This is sometimes known as the "critical case" because large clusters of zero-weight edges force passage…

We study noise sensitivity of properties of the largest components $({\cal C}_j)_{j\geq 1}$ of the random graph ${\cal G}(n,p)$ in its critical window $p=(1+\lambda n^{-1/3})/n$. For instance, is the property "$|{\cal C}_1|$ exceeds its…

Let $\mathscr J$ be the space of inner functions of finite entropy endowed with the topology of stable convergence. We prove that an inner function $F \in \mathscr J$ possesses a radial limit (and in fact, a minimal fine limit) in the unit…

It has recently been conjectured [A. Ianniccari {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 133}, 081401 (2024)] that there exists a correspondence between the critical threshold of black-hole formation and the stability properties of null circular…

We provide a numerical method to determine the critical lengths of linear differential operators with constant real coefficients. The need for such a procedure arises when the orders increase. The interest of this article is clearly on the…

A critical length has recently been identified that appears to provide a fundamental limit distinguishing quantum behavior from classical behavior. Because of the unique association between critical length and mass, it appears that we can…

We show that for a Steinhaus random multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{D}$ and any polynomial $P(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of $\text{deg}\ P\ge 2$ which is not of the form $w(x+c)^{d}$ for some $w\in \mathbb{Z}$, $c\in \mathbb{Q}$,…

Cusick's conjecture on the binary sum of digits $s(n)$ of a nonnegative integer $n$ states the following: for all nonnegative integers $t$ we have \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac 1N\left\lvert\{n<N:s(n+t)\geq s(n)\}\right\rvert>1/2.…

For each integrability parameter $p \in (0,\infty]$, the critical smoothness of a periodic generalized function $f$, denoted by $s_f(p)$ is the supremum over the smoothness parameters $s$ for which $f$ belongs to the Besov space $B_{p,p}^s$…

In this short note we confirm a conjecture of James Wiegold. We prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group and $|G'|>p^{n(n-1)/2}$ for some non-negative integer $n$, then the group $G$ can be generated by the elements of breadth at least $n$.…

We characterize the lack of compactness in the critical embedding of functions spaces $X\subset Y$ having similar scaling properties in the following terms : a sequence $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ bounded in $X$ has a subsequence that can be…

In the context of the Kuznetsov trace formula, we outline the theory of the Bessel functions on $GL(n)$ as a series of conjectures designed as a blueprint for the construction of Kuznetsov-type formulas with given ramification at infinity.…
