Let $L$ and $M$ denote the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra, respectively. It is known that $L\subset M$ and that $M\setminus L\neq\varnothing$. Inspired by three questions asked by the third author in previous work investigating the…

We study the graph of the function $d(t)$ encoding the Hausdorff dimensions of the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra with half-infinite lines of the form $(-\infty, t)$. For this sake, we use the fact that the Hausdorff dimension of…

We find two series expansions for Legendre's second incomplete elliptic integral $E(\lambda, k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions converge at every point of the unit square in the $(\lambda, k)$ plane.…

We find the exact best possible range of those $p > 1$ for which any function which belongs to $A_1(\mathbb{R})$, with $A_1$-constant equal to $c$, must also belong to $L^p$. In this way we provide alternative proofs of the results in [2]…

The harmonic Lagrange top is the Lagrange top plus a quadratic (harmonic) potential term. We describe the top in the space fixed frame using a global description with a Poisson structure on $T^*S^3$. This global description naturally leads…

Markoff-Lagrange spectrum uncovers exotic topological properties of Diophantine approximation. We investigate asymptotic properties of geometric progressions modulo one and observe significantly analogous results on the set \[ {\mathcal…

$(L_p, L_q)$ estimates are obtained for oscillatory potentials $(K^\alphaf)(x)=\int\limits_{R^n}\frac{\exp(i|y|)}{|y|^{n-\alpha}}f(x-y)dy$, $0<\alpha<n$, $n\geq 2$, whose symbol has a singularity on the unit sphere. These potentials are…

We use microlocal and paradifferential techniques to obtain $L^8$ norm bounds for spectral clusters associated to elliptic second order operators on two-dimensional manifolds with boundary. The result leads to optimal $L^q$ bounds, in the…

The Laguerre functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$, $n=0,1,\dots$, are constructed from generalized Laguerre polynomials. The functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$ depend on two parameters: scale $\tau>0$ and order of generalization $\alpha>-1$, and form…

Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}^+$ be a function satisfying $\phi(n)/n\to \infty$ as $n \to \infty$. We investigate from a multifractal analysis point of view the growth rate of the sums $\sum^n_{k=1}\log a_k(x)$ relative to $\psi(n)$,…

We introduce two new heuristic ideas concerning the spectrum of a Laplacian, and we give theorems and conjectures from the realms of manifolds, graphs and fractals that validate these heuristics. The first heuristic concerns Laplacians that…
