We prove that for any $q\in (0,1)$, all complex conjugate pairs of zeros of the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ with non-negative real part belong to the half-annulus $\{$Re$(x)\geq 0,~1<|x|<5\}$,…

For 24 years, it has been an open problem to obtain improved bounds, for the maximal function over a sparse sequence of discrete spherical averages, going beyond the range for the full discrete spherical maximal function. I formulate a…

A variant of the Falconer distance problem asks for fixed $k\geq 1$ and $d\geq k+1$, how large does the Hausdorff dimension of a Borel set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ need to be to guarantee that there exist $x_0,\ldots,x_{k}\in E$ such that…

We study the $L^{\infty}$ discrepancy of point sets generated by determinantal point processes on all compact, connected two-point homogeneous spaces, namely spheres and projective spaces. Using concentration inequalities and variance…

We study several distinct but related Fourier analytic variants of the well-known Kakeya and Furstenberg set problems in the plane. For example, given $0<s,t<1$, we call a set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ an $(s,t)$-Kakeya set if there exists…

Let $d\ge 3$ and $p>0$. Let $\|x\|_p$ denote the $\ell_p$ (quasi-)norm of a $d$-dimensional vector $x$. Holevo and Utkin \cite{HU26} conjectured that for $0<p\le 1$, \[ \min \left\{\frac{\|x\|_p}{\|x\|_2}:\vec{0}\neq x\in\mathbb R^d,\…

Fix a positive integer $k$. Let $R_k$ be a higher order Riesz transform of order $k$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $R_k^t,$ $t>0,$ be the corresponding truncated Riesz transform. We study the relation between $\|R_k f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ and…

The $k$-Hankel transform $F_{k,1}$ (or the $(k,1)$-generalized Fourier transform) is the Dunkl analogue of the unitary inversion operator in the minimal representation of a conformal group initiated by T. Kobayashi and G. Mano. It is one of…

Carleson and sparse collections of sets play a central role in dyadic harmonic analysis. We employ methods from optimization theory to study such collections. First, we present a strongly polynomial algorithm to compute the Carleson…

The Fourier extension conjecture of E. Stein was proved in the plane in 1970 by C. Fefferman, see also Zygmund and Carleson and Sj\"olin, with simplifications given by other authors later on, in particular by L. H\"ormander and T. Tao. We…

A version of the Law of the Iterated Logarithm for smooth functions in the upper-half space is proved. As a consequence, we show that certain size conditions on the gradient and the gradient of the laplacian of a smooth function, lead to…

Recently the matrix $A_2$ conjecture was disproved. Indeed, the growth of the vector Hilbert transform in the matrix weighted $L^2(W)$ space was shown to be at best a constant multiple of $[W]_{\mathbf{A}_2}^{3/2}$. This bound had…

In this paper, we study the bilinear cone multiplier operator in two dimensions. We establish $L^{p_1}\times L^{p_2}\to L^{p}$ boundedness for a regularized version of this operator over a broad range of exponents satisfying the H\"older…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup $\big\{e^{-t\mathcal L}:t>0\big\}$ on $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$ with Gaussian upper bounds, and suppose that $\mathcal{L}$ has a bounded holomorphic functional calculus on…

For a family of polynomials in two continuous variables, orthogonal with respect to a weight function, we prove, under suitable conditions, the equivalence of the following properties: the matrix Pearson equation of the weight, the second…

Let $X$ be a paracompact topological space and $Y$ be a Banach space. In this paper, we will characterize the Baire-1 functions $f:X\rightarrow{Y}$ by their graph: namely, we will show that $f$ is a Baire-1 function if and only if its graph…

We consider Cantor measures on the line, with contraction factor $N^{-1}=p^{-\alpha}$ (where $p$ a positive prime, $\alpha$ a positive integer) and $m$ positive integer digits lying in distinct residue classes modulo $N$. We obtain a…

In this paper we give an alternative exposition of a recent paper regarding the classification of growth rates of real functions. We take a different point of view, focussing on understanding possible growth rates between polynomial and…

We prove a sharp estimate for conjugate functions using a harmonic majorant in a half-strip. As an application, we remove the logarithmic loss from a theorem of Papadopoulos on minima of trigonometric polynomials and obtain the optimal…

We consider the following problem: given a set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}$ and $p \neq 2$, does there exist a function $g \in L^p(\mathbb{R})$ such that the Gabor system $\{g(x-t) e^{2 \pi isx}\}$, $(t,s) \in \Lambda$,…
