Inflection point inflation generically includes a deviation from slow-roll when the inflaton approaches the inflection point. Such deviations are shown to be generated by transitions between singular trajectories. The effects on the power…

A composite positive integer n is Lehmer if \phi(n) divides n-1, where \phi(n) is the Euler's totient function. No Lehmer number is known, nor has it been proved that they don't exist. In 2007, the second author [7] proved that there is no…

The consistency relation for the 3-point function of the CMB is a very powerful observational signature which is believed to be true for every inflationary model in which there is only one dynamical degree of freedom. Its importance relies…

In this largely-expository note, we describe a class of divisors on elliptic curves that index the inflection points of linear series arising (as subspaces of holomorphic sections) from line bundles on $\mathbb{P}^1$ via pullback along the…

Iommi & Kiwi showed that the Lyapunov spectrum of an expanding map need not be concave, and posed various problems concerning the possible number of inflection points. In this paper we answer a conjecture of Iommi & Kiwi by proving that the…

Let $V$ be an absolutely irreducible affine variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$. A Lehmer point on $V$ is a point whose coordinates satisfy some prescribed congruence conditions, and a visible point is one whose coordinates are relatively prime.…

In this work, we consider inflection point inflation in the framework of running kinetic term inflation in supergravity. We study the inflationary dynamics and show that the predicted value of the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar…

We consider simple rational functions $R_{mn}(x)=P_m(x)/Q_n(x)$, with $P_m$ and $Q_n$ polynomials of degree $m$ and $n$ respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles,…

We discuss some surprising phenomena from basic calculus related to oscillating functions and to the theorem on the differentiability of inverse functions. Among other things, we see that a continuously differentiable function with a strict…

We introduce Lehmer parking functions and study their set of parking outcomes. Our main results establish that the number of outcomes of Lehmer parking functions of length $n$ is given by a Bell number, which is exactly the number of set…

Several arguments against the truth of the Riemann hypothesis are extensively discussed. These include the Lehmer phenomenon, the Davenport-Heilbronn zeta-function, large and mean values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the critical line, and zeros…

In a recent paper by M. Rathjen and the present author it has been shown that the statement ``every normal function has a derivative'' is equivalent to $\Pi^1_1$-bar induction. The equivalence was proved over $\mathbf{ACA_0}$, for a…

Given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C$, the Lempert function is a functional on the space $Hol (\D,\Omega)$ of analytic disks with values in $\Omega$, depending on a set of poles in $\Omega$. We generalize its definition to the case…

A $1$-Lipschitz map $f$ from a convex compact set to itself has fixed points. This consequence of Brouwer's or Schauder's fixed point theorem has more elementary proofs by approximating $f$ by $\lambda$-contractions, $f_\lambda$. We study…

Let m(a,b) and M(a,b,c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a,c),m(a,b),m(b,c)) = M(a,b,c) for all a, b, c > 0. If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1…

We unify several Bellman function problems into one setting. For that purpose we define a class of functions that have, in a sense, small mean oscillation (this class depends on two convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$). We show how the unit ball…

A recently published result states inequalities of the harmonic mean of the digamma function. In this work, we prove among others results that for all positive real numbers $x\neq 1$, $$-\gamma<-\gamma…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mu)$ a probability space. A Hilbert point in $L^p(\Omega; H)$ is a nontrivial function $\varphi$ such that $\|\varphi\|_p \leq \|\varphi+f\|_p$ whenever $\langle f, \varphi \rangle = 0$.…

We study the Hilbert functions of fat points in P^1 x P^1. If Z is an arbitrary fat point subscheme of P^1 x P^1, then it can be shown that for every i and j the values of the Hilbert function H_Z(l,j) and H_Z(i,l) eventually become…

We study the question of whether there is a minimum Hilbert functions for double point schemes whose support is $s$ points with the generic Hilbert functions. Previous work shows that the question has an affirmative answer for $s \le 9$ and…
