We consider first-passage percolation on the two-dimensional triangular lattice $\mathcal{T}$. Each site $v\in\mathcal{T}$ is assigned independently a passage time of either $0$ or $1$ with probability $1/2$. Denote by $B^+(0,n)$ the upper…

In his paper "On the Schlafli differential equality", J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of…

We study the distance set problem for pairs of compact sets $A, B\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$. We show that if $B$ is contained in a hyperplane and \begin{align*} \dim_{H} A+\dim_{H} B>n, \end{align*} then the distance set $…

A celebrated thorem of Fejer (1915) asserts that for a given positive trigonometric polynomial $\sum_{j=-n+1}^{n-1}c_{j}e^{ijt}$, we have $\lvert c_{1}\lvert\leqslant c_{0}\cos\frac{\pi}{n+1}$. A more recent inequality due to U. Haagerup…

In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are deduced for the starlikeness of Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives of the second and third order by using a result of Shah and Trimble about transcendental entire…

The Paszkiewicz conjecture about a product of positive contractions asserts that given a decreasing sequence $T_1\ge T_2\ge \dots$ of positive contractions on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the product $S_n=T_n\dots T_1$…

Following the work of Harris and Kudla we prove a more general form of a conjecture of Jacquet relating the non-vanishing of a certain period integral to non-vanishing of the central critical value of a certain $L$-function. As a…

Let $S \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ be contained in the unit ball. Let $\Delta(S)=\{||a-b||:a,b \in S\}$, the Euclidean distance set of $S$. Falconer conjectured that the $\Delta(S)$ has positive Lebesque measure if the Hausdorff dimension of $S$…

We use the generalized Chowla-Selberg formula to consider the Casimir effect of a scalar field with a helix torus boundary condition in the flat ($D+1$)-dimensional spacetime. We obtain the exact results of the Casimir energy density and…

Let $f$ be an entire transcendental function of finite order and $\Delta$ be a forward invariant bounded Siegel disk for $f$ with rotation number in Herman's class $\mathcal{H}$. We show that if $f$ has two singular values with bounded…

We consider the Erdos-Renyi random graph G(n,p) inside the critical window, where p = 1/n + lambda * n^{-4/3} for some lambda in R. We proved in a previous paper (arXiv:0903.4730) that considering the connected components of G(n,p) as a…

Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…

The Szeg\H{o} limit theorem by Fedele and Gebert for matrices of the type identity minus Hankel matrix is proved for the special case $1-\frac{\beta}{\pi}H_{N,\alpha}$ where $H_{N,\alpha}$ is the $N\times N$-Hilbert matrix,…

We consider the $n$-component $|\varphi|^4$ lattice spin model ($n \ge 1$) and the weakly self-avoiding walk ($n=0$) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions $d=1,2,3$. We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin…

Given a compact orientable surface with finitely many punctures $\Sigma$, let $\Cal S(\Sigma)$ be the set of isotopy classes of essential unoriented simple closed curves in $\Sigma$. We determine a complete set of relations for a function…

Morse spacetime is a model of singular Lorentzian manifold, built upon a Morse function which serves as a global time function outside its critical points. The Borde-Sorkin conjecture states that a Morse spacetime is causally continuous if…

Let $\Pi_n^d$ denote the space of all spherical polynomials of degree at most $n$ on the unit sphere $\sph$ of $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, and let $d(x, y)$ denote the usual geodesic distance $\arccos x\cdot y$ between $x, y\in \sph$. Given a…

The famous result of B.~Schweizer and A.~Sklar [Pacific J Math 10(1960) 313--334 - Theorem 8.2] asserts that, given a probabilistic metric space $(X,\mathcal F,t)$, $\mathcal F=\{F_{p,q}:p,q\in X\}$, we have $F_{p_n,q_n}(x)\to F_{p,q}(x)$…

The Hankel determinant $H_{2,2}(F_{f}/2)$ is defined as: \begin{align*} H_{2,2}(F_{f}/2):= \begin{vmatrix} \gamma_2 & \gamma_3 \gamma_3 & \gamma_4 \end{vmatrix}, \end{align*} where $\gamma_2, \gamma_3,$ and $\gamma_4$ are the second, third,…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the space of smooth metrics $g$ on a given compact manifold $M^{n}$ ($n\geq3$) with constant scalar curvature and unitary volume. The goal of this paper is to study the critical point of the total scalar curvature…
