Global fluctuations for 1D log-gas dynamics

We study in this article the hydrodynamic limit in themacroscopic regime of the coupled system of stochastic differential equations,

(0.1)$d{\lambda }_t^i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}d{W}_t^i?V^{\prime }\left({\lambda }_t^i\right)dt+\frac{\beta }{2N}\sum _{j\ne i}\frac{dt}{{\lambda }_t^i?{\lambda }_t^j},i=1,\dots ,N,$

with $\beta >1$, sometimes called generalized Dyson’s Brownian motion, describing the dissipative dynamics of a log-gas of $N$ equal charges with equilibrium measure corresponding to a $\beta$-ensemble, with sufficiently regular convex potential $V$. The limit $N\to \infty$ is known to satisfy a mean-field Mc-Kean–Vlasov equation. We prove that, for suitable initial conditions, fluctuations around the limit are Gaussian and satisfy an explicit PDE.The proof is very much indebted to the harmonic potential case treated in Israelsson (2001). Our key argument consists in showing that the time-evolution generator may be written in the form of a transport operator on the upper half-plane, plus a bounded non-local operator interpreted in terms of a signed jump process.     

The Hausdorff dimension of multivariate operator-self-similar Gaussian random fields

Let $\{X\left(t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}$ be a multivariate operator-self-similar random field with values in ${\mathbb{R}}^m$. Such fields were introduced in [22] and satisfy the scaling property $\{X\left(c^{E}t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}\stackrel{\mathrm{d}}{=}\{c^{D}X\left(t\right):t\in {\mathbb{R}}^d\}$ for all $c>0$, where $E$ is a $d\times d$ real matrix and $D$ is an $m\times m$ real matrix. We solve an open problem in [22] by calculating the Hausdorff dimension of the range and graph of a trajectory over the unit cube $K={[0,1]}^d$ in the Gaussian case. In particular, we enlighten the property that the Hausdorff dimension is determined by the real parts of the eigenvalues of $E$ and $D$ as well as the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of $E$ and $D$.     

Regularity in Lp Sobolev spaces of solutions to fractional heat equations

This work contributes in two areas, with sharp results, to the current investigation of regularity of solutions of heat equations with a nonlocal operator P:

(*)$Pu+{?}_{t}u=f(x,t),\text{ for }x\in \mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^n,t\in I?\mathbb{R}.$

1) For strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operators (ψdo's) P on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of order $d\in {\mathbb{R}}_{+}$, a symbol calculus on ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ is introduced that allows showing optimal regularity results, globally over ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ and locally over $\mathrm{\Omega }\times I$:

$f\in H_{p,\mathrm{loc}}^{(s,s/d)}(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)?u\in H_{p,\mathrm{loc}}^{(s+d,s/d+1)}(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I),$

for $s\in \mathbb{R}$, $1<p<\infty$. The $H_p^{(s,s/d)}$ are anisotropic Sobolev spaces of Bessel-potential type, and there is a similar result for Besov spaces.2) Let Ω be smooth bounded, and let P equal ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^a$ ($0<a<1$), or its generalizations to singular integral operators with regular kernels, generating stable Lévy processes. With the Dirichlet condition $\mathrm{supp}u?\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }}$, the initial condition $u{|}_{t=0}=0$, and $f\in L_p(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)$, (*) has a unique solution $u\in L_p(I;H_p^{a(2a)}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }}))$ with ${?}_{t}u\in L_p(\mathrm{\Omega }\times I)$. Here $H_p^{a(2a)}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})={\dot{H}}_p^{2a}(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})$ if $a<1/p$, and is contained in ${\dot{H}}_p^{2a?\epsilon }(\stackrel{￣}{\mathrm{\Omega }})$ if $a=1/p$, but contains nontrivial elements from $d^a{\stackrel{￣}{H}}_p^a(\mathrm{\Omega })$ if $a>1/p$ (where $d(x)=\mathrm{dist}(x,?\mathrm{\Omega })$). The interior regularity of u is lifted when f is more smooth.     

Toeplitz quantization on Fock space

For Toeplitz operators $T_f^{(t)}$ acting on the weighted Fock space $H_t^2$, we consider the semi-commutator $T_f^{(t)}{T}_g^{(t)}?T_{fg}^{(t)}$, where $t>0$ is a certain weight parameter that may be interpreted as Planck's constant ? in Rieffel's deformation quantization. In particular, we are interested in the semi-classical limit

($?$)$\underset{t\to 0}{\lim }?{6T_f^{(t)}{T}_g^{(t)}?T_{fg}^{(t)}6}_t.$

It is well-known that ${6T_f^{(t)}{T}_g^{(t)}?T_{fg}^{(t)}6}_t$ tends to 0 under certain smoothness assumptions imposed on f and g. This result was recently extended to $f,g\in \mathrm{BUC}({\mathbb{C}}^n)$ by Bauer and Coburn. We now further generalize (?) to (not necessarily bounded) uniformly continuous functions and symbols in the algebra $\mathrm{VMO}\cap L^{\infty }$ of bounded functions having vanishing mean oscillation on ${\mathbb{C}}^n$. Our approach is based on the algebraic identity $T_f^{(t)}{T}_g^{(t)}?T_{fg}^{(t)}=?{(H_{\overline{f}}^{(t)})}^{?}{H}_g^{(t)}$, where $H_g^{(t)}$ denotes the Hankel operator corresponding to the symbol g, and norm estimates in terms of the (weighted) heat transform. As a consequence, only f (or likewise only g) has to be contained in one of the above classes for (?) to vanish. For g we only have to impose ${\lim \sup }_{t\to 0}{6H_g^{(t)}6}_t<\infty$, e.g. $g\in L^{\infty }({\mathbb{C}}^n)$. We prove that the set of all symbols $f\in L^{\infty }({\mathbb{C}}^n)$ with the property that ${\lim }_{t\to 0}?{6T_f^{(t)}{T}_g^{(t)}?T_{fg}^{(t)}6}_t={\lim }_{t\to 0}?{6T_g^{(t)}{T}_f^{(t)}?T_{gf}^{(t)}6}_t=0$ for all $g\in L^{\infty }({\mathbb{C}}^n)$ coincides with $\mathrm{VMO}\cap L^{\infty }$. Additionally, we show that $\underset{t\to 0}{\lim }?{6T_f^{(t)}6}_t={6f6}_{\infty }$ holds for all $f\in L^{\infty }({\mathbb{C}}^n)$. Finally, we present new examples, including bounded smooth functions, where (?) does not vanish.     

Path transformations for local times of one-dimensional diffusions

Let $X$ be a regular one-dimensional transient diffusion and $L^y$ be its local time at $y$. The stochastic differential equation (SDE) whose solution corresponds to the process $X$ conditioned on $[L_{\infty }^y=a]$ for a given $a\ge 0$ is constructed and a new path decomposition result for transient diffusions is given. In the course of the construction Bessel-type motions as well as their SDE representations are studied. Moreover, the Engelbert–Schmidt theory for the weak solutions of one dimensional SDEs is extended to the case when the initial condition is an entrance boundary for the diffusion. This extension was necessary for the construction of the Bessel-type motion which played an essential part in the SDE representation of $X$ conditioned on $[L_{\infty }^y=a]$.     

Stochastic Komatu–Loewner evolutions and BMD domain constant

For Komatu–Loewner equation on a standard slit domain, we randomize the Jordan arc in a manner similar to that of Schramm (2000) to find the SDEs satisfied by the induced motion $\xi \left(t\right)$ on $?\mathbb{H}$ and the slit motion $\mathbf{s}\left(t\right)$. The diffusion coefficient $\alpha$ and drift coefficient $b$ of such SDEs are homogeneous functions.Next with solutions of such SDEs, we study the corresponding stochastic Komatu–Loewner evolution, denoted as ${\mathrm{SKLE}}_{\alpha ,b}$. We introduce a function $b_{\mathrm{BMD}}$ measuring the discrepancy of a standard slit domain from $\mathbb{H}$ relative to BMD. We show that ${\mathrm{SKLE}}_{\sqrt{6},?b_{\mathrm{BMD}}}$ enjoys a locality property.     

Differential uniformity and second order derivatives for generic polynomials

For any polynomial f of ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}[x]$ we introduce the following characteristic of the distribution of its second order derivative, which extends the differential uniformity notion:

${\delta }^2(f):=\underset{\begin{array}{c}\hfill \alpha \in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}^{?},{\alpha }^{\prime }\in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}^{?},\beta \in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}\hfill \\ \hfill \alpha \ne {\alpha }^{\prime }\hfill \end{array}}{\max }??\{x\in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}|D_{\alpha ,{\alpha }^{\prime }}^{2}f(x)=\beta \}$

where $D_{\alpha ,{\alpha }^{\prime }}^{2}f(x):=D_{{\alpha }^{\prime }}(D_{\alpha }f(x))=f(x)+f(x+\alpha )+f(x+{\alpha }^{\prime })+f(x+\alpha +{\alpha }^{\prime })$ is the second order derivative. Our purpose is to prove a density theorem relative to this quantity, which is an analogue of a density theorem proved by Voloch for the differential uniformity.     

Statistical and renewal results for the random sequential adsorption model applied to a unidirectional multicracking problem

We work out a stationary process on the real line to represent the positions of the multiple cracks which are observed in some composites materials submitted to a fixed unidirectional stress $\varepsilon$. Our model is the one-dimensional random sequential adsorption. We calculate the intensity of the process and the distribution of the inter-crack distance in the Palm sense. Moreover, the successive crack positions of the one-sided process (denoted by $X_i^{\varepsilon }$, $i⩾1$) are described. We prove that the sequence $\{(X_i^{\varepsilon },Y_i^{\varepsilon }),1⩽i⩽n\}$ is a “conditional renewal process”, where $Y_i^{\varepsilon }$ is the value of the stress at which $X_i^{\varepsilon }$ forms. The approaches “in the Palm sense” and “one-sided process” merge when $n\to +\infty$. The saturation case $(\varepsilon =+\infty )$ is also investigated.     

Weighted pseudo-almost periodic solutions of a class of semilinear fractional differential equations

We study the existence and uniqueness of a weighted pseudo-almost periodic (mild) solution to the semilinear fractional equation ${?}_t^{\alpha }u=Au+{?}_t^{\alpha ?1}f(?,u)$, $1<\alpha <2$, where $A$ is a linear operator of sectorial negative type. This article also deals with the existence of these types of solutions to abstract partial evolution equations.     

Three new results on continuation criteria for the 3D relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system

We consider continuation criteria for the three-dimensional relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system. When the particle density, $f(t,x,p)$, is compactly supported at $t=0$, we prove ${6p_0^{\frac{18}{5r}?1+\beta }f6}_{L_t^{\infty }{L}_x^r{L}_p^1}?1$, where $1\le r\le 2$ and $\beta >0$ is arbitrarily small, is a continuation criteria. Our continuation criteria is an improvement in the $1\le r\le 2$ range to the previously best known criteria ${6p_0^{\frac{4}{r}?1+\beta }f6}_{L_t^{\infty }{L}_x^r{L^1}_p}?1$ due to Kunze [7]. We also consider continuation criteria when $f(0,x,p)$ has noncompact support. In this regime, Luk–Strain [9] proved that ${6p_0^{\theta }f6}_{L_x^1{L}_p^1}?1$ is a continuation criteria for $\theta >5$. We improve this result to $\theta >3$. Finally, we build on another result by Luk–Strain [8]. The authors proved boundedness of momentum support on a fixed two-dimensional plane is a sufficient continuation criteria. We prove the same result even if the plane varies continuously in time.     

Sharp bounds for the spectral radius of digraphs

Let $G=(V\text{,}E)$ be a digraph with n vertices and m arcs without loops and multiarcs. The spectral radius $\rho (G)$ of G is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, the following sharp bounds on $\rho (G)$ have been obtained.$\min \{\sqrt{t_i^{+}{t}_j^{+}}:(v_i\text{,}{v}_j)\in E\}?\rho (G)?\max \{\sqrt{t_i^{+}{t}_j^{+}}:(v_i\text{,}{v}_j)\in E\}$where G is strongly connected and $t_i^{+}$ is the average 2-outdegree of vertex $v_i$. Moreover, each equality holds if and only if G is average 2-outdegree regular or average 2-outdegree semiregular.     

A characterization for the neighbor-distinguishing total chromatic number of planar graphs with Δ=13

The neighbor-distinguishing total chromatic number ${\chi }_a^{\prime \prime }\left(G\right)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ can be totally colored using $k$ colors with a condition that any two adjacent vertices have different sets of colors. In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for a planar graph $G$ with maximum degree 13 to have ${\chi }_a^{\prime \prime }\left(G\right)=14$ or ${\chi }_a^{\prime \prime }\left(G\right)=15$. Precisely, we show that if $G$ is a planar graph of maximum degree 13, then $14\le {\chi }_a^{\prime \prime }\left(G\right)\le 15$; and ${\chi }_a^{\prime \prime }\left(G\right)=15$ if and only if $G$ contains two adjacent 13-vertices.
