Behaviour at the non-positive integers of Dirichlet series associated to polynomials of several variables

In this paper, we relate the special values at a non-positive integer \({\underline{\mathbf{s}}=(s_{1},\ldots, s_{r})= -\underline{\mathbf{N}}= (-N_{1},\ldots, -N_{r})}\) obtained by meromorphic continuation of the multiple Dirichlet series \({{Z(\underline{\mathbf{P}}, \underline{\mathbf{s}})=\sum_{\underline{m}\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*n}}{\frac{1}{\prod_{i=1}^{r}{P_{i}^{ s_{i}}(\underline{m})}}}}}\) to special values of the function \({Y(\underline{\mathbf{P}}, \underline{\mathbf{s}})=\int_{[1, +\infty[^{n}} {\prod_{i=1}^{r}{P_{i}^{- s_{i}}(\underline{\mathbf{x}})}\; d{\underline{\mathbf{x}}}}}\) where \({\underline{\mathbf{P}}=(P_{1},..., P_{r}),\; (r\geq 1)}\) are elliptic polynomials in “\({n}\) ” variables. We prove a simple relation between \({Z(\underline{\mathbf{P}}_{\underline{\mathbf{a}}}, -\underline{\mathbf{N}})}\) and \({Y(\underline{\mathbf{P}}_{\underline{\mathbf{a}}}, -\underline{\mathbf{N}})}\), such that for all \({\underline{\mathbf{a}} \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}_{+}}\), we denote \({\underline{\mathbf{P}}_{\underline{\mathbf{a}}}:=(P_{1 \underline{\mathbf{a}}},\ldots, P_{r \underline{\mathbf{a}}})}\), where \({P_{i\;\underline{\mathbf{a}}}(\underline{\mathbf{x}}):= P_i(\underline{\mathbf{x}}+ \underline{\mathbf{a}})\; (1\leq i\leq r)}\) is the shifted polynomial.     

Some estimates for the Schrödinger type operators with nonnegative potentials

In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator ?Δ + V on \({\mathbb R^d}\), where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class \({B_{q_{_1}}}\) for some \({q_{_1}\geq \frac{d}{2}}\) with d ≥ 3. Let \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) denote the Hardy space related to the Schrödinger operator L = ?Δ + V and \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) be the dual space of \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\). We show that the Schrödinger type operator \({\nabla(-\Delta +V)^{-\beta}}\) is bounded from \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{d-(2\beta-1)}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta<\frac{3}{2} }\) and that it is also bounded from \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{2\beta-1}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta< 2}\).     

Asymptotics for Erdős–Solovej Zero Modes in Strong Fields

We consider the strong field asymptotics for the occurrence of zero modes of certain Weyl–Dirac operators on \({\mathbb{R}^3}\). In particular, we are interested in those operators \({\mathcal{D}_B}\) for which the associated magnetic field \({B}\) is given by pulling back a two-form \({\beta}\) from the sphere \({\mathbb{S}^2}\) to \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) using a combination of the Hopf fibration and inverse stereographic projection. If \({\int_{\mathbb{s}^2} \beta \neq 0}\), we show that

$$\sum_{0 \leq t \leq T} {\rm dim Ker} \mathcal{D}{tB}=\frac{T^2}{8\pi^2}\,\Big| \int_{\mathbb{S}^2}\beta\Big|\,\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}|{\beta}| +o(T^2)$$

as \({T\to+\infty}\). The result relies on Erd?s and Solovej’s characterisation of the spectrum of \({\mathcal{D}_{tB}}\) in terms of a family of Dirac operators on \({\mathbb{S}^2}\), together with information about the strong field localisation of the Aharonov–Casher zero modes of the latter.

     

Construction of sign-changing solutions for a harmonic equation with subcritical exponent

In this paper, we study the harmonic equation involving subcritical exponent \((P_{\varepsilon })\): \( \Delta u = 0 \), in \(\mathbb {B}^n\) and \(\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu } + \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2}u = \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2} K u^{\frac{n}{n-2}-\varepsilon }\) on \( \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) where \(\mathbb {B}^n \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\), \(n\ge 5\) with Euclidean metric \(g_0\), \(\partial \mathbb {B}^n = \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) is its boundary, K is a function on \(\mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) and \(\varepsilon \) is a small positive parameter. We construct solutions of the subcritical equation \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which blow up at two different critical points of K. Furthermore, we construct solutions of \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which have two bubbles and blow up at the same critical point of K.     

Map determined by rank-$$\varvec{}$$ matrice for relatively mall $$\varvec{}$$

Let n and s be integers such that \(1\le s<\frac{n}{2}\), and let \(M_n(\mathbb {K})\) be the ring of all \(n\times n\) matrices over a field \(\mathbb {K}\). Denote by \([\frac{n}{s}]\) the least integer m with \(m\ge \frac{n}{s}\). In this short note, it is proved that if \(g:M_n(\mathbb {K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb {K})\) is a map such that \(g\left( \sum _{i=1}^{[\frac{n}{s}]}A_i\right) =\sum _{i=1}^{[\frac{n}{s}]}g(A_i)\) holds for any \([\frac{n}{s}]\) rank-s matrices \(A_1,\ldots ,A_{[\frac{n}{s}]}\in M_n(\mathbb {K})\), then \(g(x)=f(x)+g(0)\), \(x\in M_n(\mathbb {K})\), for some additive map \(f:M_n(\mathbb {K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb {K})\). Particularly, g is additive if \(char\mathbb {K}\not \mid \left( [\frac{n}{s}]-1\right) \).     

Sharp Moser–Trudinger Inequalities on Hyperbolic Spaces with Exact Growth Condition

Let \(\Phi _{n}(x)=e^x-\sum _{j=0}^{n-2}\frac{x^j}{j!}\) and \(\alpha _{n} =n\omega _{n-1}^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\) be the sharp constant in Moser’s inequality (where \(\omega _{n-1}\) is the area of the surface of the unit \(n\)-ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\)), and \(dV\) be the volume element on the \(n\)-dimensional hyperbolic space \((\mathbb {H}^n, g)\) (\(n\ge {2}\)). In this paper, we establish the following sharp Moser–Trudinger type inequalities with the exact growth condition on \(\mathbb {H}^n\):

For any \(u\in {W^{1,n}(\mathbb {H}^n)}\) satisfying \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), there exists a constant \(C(n)>0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\mathbb {H}^n}\frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}|u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}}dV \le {C(n)\Vert u\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}. \end{aligned}$$

The power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) and the constant \(\alpha _{n}\) are optimal in the following senses:

1. (i)
   If the power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) in the denominator is replaced by any \(p<\frac{n}{n-1}\), then there exists a sequence of functions \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}(|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV \rightarrow {\infty }. \end{aligned}$$
    
2. (ii)
   If \(\alpha >\alpha _{n}\), then there exists a sequence of function \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha (|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV\rightarrow {\infty }, \end{aligned}$$

   for any \(p\ge {0}\).
    

This result sharpens the earlier work of the authors Lu and Tang (Adv Nonlinear Stud 13(4):1035–1052, 2013) on best constants for the Moser–Trudinger inequalities on hyperbolic spaces.

     

Sharp Affine and Improved Moser–Trudinger–Adams Type Inequalities on Unbounded Domains in the Spirit of Lions

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we prove sharp singular affine Moser–Trudinger inequalities on both bounded and unbounded domains in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n}\). In particular, we will prove the following much sharper affine Moser–Trudinger inequality in the spirit of Lions (Rev Mat Iberoamericana 1(2):45–121, 1985) (see our Theorem 1.4): Let \(\alpha _{n}=n\left( \frac{n\pi ^{\frac{n}{2}}}{\Gamma (\frac{n}{2}+1)}\right) ^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\), \(0\le \beta <n\) and \(\tau >0\). Then there exists a constant \(C=C\left( n,\beta \right) >0\) such that for all \(0\le \alpha \le \left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\) and \(u\in C_{0}^{\infty }\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\right) \setminus \left\{ 0\right\} \) with the affine energy \(~{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) <1\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} {\displaystyle \int \nolimits _{{\mathbb {R}}^{n}}} \frac{\phi _{n,1}\left( \frac{2^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\alpha }{\left( 1+{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) ^{n}\right) ^{\frac{1}{n-1}}}\left| u\right| ^{\frac{n}{n-1}}\right) }{\left| x\right| ^{\beta }}dx\le C\left( n,\beta \right) \frac{\left\| u\right\| _{n}^{n-\beta }}{\left| 1-{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) ^{n}\right| ^{1-\frac{\beta }{n}}}. \end{aligned}$$

Moreover, the constant \(\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\) is the best possible in the sense that there is no uniform constant \(C(n, \beta )\) independent of u in the above inequality when \(\alpha >\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\). Second, we establish the following improved Adams type inequality in the spirit of Lions (Theorem 1.8): Let \(0\le \beta <2m\) and \(\tau >0\). Then there exists a constant \(C=C\left( m,\beta ,\tau \right) >0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \underset{u\in W^{2,m}\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{2m}\right) , \int _{ {\mathbb {R}}^{2m}}\left| \Delta u\right| ^{m}+\tau \left| u\right| ^{m} \le 1}{\sup } {\displaystyle \int \nolimits _{{\mathbb {R}}^{2m}}} \frac{\phi _{2m,2}\left( \frac{2^{\frac{1}{m-1}}\alpha }{\left( 1+\left\| \Delta u\right\| _{m}^{m}\right) ^{\frac{1}{m-1}}}\left| u\right| ^{\frac{m}{m-1}}\right) }{\left| x\right| ^{\beta }}dx\le C\left( m,\beta ,\tau \right) , \end{aligned}$$

for all \(0\le \alpha \le \left( 1-\frac{\beta }{2m}\right) \beta (2m,2)\). When \(\alpha >\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{2m}\right) \beta (2m,2)\), the supremum is infinite. In the above, we use

$$\begin{aligned} \phi _{p,q}(t)=e^{t}- {\displaystyle \sum \limits _{j=0}^{j_{\frac{p}{q}}-2}} \frac{t^{j}}{j!},\,\,\,j_{\frac{p}{q}}=\min \left\{ j\in {\mathbb {N}} :j\ge \frac{p}{q}\right\} \ge \frac{p}{q}. \end{aligned}$$

The main difficulties of proving the above results are that the symmetrization method does not work. Therefore, our main ideas are to develop a rearrangement-free argument in the spirit of Lam and Lu (J Differ Equ 255(3):298–325, 2013; Adv Math 231(6): 3259–3287, 2012), Lam et al. (Nonlinear Anal 95: 77–92, 2014) to establish such theorems. Third, as an application, we will study the existence of weak solutions to the biharmonic equation

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta ^{2}u+V(x)u=f(x,u)\text { in }{\mathbb {R}}^{4}\\ u\in H^{2}\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{4}\right) ,~u\ge 0 \end{array} \right. , \end{aligned}$$

where the nonlinearity f has the critical exponential growth.

     

Mixed Wavelet Leaders Multifractal Formalism in a Product of Critical Besov Spaces

In this paper, we will prove (resp. study) the Baire generic validity of the upper-Hölder (resp. iso-Hölder) mixed wavelet leaders multifractal formalism on a product of two critical Besov spaces \(B_{t_{1}}^{\frac{m}{t_{1}},q_{1}}(\mathbb {R}^m) \times B_{t_{2}}^{\frac{m}{t_{2}},q_{2}}(\mathbb {R}^m)\), for \(t_1,t_2>0\), \(q_1 \le 1\) and \(q_2 \le 1\). Contrary to product spaces \(B_{t_{1}}^{s_{1},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \times B_{t_{2}}^{s_{2},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \) with \(s_{1} > \frac{m}{t_{1}}\) and \(s_{2} >\frac{m}{t_{2}}\) (Ben Slimane in Mediterr J Math, 13(4):1513–1533, 2016) and \((B_{t_{1}}^{s_{1},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \cap C^{\gamma _{1}}(\mathbb {R}^m)) \times (B_{t_{2}}^{s_{2},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \cap C^{\gamma _{2}}(\mathbb {R}^m)\) with \(0<\gamma _{1}<s_{1}<\frac{m}{t_{1}}\) and \(0<\gamma _{2}<s_{2}<\frac{m}{t_{2}}\) (Ben Abid et al. in Mediterr J Math, 13(6):5093–5118, 2016), all pairs of functions in the obtained generic set are not uniform Hölder. Nevertheless, the characterization of the upper bound of the Hölder exponent by decay conditions of local wavelet leaders suffices for our study.     

Lp estimates for non-smooth bilinear Littlewood–Paley square functions on $${\mathbb{R}}$$

In this work, we study some non-smooth bilinear analogues of linear Littlewood–Paley square functions on the real line. We prove boundedness-properties in Lebesgue spaces for them. Let us consider the functions \({\phi_{n}}\) satisfying \({\widehat{\phi_n}(\xi)={\bf 1}_{[n,n+1]}(\xi)}\) and define the bilinear operator \({S_n(f,g)(x):=\int f(x+y)g(x-y) \phi_n(y) dy}\) . These bilinear operators are closely related to the bilinear Hilbert transforms. Then for exponents \({p,q,r'\in[2,\infty)}\) satisfying \({\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{r}}\) , we prove that

$\left\| \left( \sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}\left|S_n(f,g) \right|^2 \right)^{1/2}\right\|_{L^{r}(\mathbb{R})}\lesssim \|f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R})}\|g\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R})}.$

     

Open book structures on semi-algebraic manifolds

Given a C ² semi-algebraic mapping \({F} : {\mathbb{R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^p}\), we consider its restriction to \({W \hookrightarrow \mathbb{R^{N}}}\) an embedded closed semi-algebraic manifold of dimension \({n-1 \geq p \geq 2}\) and introduce sufficient conditions for the existence of a fibration structure (generalized open book structure) induced by the projection \({\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert}:W{\setminus} F^{-1}(0) \to S^{p-1}}\). Moreover, we show that the well known local and global Milnor fibrations, in the real and complex settings, follow as a byproduct by considering W as spheres of small and big radii, respectively. Furthermore, we consider the composition mapping of F with the canonical projection \({\pi: \mathbb{R}^{p} \to \mathbb{R}^{p-1}}\) and prove that the fibers of \({\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert}}\) and \({\frac{\pi \circ F}{\Vert \pi \circ F \Vert}}\) are homotopy equivalent. We also show several formulae relating the Euler characteristics of the fiber of the projection \({\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert}}\) and \({W \cap F^{-1}(0)}\). Similar formulae are proved for mappings obtained after composition of F with canonical projections.     

On the classification of 4-dimensional $$(m,\rho )$$-quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature

In this paper we study four-dimensional \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature when \(m\notin \{0,\pm 1,-2,\pm \infty \}\) and \(\rho \notin \{\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{6}\}\). We prove that a non-trivial \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein metric g (not necessarily complete) is locally isometric to one of the following: (i) \({\mathcal {B}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\), where \({\mathcal {B}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\) is the northern hemisphere in the two-dimensional (2D) sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\), \({\mathbb {N}}_\delta \) is a 2D Riemannian manifold with constant curvature \(\delta \), and R is the constant scalar curvature of g. (ii) \({\mathcal {D}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\), where \({\mathcal {D}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\) is half (cut by a hyperbolic line) of hyperbolic plane \({\mathbb {H}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\). (iii) \({\mathbb {H}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\). (iv) A certain singular metric with \(\rho =0\). (v) A locally conformal flat metric. By applying this local classification, we obtain a classification of the complete \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein manifolds given the condition of a harmonic Weyl curvature. Our result can be viewed as a local classification of gradient Einstein-type manifolds. A corollary of our result is the classification of \((\lambda ,4+m)\)-Einstein manifolds, which can be viewed as (m, 0)-quasi-Einstein manifolds.     

A Characterization of Two-Weight Norm Inequality for Littlewood–Paley $$g_{\lambda }^{*}$$-Function

Let \(n\ge 2\) and \(g_{\lambda }^{*}\) be the well-known high-dimensional Littlewood–Paley function which was defined and studied by E. M. Stein,

$$\begin{aligned} g_{\lambda }^{*}(f)(x) =\bigg (\iint _{\mathbb {R}^{n+1}_{+}} \Big (\frac{t}{t+|x-y|}\Big )^{n\lambda } |\nabla P_tf(y,t)|^2 \frac{\mathrm{d}y \mathrm{d}t}{t^{n-1}}\bigg )^{1/2}, \ \quad \lambda > 1, \end{aligned}$$

where \(P_tf(y,t)=p_t*f(y)\), \(p_t(y)=t^{-n}p(y/t)\), and \(p(x) = (1+|x|^2)^{-(n+1)/2}\), \(\nabla =(\frac{\partial }{\partial y_1},\ldots ,\frac{\partial }{\partial y_n},\frac{\partial }{\partial t})\). In this paper, we give a characterization of two-weight norm inequality for \(g_{\lambda }^{*}\)-function. We show that \(\big \Vert g_{\lambda }^{*}(f \sigma ) \big \Vert _{L^2(w)} \lesssim \big \Vert f \big \Vert _{L^2(\sigma )}\) if and only if the two-weight Muckenhoupt \(A_2\) condition holds, and a testing condition holds:

$$\begin{aligned} \sup _{Q : \text {cubes}~\mathrm{in} \ {\mathbb {R}^n}} \frac{1}{\sigma (Q)} \int _{{\mathbb {R}^n}} \iint _{\widehat{Q}} \Big (\frac{t}{t+|x-y|}\Big )^{n\lambda }|\nabla P_t(\mathbf {1}_Q \sigma )(y,t)|^2 \frac{w \mathrm{d}x \mathrm{d}t}{t^{n-1}} \mathrm{d}y < \infty , \end{aligned}$$

where \(\widehat{Q}\) is the Carleson box over Q and \((w, \sigma )\) is a pair of weights. We actually prove this characterization for \(g_{\lambda }^{*}\)-function associated with more general fractional Poisson kernel \(p^\alpha (x) = (1+|x|^2)^{-{(n+\alpha )}/{2}}\). Moreover, the corresponding results for intrinsic \(g_{\lambda }^*\)-function are also presented.

     

Integer Decomposition Property of Free Sums of Convex Polytopes

Let \({\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q} \subset \mathbb{R}^{e}}\) be integral convex polytopes of dimension d and e which contain the origin of \({\mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathbb{R}^{e}}\), respectively. We say that an integral convex polytope \({\mathcal{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) possesses the integer decomposition property if, for each \({n\geq1}\) and for each \({\gamma \in n\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\), there exist \({\gamma^{(1)}, . . . , \gamma^{(n)}}\) belonging to \({\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\) such that \({\gamma = \gamma^{(1)} +. . .+\gamma^{(n)}}\). In the present paper, under some assumptions, the necessary and sufficient condition for the free sum of \({\mathcal{P}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}\) to possess the integer decomposition property will be presented.     

On the stability of a generalization of Jensen functional equation

Using the fixed point method, we investigate the stability of a generalization of Jensen functional equation

$$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} f(x+ b_{k}y)=nf(x),$$

where \({n \in \mathbb{N}_{2}}\), \({b_{k}=\exp(\frac{2i\pi k}{n})}\) for \({0\leq k \leq n-1}\), in Banach spaces. Also, we prove the hyperstability results of this equation by the fixed point method.

     

Sign-changing blowing-up solutions for a non-homogeneous elliptic equation at the critical exponent

We consider the equation \(-\Delta u = |u| ^{\frac{4}{n-2}}u + \varepsilon f(x) \) under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain \(\Omega \) in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\), \(n \ge 3\), with \(f\ge 0\), \(f\ne 0\). We find sign-changing solutions with large energy. The basic cell in the construction is the sign-changing nodal solution to the critical Yamabe problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta w = |w|^{\frac{4}{n-2}} w, \quad w \in {\mathcal D}^{1,2} (\mathbb {R}^n) \end{aligned}$$

recently constructed in del Pino et al. (J Differ Equ 251(9):2568–2597, 2011).

     

The concentration behavior of ground state solutions for a fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system

In this paper, we study the following fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon ^{2s}(-\Delta )^s u +V(x)u+\phi u=K(x)|u|^{p-2}u,\,\,\text {in}~\mathbb {R}^3,\\ \\ \varepsilon ^{2s}(-\Delta )^s \phi =u^2,\,\,\text {in}~\mathbb {R}^3, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

where \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter, \(\frac{3}{4}<s<1\), \(4<p<2_s^*:=\frac{6}{3-2s}\), \(V(x)\in C(\mathbb {R}^3)\cap L^\infty (\mathbb {R}^3)\) has positive global minimum, and \(K(x)\in C(\mathbb {R}^3)\cap L^\infty (\mathbb {R}^3)\) is positive and has global maximum. We prove the existence of a positive ground state solution by using variational methods for each \(\varepsilon >0\) sufficiently small, and we determine a concrete set related to the potentials V and K as the concentration position of these ground state solutions as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\). Moreover, we considered some properties of these ground state solutions, such as convergence and decay estimate.

     

Lower order eigenvalues of a system of equations of the drifting Laplacian on the metric measure spaces

Let \(\Omega \) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary in an n-dimensional metric measure space \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\phi }dv)\) and let \(\mathbf {u}=(u^1, \ldots , u^n)\) be a vector-valued function from \(\Omega \) to \(\mathbb {R}^n\). In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of a system of equations of the drifting Laplacian: \(\mathbb {L}_{\phi } \mathbf {u} + \alpha [ \nabla (\mathrm {div}\mathbf { u}) -\nabla \phi \mathrm {div} \mathbf {u}]= - \widetilde{\sigma } \mathbf {u}\), in \( \Omega \), and \(u|_{\partial \Omega }=0,\) where \(\mathbb {L}_{\phi } = \Delta - \nabla \phi \cdot \nabla \) is the drifting Laplacian and \(\alpha \) is a nonnegative constant. We establish some universal inequalities for lower order eigenvalues of this problem on the metric measure space \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\phi }dv)\) and the Gaussian shrinking soliton \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle _{\mathrm {can}}, e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{4}}dv, \frac{1}{2})\). Moreover, we give an estimate for the upper bound of the second eigenvalue of this problem in terms of its first eigenvalue on the gradient product Ricci soliton \((\Sigma \times \mathbb {R}, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\frac{\kappa t^2}{2}}dv, \kappa )\), where \( \Sigma \) is an Einstein manifold with constant Ricci curvature \(\kappa \).     

Heat kernel approach for sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight

In this article, using the heat kernel approach from Bouche (Asymptotic results for Hermitian line bundles over complex manifolds: The heat kernel approach, Higher-dimensional complex varieties, pp 67–81, de Gruyter, Berlin, 1996), we derive sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight. Let \({\Gamma\subset \mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})}\) be a cocompact Fuchsian subgroup of first kind. For \({k \in \frac{1}{2} \mathbb{Z}}\) (or \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)), let \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\) denote the complex vector space of cusp forms of weight-k and nebentypus \({\nu^{2k}}\) (\({\nu^{k\slash 2}}\), if \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)) with respect to \({\Gamma}\), where \({\nu}\) is a unitary character. Let \({\lbrace f_{1},\ldots,f_{j_{k}} \rbrace}\) denote an orthonormal basis of \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\). In this article, we show that as \({k \rightarrow \infty,}\) the sup-norm for \({\sum_{i=1}^{j_{k}}y^{k}|f_{i}(z)|^{2}}\) is bounded by O(k), where the implied constant is independent of \({\Gamma}\). Furthermore, using results from Berman (Math. Z. 248:325–344, 2004), we extend these results to the case when \({\Gamma}\) is cofinite.     

Hölder continuity for continuous solutions of the singular minimal surface equation with arbitrary zero set

In this paper we prove the following theorem: Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) be a bounded open set, \(\psi \in C_{c}^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), \(\psi > 0\) on \(\partial \Omega \), be given boundary values and u a nonnegative solution to the problem

$$\begin{aligned}&u \in C^{0}(\overline{\Omega }) \cap C^{2}(\{u> 0\}) \\&u = \psi \quad \text { on } \; \partial \Omega \\&{\text {div}} \left( \frac{Du}{\sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}}\right) = \frac{\alpha }{u \sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}} \quad \text { in } \; \{u > 0\} \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha > 0\) is a given constant. Then \(u \in C^{0, \frac{1}{2}} (\overline{\Omega })\). Furthermore we prove strict mean convexity of the free boundary \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) provided \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) is assumed to be of class \(C^{2}\) and \(\alpha \ge 1\).

     

Asymptotic distribution of critical values

We study the asymptotic distribution of the critical values of f _n as n goes to infinity. Let X be a closed manifold and \({f:X \times X \to \mathbb{R}}\) be a smooth function. Define \({f_n : X^{n+1} \to \mathbb{R}}\) by \({f_n(x_1, \ldots, x_{n+1}) := \frac{1}{n}\sum f(x_i, x_{i+1})}\) .
