Conical stochastic maximal L^p-regularity for 1\leqslant p<\infty

Let \(A = -\mathrm{div} \,a(\cdot ) \nabla \) be a second order divergence form elliptic operator on \({\mathbb R}^n\) with bounded measurable real-valued coefficients and let \(W\) be a cylindrical Brownian motion in a Hilbert space \(H\) . Our main result implies that the stochastic convolution process $$\begin{aligned} u(t) = \int _0^t e^{-(t-s)A}g(s)\,dW(s), \quad t\geqslant 0, \end{aligned}$$ satisfies, for all \(1\leqslant p<\infty \) , a conical maximal \(L^p\) -regularity estimate $$\begin{aligned} {\mathbb E}\Vert \nabla u \Vert _{ T_2^{p,2}({\mathbb R}_+\times {\mathbb R}^n)}^p \leqslant C_p^p {\mathbb E}\Vert g \Vert _{ T_2^{p,2}({\mathbb R}_+\times {\mathbb R}^n;H)}^p. \end{aligned}$$ Here, \(T_2^{p,2}({\mathbb R}_+\times {\mathbb R}^n)\) and \(T_2^{p,2}({\mathbb R}_+\times {\mathbb R}^n;H)\) are the parabolic tent spaces of real-valued and \(H\) -valued functions, respectively. This contrasts with Krylov’s maximal \(L^p\) -regularity estimate $$\begin{aligned} {\mathbb E}\Vert \nabla u \Vert _{L^p({\mathbb R}_+;L^2({\mathbb R}^n;{\mathbb R}^n))}^p \leqslant C^p {\mathbb E}\Vert g \Vert _{L^p({\mathbb R}_+;L^2({\mathbb R}^n;H))}^p \end{aligned}$$ which is known to hold only for \(2\leqslant p<\infty \) , even when \(A = -\Delta \) and \(H = {\mathbb R}\) . The proof is based on an \(L^2\) -estimate and extrapolation arguments which use the fact that \(A\) satisfies suitable off-diagonal bounds. Our results are applied to obtain conical stochastic maximal \(L^p\) -regularity for a class of nonlinear SPDEs with rough initial data.     

On the Dynamics of WKB Wave Functions Whose Phase are Weak KAM Solutions of H–J Equation

In the framework of toroidal Pseudodifferential operators on the flat torus \({\mathbb {T}}^n := ({\mathbb {R}} / 2\pi {\mathbb {Z}})^n\) we begin by proving the closure under composition for the class of Weyl operators \(\mathrm {Op}^w_\hbar (b)\) with symbols \(b \in S^m (\mathbb {T}^n \times \mathbb {R}^n)\) . Subsequently, we consider \(\mathrm {Op}^w_\hbar (H)\) when \(H=\frac{1}{2} |\eta |^2 + V(x)\) where \(V \in C^\infty ({\mathbb {T}}^n)\) and we exhibit the toroidal version of the equation for the Wigner transform of the solution of the Schrödinger equation. Moreover, we prove the convergence (in a weak sense) of the Wigner transform of the solution of the Schrödinger equation to the solution of the Liouville equation on \(\mathbb {T}^n \times {\mathbb {R}}^n\) written in the measure sense. These results are applied to the study of some WKB type wave functions in the Sobolev space \(H^{1} (\mathbb {T}^n; {\mathbb {C}})\) with phase functions in the class of Lipschitz continuous weak KAM solutions (positive and negative type) of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation \(\frac{1}{2} |P+ \nabla _x v (P,x)|^2 + V(x) = \bar{H}(P)\) for \(P \in \ell {\mathbb {Z}}^n\) with \(\ell >0\) , and to the study of the backward and forward time propagation of the related Wigner measures supported on the graph of \(P+ \nabla _x v\) .     

Distributions and the Global Operator of Slice Monogenic Functions

In this paper we consider functions \(f\) defined on an open set \(U\) of the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R }^{n+1}\) and with values in the Clifford Algebra \(\mathbb{R }_n\) . Slice monogenic functions \(f: U \subseteq \mathbb{R }^{n+1} \rightarrow \mathbb{R }_n\) belong to the kernel of the global differential operator with non constant coefficients given by \( \mathcal{G }=|{\underline{x}}|^2\frac{\partial }{\partial x_0} \ + \ {\underline{x}} \ \sum _{j=1}^n x_j\frac{\partial }{\partial x_j}. \) Since the operator \(\mathcal{G }\) is not elliptic and there is a degeneracy in \( {\underline{x}}=0\) , its kernel contains also less smooth functions that have to be interpreted as distributions. We study the distributional solutions of the differential equation \(\mathcal{G }F(x_0,{\underline{x}})=G(x_0,{\underline{x}})\) and some of its variations. In particular, we focus our attention on the solutions of the differential equation \( ({\underline{x}}\frac{\partial }{\partial x_0} \ - E)F(x_0,{\underline{x}})=G(x_0,{\underline{x}}), \) where \(E= \sum _{j=1}^n x_j\frac{\partial }{\partial x_j}\) is the Euler operator, from which we deduce properties of the solutions of the equation \( \mathcal{G }F(x_0,{\underline{x}})=G(x_0,{\underline{x}})\) .     

Estimates of three classical summations on the spaces F_p~(α,q)(R~n)(0 < p ≤ 1)

We obtain the boundedness on ˙Fα,qp(Rn) for the Poisson summation and Gauss summation. Their maximal operators are proved to be bounded from˙Fα,qp(Rn) to L∞(Rn).For the maximal operator of the Bochner-Riesz summation, we prove that it is bounded from˙Fα,qp(Rn) to Lpnn-pα,∞(Rn).     

A Probabilistic Symbolic Algorithm to Find the Minimum of a Polynomial Function on a Basic Closed Semialgebraic Set

We consider the problem of computing the minimum of a polynomial function \(g\) on a basic closed semialgebraic set \(E\subset \mathbb {R}^n\) . We present a probabilistic symbolic algorithm to find a finite set of sample points of the subset \(E^{\min }\) of \(E\) where the minimum of \(g\) is attained, provided that \(E^{\min }\) is non-empty and has at least one compact connected component.     

Gaussian Integral Means of Entire Functions

For an entire function \(f:\mathbb C\mapsto \mathbb C\) and a triple \((p,\alpha , r)\in (0,\infty )\times (-\infty ,\infty )\times (0,\infty ]\) , the Gaussian integral mean of \(f\) (with respect to the area measure \(dA\) ) is defined by $$\begin{aligned} {\mathsf M}_{p,\alpha }(f,r)=\left( \,\, {\int \limits _{|z| Via deriving a maximum principle for \({\mathsf M}_{p,\alpha }(f,r)\) , we establish not only Fock–Sobolev trace inequalities associated with \({\mathsf M}_{p,p/2}(z^m f(z),\infty )\) (as \(m=0,1,2,\ldots \) ), but also convexities of \(r\mapsto \ln {\mathsf M}_{p,\alpha }(z^m,r)\) and \(r\mapsto {\mathsf M}_{2,\alpha <0}(f,r)\) in \(\ln r\) with \(0 .     

Layer solutions for the fractional Laplacian on hyperbolic space: existence,uniqueness and qualitative properties

We investigate the equation $$\begin{aligned} (-\Delta _{\mathbb{H }^n})^{\gamma } w=f(w)\quad \text{ in } \mathbb{H }^{n}, \end{aligned}$$ where \((-\Delta _{\mathbb{H }^n})^\gamma \) corresponds to the fractional Laplacian on hyperbolic space for \(\gamma \in (0,1)\) and \(f\) is a smooth nonlinearity that typically comes from a double well potential. We prove the existence of heteroclinic connections in the following sense; a so-called layer solution is a smooth solution of the previous equation converging to \(\pm 1\) at any point of the two hemispheres \(S_\pm \subset \partial _\infty \mathbb{H }^n\) and which is strictly increasing with respect to the signed distance to a totally geodesic hyperplane \(\Pi \) . We prove that under additional conditions on the nonlinearity uniqueness holds up to isometry. Then we provide several symmetry results and qualitative properties of the layer solutions. Finally, we consider the multilayer case, at least when \(\gamma \) is close to one.     

Randomized large distortion dimension reduction

Consider a random matrix \(H:{\mathbb {R}}^{n}\longrightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^{m}\) . Let \(D\ge 2\) and let \(\{W_l\}_{l=1}^{p}\) be a set of \(k\) -dimensional affine subspaces of \({\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) . We ask what is the probability that for all \(1\le l\le p\) and \(x,y\in W_l\) , $$\begin{aligned} \Vert x-y\Vert _2\le \Vert Hx-Hy\Vert _2\le D\Vert x-y\Vert _2. \end{aligned}$$ We show that for \(m=O\big (k+\frac{\ln {p}}{\ln {D}}\big )\) and a variety of different classes of random matrices \(H\) , which include the class of Gaussian matrices, existence is assured and the probability is very high. The estimate on \(m\) is tight in terms of \(k,p,D\) .     

A Frank–Wolfe type theorem for nondegenerate polynomial programs

In this paper, we study the existence of optimal solutions to a constrained polynomial optimization problem. More precisely, let \(f_0\) and \(f_1, \ldots , f_p :{\mathbb {R}}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) be convenient polynomial functions, and let \(S := \{x \in {\mathbb {R}}^n \ : \ f_i(x) \le 0, i = 1, \ldots , p\} \ne \emptyset .\) Under the assumption that the map \((f_0, f_{1}, \ldots , f_{p}) :{\mathbb {R}}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^{p + 1}\) is non-degenerate at infinity, we show that if \(f_0\) is bounded from below on \(S,\) then \(f_0\) attains its infimum on \(S.\)      

Representations of set-valued risk measures defined on the l-tensor product of Banach lattices

We obtain a representation for set-valued risk measures which are defined on the completed \(l\) -tensor product \(E\widetilde{\otimes }_l G\) of Banach lattices \(E\) and \(G\) . This representation extends known representations for set-valued risk measures defined on Bochner spaces \(L^p(\mathbb {P}, \mathbb {R}^d)\) of \(p\) -integrable functions with values in \(\mathbb {R}^d\) .     

Semiclassical limits of ground state solutions to Schrödinger systems

This paper is concerned with the existence and concentration properties of the ground state solutions to the following coupled Schrödinger systems $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta u+u+V(x)v=W(x)G_{v}(z)~\hbox { in }\ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta v+v+V(x)u=W(x)G_{u}(z)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ u(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {and }v(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {as } \ |x|\rightarrow \infty , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ and $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta u+u+V(x)v=W(x)(G_{v}(z)+|z|^{2^*-2}v)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta v+v+V(x)u=W(x)(G_{u}(z)+|z|^{2^*-2}u)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ u(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {and }v(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {as } \ |x|\rightarrow \infty , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ where \(z=(u,v)\in {\mathbb {R}}^2\) , \(G\) is a power type nonlinearity, having superquadratic growth at both \(0\) and infinity but subcritical, \(V\) can be sign-changing and \(\inf W>0\) . We prove the existence, exponential decay, \(H^2\) -convergence and concentration phenomena of the ground state solutions for small \(\varepsilon >0\) .     

The \bar{\partial }-Equation on an Annulus Between Two Strictly q-Convex Domains with Smooth Boundaries

In this paper, we study the global boundary regularity of the \(\bar{\partial }\) - equation on an annulus domain \(\Omega \) between two strictly \(q\) -convex domains with smooth boundaries in \(\mathbb{C }^n\) for some bidegree. To this finish, we first show that the \(\bar{\partial }\) -operator has closed range on \(L^{2}_{r, s}(\Omega )\) and the \(\bar{\partial }\) -Neumann operator exists and is compact on \(L^{2}_{r,s}(\Omega )\) for all \(r\ge 0\) , \(q\le s\le n-q- 1\) . We also prove that the \(\bar{\partial }\) -Neumann operator and the Bergman projection operator are continuous on the Sobolev space \(W^{k}_{r,s}(\Omega )\) , \(k\ge 0\) , \(r\ge 0\) , and \(q\le s\le n-q-1\) . Consequently, the \(L^{2}\) -existence theorem for the \(\bar{\partial }\) -equation on such domain is established. As an application, we obtain a global solution for the \(\bar{\partial }\) equation with Hölder and \(L^p\) -estimates on strictly \(q\) -concave domain with smooth \(\mathcal C ^2\) boundary in \(\mathbb{C }^n\) , by using the local solutions and applying the pushing out method of Kerzman (Commun Pure Appl Math 24:301–380, 1971).     

L^p-Integrability,Dimensions of Supports of Fourier Transforms and Applications

It is proved that there does not exist any non zero function in \(L^p({\mathbb R}^n)\) with \(1\le p\le 2n/\alpha \) if its Fourier transform is supported by a set of finite packing \(\alpha \) -measure where \(0<\alpha <n\) . It is shown that the assertion fails for \(p>2n/\alpha \) . The result is applied to prove \(L^p\) Wiener Tauberian theorems for \({\mathbb R}^n\) and \(M(2)\) .     

On Sub-determinants and the Diameter of Polyhedra

We derive a new upper bound on the diameter of a polyhedron \(P = \{x {\in } {\mathbb {R}}^n :Ax\le b\}\) , where \(A \in {\mathbb {Z}}^{m\times n}\) . The bound is polynomial in \(n\) and the largest absolute value of a sub-determinant of \(A\) , denoted by \(\Delta \) . More precisely, we show that the diameter of \(P\) is bounded by \(O(\Delta ^2 n^4\log n\Delta )\) . If \(P\) is bounded, then we show that the diameter of \(P\) is at most \(O(\Delta ^2 n^{3.5}\log n\Delta )\) . For the special case in which \(A\) is a totally unimodular matrix, the bounds are \(O(n^4\log n)\) and \(O(n^{3.5}\log n)\) respectively. This improves over the previous best bound of \(O(m^{16}n^3(\log mn)^3)\) due to Dyer and Frieze (Math Program 64:1–16, 1994).     

Weak lower semicontinuity for polyconvex integrals in the limit case

We prove a lower semicontinuity result for polyconvex functionals of the Calculus of Variations along sequences of maps \(u:\Omega \subset \mathbb{R }^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R }^m\) in \(W^{1,m}\) , \(2\le m\le n\) , bounded in \(W^{1,m-1}\) and convergent in \(L^1\) under mild technical conditions but without any extra coercivity assumption on the integrand.     

Measure of Self-Affine Sets and Associated Densities

Let \(B\) be an \(n\times n\) real expanding matrix and \(\mathcal {D}\) be a finite subset of \(\mathbb {R}^n\) with \(0\in \mathcal {D}\) . The self-affine set \(K=K(B,\mathcal {D})\) is the unique compact set satisfying the set-valued equation \(BK=\bigcup _{d\in \mathcal {D}}(K+d)\) . In the case where \(\#\mathcal D=|\det B|,\) we relate the Lebesgue measure of \(K(B,\mathcal {D})\) to the upper Beurling density of the associated measure \(\mu =\lim _{s\rightarrow \infty }\sum _{\ell _0, \ldots ,\ell _{s-1}\in \mathcal {D}}\delta _{\ell _0+B\ell _1+\cdots +B^{s-1}\ell _{s-1}}.\) If, on the other hand, \(\#\mathcal D<|\det B|\) and \(B\) is a similarity matrix, we relate the Hausdorff measure \(\mathcal {H}^s(K)\) , where \(s\) is the similarity dimension of \(K\) , to a corresponding notion of upper density for the measure \(\mu \) .     

Cohomology classes of conormal bundles of Schubert varieties and Yangian weight functions

We consider the conormal bundle of a Schubert variety \(S_I\) in the cotangent bundle \(T^*\!{{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}}\) of the Grassmannian \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}}\) of \(k\) -planes in \({{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^n\) . This conormal bundle has a fundamental class \({\kappa _I}\) in the equivariant cohomology \(H^*_{{{\mathrm{\mathbb T}}}}(T^*\!\!{{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}})\) . Here \({{\mathrm{\mathbb T}}}=({{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^*)^n\times {{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^*\) . The torus \(({{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^*)^n\) acts on \(T^*\!{{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}}\) in the standard way and the last factor \({{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^*\) acts by multiplication on fibers of the bundle. We express this fundamental class as a sum \(Y_I\) of the Yangian \(Y(\mathfrak {gl}_2)\) weight functions \((W_J)_J\) . We describe a relation of \(Y_I\) with the double Schur polynomial \([S_I]\) . A modified version of the \(\kappa _I\) classes, named \(\kappa '_I\) , satisfy an orthogonality relation with respect to an inner product induced by integration on the non-compact manifold \(T^*\!{{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}}\) . This orthogonality is analogous to the well known orthogonality satisfied by the classes of Schubert varieties with respect to integration on \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}}\) . The classes \((\kappa '_I)_I\) form a basis in the suitably localized equivariant cohomology \(H^*_{{{\mathrm{\mathbb T}}}}(T^*\!\!{{\mathrm{\mathrm {Gr}}}})\) . This basis depends on the choice of the coordinate flag in \({{\mathrm{\mathbb {C}}}}^n\) . We show that the bases corresponding to different coordinate flags are related by the Yangian R-matrix.     

Uncertainty principles and sum complexes

Let \(p\) be a prime and let \(A\) be a nonempty subset of the cyclic group \(C_p\) . For a field \({\mathbb F}\) and an element \(f\) in the group algebra \({\mathbb F}[C_p]\) let \(T_f\) be the endomorphism of \({\mathbb F}[C_p]\) given by \(T_f(g)=fg\) . The uncertainty number \(u_{{\mathbb F}}(A)\) is the minimal rank of \(T_f\) over all nonzero \(f \in {\mathbb F}[C_p]\) such that \(\mathrm{supp}(f) \subset A\) . The following topological characterization of uncertainty numbers is established. For \(1 \le k \le p\) define the sum complex \(X_{A,k}\) as the \((k-1)\) -dimensional complex on the vertex set \(C_p\) with a full \((k-2)\) -skeleton whose \((k-1)\) -faces are all \(\sigma \subset C_p\) such that \(|\sigma |=k\) and \(\prod _{x \in \sigma }x \in A\) . It is shown that if \({\mathbb F}\) is algebraically closed then $$\begin{aligned} u_{{\mathbb F}}(A)=p-\max \{k :\tilde{H}_{k-1}(X_{A,k};{\mathbb F}) \ne 0\}. \end{aligned}$$ The main ingredient in the proof is the determination of the homology groups of \(X_{A,k}\) with field coefficients. In particular it is shown that if \(|A| \le k\) then \(\tilde{H}_{k-1}(X_{A,k};{\mathbb F}_p)\!=\!0.\)
