$$L^1$$-Uniqueness of Kolmogorov Operators Associated with Two-Dimensional Stochastic Navier–Stokes Coriolis Equations with Space–Time White Noise

We consider the Kolmogorov operator \(K\) associated with a stochastic Navier–Stokes equation driven by space–time white noise on the two-dimensional torus with periodic boundary conditions and a rotating reference frame, introducing fictitious forces such as the Coriolis force. This equation then serves as a simple model for geophysical flows. We prove that the Gaussian measure induced by the enstrophy is infinitesimally invariant for \(K\) on finitely based cylindrical test functions, and moreover, \(K\) is \(L^1\)-unique with respect to the enstrophy measure for sufficiently large viscosity.     

Asymmetric critical <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian problems

We obtain nontrivial solutions for two types of asymmetric critical p-Laplacian problems with Ambrosetti–Prodi type nonlinearities in a smooth bounded domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^N,\, N \ge 2\). For \(1< p < N\), we consider an asymmetric problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent \(p^*= Np/(N - p)\). In the borderline case \(p = N\), we consider an asymmetric critical exponential nonlinearity of the Trudinger–Moser type. In the absence of a suitable direct sum decomposition, we use a linking theorem based on the \({\mathbb {Z}}_2\)-cohomological index to prove existence of solutions.     

Analytic Smoothing Effect for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations Without Square Integrability

In this study we consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with data which belong to \(L^p,\)\(1<p<2.\) In particular, we discuss analytic smoothing effect with data which satisfy exponentially decaying condition at spatial infinity in \(L^p,\)\(1<p<2.\) We construct solutions in the function space of analytic vectors for the Galilei generator and the analytic Hardy space with the phase modulation operator based on \(L^{p}\).     

The solution gap of the Brezis–Nirenberg problem on the hyperbolic space

We consider the positive solutions of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem \(-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}^n} u = \lambda u + u^p, \) with \(p=\frac{n+2}{n-2}\) and \(u \in H_0^1(\Omega ),\) where \(\Omega \) is a geodesic ball of radius \(\theta _1\) on \(\mathbb {H}^n.\) For radial solutions, this equation can be written as an ordinary differential equation having n as a parameter. In this setting, the problem can be extended to consider real values of n. We show that if \(2<n<4\) this problem has a unique positive solution if and only if \(\lambda \in \left( n(n-2)/4 +L^*\,,\, \lambda _1\right) .\) Here \(L^*\) is the first positive value of \(L = -\ell (\ell +1)\) for which a suitably defined associated Legendre function \(P_{\ell }^{-\alpha }(\cosh \theta ) >0\) if \(0 < \theta <\theta _1\) and \(P_{\ell }^{-\alpha }(\cosh \theta _1)=0,\) with \(\alpha = (2-n)/2\).     

Examples of Ricci-Mean Curvature Flows

Let \(\pi :{\mathbb {P}}({\mathcal {O}}(0)\oplus {\mathcal {O}}(k))\rightarrow {\mathbb {P}}^{n-1}\) be a projective bundle over \({\mathbb {P}}^{n-1}\) with \(1\le k \le n-1\). We denote \({\mathbb {P}}({\mathcal {O}}(0)\oplus {\mathcal {O}}(k))\) by \(N_{k}^{n}\) and endow it with the U(n)-invariant gradient shrinking Kähler Ricci soliton structure constructed by Cao (Elliptic and parabolic methods in geometry (Minneapolis, MN, 1994), A K Peters, Wellesley, 1996) and Koiso (Recent topics in differential and analytic geometry. Advanced studies in pure mathematics, Boston, 1990). In this paper, we show that lens space \(L(k\, ;1)(r)\) with radius r embedded in \(N_{k}^{n}\) is a self-similar solution. We also prove that there exists a pair of critical radii \(r_{1}<r_{2}\), which satisfies the following. The lens space \(L(k\, ;1)(r)\) is a self-shrinker if \(r<r_{2}\) and self-expander if \(r_{2}<r\), and the Ricci-mean curvature flow emanating from \(L(k\, ;1)(r)\) collapses to the 0-section of \(\pi \) if \(r<r_{1}\) and to the \(\infty \)-section of \(\pi \) if \(r_{1}<r\). This paper gives explicit examples of Ricci-mean curvature flows.     

On homogeneous hypersurfaces in $${\mathbb {C}}^3$$

We consider a family \(M_t^n\), with \(n\geqslant 2\), \(t>1\), of real hypersurfaces in a complex affine n-dimensional quadric arising in connection with the classification of homogeneous compact simply connected real-analytic hypersurfaces in  \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) due to Morimoto and Nagano. To finalize their classification, one needs to resolve the problem of the embeddability of \(M_t^n\) in  \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) for \(n=3,7\). In our earlier article we showed that \(M_t^7\) is not embeddable in  \({\mathbb {C}}^7\) for every t and that \(M_t^3\) is embeddable in  \({\mathbb {C}}^3\) for all \(1<t<1+10^{-6}\). In the present paper, we improve on the latter result by showing that the embeddability of \(M_t^3\) in fact takes place for \(1<t<\sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})/3}\). This is achieved by analyzing the explicit totally real embedding of the sphere \(S^3\) in \({\mathbb {C}}^3\) constructed by Ahern and Rudin. For \(t\geqslant {\sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})/3}}\), the problem of the embeddability of \(M_t^3\) remains open.     

On Weighted Average Interpolation with Cardinal Splines

Given a sequence of data \(\{ y_{n} \} _{n \in \mathbb{Z}}\) with polynomial growth and an odd number \(d\), Schoenberg proved that there exists a unique cardinal spline \(f\) of degree \(d\) with polynomial growth such that \(f ( n ) =y_{n}\) for all \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\). In this work, we show that this result also holds if we consider weighted average data \(f\ast h ( n ) =y_{n}\), whenever the average function \(h\) satisfies some light conditions. In particular, the interpolation result is valid if we consider cell-average data \(\int_{n-a}^{n+a}f ( x ) dx=y_{n}\) with \(0< a\leq 1/2\). The case of even degree \(d\) is also studied.     

Closures of Hardy and Hardy–Sobolev Spaces in the Bloch Type Space on the Unit Ball

For \(0<\alpha <\infty \), \(0<p<\infty \) and \(0<s<\infty \), we characterize the closures in the \(\alpha \)-Bloch norm of \(\alpha \)-Bloch functions that are in a Hardy space \(H^p\) and in a Hardy–Sobolev space \(H^p_s\) on the unit ball of \(\mathbb {C}^n\).     

Qualitative properties of generalized principal eigenvalues for superquadratic viscous Hamilton–Jacobi equations

This paper is concerned with the ergodic problem for superquadratic viscous Hamilton–Jacobi equations with exponent \(m>2\). We prove that the generalized principal eigenvalue of the equation converges to a constant as \(m\rightarrow \infty \), and that the limit coincides with the generalized principal eigenvalue of an ergodic problem with gradient constraint. We also investigate some qualitative properties of the generalized principal eigenvalue with respect to a perturbation of the potential function. It turns out that different situations take place according to \(m=2\), \(2<m<\infty \), and the limiting case \(m=\infty \).     

Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities for differential forms in Heisenberg groups

The \(L^1\)-Sobolev inequality states that for compactly supported functions u on the Euclidean n-space, the \(L^{n/(n-1)}\)-norm of a compactly supported function is controlled by the \(L^1\)-norm of its gradient. The generalization to differential forms (due to Lanzani and Stein and Bourgain and Brezis) is recent, and states that a the \(L^{n/(n-1)}\)-norm of a compactly supported differential h-form is controlled by the \(L^1\)-norm of its exterior differential du and its exterior codifferential \(\delta u\) (in special cases the \(L^1\)-norm must be replaced by the \(\mathcal H^1\)-Hardy norm). We shall extend this result to Heisenberg groups in the framework of an appropriate complex of differential forms.     

A Distributional Equality for Suprema of Spectrally Positive Lévy Processes

Let \(Y\) be a spectrally positive Lévy process with \({\mathbb {E}}Y_1\!<\!0\) and \(C\) an independent subordinator with finite expectation, and let \(X\!=\!Y\!+\!C\). A curious distributional equality proved in Huzak et al. (Ann Appl Probab 14:1278–1397, 2004) states that if \({\mathbb {E}}X_1<0\), then \(\sup _{0\le t <\infty }Y_t\) and the supremum of \(X\) just before the first time its new supremum is reached by a jump of \(C\) have the same distribution. In this paper, we give an alternative proof of an extension of this result and offer an explanation why it is true.     

The First Passage Time Problem Over a Moving Boundary for Asymptotically Stable Lévy Processes

We study the asymptotic tail behaviour of the first passage time over a moving boundary for asymptotically \(\alpha \)-stable Lévy processes with \(\alpha <1\). Our main result states that if the left tail of the Lévy measure is regularly varying with index \(- \alpha \), and the moving boundary is equal to \(1 - t^{\gamma }\) for some \(\gamma <1/\alpha \), then the probability that the process stays below the moving boundary has the same asymptotic polynomial order as in the case of a constant boundary. The same is true for the increasing boundary \(1 + t^{\gamma }\) with \(\gamma <1/\alpha \) under the assumption of a regularly varying right tail with index \(-\alpha \).     

Stochastic Ordering of Infinite Geometric Galton–Watson Trees

We consider Galton–Watson trees with Geom\((p)\) offspring distribution. We let \(T_{\infty }(p)\) denote such a tree conditioned on being infinite. We prove that for any \(1/2\le p_1 <p_2 \le 1\), there exists a coupling between \(T_{\infty }(p_1)\) and \(T_{\infty }(p_2)\) such that \({\mathbb {P}}(T_{\infty }(p_1) \subseteq T_{\infty }(p_2))=1\).     

Rational Approximation of Functions in Hardy Spaces

Subsequent to our recent work on Fourier spectrum characterization of Hardy spaces \(H^p({\mathbb {R}})\) for the index range \(1\le p\le \infty ,\) in this paper we prove further results on rational Approximation, integral representation and Fourier spectrum characterization of functions for the Hardy spaces \(H^p({\mathbb {R}}), 0 < p\le \infty ,\) with particular interest in the index range \( 0< p \le 1.\) We show that the set of rational functions in \( H^p({\mathbb {C}}_{+1}) \) with the single pole \(-i\) is dense in \( H^p({\mathbb {C}}_{+1}) \) for \(0<p<\infty .\) Secondly, for \(0<p<1\), through rational function approximation we show that any function f in \(L^p({\mathbb {R}})\) can be decomposed into a sum \(g+h\), where g and h are, in the \(L^p({\mathbb {R}})\) convergence sense, the non-tangential boundary limits of functions in, respectively, \( H^p({\mathbb {C}}_{+1})\) and \(H^{p}({\mathbb {C}}_{-1}),\) where \(H^p({\mathbb {C}}_k)\ (k=\pm 1) \) are the Hardy spaces in the half plane \( {\mathbb {C}}_k=\{z=x+iy: ky>0\}\). We give Laplace integral representation formulas for functions in the Hardy spaces \(H^p,\) \(0<p\le 2.\) Besides one in the integral representation formula we give an alternative version of Fourier spectrum characterization for functions in the boundary Hardy spaces \(H^p\) for \(0<p\le 1\).     

Diophantine quintuples containing triples of the first kind

We consider Diophantine quintuples \(\{a, b, c, d, e\}\), sets of integers with \(a<b<c<d<e\) the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. Triples of the first kind are sets \(\{A, B, C\}\) with \(C\ge B^{5}\). We show that there are no Diophantine quintuples \(\{a, b, c, d, e\}\) such that \(\{a, b, d\}\) is a triple of the first kind.     

Central Limit Theorem and Diophantine Approximations

Let \(F_n\) denote the distribution function of the normalized sum \(Z_n = (X_1 + \cdots + X_n)/(\sigma \sqrt{n})\) of i.i.d. random variables with finite fourth absolute moment. In this paper, polynomial rates of convergence of \(F_n\) to the normal law with respect to the Kolmogorov distance, as well as polynomial approximations of \(F_n\) by the Edgeworth corrections (modulo logarithmically growing factors in n), are given in terms of the characteristic function of \(X_1\). Particular cases of the problem are discussed in connection with Diophantine approximations.     

On $$L^p$$-Boundedness of Pseudo-Differential Operators of Sjöstrand’s Class

We extended the known result that symbols from modulation spaces \(M^{\infty ,1}(\mathbb {R}^{2n})\), also known as the Sjöstrand’s class, produce bounded operators in \(L^2(\mathbb {R}^n)\), to general \(L^p\) boundedness at the cost of loss of derivatives. Indeed, we showed that pseudo-differential operators acting from \(L^p\)-Sobolev spaces \(L^p_s(\mathbb {R}^n)\) to \(L^p(\mathbb {R}^n)\) spaces with symbols from the modulation space \(M^{\infty ,1}(\mathbb {R}^{2n})\) are bounded, whenever \(s\ge n|1/p-1/2|.\) This estimate is sharp for all \(1< p<\infty \).     

The $$$$-Affine Caacity

In this paper, the \(p\)-affine capacity is introduced for \(1<p<n\) and then developed to discover the upper and lower isocapacitary inequalities that strengthen optimally both the Maz’ya \(p\)-isocapacitary inequality and the Lutwak–Yang–Zhang \(L_p\) affine isoperimetric inequality over the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \({\mathbb {R}}^{n}\).     

The Sharp Weighted Bound for Multilinear Maximal Functions and Calderón–Zygmund Operators

We investigate the weighted bounds for multilinear maximal functions and Calderón–Zygmund operators from \(L^{p_1}(w_1)\times \cdots \times L^{p_m}(w_m)\) to \(L^{p}(v_{\vec {w}})\), where \(1<p_1,\cdots ,p_m<\infty \) with \(1/{p_1}+\cdots +1/{p_m}=1/p\) and \(\vec {w}\) is a multiple \(A_{\vec {P}}\) weight. We prove the sharp bound for the multilinear maximal function for all such \(p_1,\ldots , p_m\) and prove the sharp bound for \(m\)-linear Calderón–Zymund operators when \(p\ge 1\).     

Cover-free codes and separating system codes

A set \(T\subset {GF(q)}\), \(q=p^h\) is a super-Vandermonde set if \(\sum _{y\in T} y^k=0\) for \(0< k <|T|\). We determine the structure of super-Vandermonde sets of size \(p+1\) (almost small) and size \(q/p-1\) (almost large).
