Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic $0$ , with not necessarily perfect residue field of characteristic $p>0$ . We define a Faltings extension of $\mathcal {O}_K$ over $\mathbb {Z}_p$ , and we construct a Hodge-Tate filtration for abelian varieties over K by generalizing Fontaine’s construction [Fon82] where he treated the perfect residue field case.

We consider Kolmorogov operator $-\Delta +b \cdot \nabla $ with drift b in the class of form-bounded vector fields (containing vector fields having critical-order singularities). We characterize quantitative dependence of the Sobolev and Hölder regularity of solutions to the corresponding elliptic equation on the value of the form-bound of b.

The purpose of this note is to construct an example of a discrete non-abelian group G and a subset E of G, not contained in any abelian subgroup, that is a completely bounded $\Lambda (p)$ set for all $p<\infty ,$ but is neither a Leinert set nor a weak Sidon set.

By taking square lattices as a two-dimensional analogue to Beatty sequences, we are motivated to define and explore the notion of complementary lattices. In particular, we present a continuous one-parameter family of complementary lattices. This main result then yields several novel examples of complementary sequences, along with a geometric proof of the fundamental property of Beatty sequences.

We consider the problem of finding two free export/import sets $E^+$ and $E^-$ that minimize the total cost of some export/import transportation problem (with export/import taxes $g^\pm $ ), between two densities $f^+$ and $f^-$ , plus penalization terms on $E^+$ and $E^-$ . First, we prove the existence of such optimal sets under some assumptions on $f^\pm $ and $g^\pm $ . Then we study some properties of these sets such as convexity and regularity. In particular, we show that the optimal free export (resp. import) region $E^+$ (resp. $E^-$ ) has a boundary of class $C^2$ as soon as $f^+$ (resp. $f^-$ ) is continuous and $\partial E^+$ (resp. $\partial E^-$ ) is $C^{2,1}$ provided that $f^+$ (resp. $f^-$ ) is Lipschitz.

Extending a result of Mashreghi and Ransford, we prove that every complex separable infinite-dimensional Fréchet space with a continuous norm is isomorphic to a space continuously included in a space of holomorphic functions on the unit disc or the complex plane, which contains the polynomials as a dense subspace. As a consequence, we deduce the existence of nuclear Fréchet spaces of holomorphic functions without the bounded approximation.

For any $\alpha \in \mathbb {R},$ we consider the weighted Taylor shift operators $T_{\alpha }$ acting on the space of analytic functions in the unit disc given by $T_{\alpha }:H(\mathbb {D})\rightarrow H(\mathbb {D}),$

$$ \begin{align*}f(z)=\sum_{k\geq 0}a_{k}z^{k}\mapsto T_{\alpha}(f)(z)=a_1+\sum_{k\geq 1}\Big(1+\frac{1}{k}\Big)^{\alpha}a_{k+1}z^{k}.\end{align*}$$

Truncating the Fourier transform averaged by means of a generalized Hausdorff operator, we approximate functions and the adjoint to that Hausdorff operator of the given function. We find estimates for the rate of approximation in various metrics in terms of the parameter of truncation and the components of the Hausdorff operator. Explicit rates of approximation of functions and comparison with approximate identities are given in the case of continuous functions from the class $\text {Lip }\alpha $ .

For positive integers n and d > 0, let $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d)$ denote the graph whose vertices are the set of rational points $\mathbb {Q}^n$, with $u,v \in \mathbb {Q}^n$ being adjacent if and only if the Euclidean distance between u and v is equal to d. Such a graph is deemed “non-trivial” if d is actually realized as a distance between points of $\mathbb {Q}^n$. In this paper, we show that a space $\mathbb {Q}^n$ has the property that all pairs of non-trivial distance graphs $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d_1)$ and $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d_2)$ are isomorphic if and only if n is equal to 1, 2, or a multiple of 4. Along the way, we make a number of observations concerning the clique number of $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d)$.

We prove an extension of Pisier’s inequality (1986) with a dimension-independent constant for vector-valued functions whose target spaces satisfy a relaxation of the UMD property.

Let P and Q be relatively prime integers greater than 1, and let f be a real valued discretely supported function on a finite dimensional real vector space V. We prove that if $f_{P}(x)=f(Px)-f(x)$ and $f_{Q}(x)=f(Qx)-f(x)$ are both $\Lambda $ -periodic for some lattice $\Lambda \subset V$ , then so is f (up to a modification at $0$ ). This result is used to prove a theorem on the arithmetic of elliptic function fields. In the last section, we discuss the higher rank analogue of this theorem and explain why it fails in rank 2. A full discussion of the higher rank case will appear in a forthcoming work.

We show that the only way of changing the framing of a link by ambient isotopy in an oriented $3$ -manifold is when the manifold has a properly embedded non-separating $S^{2}$ . This change of framing is given by the Dirac trick, also known as the light bulb trick. The main tool we use is based on McCullough’s work on the mapping class groups of $3$ -manifolds. We also relate our results to the theory of skein modules.

By using a representation of a Lie algebra on the second Hochschild cohomology group, we construct an obstruction class to extensibility of derivations and a short exact sequence of Wells type for an abelian extension of an associative algebra.

We set up the sharp Trudinger–Moser inequality under arbitrary norms. Using this result and the $L_{p}$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality, we will provide a new proof to the sharp affine Trudinger–Moser inequalities without using the well-known affine Pólya–Szegö inequality.

Diagrammatic reducibility DR and its generalization, vertex asphericity VA, are combinatorial tools developed for detecting asphericity of a 2-complex. Here we present tests for a relative version of VA that apply to pairs of 2-complexes $(L,K)$ , where K is a subcomplex of L. We show that a relative weight test holds for injective labeled oriented trees, implying that they are VA and hence aspherical. This strengthens a result obtained by the authors in 2017 and simplifies the original proof.

Yuval Peres and Perla Sousi showed that the mixing times and average mixing times of reversible Markov chains on finite state spaces are equal up to some universal multiplicative constant. We use tools from nonstandard analysis to extend this result to reversible Markov chains on compact state spaces that satisfy the strong Feller property.

If A is a real $2n \times 2n$ positive definite matrix, then there exists a symplectic matrix M such that $M^TAM=\text {diag}(D, D),$ where D is a positive diagonal matrix with diagonal entries $d_1(A)\leqslant \cdots \leqslant d_n(A).$ We prove a maxmin principle for $d_k(A)$ akin to the classical Courant–Fisher–Weyl principle for Hermitian eigenvalues and use it to derive an analogue of the Weyl inequality $d_{i+j-1}(A+B)\geqslant d_i(A)+d_j(B).$

We study special cycles on a Shimura variety of orthogonal type over a totally real field of degree d associated with a quadratic form in $n+2$ variables whose signature is $(n,2)$ at e real places and $(n+2,0)$ at the remaining $d-e$ real places for $1\leq e <d$. Recently, these cycles were constructed by Kudla and Rosu–Yott, and they proved that the generating series of special cycles in the cohomology group is a Hilbert-Siegel modular form of half integral weight. We prove that, assuming the Beilinson–Bloch conjecture on the injectivity of the higher Abel–Jacobi map, the generating series of special cycles of codimension er in the Chow group is a Hilbert–Siegel modular form of genus r and weight $1+n/2$. Our result is a generalization of Kudla’s modularity conjecture, solved by Yuan–Zhang–Zhang unconditionally when $e=1$.

We consider the sequence of powers of a positive definite function on a discrete group. Taking inspiration from random walks on compact quantum groups, we give several examples of situations where a cut-off phenomenon occurs for this sequence, including free groups and infinite Coxeter groups. We also give examples of absence of cut-off using free groups again.

We prove that if f and g are holomorphic functions on an open connected domain, with the same moduli on two intersecting segments, then $f=g$ up to the multiplication of a unimodular constant, provided the segments make an angle that is an irrational multiple of $\pi $ . We also prove that if f and g are functions in the Nevanlinna class, and if $|f|=|g|$ on the unit circle and on a circle inside the unit disc, then $f=g$ up to the multiplication of a unimodular constant.
