Alessandro Figà-Talamanca (1938-2023) was an influential Italian mathematician, scientific leader of the Italian group of harmonic analysis for many years. Since the late 1970ies, his interest focussed on harmonic analysis on free groups and trees. In the later years of his scientific work he became also interested in diffusion...
The authors recently introduced a new construction of a knot as an extended symmetric union of a knot with a single tangle region. In this paper, we generalize the construction to include multiple tangle regions. The constructed knot $K$ with a partial knot $\hat{K}$ and multiple tangle regions satisfies the following two properties:...
We study an optimization problem in which the objective is given as a sum of logarithmic-polynomial functions. This formulation is motivated by statistical estimation principles such as maximum likelihood estimation, and by loss functions including cross-entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence. We propose a hierarchy of moment...
In combinatorial optimization, ordinal costs can be used to model the quality of elements whenever numerical values are not available. When considering, for example, routing problems for cyclists, the safety of a street can be ranked in ordered categories like safe (separate bike lane), medium safe (street with a bike lane) and unsafe...
In this paper, we establish Liouville-type theorems for the steady compressible Navier-Stokes system. Assuming a smooth solution \(u \in L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)\), \(3 \le p \le \frac{9}{2}\), with bounded density, one obtains \(u \equiv0\). This generalizes the result of Li-Yu \cite{Li-Yu} by removing the Dirichlet condition...
In this article, we examine an approximate version of Koldobsky-Blanco-Turnšek theorem (namely, Property P) in the space of vector-valued integrable functions. More precisely, we prove that the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces $L^p(μ,X),\;(1\leq p<\infty)$, do not have Property P under certain conditions on $μ$ and the Banach space $X$.
Let $S(n)$, for $n \in \mathbb{N}$, be the infinite-type surface of infinite genus with $n$ ends, each accumulated by genus. Although the mapping class groups of these surfaces are not countably generated,they are Polish groups and hence admit a countable topological generating set. We study minimal topological generating sets for...
Based on the recent works of Radziwill-Soundararajan and Roberts, we establish a rate of convergence in Bourgade's central limit theorem for shifted Dirichlet $L$-functions. Our results also indicate that the dependence structure in the components of a random vector could have a dramatic impact on the rate of convergence in such a...
In this paper, we determine the automorphism groups of generalized Kausz compactifications $\mathcal T_{s,p,n}$. By establishing the (semi-)positivity of the anticanonical bundles of $\mathcal T_{s,p,n}$, we also determine the automorphism groups of generalized spaces of complete collineations $\mathcal M_{s,p,n}$. The results in this...
We prove explicit rational stable splittings of equivariant complex projective spaces $\mathbb{C}P(V)$ and Grassmannians $Gr_n(V)$, for complex representations $V$. When $V$ is a sum of one-dimensional representations, both $\mathbb{C}P(V)$ and $Gr_n(V)$ are rationally a wedge of representation spheres. For general finite groups $G$...
We prove an analog of Rudolph's theorem for actions of countable amenable groups, which asserts that among invariant measures with entropy at least c on the $G$-shift $(Λ^G,σ)$, a typical measure has entropy $c$ and is Bernoulli. We also address a relative version of this theorem.
In this article, we prove that, on the diffusive time scale, condensing zero-range processes converge to a dimension-decaying diffusion process on the simplex \[ Σ= \{(x_1,\dots,x_S) : x_i \ge 0,\; \sum_{i\in S} x_i = 1\}, \] where $S$ is a finite set. This limiting diffusion has the distinctive feature of being absorbed at the...
Three points uniformly selected on the unit circle form a triangle containing a point $X$ at distance $r \in [0; 1]$ from its center with probability $P(r) = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{2 π^2}\textrm{Li}_2(r^2)$, where $\textrm{Li}_2$ is the dilogarithm function (Jeremy Tan Jie Rui, 2018). In this paper we present an alternative proof of...
Characteristic earlier results were of the form CON$(2^{\aleph_0} \to [λ]^2_{n, 2})$, with $2^{\aleph_0} $ an ex-large cardinal, in the best case the first weakly Mahlo cardinal. Characteristic new results are CON$((2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_m) + \aleph_l \to [\aleph_k]^2_{n, 2})$, for suitable $k < l < m$. So we improve in three...
Following the definition of perturbed metric space, in this paper, some fixed point theorems are established for $ F $-perturbed mappings in complete perturbed metric spaces and justify the result by counter example. Finally, an application of this theorem for the existence of a solution for the second-order boundary value problem is given.
In 1934, Ramaswami proved a number of curious translation formulae satisfied by the Riemann zeta function. Such translation formulae, in turn give the meromorphic extension of the Riemann zeta function. In 1954, Apostol extended those identities to establish a family of such similar translation formulae. In this article, we establish...
Recently, Jiang et al. \cite{JIANG2025102522} obtained several classes of Permutation Polynomial of the form $x+γ\operatorname{Tr}_q^{q^2}(h(x))$ over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^2},q=2^n$. In this paper, we find the compositional inverse of six classes of permutation polynomials of this form.
Given an (affine) integral arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the reduction of $\mathcal{A}$ modulo an arbitrary positive integer $q$ naturally yields an arrangement $\mathcal{A}_q$ in $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$. Our primary objective is to study the combinatorial aspects of the restriction $\mathcal{A}^{(B,\bm b)}$ to the solution...
Diamond open access journals charge neither readers nor authors. Despite long-standing support for this ideal within mathematics, relatively few such journals exist. This article documents the Association for Mathematical Research's experience building and operating diamond open access journals, focusing on the infrastructure, cost,...
We study nonlinear elliptic equations that arise as stationary states of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with competing singular nonlinearities. The model involves the Laplacian combined with weighted power-type terms and naturally leads to a variational formulation in a weighted Sobolev space obtained from the...
We study the 2-systole on compact Kähler surfaces of positive scalar curvature. For any such surface $(X,ω)$, we prove the sharp estimate $\min_X S(ω)\cdot\operatorname{sys}_2(ω)\le 12π$, with equality if and only if $X=\mathbb{P}^2$ and $ω$ is the Fubini-Study metric. Using the classification of positive scalar curvature Kähler...
We propose a single-loop variance-reduced acceleration framework, which relates checkpoint update probabilities to momentum parameters, for solving the composite general convex problem where the smooth part has the finite-sum structure. Under the proposed framework, the growth rate of the momentum parameter is further altered,...
Dwyer-Kan localization at pairs of quasi-isomorphisms of the category of dg Lie-Rinehart pairs $(A,M)$, where $A$ is a semi-free cdga over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and $M$ a cell complex in $A$-modules, is shown to be equivalent to that of strong homotopy Lie-Rinehart (SH LR) pairs satisfying the same cofibrancy condition....
We study fractional evolution equations driven by rational-kernel time operators with non-singular memory, including the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo operator and a generalized W-operator. These operators are characterized by Laplace symbols that do not necessarily belong to the classical Bernstein class. The analysis is carried out in the...
A constructive method is given for obtaining cospectral vertices in undirected graphs, along with an operation that preserves this construction. We prove that the construction yields cospectral vertices, as well as strongly cospectral vertices under additional conditions. Furthermore, we generalize cospectral vertices to the case of...
