In this note, we prove the sharp DaviesGaffneyGrigoryan Lemma for minimal heat kernels on graphs.

The CD inequalities are introduced to imply the gradient estimate of Laplace operator on graphs. This article is based on the unbounded Laplacians, and finally concludes some equivalent properties of the CD(K,1) and CD(K,n).

We show that the product in the quantum K-ring of a generalized flag manifold G/P involves only finitely many powers of the Novikov variables. In contrast to previous approaches to this finiteness question, we exploit the finite difference module structure of quantum K-theory. At the core of the proof is a bound on the asymptotic growth of the J-function, which in turn comes from an analysis of the singularities of the zastava spaces studied in geometric representation theory. An appendix by H. Iritani establishes the equivalence between finiteness and a quadratic growth condition on certain shift operators.

We study correlation bounds under pairwise independent distributions for functions with no large Fourier coefficients. Functions in which all Fourier coefficients are bounded by$δ$are called$δ$-$uniform$. The search for such bounds is motivated by their potential applicability to hardness of approximation, derandomization, and additive combinatorics.
