A function$G$in a Bergman space$A$^{$p$}, 0<$p$<∞, in the unit disk$D$is called$A$^{$p$}-inner if |$G$|^{$p$}−1 annihilates all bounded harmonic functions in$D$. Extending a recent result by Hedenmalm for$p$=2, we show (Thm. 2) that the unique compactly-supported solution Φ of the problem $$\Delta \Phi = \chi _D (|G|^p - 1),$$ where χ_{$D$}denotes the characteristic function of$D$and$G$is an arbitrary$A$^{$p$}-inner function, is continuous in$C$, and, moreover, has a vanishing normal derivative in a weak sense on the unit circle. This allows us to extend all of Hedenmalm's results concerning the invariant subspaces in the Bergman space$A$^{2}to a general$A$^{$p$}-setting.

We describe the behavior of certain strictly plurisubharmonic functions near some real hypersurfaces in ℂ^{$n$},$n$≥3. Given a hypersurface we study continuous plurisubharmonic functions which are zero on the hypersurface and have Monge–Ampère mass greater than one in a one-sided neighborhood of the hypersurface. If we can find complex curves which have sufficiently high contact order with the hypersurface then the plurisubharmonic functions we study cannot be globally Lipschitz in the one-sided neighborhood.

The optimal mass transportation problem, proposed by Monge, is dominated by the Monge-Ampere equation. In general, as the Monge-Ampere equation is highly non-linear, this type of partial dierential equations is beyond the solving ability of a conventional nite element method. This diculty led Gu et al. alternatively to the discrete optimal mass transportation problem. They developed variational principles for this problem and reported the calculation for the optimal mapping, based on theorem that among all possible cell decompositions, with constrained measures, the trans- portation cost of the discrete mapping from cells to the corresponding discrete points is minimized by the decomposition induced by a power Voronoi diagram. Their research inspired us to consider a similar discrete optimal mass transportation problem. Here we replace the L2 Euclidean distance by the length of the shortest path connecting two points on a line network. To solve the optimal trans- portation problem on a line network, we study a type of Voronoi diagram on undirected and connected networks and propose an elegant construction algorithm. We further consider weighted distances in a network and develop a method to compute the centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) for a network. By using real geographic data, the method proposed is proved ecient and eective in several practical applications, including charging station distribution in a trac network, and trash can distribution in a park.

String theory contains solutions with SL(2,R)_R x U(1)_L-invariant warped AdS3 (WAdS3) factors arising as continuous deformations of ordinary AdS3 factors. We propose that some of these are holographically dual to the IR limits of nonlocal dipole-deformed 2D D-brane gauge theories, referred to as "dipole CFTs". Neither the bulk nor boundary theories are currently well-understood, and consequences of the proposed duality for both sides is investigated. The bulk entropy-area law suggests that dipole CFTs have (at large N) a high-energy density of states which does not depend on the deformation parameter. Putting the boundary theory on a spatial circle leads to closed timelike curves in the bulk, suggesting a relation of the latter to dipole-type nonlocality.
