In this note, we prove the sharp Davies-Gaffney-Grigor’yan lemma for minimal heat kernels on graphs.

We study the Newton polygon jumping locus of a Mumford family in char p. Our main result says that, under a mild assumption on p, the jumping locus consists of only supersingular points and its cardinality is equal to (p^r − 1)(g − 1), where r is the degree of the defining field of the base curve of a Mumford family in char p and g is the genus of the curve. The underlying technique is the p-adic Hodge theory.

For each natural odd number n ≥ 3, we exhibit a maximal family of n-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifolds whose Yukawa coupling length is 1. As a consequence, Shafarevich’s conjecture holds true for these families. Moreover, it follows from Deligne and Mostow (Publ. Math. IHÉS, 63:5–89, 1986) and Mostow (Publ. Math. IHÉS, 63:91–106, 1986; J. Am. Math. Soc., 1(3):555–586, 1988) that, for n = 3, it can be partially compactified to a Shimura family of ball type, and for n = 5,9, there is a sub Q-PVHS of the family uniformizing a Zariski open subset of an arithmetic ball quotient

We show that $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^2)$ provided that $s>1/3$. This result is sharp up to the endpoint. The proof uses polynomial partitioning and decoupling.

Given a compact Riemannian manifold $M$, we consider a warped product manifold $\bar M = I \times_h M$, where $I$ is an open interval in $\Bbb R$. For a positive function $\psi$ defined on $\bar M$, we generalize the arguments in \cite{GRW2015} and \cite{RW16}, to obtain the curvature estimates for Hessian equations $\sigma_k(\kappa)=\psi(V,\nu(V))$. We also obtain some existence results for the starshaped compact hypersurface $\Sigma$ satisfying the above equation with various assumptions.
