In this paper we consider the problem of the non-empty intersection of exposed faces in a Banach space. We find a sufficient condition to assure that the non-empty intersection of exposed faces is an exposed face. This condition involves the concept of$inner point$. Finally, we also prove that every minimal face of the unit ball must be an extreme point and show that this is not the case at all for minimal exposed faces since we prove that every Banach space with dimension greater than or equal to 2 can be equivalently renormed to have a non-singleton, minimal exposed face.

The face numbers of simplicial complexes without missing faces of dimension larger than$i$are studied. It is shown that among all such ($d$−1)-dimensional complexes with non-vanishing top homology, a certain polytopal sphere has the componentwise minimal$f$-vector; and moreover, among all such 2-Cohen–Macaulay (2-CM) complexes, the same sphere has the componentwise minimal$h$-vector. It is also verified that the$l$-skeleton of a flag ($d$−1)-dimensional 2-CM complex is 2($d$−$l$)-CM, while the$l$-skeleton of a flag piecewise linear ($d$−1)-sphere is 2($d$−$l$)-homotopy CM. In addition, tight lower bounds on the face numbers of 2-CM balanced complexes in terms of their dimension and the number of vertices are established.

We consider the Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator$i$$∂$_{$t$}$u$=$Hu$, where$H$=−Δ+|$x$|^{2}, with initial data in the Hermite–Sobolev space$H$^{−$s$/2}$L$^{2}(ℝ^{$n$}). We obtain smoothing and maximal estimates and apply these to perturbations of the equation and almost everywhere convergence problems.

We prove that every homomorphism $\mathcal{O}^{E}_{\zeta}\rightarrow\mathcal{O}^{F}_{\zeta}$ , with$E$and$F$Banach spaces and ζ∈ℂ^{$m$}, is induced by a $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}(E,F)$ -valued holomorphic germ, provided that 1≤$m$<∞. A similar structure theorem is obtained for the homomorphisms of type $\mathcal{O}^{E}_{\zeta}\rightarrow\mathcal{S}_{\zeta}$ , where $\mathcal{S}_{\zeta}$ is a stalk of a coherent sheaf of positive depth. We later extend these results to sheaf homomorphisms, obtaining a condition on coherent sheaves which guarantees the sheaf to be equipped with a unique analytic structure in the sense of Lempert–Patyi.

We study the asymptotic equidistribution of points with discrete energy close to Robin’s constant of a compact set in the plane. Our main tools are the energy estimates from potential theory. We also consider the quantitative aspects of this equidistribution. Applications include estimates of growth for the Fekete and Leja polynomials associated with large classes of compact sets, convergence rates of the discrete energy approximations to Robin’s constant, and problems on the means of zeros of polynomials with integer coefficients.
