We give several characterizations of those sequences of holomorphic self-maps {φ_{$n$}}_{$n$≥1}of the unit disk for which there exists a function$F$in the unit ball $\mathcal{B}=\{f\in H^{\infty}: \|f\|_\infty\leq1\}$ of$H$^{∞}such that the orbit {$F$∘φ_{$n$}:$n$∈ℕ} is locally uniformly dense in $\mathcal{B}$ . Such a function$F$is said to be a $\mathcal{B}$ -universal function. One of our conditions is stated in terms of the hyperbolic derivatives of the functions φ_{$n$}. As a consequence we will see that if φ_{$n$}is the$n$th iterate of a map φ of $\mathbb{D}$ into $\mathbb{D}$ , then {φ_{$n$}}_{$n$≥1}admits a $\mathcal{B}$ -universal function if and only if φ is a parabolic or hyperbolic automorphism of $\mathbb{D}$ . We show that whenever there exists a $\mathcal{B}$ -universal function, then this function can be chosen to be a Blaschke product. Further, if there is a $\mathcal{B}$ -universal function, we show that there exist uniformly closed subspaces consisting entirely of universal functions.

We present new results concerning the solvability, or lack of thereof, in the Cauchy problem for the $\bar\partial$ operator with initial values assigned on a weakly pseudoconvex hypersurface, and provide illustrative examples.

So-called exceptional isomorphisms of low-dimensional spinor groups are directly worked out for the terminal two cases of rank five and six (in the sense of quadratic modules) at the level of special Clifford groups with norm characters as group schemes over a ring. Explicit formulas of identifications are available on big cells, restrictions to which being justified by scheme theory.

We consider Fourier integral operators with symbols in modulation spaces and non-smooth phase functions whose second orders of derivatives belong to certain types of modulation space. We prove continuity and Schatten–von Neumann properties of such operators when acting on$L$^{2}.

We are studying the Diophantine exponent μ_{$n$,$l$}defined for integers 1≤$l$<$n$and a vector α∈ℝ^{$n$}by letting $$\mu_{n,l}=\sup\{\mu\geq0: 0 < \Vert\underline{x}\cdot\alpha\Vert<H(\underline{x})^{-\mu}\ \text{for infinitely many}\ \underline{x}\in\mathcal{C}_{n,l}\cap\mathbb{Z}^n\},$$ where $\cdot$ is the scalar product, $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the distance to the nearest integer and $\mathcal{C}_{n,l}$ is the generalised cone consisting of all vectors with the height attained among the first$l$coordinates. We show that the exponent takes all values in the interval [$l$+1,∞), with the value$n$attained for almost all α. We calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set of vectors α with μ_{$n$,$l$}(α)=μ for μ≥$n$. Finally, letting$w$_{$n$}denote the exponent obtained by removing the restrictions on $\underline{x}$ , we show that there are vectors α for which the gaps in the increasing sequence μ_{$n$,1}(α)≤...≤μ_{$n$,$n$-1}(α)≤$w$_{$n$}(α) can be chosen to be arbitrary.
