We consider the discrete Laplacian $\Delta$ on the cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and deduce estimates on the group $e^{i t \Delta}$ and the resolvent $(\Delta-z)^{-1}$, weighted by $\ell^q (\mathbb{Z}^d)$-weights for suitable $q \geqslant 2$. We apply the obtained results to discrete Schrödinger operators in dimension $d \geqslant 3$ with potentials from $\ell^p (\mathbb{Z}^d)$ with suitable $p \geqslant1$.

The geometric descriptions of the (essential) spectra of Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols are among the most beautiful results about Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces Hp with 1<p<∞. In the Hardy space H1, the essential spectra of Toeplitz operators are known for continuous symbols and symbols in the Douglas algebra C+H∞. It is natural to ask whether the theory for piecewise continuous symbols can also be extended to H1. We answer this question in the negative and show in particular that the Toeplitz operator is never bounded on H1 if its symbol has a jump discontinuity.

We study differentiability properties of a potential of the type K⋆μ, where μ is a finite Radon measure in RN and the kernel K satisfies |∇jK(x)|≤C|x|−(N−1+j),j=0,1,2. We introduce a notion of differentiability in the capacity sense, where capacity is classical capacity in the de la Vallée Poussin sense associated with the kernel |x|−(N−1). We require that the first order remainder at a point is small when measured by means of a normalized weak capacity “norm” in balls of small radii centered at the point. This implies weak LN/(N−1) differentiability and thus Lp differentiability in the Calderón–Zygmund sense for 1≤p<N/(N−1). We show that K⋆μ is a.e. differentiable in the capacity sense, thus strengthening a recent result by Ambrosio, Ponce and Rodiac. We also present an alternative proof of a quantitative theorem of the authors just mentioned, giving pointwise Lipschitz estimates for K⋆μ. As an application, we study level sets of newtonian potentials of finite Radon measures.

We give a partial converse to [8, Theorem 1.3] (as a resolution of [2, Problem 8.4] for the quasiconformal Q-composition) for Q0<α<2−1(Rn≥2), and yet demonstrate that if f:R2→R2 is a homeomorphism then the boundedness of u↦u∘f on Q2−1<α<1(R2)⊂BMO(R2) yields the quasiconformality of f.

In a recent series of articles, the authors have studied the transition behavior of partial Bergman kernels $\Pi_{k, [E_1, E_2]} (z,w)$ and the associated DOS (density of states) $\Pi_{k, [E_1, E_2]} (z)$ across the interface $\mathcal{C}$ between the allowed and forbidden regions. Partial Bergman kernels are Toeplitz Hamiltonians quantizing Morse functions $H : M \to \mathbb{R}$ on a Kähler manifold. The allowed region is $H^{-1} ([E_1, E_2])$ and the interface $\mathcal{C}$ is its boundary. In prior articles it was assumed that the endpoints $E_j$ were regular values of $H$. This article completes the series by giving parallel results when an endpoint is a critical value of $H$. In place of the Erf scaling asymptotics in a $k^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ tube around $\mathcal{C}$ for regular interfaces, one obtains $\delta$-asymptotics in $k^{-\frac{1}{4}}$ tubes around singular points of a critical interface. In $k^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ tubes, the transition law is given by the osculating metaplectic propagator.

We look for bounded periodic solutions for a parametric fractional problem involving a continuous nonlinearity with subcritical growth. By using a variant of Caffarelli and Silvestre extension method adapted to the periodic case and variational tools we prove the existence of at least three bounded periodic solutions when the parameter varies in an appropriate range.

We define tautological relations for the moduli space of stable maps to a target variety. Using the double ramification cycle formula for target varieties of Janda–Pandharipande–Pixton–Zvonkine, we construct non-trivial tautological relations parallel to Pixton’s double ramification cycle relations for the moduli of curves. Examples and applications are discussed.

Let G={h_t|t∈ℝ} be a continuous flow on a connected n-manifold M. The flow G is said to be strongly reversible by an involution τ if h_{−t}=τh_tτ for all t∈ℝ, and it is said to be periodic if h_s= identity for some s∈ℝ^∗. A closed subset K of M is called a global section for G if every orbit G(x) intersects K in exactly one point. In this paper, we study how the two properties “strongly reversible” and “has a global section” are related. In particular, we show that if G is periodic and strongly reversible by a reflection, then G has a global section.

We study L^p inequalities that sharpen the triangle inequality for sums of N functions in L^p.

We prove that the locus of Prym curves (C,η) of genus g≥5 for which the Prym-canonical system |ωC(η)| is base point free but the Prym-canonical map is not an embedding is irreducible and unirational of dimension 2g+1.
