Abstract

We study real multilinear forms with coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$ on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Every trilinear sign form on $\ell_2^r\times\ell_2^n\times\ell_2^n$ has norm at least $\sqrt n$. Writing $K_{r,n}$ for the least norm divided by $\sqrt n$, we prove that $K_{r,n}=1$ exactly when a Hadamard matrix of order $n$ exists and $r\le\rho(n)$, where $\rho$ is the Hurwitz--Radon function. If equality fails, we obtain an explicit gap above $\sqrt n$. We also prove two asymptotic results. If $1\le m_n\le n$ and $\limsup r_n/\log_2 n<2$, there are sign forms on $\ell_2^{r_n}\times\ell_2^{m_n}\times\ell_2^n$ with norm $(1+o(1))\sqrt n$. In the square case, if $r\ge2\lceil\log_2(8n)\rceil$, then $K_{r,n}-1\ge c(1+\log_2 n)^{-4}$. We also prove a fourth-moment estimate in every fixed multilinear order, characterize equality, and give exact and asymptotic constructions.

Symmetric Kahane--Salem--Zygmund Inequalities and the Supremum Norm

The Kahane--Salem--Zygmund inequality provides unimodular $m$-linear forms with small supremum norm. We consider its dimension-free symmetric constant $C_m^{\mathrm{sym}}$ over the real scalar field, defined by the requirement that, for every $n$, some real symmetric unimodular $m$-linear form $A:(\ell_\infty^n)^m\to\m...

The S-matrix conjecture

Harwit and Sloane conjectured that every nonsingular entrywise-nonnegative matrix $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ satisfies $\|A^{-1}\|_F\ge 2n(n+1)^{-1}\|A\|_{\max}^{-1}$, with equality precisely for positive multiples of $S$-matrices. Cheng proved the conjecture in odd dimensions, while Frankel and Urschel proved the eve...

Improved sup-norm bounds for locally symmetric spaces

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type, of dimension $n$ and rank $r$, and let $Y=\Gamma\backslash X$. Sarnak's local bound for an $L^2$-normalized spherical joint eigenfunction with regular tempered parameter of size $T$ is $\|\phi\|_\infty\ll T^{(n-r)/2}$. We prove $o(T^{(n-r)/2})$ locally uniformly on e...

Sharp Strichartz estimates on quadratic irrational tori

We prove sharp $L^{4}$ Strichartz estimates for two-dimensional periodic Schr\"{o}dinger flows with integral diagonal symbols $ak_{1}^2+bk_2^2$ where $a,b \in \mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}$. The estimates exhibit a sharp arithmetic dichotomy according to whether $-ab$ is a square: for frequencies bounded by $N$, the optima...

A Remark on H\"ormander Multipliers on Dunkl Hardy Spaces

Let $\mathcal R$ be a normalized root system in $\mathbb R^N$ with a nonnegative multiplicity function $k$, and let $\mathcal F$ be the associated Dunkl transform. We prove a H\"ormander multiplier theorem on the Hardy spaces $H^p_{\mathrm{Dunkl}}$, $0<p\le1$, defined by conical Littlewood--Paley square functions. Let...

Dimensions of Bedford-McMullen type sets in $\mathbb Z^2$

We study forward orbits in $\mathbb Z^2$ generated by the expanding affine maps $(x,y)\mapsto(mx+i,ny+j)$, where $m\ge n\ge2$ are integers and $(i,j)$ ranges over a nonempty digit set $\Lambda\subseteq\{0,\ldots,m-1\}\times\{0,\ldots,n-1\}$. We obtain explicit formulae for the mass, Beurling, discrete packing, and Asso...
