Abstract

We determine the optimal order of the scaling parameter in the metric cotype $2$ inequality for complete Alexandrov spaces of nonnegative curvature. It grows linearly with the dimension $n$ of the discrete torus. This answers Question 17 of Eskenazis, Mendel, and Naor. In their sign-vector normalization on $\bigl(\mathbb{Z}/(2m\mathbb{Z})\bigr)^n$, the square of the optimal metric cotype $2$ constant for this class lies between $\max\{1,n/m\}$ and $e\lceil n/m\rceil$ for every dyadic $m\geq 2$. The upper bound follows from a dyadic Bernoulli-thinning argument using only the Lang--Schroeder--Sturm inequality. Snowflake universality of the fixed Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ gives the $n/m$ lower bound.

On the Asymptotics of the Volume of Hitchin Moduli Spaces

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq2$, and let $\M$ be the moduli space of rank-two trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree. For the normalization of the Hitchin metric used in this paper, we prove that the volume of geodesic ball in the Hitchin moduli space is given by $$ \Vol_{g...

Averaged derivatives and reverse inequalities in quasiregular Bergman spaces

We study weighted Bergman spaces of quasiregular mappings on the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with weight $(1-|x|)^\alpha$, $\alpha>-1$. For every fixed distortion bound $K\ge1$ and every $p>0$, we characterize Bergman integrability by averaged derivatives. We also give geometric conditions under which integration over...

Unbounded normalized scalar curvature integrals in dimension four

We give counterexamples to Yau's question on normalized scalar curvature integrals in every dimension $n\geq4$. For each such $n$, there exists a smooth complete Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and a pole such that \[ \lim_{R\to\infty}R^{2-n}\int_{B_q(R)}\mathrm{Scal}_g\,\mathrm...

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...

Gromov hyperbolicity, finite type, and subellipticity on $\mathbb{C}$-convex domains

In this article, we study three properties of a bounded $\mathbb{C}$-convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n$, $n \geq 2$, with smooth boundary, namely Gromov hyperbolicity of its Kobayashi distance, finiteness of the D'Angelo type of $\partial \Omega$, and the existence of a subelliptic estimate for the $\bar{\part...

The Zygmund conjecture and Rey's exponential integrability conjecture

We prove the Zygmund conjecture in all parameters: the maximal operator associated with products of cubes with side lengths $(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1},\phi(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1}))$, where $\phi$ is any positive coordinatewise nondecreasing function, satisfies the weak $L(\log L)^{m-2}$ estimate for every $m\geq3$. The estimate...
