Abstract

For $d \geq 2$, $p \geq 1$ and $\epsilon>0$, let $N_p(d,\epsilon)$ be the smallest integer $N$ such that for every integer $n$ and every $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$, there exists a matrix $\Phi\in\mathbb{R}^{N\times n}$ satisfying $(1-\epsilon)\lVert Ax\rVert_p\leq \lVert\Phi A x\rVert_p\leq (1+\epsilon)\lVert Ax\rVert_p$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$. For every constant $p\geq 1$ with $p\not\in 2\mathbb{Z}$, when $d\gtrsim_p \log(1/\epsilon)$, the bound \[ N_p(d,\epsilon) \gtrsim_{p} \frac{d}{\epsilon^2 \operatorname{polylog}(d/\epsilon)} \] is established. This improves the previous lower bound $\Omega(1/(\epsilon^2\operatorname{polylog}(1/\epsilon)))$ due to Li et al. (SICOMP 2021) and is optimal up to logarithmic factors for $1\leq p<2$. The central technical idea originated from ChatGPT 5.6 Sol.

Sharp $\ell^p$-Improving Estimates for Fixed-Radius Discrete Spherical Averages

Let $d\geq 4$ and let $R>0$. When $d=4$, assume that $R^2\in\mathbb{N}\setminus 4\mathbb{N}$; when $d\geq 5$, let $R^2\in\mathbb{N}$ be arbitrary. We prove the fixed-radius estimate $$\|A_R f\|_{\ell^{p'}(\mathbb{Z}^d)}\leq C_{d,p,\varepsilon}R^{-d(2/p-1)+\varepsilon}\|f\|_{\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)}$$ for $(d+2)/d\leq p\le...

Asymptotic Behavior of Radial Solutions to Singular $p$-Laplacian Equations as $p\to1$

We study the singular limit $p \downarrow 1$ for positive radial entire solutions $u_p$ of $$ -\Delta_p u_p=F_p\left(|x|, u_p,\left|\nabla u_p\right|\right) u_p^{-\beta_p} \quad \text { in } \mathbb{R}^n, $$ where $n \geq 2,1<p<\min \{2, \sqrt{n}\}$, and $0 \leq \beta_p \leq p-1$. Assuming that $$ F_p \rightarrow F_1 \...

A Full Characterization of the Dirichlet Carleson embedding $\operatorname{id}: \mathcal D_{p-1}^p \to L^p(\mu)$ for $p>2$

In this paper, we obtain a full characterization of the finite positive Borel measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb D$ for which the embedding $$ \operatorname{id}:\mathcal D_{p-1}^p\longrightarrow L^p(\mu),\qquad p>2, $$ is bounded. More precisely, for any dyadic system $\mathcal D$ on $\mathbb T$, we prove that this embedding i...

Convex-Hull Instability of the $\gamma_2$-Functional in $L^p$

For every $2<p<\infty$ and every integer $r\ge2$, we construct a finite set $T\subseteq S_{L^p[0,1]}$ such that $|T|\le2^{Cr^2}$, $\gamma_2(T)\le Cr$, and $\gamma_2(\conv T)\ge c r^{3/2-1/p}$. Consequently, for every fixed $p>2$, both estimates in Talagrand's Research Problem~2.11.3 fail in each of the spaces $L^p[0,1]...

Zero density estimates for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ automorphic $L$-functions

We prove zero density estimates for $L$-functions of cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$. We show that $N_\pi(\sigma, T) \ll T^{\frac{5}{2}(1 - \sigma) + o(1)}$, where $N_\pi(\sigma, T)$ denotes the number of zeros $\rho = \beta + i\gamma$ of $L(s,\pi)$ with $\beta \ge...

On the Frankl--Tokushige conjecture and almost complete $r$-cross $t$-intersection theorems for vector spaces

Let $r\geq3$ and $k_1\geq k_2\geq\cdots\geq k_r\geq t$. Let $\mathcal{F}_1,\mathcal{F}_2,\ldots,\mathcal{F}_r$ be families of subspaces, of respective dimensions $k_1,k_2,\ldots,k_r$, in an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The $r$ families are called $r$-cross $t$-intersecting if $\dim...
