Abstract

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 is new for $m>3$. Our approach is to prove Rey's recent conjecture on the exponential integrability of the overlap function $h_{\mathcal G}=\sum_{I\in\mathcal G}\mathbf{1}_I$, with exponent $1/(m-1)$, for sparse incomparable families $\mathcal G$ of $m$-parameter dyadic rectangles, $m\geq2$. The Zygmund conjecture, even in the continuous form above, follows by strengthening a reduction given by Rey.

The weak Chinburg conjecture on Mahler measures

For every negative fundamental discriminant $-f$ and every $k\geq1$, we construct a rational function $R_{f,2k}\in\mathbb{Q}(x_1,\ldots,x_{2k})$ and a constant $r_{f,2k}\in\mathbb{Q}^\times$ such that \[ m(R_{f,2k})=r_{f,2k}L'(\chi_{-f},1-2k), \] where $m$ denotes the logarithmic Mahler measure and $\chi_{-f}$ is the q...

A Counterexample to the Tang Zhang Schatten Norm Conjecture and Sharp Positive Results

For $m\geq 2$, let $c_p(m)$ be the all-dimensional best constant in $$ \left\|\sum_{k=1}^m A_k\right\|_p \leq c_p(m)\left\|\sum_{k=1}^m |A_k|\right\|_p. $$ Tang and Zhang conjectured an explicit formula for every finite $p>1$. We disprove the conjecture with two explicit real $2\times 2$ rank-one matrices at $p=3/2$. T...

Sharp Summability of Nevanlinna Defects for Finite-Lower-Order Holomorphic Curves

For a countable family of hyperplanes $H_j\subset \mathbb{P}^m$, $j\in\mathbb{N}$, in general position and a linearly nondegenerate holomorphic curve $f\colon \mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{P}^m$ of finite lower order, we prove that the Nevanlinna defects $\delta_f(H_j)$ satisfy $$ \sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\delta_f(H_j)^{1/3}<\infty....

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...

A sharp covering theorem and Solyanik estimates for Euclidean balls

For every finite family of Euclidean balls in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge2$, and every $0<\delta<1/2$, we select a subfamily whose $(1+\delta)$-dilations cover the original union and whose undilated balls have multiplicity at most $C_n\delta^{-(n-1)/2}$. This proves the covering estimate conjectured by Han and Lu \cite{HL}....

A uniform lower bound for the Zhang-Kawazumi invariant and applications to the Bogomolov conjecture

We prove that the Zhang-Kawazumi invariant $\varphi(X)$ of a compact and connected Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\ge 2$ is strictly larger than \[\frac{g(g+2)-(2g+1)H_g}{g-1},\] where $H_g=\sum_{k=1}^g \frac{1}{k}$ denotes the $g$-th harmonic number. If $X$ is hyperelliptic, we give the stronger bound $\varphi(X)>\fra...
