Abstract

We prove that for every fixed $\lambda>0$ and all sufficiently large $n$, any $z_1,\dots,z_n\in\C$ with $|z_j|\geq1$ satisfy $\max_{2\leq k\leq n+1}|\sum_j z_j^k|>e^{-\lambda n}$. Consequently, the $n$th root of the optimal maximum tends to $1$, so no constant $C>1$ in Erd\H{o}s 973 can exist. The proof combines a truncated exponential factorization with overconvergence on an open set outside the unit disk and a normal-family obstruction for Cauchy transforms.

On the growth of Bloch functions

We prove that there exist two Bloch functions $f_1$ and $f_2$ on $\mathbb D$ such that $$ |f_1(z)|+|f_2(z)| \geq \left(\log\frac{1}{1-|z|}\right)^{1/2}, \qquad z\in\mathbb D, $$ thereby resolving an open problem posed in 2008 by Girela, Pel\'aez, P\'erez-Gonz\'alez and R\"atty\"a. Our proof is based on a new Szeg\H{o}-...

The Spherical Gr\"unbaum Inequality

We prove an analogue of Gr\"unbaum's inequality on the sphere. Let $n \geq 3$ and let $K$ be a convex body on $\mathbb S^{n-1}\subset \mathbb R^n$ with centroid at $\theta\in \mathbb S^{n-1}$. Then for any $u\in \mathbb S^{n-1}$ that is orthogonal to $\theta$ we have $$\sigma(K\cap u^+) \ge \left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)^{...

Residual bounds for Schur-stable polynomials

Let $r_n$ be the infimum of \[ \frac{\lVert P'-P'(0)P\rVert_{H^2}}{\lVert P\rVert_{H^2}} \] over all degree-$n$ polynomials $P$ satisfying $P(0)=1$ whose zeros lie in the closed unit disk. We prove the quantitative residual bound \[ r_n\geq \exp\!\bigl(-(1+o(1))\sqrt n\log n\bigr) \qquad(n\to\infty). \] As an applicati...

On the $L^6$-norm of holomorphic Hecke eigenforms

Let $H_k$ be an $L^2$-normalized Hecke basis for the space of all holomorphic cusp forms of weight $k$. We show that $\max_{f\in H_k}\Vert F\Vert_6\gg (\log\log k)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ where $F(z)=(\Im z)^{\frac{k}{2}}f(z).$ This confirms that the $L^6$-norm of Hecke eigenforms does not converge uniformly as the weight goes...

On Buzzard's Theoren

Over any infinite field we prove existence of polynomial automorphism with prescribed differentials at points. More precisely, let $\K$ be an infinite field and $a_1,\ldots, a_k;$ $b_1,\ldots , b_k$ be two sequences of different points in~$\K^n$, $n\ge 2$. For any sequence $L_1,\ldots, L_k\in SL(n,\K)$ there exists a p...

Subconvexity of Short $k$-Free Exponential Sums

Let $S_k(\alpha;K)$ denote the exponential sum over $k$-free integers in the short interval $(N-K,N]$. For $s>0$, we prove essentially tight bounds on the $s$-th moments of $S_k(\alpha;K)$ whenever $K \gg N^{\theta_{k,s}+\epsilon}$ for some $\theta_{k,s}<1/2$. As an immediate consequence, we obtain a lower bound for th...
