Abstract

We prove that, among all measurable sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$ of prescribed Lebesgue measure, there exists a set maximizing the sum of the first $K$ eigenvalues ($K\geq 1$) of the associated Toeplitz operator on the Fock space. In the Fock setting, the case $K=1$ is well known, the optimal sets being balls of prescribed measure, whereas for $K>1$ the existence of optimal sets appears to be new (maximizers are not known explicitly, and the optimality of balls remains conjectural). Moreover, under mild assumptions, our proof extends to localization operators associated with abstract wavelet transforms. In this broader setting, the result is new even for $K=1$. As an application, we prove the existence of optimal sets for the Donoho--Stark concentration problem and its generalization to orthonormal systems.

Compactness of Toeplitz Operators on the Bergman Space

Let $\varphi\in L^\infty(\D)$. We study compactness criteria for \(T_\varphi\) on the Bergman space $A^2(\D)$. Axler and Zheng~\cite{AZ1998} established a necessary and sufficient condition for compactness in terms of the Berezin transform. For a general bounded measurable function $\varphi$, however, its Berezin trans...

Parametric decompositions into products of involutions

It is a well-known result of Gustafson, Halmos and Radjavi, dating back to 1976, that any matrix $A$ in $SL_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a product of at most 4 involutions. We consider a natural continuous and holomorphic parameter dependence of this result in the spirit of Vaserstein and Gromov. Our main result shows that null-h...

On Banach and Kuratowski Theorem and generalized strong sequences

In 1929, Banach and Kuratowski proved under CH a combinatorial theorem, which implies that there is not a non-vanishing $\sigma$-additive finite measure on $\mathbb{R}$ which is defined for every set of reals. In 2003 Bartoszy\'nski and Halbeisen proved that Banach and Kuratowski theorem is equivalent to the existence...

A proof of the Szeg\H{o} conjecture on Jacobi extrema

For Jacobi polynomials with parameters greater than $-1/2$, and with the relative extrema enumerated from the endpoint $x=1$, the normalised modulus at the $k$th extremum of degree $n+1$ is proved to be strictly smaller than that at the $k$th extremum of degree $n$, for $1\leq k\leq n$. This proves the Szeg\H{o} conjec...

Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the fractional Laplacian on the interval

We prove a three-term asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian on the bounded interval $(-1,1)$. This improves the eigenvalue asymptotics of Kulczycki--Kwa\'snicki--Ma{\l}ecki--St\'os and Kwa\'snicki, and confirms the conjectural $O_\alpha(n^{-2})$ remainder suggested by the numerical simulati...

Asymptotics of Hankel determinants for potentials with singular edge points

We establish the large-$n$ asymptotics of Hankel determinants for unitary random matrix ensembles possessing a higher-order edge singularity. We focus on ensembles where the equilibrium measure is supported on a single interval and the limiting eigenvalue density vanishes to order $2k+\frac{1}{2}$ for $k \in \mathbb{N}...
