Abstract

We prove two arithmetic nonexistence conditions for tight spherical $5$-designs in dimension $(2m+1)^2-2$. Let $m$ be a positive even integer satisfying $\nu_2(m(m+1))\leq5$, where $\nu_p(a)$ denotes the exponent of the prime $p$ in the positive integer $a$. We show that such a design does not exist if either (i) $m\equiv1\pmod3$ and $\nu_p(m(m+1))\leq1$ for every prime $p\geq7$ with $p\equiv3\pmod4$, or (ii) $m\equiv0\pmod3$, $\nu_3(m(m+1))=1$, and $\nu_p(m(m+1))\leq1$ for every prime $p\geq5$ with $p\not\equiv1\pmod{12}$. Together, these conditions recover the corresponding nonexistence results of Bannai, Munemasa, and Venkov and of Nebe and Venkov, and exclude parameters not covered by either earlier result, including $m=16,40,88,96,100$. The proofs use lattice theory to constrain the discriminant groups of the associated lattices, and derive contradictions through Gauss sums and determinant congruences.

On the largest prime factors less than $y$ of consecutive shifted primes

For an integer $n>1$, let $P^+(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$, and let $P_y^+(n)$ denote the largest prime factor of $n$ not exceeding $y$. One of Erd\H{o}s and Tur\'an's conjectures asserts that the asymptotic density of integers $n$ satisfying $P^+(n)<P^+(n+1)$ is $1/2$. Furthermore, Wang conjectures that for...

Sharp Metric Cotype Inequalities for $L_1$ via Nonlinear Cut Smoothing

For every $1\leq p<\infty$ and even integer $m\geq4$, we determine the optimal order of the $p$-moment torus inequality for $L_1$: it is $m^p n^{(1-p/2)_+}+n$, with comparison constants independent of $p,m,n$ after taking $p$-th roots. Consequently, for every $2\leq q<\infty$ and $1\leq p\leq q$, the corresponding metr...

A linear bound for Fujita's freeness conjecture

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n$, and let $L$ be an ample Cartier divisor. We prove that $K_X+mL$ is globally generated for every integer $m\geq\lceil C_0n\rceil$, where $C_0=1.77629\ldots$ is an explicit constant. In particular, $K_X+2nL$ is globally generated. We also prove that if $Z$...

On a Tur\'an's theorem for arithmetic progressions

Let $m\geq 1$ be a fixed integer, $a$ an integer satisfying $(a,m)=1$, and $z\geq 1$ a real parameter. Denote by $\omega_{z}(n;m,a)$ the number of distinct prime divisors $p$ of $n$ satisfying $p\equiv a\, (m)$ and $p\leq z$. We study an asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{n\leq x}\left(\omega_{z}(n;m,a)-\frac{1}{\varphi(m)...

Integral quadratic forms over a ring of $p$-adic integers

Jungin Lee in 2018 proved a necessary and sufficient condition that an integral quadratic form $\sum_{i=1}^{m} a_iX_i^2$ is universal over $M_2(\mathbb{Z})$. For a positive integer $n \geq 2$, Lee defined $f(n)$ to be the smallest positive integer $m$ such that for every pairwise coprime $a_1, a_2, \ldots a_m \in \math...

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...
