Abstract

We construct smooth, strictly log-concave counterexamples to the Gaussian completely monotone conjecture in every dimension. In one dimension, they form an explicit family $f_m$ whose signed $m$th entropy derivative at time zero is negative for every sufficiently large $m$; the inequality persists for all sufficiently small positive times. Tensorization with a broad Gaussian factor gives the higher-dimensional examples. The argument is analytic and self-contained. It reduces the sign to a two-frequency entropy calculation on the circle and transfers the resulting asymptotic to the real line through an exact heat-flow formula for Gaussian-windowed Fourier modes. The proof was developed by GPT-5.6 Sol Pro under the authors'guidance.

The Guo-Zhang-Qi conjecture and positive Laplace kernels for a digamma power family

We study logarithmic complete monotonicity of a power family built from the digamma function. An explicit Laplace representation of its negative logarithmic derivative reduces the question to positivity of a continuous kernel. We prove a strict kernel bound on an explicit parameter range and obtain uniform lower bounds...

A dimension-free bound for isoperimetry of unconditional log-concave measures

We prove a dimension-free Poincar\'e inequality for isotropic unconditional log-concave probability measures, establishing the Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits (KLS) conjecture in the unconditional setting. The proof combines a new application of Dunkl operator theory combined with an appropriate transformation of the log-co...

Sharp asymptotics for the Lov\'asz number of random circulant graphs

We study the LOV\'ASZ number of dense random circulant graphs generated by independent Bernoulli bits indexed by cyclic distances. Although only $O(n)$ independent random inputs determine $O(n^2)$ globally dependent edge indicators, we prove sharp expectation asymptotics along all odd orders, including composite orders...

Polynomial Counterexamples to Shanks'Conjecture in Dirichlet-Type Spaces over the Bidisc

We study optimal polynomial approximants in spaces of Dirichlet-type over the bidisc. Given a nonzero function f, the linear optimal polynomial approximant (opa) to its reciprocal is the affine polynomial p for which pf is closest to the constant function 1 in the space norm. We prove that, for every positive value of...

Exact Endpoint Asymptotics and Almost-Sure Limits for Uniform Empirical Measures in Two Dimensions

For the empirical measure of the first $n$ points of one infinite sequence of independent uniform samples in the unit square, we identify the leading constant in the bounded-Lipschitz distance to area measure, equivalently in $W_1$, both in expectation and almost surely along all sample sizes. The constant is $c_*=\kap...

Unbounded log-concavity breaks in independence polynomials of spherically symmetric trees

Using a dioid algebraic structure, we show that there exist spherically symmetric trees $T(2^m 1^n)$ whose independence polynomials exhibit multiple breaks in log-concavity, a result established by estimating the asymptotic growth of the coefficients of these polynomials. Provided the parameter $n$ is a sufficiently la...
