Abstract

We study exponentially damped M\"obius approximants in $\mathscr H=L^2([1,\infty),dt/t^{-2})$. With \[ \gamma_n(t)=\left\lfloor\frac tn\right\rfloor -\frac{\lfloor t\rfloor}{n},\qquad f(u)(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}\mu(n)e^{-nu}\gamma_n(t),\] we compute the relevant scalar products, characterize the M\"obius coefficients as the unique coefficients giving pointwise convergence to the constant function, and prove $\langle1 \mid f(u)\rangle\to1$. Vasyunin's formula expresses $F(e^{-u})=\|f(u)\|_2^2$ as an arithmetic cotangent sum. To analyze $F(x)$ as $x\uparrow 1$, we define the canonical third-order truncation $\mathcal F_{[3]}$ of $F$ by deleting the sole remainder $\rho_3$. We prove exact edge and residue-character cancellations, initial-edge asymptotics, finite-scale formulas, and \[ \mathcal F_{[3]}(x)\ll \frac{\log^2\!\bigl(e/(1-x)\bigr)}{1-x}. \] For the terms containing $\rho_3$, we prove initial-edge asymptotics, and a finite-scale criterion. The unresolved boundedness problem is thereby reduced to explicit global bilinear cancellation.

$L^\infty$ Variational Approximation of the Aubry Set

Let $H\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb T^n)$ be a periodic Tonelli Hamiltonian with critical value $c$.

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 exponential sum over squarefree integers

Let $\mu$ be the M\"obius function and $e(t)=e^{2\pi it}$. We prove that if $N\ge2$, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, $(a,q)=1$, and $|\alpha-a/q|\le q^{-2}$, then \[\bigg|\sum_{n\le N}\mu^2(n)e(\alpha n)\bigg|\ll\left(\frac Nq+q\right)(\log 2N)^5, \] with an absolute implied constant, and we deduce the corresponding estimate on...

From Umbral Hyperbolic Integrals to a Cotangent Coefficient Formula for the Mittag Leffler Polynomials

Let \(g_n(x)\) be the Mittag--Leffler polynomials defined by $$ \sum_{n\ge0}g_n(x)t^n=\frac12\left(\frac{1+t}{1-t}\right)^x. $$ We derive the coefficient formula $$ g_n(x)=\frac1n\sum_{j=0}^{\lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor} (-1)^j\frac{2^{n-2j-1}}{(n-2j-1)!} [u^{2j}](u\cot u)^n\,x^{n-2j}, $$ equivalently $$ [u^{n-r}](u\cot u)^n...

An Orlicz variational formula for David-type Beltrami equations

Let $\mathcal{U} \Subset \mathbb{C}$ be fixed, $\Phi(s)=e^s-s-1$, $F(\nu)=\frac{\nu}{2+|\nu|}$, and let $f^{F(\nu)}$ denote the principal solution of the corresponding Beltrami equation. The identity $K_{F(\nu)}=1+|\nu|$ identifies compactly supported David coefficients with exponential-Orlicz parameters. We prove that...

Nondegeneracy and regularity of polynomial pushforwards

Let $\mu$ be a log-concave probability measure on $\mathbb R^n$ and let $f\colon\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^k$ be a polynomial mapping of degree at most $d$. We show that \[ \mu(f\in A) \le C\bigl(\lambda_k(A)\bigr)^{\frac{1}{k(d-1)+1}} \] for every Borel set $A\subset\mathbb R^k$ whenever the image measure $\mu\circ f^{-1...
