Abstract

For $P=X_1^2+\cdots + X_n^2$, let $T_t^Pf(x)$ denote the solution to the linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation at time $t$. In 1980, Carleson asked for the minimal regularity of an initial data function $f\in H^s(\mathbb{R}^n)$ that guarantees pointwise convergence of $T_t^Pf(x)$ to $f(x)$ as $t\rightarrow 0$. This was resolved by Bourgain, who constructed counterexamples for the Schr\"{o}dinger maximal operator to show that $s\geq n/(2(n+1))$ is necessary, and Du and Zhang, who proved that $s>n/(2(n+1))$ is sufficient. Rogers, Vargas, and Vega studied the analogous question for the non-elliptic Schr\"{o}dinger maximal operator, where $P = X_1^2-X_2^2 \pm X_3^2\pm \cdots \pm X_n^2$, and proved that, for all $n\geq 2$, $s\geq 1/2$ is necessary and $s>1/2$ is sufficient. In this paper, we construct counterexamples for generalizations of the non-elliptic case and prove a necessary condition of $s\geq 1/2$ for an infinite class of polynomial symbols $P$.

Mockenhaupt's Three-Term Hardy-Littlewood Majorant Conjecture

For an integer $k \ge 0$, let $f_k(x) = 1 + e(x) + e((k+2)x)$ and $g_k(x) = 1 + e(x) - e((k+2)x)$ on $\mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$, where $e(x) = e^{2\pi i x}$. Mockenhaupt conjectured that $\|g_k\|_{L^p(\mathbb{T})}>\|f_k\|_{L^p(\mathbb{T})}$ whenever $2k<p<2k+2$. The conjecture was previously known for $k \le...

Vector-Carleson, Calder\'on, and Poisson-Atomic Criteria for Generalized Hilbert Operators on $H^p$, $p>2$

Let $\mathcal H_g f(z)=\int_0^1 f(t)g'(tz),dt$, and let $2<p<\infty$. Set $t=2p/(p-2)$ and $X_j=2^{-j/p'}\Delta_j g'$, where $\Delta_j$ is the hard dyadic Taylor projection. We prove that $\mathcal H_g:H^p\to H^p$ is bounded if and only if $h\mapsto(X_jh)_{j\geq0}$ is bounded from $H^t$ to $\ell^t(H^2)$. The square of...

Nakajima-extremal Artin--Schreier covers of ordinary elliptic curves in characteristic $2$

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ and let $q=2^h$, $h\ge3$. We construct ordinary bielliptic curves $X$ of genus $q+1$ for which \[ \Aut(X)\cong \Dih(C_q)\times C_2, \qquad |\Aut(X)|=4q=4(g(X)-1). \] These curves realize case \textup{(ib)} in the classification of Giulietti--Korchm\'aros an...

The Boundedness Problem for Generalized Hilbert Operators on Hardy Spaces

Let $g$ be analytic in the unit disc and consider the generalized Hilbert operator $$ \mathcal{H}_g(f)(z)=\int_0^1 f(t)g'(tz)\, dt. $$ The boundedness of $\mathcal H_g$ on $H^p$ is characterized by the mean Lipschitz condition $g\in\Lambda\left(p,\frac{1}{p}\right)$ when $1<p\leq2$, while the problem remains open for $...

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...

Shannon's problem on the monotonicity of entropy and a Conjecture of Tao

Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. finitely supported random variables in a torsion-free abelian group, and write $S_k=X_1+\cdots+X_k$, and $H(S_k)$ is the Shannon entropy $S_k$, for all $k \ge 1$. We prove that, for every fixed $n\geq1$, \[ H(S_{n+1})-H(S_n) \geq \frac12\log\frac{n+1}{n} -o_{H(X_1)\to\infty}(1), \] unifor...
