Abstract

Let $1\leq k\leq n$. We prove that $k$-dimensional intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ satisfy a geometric lemma $\mathrm{GLem}(\beta_{2,\mathcal{V}_k},p)$ for horizontal $\beta$-numbers with an exponent $p=p(k)$. Previously, this result was known only in the case $k=1$; our proof recovers the sharp exponent $p=4$ in this setting. For $k>1$, we adapt an integral geometric approach originally developed by Orponen for Euclidean and parabolic Lipschitz functions. In addition, for $k=n$, we show how to deduce a geometric lemma directly from an isotropic Dorronsoro theorem in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ using a Morrey-type inequality. Building on the new geometric lemmas, we establish a necessary condition for $k$-regular sets in $\mathbb{H}^n$ to admit corona decompositions by intrinsic Lipschitz graphs. The condition is known to be sufficient by earlier work of the last two authors together with Pinamonti. It involves additional flatness coefficients besides $\beta_{2,\mathcal{V}_k}$. Along the way, we therefore extend the known stability results for geometric lemmas under the"big pieces''functor to a larger class of coefficients.

Elliptic matroids and modular curves

For $n\geq 4$, let $T_n$ be the rank-3 matroid on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose bases are the three-element non-zero-sum subsets. Let $X_1(n)^\circ$ denote the open subscheme of the modular curve $X_1(n)$ obtained by removing the cusps corresponding to reducible N\'eron polygons. For $n \geq 10$, we give a purely alge...

Uniform non-homogeneous bundles on quadrics

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional generalized Grassmannian not isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$. We prove that $k(X)\le n-1$, where $k(X)$ denotes the maximal integer such that every uniform bundle on $X$ of rank at most $k(X)$ is homogeneous. In particular, for smooth quadrics $\mathbb{Q}^n$, we have $k(\mathbb{Q}^n)=n-1$ 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...

Improved sup-norm bounds for locally symmetric spaces

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type, of dimension $n$ and rank $r$, and let $Y=\Gamma\backslash X$. Sarnak's local bound for an $L^2$-normalized spherical joint eigenfunction with regular tempered parameter of size $T$ is $\|\phi\|_\infty\ll T^{(n-r)/2}$. We prove $o(T^{(n-r)/2})$ locally uniformly on e...

On the Central Maximal Function in $\mathbb{R}^n$

We study the central Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $M_c$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for all $n\geq1$, with particular emphasis on the question of its injectivity. More precisely, we consider whether there exist two nonnegative functions $f,g\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $\|f-g\|_1>0$ and $M_cf=M_cg$. Along the way, we o...

On the number of regular simplices in odd dimensions

Let $S^k_d(n)$ denote the maximum number of regular $(k-1)$-simplices spanned by $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For all fixed $r\geq k\geq3$, the exact value of $S^k_{2r}(n)$ was recently determined by Dumitrescu and the authors for all sufficiently large $n$ when $k=3$, and conditionally on an optimization problem when...
