Abstract

By using Cauchy integral formula in the theory of complex functions, the authors establish some integral representations for the principal branches of several complex functions involving the logarithmic function, find some properties, such as being operator monotone function, being complete Bernstein function, and being Stieltjes function, for these functions, and verify a conjecture on complete monotonicity of a function involving the logarithmic function.

The divergence set for the wave equation in higher dimensions

It is shown that if $u$ solves the wave equation in $\mathbb{R}^{4+1}$ with initial data $u(\cdot,0) = u_0(\cdot) \in H^s$ and $\partial_tu(\cdot,0) = u_1(\cdot ) \in H^{s-1}$, where $0.5 < s \leq 0.55$, then $u(x,t) \to u_0(x)$ and $\partial_tu(x,t) \to u_1(x)$ pointwise as $t \to 0$, for all $x$ outside an exceptional set of Hausdorff dimension at most $6-4s$. In a very small range of $s$, this verifies a conjecture of Barceló, Bennett, Carbery, and Rogers. More generally, a partial improvement to the exceptional set bound in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is obtained for $n \geq 4$ and $1/2 < s < n/4$.

The multifractal nature of a parametrized family of von Koch functions

In a famous paper published in 1904, Helge von Koch introduced the curve that still serves nowadays as an iconic representation of fractal shapes. In fact, von Koch's main goal was the construction of a continuous but nowhere differentiable function, very similar to the snowflake, using elementary geometric procedures, and not analytical formulae. We prove that a parametrized family of functions (including and) generalizing von Koch's example enjoys a rich multifractal behavior, thus enriching the class of historical mathematical objects having surprising regularity properties. The analysis relies on the study of the orbits of an underlying dynamical system and on the introduction of self-similar measures and non-trivial iterated functions systems adapted to the problem.

Frame Sets and Zeros of Zak Transforms of Extended Gaussians

Let $a,b,c\in\mathbb C$ with $\re(a)<0$, we show that the extended Gaussian $e^{ax^2+bx+c}$ has maximal frame set (i.e., its frame set consists of precisely all positive pairs $(α,β)$ with $αβ<1$), and its Zak transform has a unique simple zero in the unit square $[0,1)^2$ (in particular, the zero is at the center of the unit square if $b=0$). These statements extend the same results of the usual Gaussian (the cases when $a<0$ and $b,c\in\mathbb R$), and add more instances to the observation that if a continuous Wiener function has maximal frame set, then its Zak transform has a unique simple zero in the unit square. The proof of the maximality of the frame set combines metaplectic representation with a classical density result of the standard Gaussian. The proof of the uniqueness of the zero relies on properties of the theta function.
