Abstract

We present an algorithm for the rapid numerical integration of a time-periodic ODE with a small dissipation term that is $C^1$ in the velocity. Such an ODE arises as a model of spin-orbit coupling in a star/planet system, and the motivation for devising a fast algorithm for its solution comes from the desire to estimate probability of capture in various solutions, via Monte Carlo simulation: the integration times are very long, since we are interested in phenomena occurring on times similar to the formation time of the planets. The proposed algorithm is based on the High-order Euler Method (HEM) which was described in~\cite{hem}, and it requires computer algebra to set up the code for its implementation. The pay-off is an overall increase in speed by a factor of about $7.5$ compared to standard numerical methods. Means for accelerating the purely numerical computation are also discussed

Fragment-wise differentiable structures

The $p$-modulus of curves, test plans, upper gradients, charts, differentials, approximations in energy and density of directions are all concepts associated to the theory of Sobolev functions in metric measure spaces. The purpose of this paper is to give an analogous geometric and ``fragment-wise'' theory for Lipschitz functions and Weaver derivations, where $\infty$-modulus of curve fragments, $\ast$-upper gradients and Alberti representations play a central role. We give a new definition of fragment-wise charts and prove that they exists for spaces with finite Hausdorff dimension. We give a replacement for $p$-duality in terms of Alberti representations and $\infty$-modulus and present the theory of $\ast$-upper gradients. Further, we give new and sharper results for approximations of Lipschitz functions, which yields the density of directions. Our results are applicable to all complete and separable metric measure spaces. In the process, we show that there are strong parallels between the Sobolev and Lipschitz worlds.

On the prime field spherical restriction conjecture in four dimensions: breaking the Stein-Tomas exponent and applications

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We prove the extension estimate $R_{S_j}^*(2\to r)\lesssim_r 1$ for every nonzero-radius sphere $S_j\subseteq\mathbb{F}_p^4$ and every $r\geq \, 34/11$, uniformly in $p$ and $j$. This improves the Stein--Tomas exponent $10/3$ established by Iosevich and Koh (2008). We also formulate a localized spherical restriction/extension conjecture that predicts the sharp dependence of the restriction norm on the size of the physical support. This conjecture implies the spherical extension estimates $R_{S_j}^*(2\to r)\lesssim_r 1$ for every $r>3$, and yields almost-every-pin distance estimates at the conjectured Erdős--Falconer exponent in four dimensions, up to an arbitrarily small power loss in the set-size hypothesis. Using the same method, we improve the bounds supplied by Fourier decay and Plancherel at intermediate support scales and derive new almost-every-pin distance estimates in $\mathbb{F}_p^4$.

A characterization of idempotent Schur multipliers

We prove that every idempotent Schur multiplier is a finite signed sum of contractive idempotent Schur multipliers. This was conjectured by Katavolos and Paulsen in 2003 and previously known only for translation-invariant Schur multipliers, by the Cohen-Host idempotent theorem. Concretely, we show that any boolean matrix $A$ with Schur multiplier norm at most $γ$ (or equivalently $\lVert A\rVert_{γ_2} \le γ$) can be written as \[ A=\sum_{i=1}^{L}σ_i B_i,\] where $L\leq 2^{Cγ^6}$ for an absolute constant $C$, $σ_i\in\{-1,1\}$ are signs, and each $B_i$ is a contractive idempotent Schur multiplier, that is, a boolean matrix whose $1$-entries form a union of all-one rectangular blocks, with no two blocks sharing a row or a column. As observed by Carenini, a key lemma in our work yields a new proof of the Cohen-Host theorem and gives a simple proof of the quantitative refinements of Green-Sanders and Sanders, with improved bounds. We include a self-contained exposition of these results in the case of finite groups.
