Abstract

A new position is introduced and studied for the convolution of log-concave functions, which may be regarded as a functional analogue of the maximum intersection position of convex bodies introduced and studied by Artstein-Avidan and Katzin (2018) and Artstein-Avidan and Putterman (2022). Our main result is a John-type theorem for the maximal intersection position of a pair of log-concave functions, including the corresponding decomposition of the identity. The main result holds under very weak assumptions on the functions; in particular, the functions considered may both have unbounded supports. As an application of our results, we introduce a John-type position for even $\log$-concave measures.

Embedding complexity into the universal Banach space and the strong Novikov conjecture

Brown-Guentner and Haagerup-Przybyszewska showed that every discrete group admits a proper affine isometric action on the universal Banach space $\bigoplus_{p=1}^{\infty} \ell^{2p}(\mathbb{N}),$ taken as the $\ell^{2}$-direct sum, and hence admits a coarse embedding into this space [7, 28]. They further asked whether such embeddings could be used to study the Novikov conjecture. In this paper, we address this question by proving that the strong Novikov conjecture holds for any discrete group that admits a coarse embedding with finite complexity into this universal Banach space. Finally, we show that the recently discovered non-sofic groups constructed by Kun and Thom have Property A and therefore satisfy the Novikov conjecture.

Fixed point results for mappings of asymptotically Hölder nonexpansive type

We introduce asymptotically Hölder nonexpansive mappings and mappings of asymptotically Hölder nonexpansive type, in which the Hölder exponents converge to one along the iterates. We prove that if \(K\) is a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of a Banach space \(X\) with characteristic of convexity \(ε_0(X)<1\), then every self-mapping of \(K\) of asymptotically Hölder nonexpansive type admits a point \(x\in K\) such that \(T^n x\to x\). Consequently, a fixed point exists whenever some positive iterate of \(T\) is continuous; in particular, this applies to asymptotically Hölder nonexpansive mappings. We also obtain fixed-point-free constructions in spaces containing copies of \(c_0\), and a related construction on a bounded convex, not necessarily closed, subset of every Banach space containing an isomorphic copy of \(\ell_1\). Further examples show that the new classes properly extend their classical counterparts and may contain mappings with no continuous positive iterate. Finally, we examine Lin's renorming of \(\ell_1\), identify an obstruction related to shift-type constructions, and establish a shrinking-diagonal criterion that reduces the remaining closed-set problem to the construction of a suitably controlled uniformly Lipschitzian mapping.

Optimal distributional estimates of the multiple Hilbert transform

In this paper, we study optimal distributional estimates for the multiple Hilbert transform. We obtain pointwise upper and lower distributional estimates of the multiple Hilbert transform in terms of the $d$-fold composition of the Calderón operator with itself. This extends the fundamental results by A. P. Calderón, D. Boyd, and Ch. Fefferman for arbitrary $d\in\mathbb N.$
