Abstract

In the seminal work of Balogh-Buckley [Invent. Math. 2003], the authors asked the following fundamental open problem: for proper subdomains in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, does the ball separation condition alone imply the Gehring-Hayman inequality? In this paper, via a completely new measure-independent approach, we establish the following geometric characterization of Gromov hyperbolicity in a fairly general setting: The Gromov hyperbolicity of a proper subdomain in a doubling metric space is quantitatively equivalent to the geometric ball separation condition, with explicit dependence on the coefficients. In the special case of Euclidean spaces, it affirmatively solves the above Balogh-Buckely problem. Our result also significantly improves the main result of Koskela-Lammi-Manojlović [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. 2014]. As applications, we obtain the quasiconformal invariance of ball separation condition, a geometric characterization of inner uniformity in terms of ball separation condition, and the Gromov hyperbolicity of quasihyperbolic John length spaces.

Convolution Regularization Preserves the $L^2$-Estimate Property for $(1,n)$-Forms

In this paper, we prove that the \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((1,n)\)-forms is preserved under the standard convolution regularization. As applications, we show that any singular Hermitian metric satisfying the optimal or multiple coarse \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((n,1)\) or \((1,n)\)-forms is Griffiths semi-positive. This resolves a question posed by Deng--Ning--Wang and a question by Inayama.

Sharp Bounds for Higher-Order Schippers Functionals Associated with Lune and Bean Domains

We obtain sharp bounds for the third- and fourth-order Schippers functionals, $|σ_3(f)(0)|$ and $|σ_4(f)(0)|$, for subclasses of univalent functions associated with non-classical geometric domains. In particular, we investigate the lune-starlike class $\mathcal{S}_{\leftmoon}^*$ and the lune-convex class $\mathcal{C}_{\leftmoon}$ determined by the subordination \[ \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \qquad 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \] respectively, together with the bean-domain class $\mathcal{BT}_{\mathfrak{B}}$ associated with \[ \mathfrak{B}(z)=\sqrt{1+\tanh z}. \] Using Carathéodory coefficient parametrizations and extremal optimization techniques, we derive exact estimates for the higher-order Schwarzian derivatives at the origin and identify the corresponding extremal functions. In addition, geometric descriptions of the associated extremal image domains are provided to illustrate the sharpness phenomena. The obtained results further yield sharp bounds for the initial Grunsky coefficients $g_{1,1}$ and $g_{1,2}$. These findings provide a precise description of higher-order Schwarzian structures for univalent functions related to lune and bean shaped domains.

Cesàro operator induced by a Bergman kernel

Let $μ$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1)$ and $ω$ a radial weight. In this paper we consider the Cesàro-type operator $C_{μ,ω}$ induced by the reproducing kernel $B^ω$ of the weighted Bergman space $A^2_ω$, given by $$ C_{μ,ω}(f)(z)=\int_{0}^{1}f(tz)B^ω_t(z)\,dμ(t), \quad z \in \mathbb{D}, $$ for functions $f$ analytic in $\mathbb{D}$. Under the assumption that $ω$ satisfies a natural doubling property, we study the boundedness of $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on several spaces of analytic functions, including Hardy spaces $H^p$ and weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_ν$. For $0<p,q<\infty$ and a two-sided doubling weight $ν$, we completely characterize when $C_{μ,ω}: H^p \to H^q$ and $C_{μ,ω}: A^p_ν \to A^q_ν$ are bounded in terms of the interplay of tail integrals or moments of the inducing weights and the measure $μ$. Many of the results obtained are new even in the setting of standard weights or when the Bergman reproducing kernel is replaced by the Cauchy kernel. In addition, we consider $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on $H^{\infty}$, Korenblum spaces and weighted Hardy spaces.
