Abstract

We present a new elementary proof of a theorem due to Harald Bohr, which states that an unbounded, analytic, and almost periodic function in a half-plane can be written as the sum of two analytic functions: the first is unbounded and periodic, while the second is bounded and almost periodic. The proof is based on a well-known arithmetical property of translation numbers of almost periodic functions.

Entropy Expansion for General Polynomial Images of Frostman Random Variables

We prove dyadic entropy expansion for the observables $X+Y$ and $f(X,Y)$ under Frostman nonconcentration hypotheses on a prescribed, possibly dependent law. For an integer $n\ge1$, write $H_n(Z)=H(\lfloor 2^nZ\rfloor)$ for the base-two Shannon entropy at resolution $2^{-n}$; thus $n$ indexes the fineness of the dyadic discretization. For every $0 4/3$, we obtain $\max\{H_n(X+Y),H_n(f(X,Y))\}\ge (\frac{s_1+s_2}{2}+\varepsilon)n-O(1)$ for an explicit $\varepsilon>0$. Here the baseline averages the two Frostman exponents. We also classify the exceptional coordinate representations and construct obstructions for algebraic affine directions with Frostman constants uniform in the scale.

On entire solutions of two kinds of quadratic trinomial Fermat type functional equations

The existence of entire solutions to Fermat type differential-difference equations and \(q\)-difference differential equations involving second-order derivatives is investigated by using Nevanlinna theory. The exact forms of the entire solutions to these equations mentioned above are identified. These results represent a generalization and improvement of previous findings obtained by Gong et al. [Bull. Iran. Math. Soc. 51, 17 (2025)]. Furthermore, some examples are provided to illustrate these results.

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 $r\geq 16/5$, uniformly in $p$ and $j$. This improves the Stein--Tomas exponent $10/3$ established by Iosevich and Koh (2008). To prove this result, we develop a new method that combines horizontal slicing, cancellation in an affine fourth-moment expansion, a rich-plane decomposition, and incidence estimates. 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 $\mathbb{F}_p^4$.
