Abstract

We study weak tiling by finite unions of pairwise non-overlapping unit cubes in $\mathbb R^d$ that are not necessarily axis-parallel. We obtain a weak-tiling analogue of Keller's classical theorem, which gives a structural restriction on the support of any weak tiling measure associated with the unit cube. This allows us to derive geometric restrictions on configurations of cubes whose union admits a weak tiling. As an application, we prove Fuglede's conjecture for unions of three non-overlapping unit squares in $\mathbb R^2$ as well as unions of two non-overlapping axis-parallel unit cubes in any dimension.

On Cone Restriction Estimates in Higher Dimensions

We revisit the Ou-Wang's approach to the cone restriction problem via polynomial partitioning. By recasting their inductive scheme as a recursive algorithm and incorporating the nested polynomial Wolff axioms, we obtain improved bounds for cone restriction estimates in higher dimensions.

Hyperplane Incidences and Distance Sets in Higher Dimensions

We generalize Ren and Wang's incidence bound between points and lines in $\R^2$ \cite{RenWan23} to higher dimensions. We show how to use this incidence bound to improve the best known bound for Falconer's distance set problem in $\R^3$ and in $\R^4$. We show that if $d=3$ or $d=4$, and $E\subset \R^d$ is a Borel set of dimension $\dim_H(E) > d/2$, then \begin{equation*} \sup_{x\in E} \dim_H(Δ_x(E)) \geq 2/3, \end{equation*} where $Δ_x(E)$ is the pinned distance set of $E$ with respect to $x$. We also show how the incidence bound can be used to generalize the planar Furstenberg set bound, to sets in $\R^d$ that contain a $t$-dimensional set of hyperplanes, each of which contains an $s$-dimensional set of points, for any $d\ge 2$, $s \in (d-2, d-1]$ and $t \in (0, d]$.

Turán type inequalities for oscillatory special functions

In this paper our aim is to prove a conjecture of Á. Baricz on Bessel functions of the first kind, which improves the classical Turán type inequality for Bessel functions of the first kind proved by O. Szász. The idea is to consider the normalized Turán expression for Bessel functions of the first kind and to show that between two consecutive zeros of the Bessel functions of the first kind the branch of this normalized Turán expression has a local minimum, and the minimum values form a strictly increasing convergent sequence, whose terms are strictly decreasing with respect to the order. Moreover, we extend this result to general Bessel functions and regular Coulomb wave functions, and we use a similar approach to show sharp Turán type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of purely imaginary order and parabolic cylinder functions. In addition, we prove a complex analogue of the result on Bessel functions of the first kind about the strictly decreasing property of the successive minimum values: an inclusion property in the complex plane of the Turán expression for Bessel functions of the first kind by using the subordinating factor sequence technique in the sense of H.S. Wilf. The techniques employed in the paper may be useful to treat similar problems where Turánians or normalized Turánians of other oscillatory special functions appear.
