Abstract

A normalized analytic function $f$ defined on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ is called $α$-spirallike if $f(\mathbb{D})$ is an $α$-spirallike domain, that is, for every $z\in f(\mathbb{D})$, the $α$-spiral $ze^{-e^{iα}t}$, $t\ge0$, is contained in $f(\mathbb{D})$, or equivalently, if $\operatorname{Re}\!\left(e^{iα} {zf'(z)}/{f(z)}\right)>0$ for all $z\in \mathbb{D}$. The 0-spirallike functions are the usual starlike functions. The function $f$ is parabolic starlike, if $\operatorname{Re}\!\left(\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\right)>\left|\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-1\right|$, and lemniscate starlike if $|(zf'(z)/f(z))^2-1|<1$ respectively. In this paper, we determine the radii of parabolic starlikeness and lemniscate starlikeness of $α$-spirallike functions. Our approach combines geometric characterizations of the underlying regions with the resultant method for eliminating auxiliary variables, leading to explicit equations for the sharp radii. Some known radius results are recovered as special cases.

A Proof of the Koumandos--Ruscheweyh Conjecture

We prove the Koumandos--Ruscheweyh conjecture for every $0<ρ\leq1$. If $ν(ρ)$ is the unique root in $(0,1]$ of $\int_0^{(1+ρ)π}t^{μ-1}\sin(t-ρπ)\,\mathrm{d}t=0$, then $(1-z)^ρs_n^μ(z)\prec((1+z)/(1-z))^ρ$ for every $n\geq0$, $0<μ\leqν(ρ)$ and $z\in\mathbb{D}$, where $s_n^μ(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n(μ)_kz^k/k!$. The parameter $ν(ρ)$ is optimal. The proof combines an all-parameter gamma-coefficient comparison with an exact beta integral and a binomial variance estimate, reducing the infinitely many degrees to finitely many continuous interval inequalities. The remaining inequalities are certified by 256-bit ball arithmetic; rational covers, source code and alternative-formula verifiers are provided. The weak positive-real-part conjecture follows as a sharp corollary. We also derive sharp consequences for starlike functions and Gegenbauer polynomial sections: a full-parameter convolution subordination, the optimal starlike order for uniform partial-sum sectors, and the optimal Gegenbauer parameter and sector angle. The necessary bounds and angular sharpness are obtained from explicit kernels and interior scaling limits.

The Differential Hilbert Operator Between Weighted Bergman Spaces

In this paper, a complete characterization of the boundedness, compactness, norm and essential norm of the differential Hilbert operator $\mathcal{H}_2:A^2_α\to A^2_β$ is obtained. More precisely, $\mathcal H_2:A^2_α\to A^2_β$ is bounded if and only if $-1<α<0$ and $β\geqα+2$ and it is compact if and only if $-1<α<0$ and $β>α+2$. The norm and essential norm of $ \|\mathcal H_2\|_{A^2_α\to A^2_β}$ are also investigated. In particular, when $β=α+2$, \[ \|\mathcal H_2\|_{A^2_α\to A^2_{α+2}} =\|\mathcal H_2\|_{\mathrm e,A^2_α\to A^2_{α+2}} =\frac{π\sqrt{(α+2)(α+3)}} {\sin(π(α+2)/2)},\qquad -1<α<0. \] When $β>α+2$, $\|\mathcal H_2\|_{\mathrm e,A^2_α\to A^2_β}=0$. Furthermore, for every $1\leq p<\infty$, the operator $\mathcal H_2$ belongs to the Schatten class $\mathcal S_p$ if and only if it is compact.

Griffiths positivity does not imply positivity of the top Chern form

For every integer $r\geq9$, we construct a smooth Griffiths-positive Hermitian metric on $\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^r}(1)^{\oplus r}$ whose top Chern form is pointwise negative on a nonempty open set. This gives counterexamples on compact projective manifolds to Griffiths' conjecture on the positivity of Chern--Weil forms.
