Hypergeometric solutions to coupled Klein-Gordon equations in cosmology with small-field excursions

Abstract

The Klein-Gordon equation is a second order differential equation that appears in a variety of applications in mathematics, physics and engineering. This equation is often solved using numerical methods, since a general analytical solution is unattainable. However, one can find very useful analytical solutions for some special cases. In cosmology, the Klein-Gordon equation of a field can explain the physics of inflation and has important consequences on understanding the origin and evolution of the universe. An analytical solution to the Klein-Gordon equation in cosmology has been obtained in the small-field excursion approximation, and it turns out that the solution can be written in terms of the confluent hypergeometric limit function. In this work, we derive this result again while showing the details of the calculations and then generalize to the case of two coupled Klein-Gordon equations. We show that the solution of this coupled system can be written in terms of Kummer's hypergeometric limit function while considering minimal assumptions. We carry out a full numerical calculation of the coupled system and compare it to the results from the analytical expressions.

A discussion of two arguments related to Fefferman's Fourier extension theorem in the plane

The Fourier extension conjecture of E. Stein was proved in the plane in 1970 by C. Fefferman, see also Zygmund and Carleson and Sjölin, with simplifications given by other authors later on, in particular by L. Hörmander and T. Tao. We discuss yet two more arguments for this classical theorem on the parabola. The first argument uses C. Fefferman's decoupling together with a decomposition into Haar wavelets. This sets the stage for the second argument whose point of departure is the bilinear characterization of Tao, Vargas and Vega, and relies on the bilinear interplay with the classical wave packet constructions and discrete characterizations with an induction on scales. Each of the above two arguments rely on some form of Fefferman's convolution decoupling and the special nature of the critical planar index 4 as a positive even integer, but the second might be more amenable to weighted generalizations.

Turán problem on the union of three intervals of equal length

This paper addresses the Turán extremal problem on the symmetric three-interval set $Ω_λ= (-1,1) \cup (λ-1,λ+1) \cup (-λ-1,-λ+1)$, $λ\geq 0$. We establish a discrete approximation principle relating the continuous Turán problem on $Ω_λ$ to the discrete Turán problem on an associated finite discrete set. This enables the continuous problem to be exactly expressed as a limit of finite nonnegative trigonometric polynomial problems, which are equivalent to finite semidefinite programs. Using this framework, we compute the Turán constant for integer and rational parameters $λ$. We further analyze the dependence of the Turán constant on $λ$ and derive upper bounds for all $λ> 5$.
