Abstract

We prove that functions of bounded variation are not dense in the space of functions of bounded deformation with respect to the strong BD norm. Using alternating Riesz products and directional slicing, we construct on every nonempty open subset of $\R^n$ ($n\ge2$) a continuous, compactly supported BD function that is at positive distance from BV.

Reverse square function estimates for degenerate curves and their applications

Building on the classical work of Córdoba--Fefferman and the recent work of Schippa, we establish $L^4$ reverse square function estimates for functions whose Fourier support is contained in a $δ$-neighborhood of the curve $\{(ξ,|ξ|^a): |ξ|\leq 1\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, for all exponents $a\in(0,\infty)\backslash\{1\}$. As applications, we derive sharp $L^4$ Strichartz estimates on the one-dimensional torus for fractional Schrödinger equations and establish new local smoothing estimates in modulation spaces. In the latter application, orthogonal Strichartz-type estimates also play a crucial role.

Fourier decay and endpoint estimates for lacunary maximal operators

We study endpoint estimates for lacunary maximal operators associated with compactly supported measures. For every $d\geq1$, we construct a compactly supported, absolutely continuous probability measure on $\mathbb R^d$ with polynomial Fourier decay whose associated lacunary maximal operator fails to map $H^1(\mathbb R^d)$ boundedly into $L^{1,\infty}(\mathbb R^d)$. In particular, it fails to be of weak type $(1,1)$. This gives a negative answer to the weak type $(1,1)$ question posed by Seeger and Wright in 2011 and to Open Problems 14 and 15, contributed by Wright at the 2016 Conference in Harmonic Analysis, held at the University of Wisconsin--Madison in honor of Professor Michael Christ.

A proof of Saari's conjecture

We prove Saari's conjecture, which states that for any solution to the classical $n$-body problem that has constant (polar) moment of inertia has to behave as a rotating rigid body. Additionally, we remark how Saari's conjecture can be generalised well beyond the confines of the classical $n$-body problem.
