Abstract

Consider the partition function S(ε) associated in theory of Renyi dimension to a finite Borel measure μon Euclidean d-space. This partion function S(ε) is the sum of the q-th powers of the measure applied to a partition of d-space into d-cubes of width ε. We further Guerin's investigation of the relation between this partition function and the Lebesgue Lp norm (Lq norm) of the convolution of μagainst an approximate identity of Gaussians. We prove a Lipschitz-type esimate on the partition function. This bound on the partition function leads to results regarding the computation of Renyi dimension. It also shows that the partion function is of O-regular variation. We find situtations where one can or cannot replace the partition function by a discrete version. We discover that the slopes of the least-square best fit linear approximations to the partion function cannot always be used to calculate upper and lower Renyi dimension.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.

Logarithmic oscillatory multipliers and log-subdyadic square functions

We develop square-function estimates for Fourier multipliers whose local oscillation scale is \[ ρ(R)=\frac{R}{(\log R)^{γ-1}}, \qquad γ>1. \] This scale lies strictly between the dyadic scale and every fixed power-subdyadic scale at high frequency. For high-frequency symbols satisfying a localized Sobolev condition on balls of radius comparable to $ρ(R)$, we prove a pointwise square-function estimate and a weighted $L^2$ multiplier inequality. After adjoining a smooth compactly supported low-frequency part, we derive unweighted $L^p$ bounds. The weighted estimate is governed by a logarithmic geometric maximal operator which is strongly bounded above the critical $L^r$ threshold, satisfies weak type at the critical equality, and fails even weak type below it. As a model application, consider \[ L(ξ)=\frac12\log(e^2+|ξ|^2), \qquad m_{γ,β}(ξ)=L(ξ)^{-β}e^{iL(ξ)^γ}. \] For $p=2$, the associated multiplier is bounded on $L^2$ for every $β\geq0$. For $1 d(γ-1)\left|\frac12-\frac1p\right|. \] At the critical equality we obtain the corresponding Lorentz endpoint estimates.
