Abstract

Let $A$ be an $\alpha$-H\"older cocycle over a transitive two-sided subshift of finite type, and assume that $A$ is strongly bunched. We prove that if there exist $k\in\{1,\ldots,d-1\}$ and $c>0$ such that \[ \lambda_k(p)-\lambda_{k+1}(p)\ge c \] for every periodic point $p$, then $A$ admits a dominated splitting of index $k$. Thus, under strong bunching, a uniform asymptotic gap in the Lyapunov spectrum of periodic measures implies a uniform geometric splitting along all orbit segments. This extends the periodic-gap criterion of Kassel--Potrie from locally constant cocycles to H\"older cocycles in arbitrary dimension, and extends the two-dimensional fiber-bunched result of Velozo to higher dimensions under the stronger bunching assumption.

A Supercritical Problem in Dimension Two

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ be a smooth bounded domain containing the origin and invariant under reflection across the coordinate axes, and let $0<\lambda<\lambda_1(\Omega)$, where $\Lambda_1 (\Omega)$ is the first eigenvalue for $-\Delta$ on $\Omega$ under Dirichlet boundary conditions. For every fixed integer $k\g...

Finiteness of null subvarieties and optimal destabilizers for the J-equation

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $(\alpha,\beta)$ be a pair of K\"ahler classes. We show that when $(\alpha,\beta)$ is $J$-semistable, the collection of positive-dimensional irreducible $J$-null subvarieties is finite. We also obtain a uniform positive lower bound for the normalized $J$-slope of every irreduc...

A Levin-Milman theorem for Young variation

In 1940, Levin\footnotemark[1] and Milman proved that a closed linear subspace of $C[0,1]$ whose elements all have bounded Jordan variation must be finite-dimensional. We prove its analogue for variation in the sense of Young and, more generally, for every finite-valued nondecreasing gauge $\varphi:[0,\infty)\to[0,\inf...

Maximal Regularity and Existence for Superquadratic Parabolic Hamilton--Jacobi Equations: The Endpoint case

We establish interior maximal $L^{q_c}$-regularity for bounded strong solutions of $u_t-\Delta u+|Du|^\gamma=f$ in $\mathbb{T}^d\times(0,T)$, where $d\geq 2$, $\gamma>2$, and $q_c=(d+2)(\gamma-1)/\gamma$. The estimates are uniform for uniformly bounded families of solutions whose source terms range over a bounded, unif...

Fixed points for uniformly asymptotically H\"older-Lipschitz mappings

In this work, we show that if $K$ is a nonempty, closed, bounded, and convex subset of $X$ and $1\leq \gamma<\sqrt{N(X)},$ where $N(X)$ denotes the Bynum normal structure coefficient, then every uniformly asymptotically H\"older $\gamma$-Lipschitz mapping $T\colon K\to K$ has a fixed point. To achieve this, it was nece...

On the Quantitative Bounds of Nonlinear Roth Theorem

We prove that any subset $A \subseteq \{1, \dots, N\}$ lacking non-trivial polynomial progressions $(x, x + y, x + y^2)$ satisfies $\lvert A \rvert \le CN \exp\bigl(-c(\log \log N)^\beta\bigr)$ for effective absolute constants $C, c, \beta>0$. The argument develops a density increment framework localized to anisotropic...
