Abstract

For every $1\leq p<\infty$ and even integer $m\geq4$, we determine the optimal order of the $p$-moment torus inequality for $L_1$: it is $m^p n^{(1-p/2)_+}+n$, with comparison constants independent of $p,m,n$ after taking $p$-th roots. Consequently, for every $2\leq q<\infty$ and $1\leq p\leq q$, the corresponding metric cotype inequality holds at the sharp scale $m=O(n^{1/q})$. In particular, the quadratic inequality holds with $m=O(\sqrt{n})$, answering the $L_1$ sharp metric cotype question of Mendel and Naor. The proof combines finite cut representations with a nonlinear smoothing estimate and an exact ternary rounding identity.

Convex-Hull Instability of the $\gamma_2$-Functional in $L^p$

For every $2<p<\infty$ and every integer $r\ge2$, we construct a finite set $T\subseteq S_{L^p[0,1]}$ such that $|T|\le2^{Cr^2}$, $\gamma_2(T)\le Cr$, and $\gamma_2(\conv T)\ge c r^{3/2-1/p}$. Consequently, for every fixed $p>2$, both estimates in Talagrand's Research Problem~2.11.3 fail in each of the spaces $L^p[0,1]...

On low-dimensional uniform rectifiability in Heisenberg groups - Part 2

Let $1\leq k\leq n$. We prove that $k$-dimensional intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ satisfy a geometric lemma $\mathrm{GLem}(\beta_{2,\mathcal{V}_k},p)$ for horizontal $\beta$-numbers with an exponent $p=p(k)$. Previously, this result was known only in the case $k=1$; our proof recovers...

Input-Endpoint Compactness and Essential Norms for Weighted Bilinear Hardy Operators

We study compactness of the product of two weighted Hardy primitives into $L^q(u)$, $0<q<\infty$, on the input boundary $1\le p_1,p_2\le\infty$, where at least one input exponent is $1$ or $\infty$. For $L^1\times L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, boundedness implies compactness when $q<p/(p+1)$. For $L^1\times L^1$, the correspondi...

A solution to Lu's second gap conjecture

Let $M^n\to\mathbb{S}^{n+q}(1)$ be a closed connected minimal immersion, where $n\ge3$, and set $Q=S+\lambda_2$, with $S=|h|^2$ and $\lambda_2$ the second largest eigenvalue of Lu's fundamental matrix. We determine the sharp codimension range for Lu's second-gap conjecture. For every $2\le q\le n$, there exists $\gamma...

Non-radial Dunkl multipliers at the $L^2$-Sobolev threshold

We prove a H\"ormander multiplier theorem for the Dunkl transform associated with an arbitrary finite reflection group. Uniform $H^\sigma(\mathbb{R}^N)$ bounds for the normalised dyadic pieces of a measurable symbol, with $\sigma>\mathbf N/2$ and $\mathbf N$ the homogeneous dimension, imply $L^p(d\omega)$ boundedness f...

Sharp spherical extension theorem in $\mathbb F_q^{2m}$ and applications

Let $q$ be an odd prime power and $m\geq 1$. Let $Q$ be a nondegenerate quadratic form on $\mathbb F_q^{2m}$. For every sphere $S_j=\{Q=j\}$ with $j\in \mathbb F_q^\times$, we prove the sharp extension estimate $R_{S_j}^*(2\to r)\lesssim_m1$ for $r\ge 2(m+1)/m$, uniformly in $q$, $Q$, and $j$. As an application, we sho...
