Abstract

Generalized Darboux-Halphen (gDH) systems, which form a versatile class of three-dimensional homogeneous quadratic differential systems (HQDS's), are introduced. They generalize the Darboux-Halphen (DH) systems considered by other authors, in that any non-DH gDH system is affinely but not projectively covariant. It is shown that the gDH class supports a rich collection of rational solution-preserving maps: morphisms that transform one gDH system to another. The proof relies on a bijection between (i) the solutions with noncoincident components of any `proper' gDH system, and (ii) the solutions of a generalized Schwarzian equation (gSE) associated to it, which generalizes the Schwarzian equation (SE) familiar from the conformal mapping of hyperbolic triangles. The gSE can be integrated parametrically in terms of the solutions of a Papperitz equation, which is a generalized Gauss hypergeometric equation. Ultimately, the rational gDH morphisms come from hypergeometric transformations. A complete classification of proper non-DH gDH systems with the Painleve property (PP) is also carried out, showing how some are related by rational morphisms. The classification follows from that of non-SE gSE's with the PP, due to Garnier and Carton-LeBrun. As examples, several non-DH gDH systems with the PP are integrated explicitly in terms of elementary and elliptic functions.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
