Abstract

We study the thin-shell conjecture for the Schatten classes. In particular, we establish the conjecture for the operator norm; we also improve on the best known bound for the Schatten classes, due to Barthe and Cordero-Erausquin [F. Barthe and D. Cordero-Erausquin, "Invariances in variance estimates", Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society 106 (2013): 33-64], for a few more cases. Moreover, we show that a necessary condition for the conjecture to be true for any of the Schatten classes is a rather strong negative correlation property: this implies of course that, for the cases for which we already have the conjecture (as for example for the operator norm), but in fact also for all the cases for which we can get a better estimate than the one in [F. Barthe and D. Cordero-Erausquin, "Invariances in variance estimates"], this negative correlation property follows. For the proofs, our starting point is techniques that were employed for the Schatten classes with regard to other problems in [H. K\"onig, M. Meyer and A. Pajor, "The isotropy constants of the Schatten classes are bounded", Mathematische Annalen 312 (1998): 773-783] and [O. Gu\'edon and G. Paouris, "Concentration of mass on the Schatten classes", Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincar\'e, Probabilit\'e et Statistiques 43 (2007): 87-99].

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
