Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish an infinite dimensional generalization of the Schlesinger system -- a system of PDE's describing isomonodromic deformations of Fuchsian systems. This universal Schlesinger system first appeared in a paper by Korotkin and Samtleben in the finite dimensional case (i.e. when it reduces to the finite dimensional Schlesinger system). We intend here to establish it in its full generality, and to give its geometrical meaning in terms of deformations of Birkhoff factorizations. The Birkhoff factorization we are considering consists in finding a piecewise holomorphic matrix-valued function $Y$ on $\mathbb P^1\smallsetminus\mathbb S^1$ which admits a prescribed multiplicative jump $G : \mathbb S^1\to \text{GL}_N(\mathbb C)$ across the unit circle $\mathbb S^1$. We explain how this factorization can be deformed by the action of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle, which acts by composition on the multiplicative jump $G$. The integrability equations of this "isomonodromic" deformation is given by the universal Schlesinger system, which is then naturally expressed by means of Virasoro generators.

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.
