On Hausdorff dimensions of $k$-point configuration sets and Elekes-R\'onyai type theorems

Abstract

We prove a ''dimension expansion'' version of the Elekes-R\'onyai theorem for trivariate real analytic functions: If $f$ is a trivariate real analytic function, then $f$ is either locally of the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$, or the following is true: whenever a Borel set $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ has Hausdorff dimension $\alpha\in \left(\frac{1}{2},1\right)$, $f(A\times A\times A)$ has dimension significantly larger than that of $A$, i.e. \begin{align*} \dim_Hf(A\times A\times A)\geq \alpha+\varepsilon(\alpha),\quad \text{for some } \varepsilon(\alpha)>0, \end{align*} Moreover, if $\alpha>\frac{2}{3}$, $f(A\times A\times A)$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This is a considerable extension of the result established by Koh, T. Pham, and Shen (J. Funct. Anal. 286 (2024)). We also obtain an alternative proof and an improvement for the Elekes-R\'onyai type theorem for bivariate real analytic functions established by Raz and Zahl (Geom. Funct. Anal. 34 (2024)). We derive these from more general results, showing that various $k$-point configuration sets of thin sets have positive Lebesgue measure by exploiting the optimal $L^2$-based Sobolev estimates for the associated family of Fourier integral operators. Extending the framework developed by Greenleaf, Iosevich, and Taylor (Mathematika 68 (2022), Math. Z. 306 (2024)) to prove Mattila-Sj\"olin type theorems, we obtain Falconer-type results for many configuration sets on which the method would be vacuous if demanding nonempty interior. In particular, when $k=2$, we generalize the Falconer-type result for metric functions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying strong non-vanishing curvature conditions established by Eswarathasan, Iosevich, and Taylor (Adv. Math. 228 (2011)) and the asymmetric Mattila-Sj\"olin type results of Greenleaf, Iosevich, and Taylor (J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021)) to a broader class of smooth functions of asymmetric form.

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.
