A Kac-Moody root system and linear ordinary differential equations

Abstract

We show that every irreducible linear differential equations on the Riemann sphere with regular and/or unramified irregular singularities can be transformed into either the trivial equation or a Fuchsian system of $E_8$-fundamental spectral type by a sequence of invertible transformations consisting of confluences, unfoldings, Laplace transformations, gauge transformations and Möbius transformations. The $E_8$-spectral type is uniquely determined by the original equation. A Fuchsian system of $E_8$-fundamental spectral type has three singular points, 0, 1, and $\infty$. The degrees of the minimal polynomials of the residue matrices at 0 and 1 are two and three, respectively, and the sum of the maximal dimensions of eigenspaces of the three residue matrices is not greater than the size of the matrices. The result follows from the correspondence between spectral types of Fuchsian systems and roots of a star-shaped Kac-Moody root system.

On Cone Restriction Estimates in Higher Dimensions

We revisit the Ou-Wang's approach to the cone restriction problem via polynomial partitioning. By recasting their inductive scheme as a recursive algorithm and incorporating the nested polynomial Wolff axioms, we obtain improved bounds for cone restriction estimates in higher dimensions.

Littlewood-Paley and Carleson measure characterizations of Lipschitz spaces adapted to Schrödinger operators

Let $L =-Δ+V$ be a Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 3$, with the potential $V$ being nonnegative and belonging to the reverse Hölder class $RH_q$ for some $q >n/2$. For $0< α<2$, the Lipschitz space $Λ_L^α(\mathbb{R}^n)$ adapted to $L$ is defined as the space of all measurable functions $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that \[ \|f\|_{Λ_L^α}:= \|ρ(\cdot)^{-α}f(\cdot)\|_{L^\infty}+ \sup_{z \in \mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{0\}} \frac{\|f(\cdot + z) + f(\cdot -z) -2 f(\cdot)\|_{L^\infty}}{|z|^α} <\infty, \] where $ρ$ is the critical radius function related to $L$. In this paper, we provide characterizations of $Λ^α_L(\mathbb{R}^n)$ in terms of Littlewood-Paley-type decompositions and Carleson measures, for $0< α< 2 -(n /q)$.

The Szemerédi-Trotter Estimate in Finite Field with its Applications

We prove a sharp Szemerédi-Trotter estimate \[\mathcal{I}(A,\mathcal{L})\lesssim \frac{|A||\mathcal{L}|}{p}+|A|^{2/3}|\mathcal{L}|^{2/3}+|A|+|\mathcal{L}|\] for prime finite field $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_p$ by a new polynomial decomposition theorem. As applications, we first prove the sharp Furstenberg set estimate in $\mathbb{F}^2$. Secondly, we improve sum-product estimate \[\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}\gtrsim\min\{(p|A|)^{1/2},|A|^{5/4}\},\quad A\subset\mathbb{F}.\] Finally, we improve the Fourier restriction estimate $R^*(2\toα)$ holds for $α>\frac{10}{3}$ in $\mathbb{F}^3$ when $p\equiv 3\mod 4$.
