Abstract

We prove sharp nonlinear stability estimates for the squared-distance quantization energy of the body-centered cubic lattice. The reference Hessian has optimal coercivity constant $1/96$ relative to nearest-neighbor displacement differences, uniformly over all finite-index periods. We classify all equality modes and prove cubic cancellation on their span. This yields nonlinear stability in a neighborhood independent of the period, including volume-preserving strain. The loss in the sharp energy coefficient is at most quadratic for each fixed period and exactly linear when all periods are allowed. We also determine the transition between these regimes. Finally, we prove global optimality and uniqueness of BCC, up to rigid motions, among two-site configurations with rectangular period cells of fixed volume.

A quantitative Borg-Levinson theorem for a large class of unbounded potentials

We prove a quantitative Borg-Levinson theorem for a broad class of unbounded potentials when the spatial dimension is five or greater. In the final section, we outline the modifications required to extend the main result to the anisotropic case.

On the dispersive estimates for the discrete Schrödinger equation on a honeycomb lattice

The discrete Schrödinger equation on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice is a fundamental tight-binding approximation model that describes the propagation of waves on graphene. For free evolution, we first show that the degenerate frequencies of the dispersion relation are completely characterized by three symmetric periodic curves (Theorem 2.1), and that the three curves meet at Dirac points where conical singularities appear (see Figure 2.1). Based on this observation, we prove the $L^1\to L^\infty$ dispersion estimates for the linear flow depending on the frequency localization (Theorem 2.3). Collecting all, we obtain the dispersion estimate with $O(|t|^{-2/3})$ decay as well as Strichartz estimates. As an application, we prove small data scattering for a nonlinear model (Theorem 2.10). The proof of the key dispersion estimates is based on the associated oscillatory integral estimates with degenerate phases and conical singularities at Dirac points. Our proof is direct and uses only elementary methods.

Upper bound on heat kernels of finite particle systems of Keller-Segel type

We obtain an upper bound on the heat kernel of the finite particle approximation of the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis. The proof exploits a connection with certain non-local operators. We also obtain upper heat kernel bounds for related systems of interacting Brownian and stable particles that exhibit similar local blow-up effects.
