The Frisch--Parisi formalism for fluctuations of the Schr\"odinger equation

We consider the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation $u$ in $\mathbb{R}$ when the initial datum tends to the Dirac comb. Let $h_{\text{p}, \delta}(t)$ be the fluctuations in time of $\int\lvert x\rvert^{2\delta}\lvert u(x,t)\rvert^2\,dx$, for $0 < \delta < 1$, after removing a smooth background. We prove that the Frisch--Parisi formalism holds for $H_\delta(t) = \int_{[0,t]}h_{\text{p}, \delta}(2s)\,ds$, which is morally a simplification of the Riemann's non-differentiable curve $R$. Our motivation is to understand the evolution of the vortex filament equation of polygonal filaments, which are related to $R$.

Kato-Ponce estimates for fractional sublaplacians

We give a proof of commutator estimates for fractional powers of the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group. Our approach is based on pointwise and $L^p$ estimates involving square fractional integrals and Littlewood-Paley square functions.

Holomorphic extensions of eigenfunctions on $NA$ groups

Let $ X = G/K $ be a rank one Riemannian symmetric space of noncompact type. In view of the Iwasawa decomposition $ G = NAK $ of the underlying semisimple Lie group, we can also view $ X $ as the solvable extension $ S = NA $ of the Iwasawa group $ N$ which is known to be a $H$-type group. In this work we study the holomorphic extendability of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator $ \Delta_S$ on $ S $ to certain domains in the complexification of the nilpotent group $ N$. We can also do the same for any $H$-type group $ N $ not necessarily an Iwasawa group. The results are accomplished by making use of the connection with solutions of the extension problem for the Laplacian or the sublaplacian on the corresponding $ N$.

Bilinear spherical maximal functions of product type

In this paper we introduce and study a bilinear spherical maximal function of product type in the spirit of bilinear Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund theory. This operator is different from the bilinear spherical maximal function considered by Geba et al. We deal with lacunary and full versions of this operator, and we prove weighted estimates with respect to bilinear weights. Our approach involves sparse forms following ideas by Lacey, but we also use other techniques to handle the particular triplet $(2,2,1)$.

A decomposition of Calder\'on--Zygmund type and some observations on differentiation of integrals on the infinite-dimensional torus

In this note we will show a Calder\'on--Zygmund decomposition associated with a function $f\in L^1(\mathbb{T}^{\omega})$. The idea relies on an adaptation of a more general result by J. L. Rubio de Francia in the setting of locally compact groups. Some related results about differentiation of integrals on the infinite-dimensional torus are also discussed.

On the absolute divergence of Fourier series in the infinite dimensional torus

We present some simple counterexamples, based on quadratic forms in infinitely many variables, showing that the implication $f\in C^{(\infty}(\mathbb{T}^\omega)\Longrightarrow\sum_{\bar{p}\in\mathbb{Z}^\infty}|\widehat{f}(\bar{p})|<\infty$ is false. There are functions of the class $C^{(\infty}(\mathbb{T}^\omega)$ (depending on an infinite number of variables) whose Fourier series diverges absolutely. This fact establishes a significant difference from the finite dimensional case.

On the maximal function associated to the spherical means on the Heisenberg group

In this paper we deal with lacunary and full versions of the spherical maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, for $n\ge 2$. By suitable adaptation of an approach developed by M. Lacey in the Euclidean case, we obtain sparse bounds for these maximal functions, which lead to new unweighted and weighted estimates. In particular, we deduce the $L^p$ boundedness, for $1<p<\infty$, of the lacunary maximal function associated to the spherical means on the Heisenberg group. In order to prove the sparse bounds, we establish $ L^p-L^q $ estimates for local (single scale) variants of the spherical means.

Quantitative weighted estimates for Rubio de Francia's Littlewood--Paley square function

We consider the Rubio de Francia's Littlewood--Paley square function associated with an arbitrary family of intervals in $\mathbb{R}$ with finite overlapping. Quantitative weighted estimates are obtained for this operator. The linear dependence on the characteristic of the weight $[w]_{A_{p/2}}$ turns out to be sharp for $3\le p<\infty$, whereas the sharpness in the range $2<p<3$ remains as an open question. Weighted weak-type estimates in the endpoint $p=2$ are also provided. The results arise as a consequence of a sparse domination shown for these operators, obtained by suitably adapting the ideas coming from Benea (2015) and Culiuc et al. (2016).

Nonlocal discrete diffusion equations and the fractional discrete Laplacian, regularity and applications

The analysis of nonlocal discrete equations driven by fractional powers of the discrete Laplacian on a mesh of size $h>0$ \[ (-\Delta_h)^su=f, \] for $u,f:\mathbb{Z}_h\to\mathbb{R}$, $0<s<1$, is performed. The pointwise nonlocal formula for $(-\Delta_h)^su$ and the nonlocal discrete mean value property for discrete $s$-harmonic functions are obtained. We observe that a characterization of $(-\Delta_h)^s$ as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for a semidiscrete degenerate elliptic local extension problem is valid. Regularity properties and Schauder estimates in discrete H\"older spaces as well as existence and uniqueness of solutions to the nonlocal Dirichlet problem are shown. For the latter, the fractional discrete Sobolev embedding and the fractional discrete Poincar\'e inequality are proved, which are of independent interest. We introduce the negative power (fundamental solution) \[ u=(-\Delta_h)^{-s}f, \] which can be seen as the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map for the semidiscrete extension problem. We then prove the discrete Hardy--Littlewood--Sobolev inequality for $(-\Delta_h)^{-s}$. As applications, the convergence of our fractional discrete Laplacian to the (continuous) fractional Laplacian as $h\to0$ in H\"older spaces is analyzed. Indeed, uniform estimates for the error of the approximation in terms of $h$ under minimal regularity assumptions are obtained. We finally prove that solutions to the Poisson problem for the fractional Laplacian \[ (-\Delta)^sU=F, \] in $\mathbb{R}$, can be approximated by solutions to the Dirichlet problem for our fractional discrete Laplacian, with explicit uniform error estimates in terms of~$h$.

$A_1$ theory of weights for rough homogeneous singular integrals and commutators

Quantitative $A_1-A_\infty$ estimates for rough homogeneous singular integrals $T_{\Omega}$ and commutators of $BMO$ symbols and $T_{\Omega}$ are obtained. In particular the following estimates are proved: % \[ \|T_\Omega \|_{L^p(w)}\le c_{n,p}\|\Omega\|_{L^\infty} [w]_{A_1}^{\frac{1}{p}}\,[w]_{A_{\infty}}^{1+\frac{1}{p'}}\|f\|_{L^p(w)} \] % and % \[ \| [b,T_{\Omega}]f\|_{L^{p}(w)}\leq c_{n,p}\|b\|_{BMO}\|\Omega\|_{L^{\infty}} [w]_{A_1}^{\frac{1}{p}}[w]_{A_{\infty}}^{2+\frac{1}{p'}}\|f\|_{L^{p}\left(w\right)}, \] % for $1<p<\infty$ and $1/p+1/p'=1$.

Hardy-type inequalities for fractional powers of the Dunkl--Hermite operator

We prove Hardy-type inequalities for a fractional Dunkl--Hermite operator which incidentally give Hardy inequalities for the fractional harmonic oscillator as well. The idea is to use $h$-harmonic expansions to reduce the problem in the Dunkl--Hermite context to the Laguerre setting. Then, we push forward a technique based on a non-local ground representation, initially developed by R. L. Frank, E. H. Lieb and R. Seiringer in the Euclidean setting, to get a Hardy inequality for the fractional-type Laguerre operator. The above-mentioned method is shown to be adaptable to an abstract setting, whenever there is a "good" spectral theorem and an integral representation for the fractional operators involved.

Revisiting floating bodies

The conic sections, as well as the solids obtained by revolving these curves, and many of their surprising properties, were already studied by Greek mathematicians since at least the fourth century B.C. Some of these properties come to the light, or are rediscovered, from time to time. In this paper we characterize the conic sections as the plane curves whose tangent lines cut off from a certain similar curve segments of constant area. We also characterize some quadrics as the surfaces whose tangent planes cut off from a certain similar surface compact sets of constant volume. Our work is developed in the most general multidimensional case.

Quantitative weighted estimates for rough homogeneous singular integrals

We consider homogeneous singular kernels, whose angular part is bounded, but need not have any continuity. For the norm of the corresponding singular integral operators on the weighted space $L^2(w)$, we obtain a bound that is quadratic in the $A_2$ constant $[w]_{A_2}$. We do not know if this is sharp, but it is the best known quantitative result for this class of operators. The proof relies on a classical decomposition of these operators into smooth pieces, for which we use a quantitative elaboration of Lacey's dyadic decomposition of Dini-continuous operators: the dependence of constants on the Dini norm of the kernels is crucial to control the summability of the series expansion of the rough operator. We conclude with applications and conjectures related to weighted bounds for powers of the Beurling transform.

Hardy's inequality for fractional powers of the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group

We prove Hardy inequalities for the conformally invariant fractional powers of the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. We prove two versions of such inequalities depending on whether the weights involved are non-homogeneous or homogeneous. In the first case, the constant arising in the Hardy inequality turns out to be optimal. In order to get our results, we will use ground state representations. The key ingredients to obtain the latter are some explicit integral representations for the fractional powers of the sublaplacian and a generalized result by M. Cowling and U. Haagerup. The approach to prove the integral representations is via the language of semigroups. As a consequence of the Hardy inequalities we also obtain versions of Heisenberg uncertainty inequality for the fractional sublaplacian.

Fractional discrete Laplacian versus discretized fractional Laplacian

We define and study some properties of the fractional powers of the discrete Laplacian $$(-\Delta_h)^s,\quad\hbox{on}~\mathbb{Z}_h = h\mathbb{Z},$$ for $h>0$ and $0<s<1$. A comparison between our fractional discrete Laplacian and the \textit{discretized} continuous fractional Laplacian as $h\to0$ is carried out. We get estimates in $\ell^\infty$ for the error of the approximation in terms of $h$ under minimal regularity assumptions. Moreover, we provide a pointwise formula with an explicit kernel and deduce H\"older estimates for $(-\Delta_h)^s$. A study of the negative powers (or discrete fractional integral) $(-\Delta_h)^{-s}$ is also sketched. Our analysis is mainly performed in dimension one. Nevertheless, we show certain asymptotic estimates for the kernel in dimension two that can be extended to higher dimensions. Some examples are plotted to illustrate the comparison in both one and two dimensions.

Fractional Laplacian on the torus

We study the fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^{σ/2}$ on the $n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq1$. First, we present a general extension problem that describes \textit{any} fractional power $L^γ$, $γ>0$, where $L$ is a general nonnegative selfadjoint operator defined in an $L^2$-space. This generalizes to all $γ>0$ and to a large class of operators the previous known results by Caffarelli and Silvestre. In particular it applies to the fractional Laplacian on the torus. The extension problem is used to prove interior and boundary Harnack's inequalities for $(-Δ)^{σ/2}$, when $0<σ<2$. We deduce regularity estimates on Hölder, Lipschitz and Zygmund spaces. Finally, we obtain the pointwise integro-differential formula for the operator. Our method is based on the semigroup language approach.

Mixed norm estimates for the Ces\`aro means associated with Dunkl--Hermite expansions

Our main goal in this article is to study mixed norm estimates for the Ces\`{a}ro means associated with Dunkl--Hermite expansions on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These expansions arise when one consider the Dunkl--Hermite operator (or Dunkl harmonic oscillator) $H_{\kappa}:=-\Delta_{\kappa}+|x|^2$, where $\Delta_{\kappa}$ stands for the Dunkl--Laplacian. It is shown that the desired mixed norm estimates are equivalent to vector-valued inequalities for a sequence of Ces\`{a}ro means for Laguerre expansions with shifted parameter. In order to obtain the latter, we develop an argument to extend these operators for complex values of the parameters involved and apply a version of three lines lemma.
