We study the limit distribution of eigenvalues of a Ruelle operator (which is also called the Thurston pushforward operator) for the dynamical system $z \mapsto z^2+c$ when $c<-2$ and tends to $-2$.
By random complex zeroes we mean the zero set of a random entire function whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables, and the variance of the k-th coefficient is 1/k!. This zero set is distribution invariant with respect to isometries of the complex plane. We study large fluctuations of random complex zeroes and show that they obey the asymptotic law that was discovered some time ago by Jancovici, Lebowitz and Manificat for charge fluctuations of a Coulomb system of particles.
Consider a class of functions of one real variable with the following uniqueness property: if a function f(x) from the class vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a quantitative version of this property, e.g. a lower bound for f(x) outside a small exceptional set. Such estimates are well-known and useful for polynomials and analytic functions. In this work we prove similar results for the Denjoy-Carleman and the Bernstein classes of quasianalytic functions.
The goal of this paper is to attract attention of the reader to a dimension-free geometric inequality that can be proved using the classical needle decomposition. This inequality allows us to derive sharp dimension-free estimates for the distribution of values of polynomials in n-dimensional convex bodies. Such estimates, in their turn, lead to a surprising result about the distribution of zeroes of random analytic functions; informally speaking, we show that for simple families of analytic functions, there exists a "typical" distribution of zeroes such that the portion of the family occupied by the functions whose distribution of zeroes deviates from that typical one by some fixed amount, is about Const exp{-size of the deviation}. The paper is essentially self-contained. When choosing the style, we tried to make it an enjoyable reading for both a senior undergraduate student and an expert. As to the question "What is new in the paper?", we beleive that the answer to it is a function of two variables, the first being "what is written" and the second being "who is reading". Since we have no knowledge of the value of the second variable, we can only give the range of answers with the first variable fixed. For the targeted audience it will be the standard range [Nothing, Everything] (with both endpoints included).
This is a companion to our previous paper. Here, we derive local dimension-free estimates for volumes of sub- and super-level sets of analytic functions of several variables.
This is an extended version of notes prepared for the talk at the conference "Rajchman-Zygmund-Marcinkiewicz 2000" based on recent works of the authors.
We present a new approach to the Marcinkiewicz interpolation inequality for the distribution function of the Hilbert transform, and prove an "abstract" version of this inequality. The approach uses "logarithmic determinants" and new estimates of canonical products of genus one.
