Almost everywhere and norm convergence of Approximate Identity and Fejér means of trigonometric and Vilenkin systems

In this paper, we investigate very general approximation kernels with special properties, called an approximate identity, and prove almost everywhere and norm convergence of these general methods, which consists of a class of summability methods and provide norm and a.e. convergence of these summability methods with respect to the trigonometric system. Investigations of these summations can be used to obtain norm convergence of Fejér means with respect to the Vilenkin system also, but these methods are not useful to study a.e. convergence in this case, because of some special properties of the kernels of Fejér means. Despite these different properties we give alternative methods to prove almost everywhere convergence of Fejér means with respect to the Vilenkin systems.

The Landis conjecture on exponential decay

Consider a solution $u$ to $Δu +Vu=0$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $V$ is real-valued, measurable and $|V|\leq 1$. If $|u(x)| \leq \exp(-C |x| \log^{1/2}|x|)$, $|x|>2$, where $C$ is a sufficiently large absolute constant, then $u\equiv 0$.

Maximization of higher order eigenvalues and applications

The present paper is a follow up of our paper \cite{nS}. We investigate here the maximization of higher order eigenvalues in a conformal class on a smooth compact boundaryless Riemannian surface. Contrary to the case of the first nontrivial eigenvalue as shown in \cite{nS}, bubbling phenomena appear.

Liouville theorems for the Navier-Stokes equations and applications

We study bounded ancient solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. These are the solutions which are defined for all past time. In two space dimensions we prove that such solutions are either constant or functions of time only, depending on the exact definition of admissible solutions. The general three dimensional problem seems to be out of reach of existing techniques, but partial results can be obtained in the case of axi-symmetric solutions. We apply these results to some scenarios of potential singularity formation for axi-symmetric solutions.

Limit sets for complete minimal immersions

In this paper we study the behaviour of the limit set of complete proper compact minimal immersions in a regular domain G of R^3. We prove that the second fundamental form of the boundary surface of G is nonnegatively defined at every point of the limit set of such immersions.

How large can the first eigenvalue be on a surface of genus two?

Sharp upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a surface of a fixed area are known only in genera zero and one. We investigate the genus two case and conjecture that the first eigenvalue is maximized on a singular surface which is realized as a double branched covering over a sphere. The six ramification points are chosen in such a way that this surface has a complex structure of the Bolza surface. We prove that our conjecture follows from a lower bound on the first eigenvalue of a certain mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problem on a half-disk. The latter can be studied numerically, and we present conclusive evidence supporting the conjecture.
