Apéry's theorem and problems for the values of Riemann's zeta function and their $q$-analogues
This monograph is intended to be considered as my habilitation (D.Sc.) thesis; because of that and as everything has already appeared in English, it is performed exclusively in Russian. The monograph comprises a detailed introduction and seven chapters that represent part of my work influenced by Apéry's proof from 1978 of the irrationality of $ζ(2)$ and $ζ(3)$, the values of Riemann's zeta function. Chapter 1 is about "at least one of the four numbers $ζ(5)$, $ζ(7)$, $ζ(9)$ and $ζ(11)$ is irrational" (based in part on arXiv:math.NT/0206176). Chapter 2 explains a connection between the generalized multiple integrals introduced by Beukers in his proof of Apéry's result and the very-well-poised hypergeometric series; it is based on arXiv:math.CA/0206177. Chapter 3 surveys some arithmetic and hypergeometric $q$-analogies and establishes the irrationality measure $μ(ζ_q(2))<3.518876$ for a $q$-analogue of $ζ(2)$; it closely follows the text in Sb. Math. 193 (2002), 1151--1172, but also incorporates the sharper analysis of the hypergeometric construction by Smet and Van Assche (arXiv:0809.2501 [math.CA]) to produce the improvement upon the 2002 result. Chapter 4 is devoted to the measure $μ(ζ(2))<5.095412$ and is based on arXiv:1310.1526 [math.NT]; Chapter 5 is establishing the estimate $||(3/2)^k||>0.5803^k$ for the distance from $(3/2)^k$ to the nearest integer, with the English version published in J. Théor. Nombres Bordeaux 19 (2007), 313--325. Chapter 6 reproduces the solution (from arXiv:math.CA/0311195) to the problem of Asmus Schmidt about generalized Apéry's numbers. Finally, Chapter 7 is about expressing the special $L$-values as periods (in the sense of Kontsevich and Zagier), in particular, as values of hypergeometric functions; it is based on the publication in Springer Proc. Math. Stat. 43 (2013), 381--395.

Two weight estimate for the Hilbert transform and corona decomposition for non-doubling measures
This article was written in 2005 and subsequently lost (at least by the third author). Recently it resurfaced due to one of the colleagues to whom a hard copy has been sent in 2005. We consider here a problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of two weight Calderón-Zygmund operators. We give such necessary and sufficient conditions in very natural terms, if the operator is the Hilbert transform, and the weights satisfy some very natural condition. The condition on weights was lifted in a recent paper of Michael Lacey, Eric Sawyer and Ignacio Uriarte-Tuero: "A characterization of the two weight norm inequality for the Hilbert transform", arXiv:1001.4043 [math.CA] 31 January 2010. The paper of Lacey--Sawyer-Uriarte-Tuero alliviated the "pivotal" condition used in a present article and replaced it by the very interesting and correct energy condition, which, unlike the "pivotal" condition turned out to be also necessary. The paper of Lacey-Sawyer-Uriarte-Tuero used the present article in its main aspect. The thrust of the present article is to use the methods of nonhomogeneous Harmonoc Analysis together with a several paraproducts arising from a certain stopping time argument. In view of the importance of the present article for Lacey--Sawyer-Uriarte-Tuero's paper arXiv:1001.4043 [math.CA] 31 January 2010, we present it to the attention of the reader. Drawing no parallels, "Darwin spent 1838-1859 getting ready to publish "On the Origin of Species" without actually publishing it, only brooding over beaks of finches".

Sharp $A_2$ estimates of Haar shifts via Bellman function
We use the Bellman function method to give an elementary proof of a sharp weighted estimate for the Haar shifts, which is linear in the $A_2$ norm of the weight and in the complexity of the shift. Together with the representation of a general Calderón--Zygmund operator as a weighted average (over all dyadic lattices) of Haar shifts, (cf. arXiv:1010.0755v2[math.CA], arXiv:1007.4330v1[math.CA]) it gives a significantly simpler proof of the so-called the $A_2$ conjecture. The main estimate is a very general fact about concave functions, which can be very useful in other problems of martingale Harmonic Analysis. Concave functions of such type appear as the Bellman functions for bounds on the bilinear form of martingale multipliers, thus the main estimate allows for the transference of the results for simplest possible martingale multipliers to more general martingale transforms. Note that (although this is not important for the $A_2$ conjecture for general Calderón--Zygmund operators) this elementary proof gives the best known (linear) growth in the complexity of the shift.

A Faster Product for Pi and a New Integral for ln(Pi/2)
From a global series for the alternating zeta function, we derive an infinite product for pi that resembles the product for $e^γ$ ($γ$ is Euler's constant) in math.CA/0306008. (An alternate derivation accelerates Wallis's product by Euler's transformation.) We account for the resemblance via an analytic continuation of the polylogarithm. An application is a 1-dim. analog for ln(pi/2) of the 2-dim. integrals for ln(4/pi) and $γ$ in math.CA/0211148.

Lectures on Nehari's Theorem on the Polydisk
We give a leisurely proof of a result of Ferguson--Lacey (math.CA/0104144) and Lacey--Terwelleger (math.CA/0601192) on a Nehari theorem for "little" Hankel operators on a polydisk. If H_b is a little Hankel operator with symbol b on product Hardy space we have || H_b || \simeq || b ||_{BMO} where BMO is the product BMO space identified by Chang and Fefferman. This article begins with the classical Nehari theorem, and presents the necessary background for the proof of the extension above. The proof of the extension is an induction on parameters, with a bootstrapping argument. Some of the more technical details of the earlier proofs are now seen as consequences of a paraproduct theory.

Carnot-Carathéodory metrics associated to degenerate elliptic operators in three dimensions
This note is a companion paper to arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA]. Here we generalize some of the geometric results of arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA] to the case of a $3\times 3$ matrix function $A(x)\approx \mathrm{diag}\{1,f(x_1), g(x_1)\}$. More precisely, we make explicit calculations of the geodesics in the Carnot-Carathéodory space associated to $A$, and provide estimates on the Lebesgue measures of metric balls centered at the origin in that space.

Resolution of singularities, asymptotic expansions of oscillatory integrals, and related phenomena
The elementary resolution of singularities algorithm of the author's earlier paper (math.CA/0609217) is developed further, replacing the quasibump functions in the blown up coordinates with the characteristic function of a rectangle times a smooth function. Such functions are easier to deal with, and as application the existence of asymptotic expansions for oscillatory integrals and related objects is given an elementary proof. In addition, some more detailed information about these expansions is given.

On functions of Jacobi-Weierstrass (I) and equation of Painleve
The paper is an essentially extended version of the work math.CA/0601371, supplemented with an application. We present new results in the theory of classical $θ$-functions of Jacobi and $σ$-functions of Weierstrass: ordinary differential equations and series expansions. We also give the extension of canonical $θ$-functions and consider an application to the sixth Painlevé equation (P6). Picard--Hitchin's general solution of P6 is represented explicitly in a form of logarithmic derivative of a corresponding $τ$-function (Painlevé's form).

Shapiro's Theorem for subspaces
In a previous paper (see arXiv:1003.3411 [math.CA]), we investigated the existence of an element x of a quasi-Banach space X whose errors of best approximation by a given approximation scheme (A_n) (defined by E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n} \|x - a_n\|) decay arbitrarily slowly. In this work, we consider the question of whether x witnessing the slowness rate of approximation can be selected in a prescribed subspace of X. In many particular cases, the answer turns out to be positive.

Mahler equations and rationality
We give another proof of a result of Adamczewski and Bell concerning Mahler equations: A formal power series satisfying a $p-$ and a $q-$Mahler equation over ${\mathbb C}(x)$ with multiplicatively independent positive integers $p$ and $q$ is a rational function. The proof presented here is self-contained and is essentially a compilation of proofs contained in the recent preprint "Consistent systems of linear differential and difference equations", arXiv:1605.02616 [math.CA], by the same authors.

Estimates for Oscillatory Integral Operators
This thesis is devoted to asymptotic norm estimates for oscillatory integral operators acting on the L^2 space of functions of one real variable. The operators in question have compact support and an oscillatory kernel of the form exp(i Lambda S(x,y)), where S(x,y) is a smooth real phase function, and Lambda is a large real number. I study how the norm of the operator decays as Lambda goes to infinity, and how the rate of this decay can be determined from the properties of the phase function S(x,y). For C^infinity phase functions I prove results formulated in terms of the Newton polygon of S(x,y), improving previously known estimates by Phong and Stein, and Seeger. My estimates are best possible or differ from the best possible ones by at most a power of log Lambda. Main results of the thesis are based on a geometric analysis of the zero set of the Hessian S''_{xy} using Puiseux decompositions, and have appeared before in [math.CA/9911153]. New results obtained by a different method based on a stopping time argument are also included.

Lower bounds for quasianalytic functions, II. The Bernstein quasianalytic functions
Let F be a class of functions with the uniqueness property: if a function f in F 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| outside a small exceptional set. Such estimates are well-known and useful for polynomials, complex- and real-analytic functions, exponential polynomials. In this work we prove similar results for the Denjoy-Carleman and the Bernstein classes of quasianalytic functions. In the first part (this arXiv:math.CA/0208233), we considered quasianalytically smooth functions. Here, we deal with classes of functions characterized by exponentially fast approximation by polynomials whose degrees belong to a given very lacunar sequence. We also prove the polynomial spreading lemma and a comparison lemma which are of a certain interest on their own.

New Vacca-Type Rational Series for Euler's Constant and Its "Alternating" Analog ln(4/Pi)
In math.CA/0211148 we observed that $\ln(4/ π)$ is an "alternating" analog of Euler's constant $γ$. Here we use the binary expansion of an integer to give a rational series for $\ln(4/ π)$ analogous to Vacca's series for $γ$. Also, using a known generalization of Vacca's series to other bases, we accelerate Addison's series for $γ$. Along the way, we give new proofs of Vacca's and Addison's formulas.

On a Lipschitz Variant of the Kakeya Maximal Function
In a prior work [Hilbert transform along smooth families of lines math.CA/0310345] the authors introduced a variant of the Kakeya maximal function associated with Lipschitz maps from the plane into the unit circle. In this paper, we improve the known estimates for this maximal operator--and raise the conjecture that the bounds established are optimal.

An application of a local version of Chang's theorem
We prove a theorem claimed in math.CA/0605519 which asserts that if A is a subset of a compact abelian group G with density of a particular (natural, although technical) form then the A(G)-norm (that is the sum of the absolute values of the Fourier transform) of the characteristic function of A cannot be too small.

Small Ball and Discrepancy Inequalities
This is a comprehensive set of notes on the ArXiV paper math.CA/0609815 by Dmitry Bilyk and the author. The focus of that paper is a new inequality for sums of hyperbolic Haar functions in three variables, extending a famous result of J Beck from 1987. This is an improvement on what is known as the Small Ball Conjecture. In this paper, that result is proved, in a more leisurely fashion and additional remarks. In addition, background material is gathered together, including a complete proof of the necessary Harmonic Analysis; a summary of known results on the Small Ball inequality; Irregularities of Distribution; the relationship with conjectures in Approximation Theory and Probability Theory.

Derived Schwarz map of the hypergeometric differential equation and a parallel family of flat fronts
In the previous paper (math.CA/0609196) we defined a map, called the hyperbolic Schwarz map, from the one-dimensional projective space to the three-dimensional hyperbolic space by use of solutions of the hypergeometric differential equation, and thus obtained closed flat surfaces belonging to the class of flat fronts. We continue the study of such flat fronts in this paper. First, we introduce the notion of derived Schwarz maps of the hypergeometric differential equation and, second, we construct a parallel family of flat fronts connecting the classical Schwarz map and the derived Schwarz map.
