Title: Weighted estimates for one-sided martingale transforms
Let $$ Tf =\sum _{I} \varepsilon _I \langle f,h_{I^+}\rangle h_{I^-}$$. Here, $$ \lvert \varepsilon _I\rvert =1 $$, and $$ h_J$$ is the Haar function defined on dyadic interval $ J$. We show that, for instance, $$\displaystyle \lVert T \rVert _{L ^{2} (w) \to L ^{2} (w)} \lesssim [w] _{A_2 ^{+}} .$$ Above, we use the one-sided $$ A_2$$ characteristic for the weight $ w$. This is an instance of a one-sided $$ A_2$$ conjecture. Our proof of this fact is difficult, as the very quick known proofs of the $$ A_2$$ theorem do not seem to apply in the one-sided setting.  more » « less

  1. Abstract A bipartite graph $$H = \left (V_1, V_2; E \right )$$ with $$\lvert V_1\rvert + \lvert V_2\rvert = n$$ is semilinear if $$V_i \subseteq \mathbb {R}^{d_i}$$ for some $$d_i$$ and the edge relation E consists of the pairs of points $$(x_1, x_2) \in V_1 \times V_2$$ satisfying a fixed Boolean combination of s linear equalities and inequalities in $$d_1 + d_2$$ variables for some s . We show that for a fixed k , the number of edges in a $$K_{k,k}$$ -free semilinear H is almost linear in n , namely $$\lvert E\rvert = O_{s,k,\varepsilon }\left (n^{1+\varepsilon }\right )$$ for any $$\varepsilon> 0$$ ; and more generally, $$\lvert E\rvert = O_{s,k,r,\varepsilon }\left (n^{r-1 + \varepsilon }\right )$$ for a $$K_{k, \dotsc ,k}$$ -free semilinear r -partite r -uniform hypergraph. As an application, we obtain the following incidence bound: given $$n_1$$ points and $$n_2$$ open boxes with axis-parallel sides in $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ such that their incidence graph is $$K_{k,k}$$ -free, there can be at most $$O_{k,\varepsilon }\left (n^{1+\varepsilon }\right )$$ incidences. The same bound holds if instead of boxes, one takes polytopes cut out by the translates of an arbitrary fixed finite set of half-spaces. We also obtain matching upper and (superlinear) lower bounds in the case of dyadic boxes on the plane, and point out some connections to the model-theoretic trichotomy in o -minimal structures (showing that the failure of an almost-linear bound for some definable graph allows one to recover the field operations from that graph in a definable manner).

  2. Given finite sets $$X_1,\dotsc,X_m$$ in $$\mathbb{R}^d$$ (with $$d$$ fixed), we prove that there are respective subsets $$Y_1,\dotsc,Y_m$$ with $$\lvert Y_i\rvert \geq \frac{1}{poly(m)}\lvert X_i\rvert$$ such that, for $$y_1\in Y_1,\dotsc,y_m\in Y_m$$, the orientations of the\linebreak $(d+1)$-tuples from $$y_1,\dotsc,y_m$$ do not depend on the actual choices of points $$y_1,\dotsc,y_m$$. This generalizes previously known case when all the sets $$X_i$$ are equal. Furthermore, we give a construction showing that polynomial dependence on $$m$$ is unavoidable, as well as an algorithm that approximates the best-possible constants in this result.

  3. Monotonicity testing of Boolean functions on the hypergrid, $$f:[n]^d \to \{0,1\}$$, is a classic topic in property testing. Determining the non-adaptive complexity of this problem is an important open question. For arbitrary $$n$$, [Black-Chakrabarty-Seshadhri, SODA 2020] describe a tester with query complexity $$\widetilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-4/3}d^{5/6})$$. This complexity is independent of $$n$$, but has a suboptimal dependence on $$d$$. Recently, [Braverman-Khot-Kindler-Minzer, ITCS 2023] and [Black-Chakrabarty-Seshadhri, STOC 2023] describe $$\widetilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-2} n^3\sqrt{d})$$ and $$\widetilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-2} n\sqrt{d})$$-query testers, respectively. These testers have an almost optimal dependence on $$d$$, but a suboptimal polynomial dependence on $$n$$. \smallskip In this paper, we describe a non-adaptive, one-sided monotonicity tester with query complexity $$O(\varepsilon^{-2} d^{1/2 + o(1)})$$, \emph{independent} of $$n$$. Up to the $$d^{o(1)}$$-factors, our result resolves the non-adaptive complexity of monotonicity testing for Boolean functions on hypergrids. The independence of $$n$$ yields a non-adaptive, one-sided $$O(\varepsilon^{-2} d^{1/2 + o(1)})$$-query monotonicity tester for Boolean functions $$f:\mathbb{R}^d \to \{0,1\}$$ associated with an arbitrary product measure.

  4. A bstract As a black hole evaporates, each outgoing Hawking quantum carries away some of the black holes asymptotic charges associated with the extended Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group. These include the Poincaré charges of energy, linear momentum, intrinsic angular momentum, and orbital angular momentum or center-of-mass charge, as well as extensions of these quantities associated with supertranslations and super-Lorentz transformations, namely supermomentum, superspin and super center-of-mass charges (also known as soft hair). Since each emitted quantum has fluctuations that are of order unity, fluctuations in the black hole’s charges grow over the course of the evaporation. We estimate the scale of these fluctuations using a simple model. The results are, in Planck units: (i) The black hole position has a uncertainty of $$ \sim {M}_i^2 $$ ∼ M i 2 at late times, where M i is the initial mass (previously found by Page). (ii) The black hole mass M has an uncertainty of order the mass M itself at the epoch when M ∼ $$ {M}_i^{2/3} $$ M i 2 / 3 , well before the Planck scale is reached. Correspondingly, the time at which the evaporation ends has an uncertainty of order $$ \sim {M}_i^2 $$ ∼ M i 2 . (iii) The supermomentum and superspin charges are not independent but are determined from the Poincaré charges and the super center-of-mass charges. (iv) The supertranslation that characterizes the super center-of-mass charges has fluctuations at multipole orders l of order unity that are of order unity in Planck units. At large l , there is a power law spectrum of fluctuations that extends up to l ∼ $$ {M}_i^2/M $$ M i 2 / M , beyond which the fluctuations fall off exponentially, with corresponding total rms shear tensor fluctuations ∼ M i M − 3/2 .

  5. Abstract We study quantitative relationships between the triangle removal lemma and several of its variants. One such variant, which we call the triangle-free lemma , states that for each $$\epsilon>0$$ there exists M such that every triangle-free graph G has an $$\epsilon$$ -approximate homomorphism to a triangle-free graph F on at most M vertices (here an $$\epsilon$$ -approximate homomorphism is a map $$V(G) \to V(F)$$ where all but at most $$\epsilon \left\lvert{V(G)}\right\rvert^2$$ edges of G are mapped to edges of F ). One consequence of our results is that the least possible M in the triangle-free lemma grows faster than exponential in any polynomial in $$\epsilon^{-1}$$ . We also prove more general results for arbitrary graphs, as well as arithmetic analogues over finite fields, where the bounds are close to optimal.
