1. On big pieces approximations of parabolic hypersurfaces

   Let \(\Sigma\) be a closed subset of \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) which is parabolic Ahlfors-David regular and assume that \(\Sigma\) satisfies a 2-sided corkscrew condition. Assume, in addition, that \(\Sigma\) is either time-forwards Ahlfors-David regular, time-backwards Ahlfors-David regular, or parabolic uniform rectifiable. We then first prove that \(\Sigma\) satisfies a weak synchronized two cube condition. Based on this we are able to revisit the argument of Nyström and Strömqvist (2009) and prove that \(\Sigma\) contain suniform big pieces of Lip(1,1/2) graphs. When \(\Sigma\) is parabolic uniformly rectifiable the construction can be refined and in this case we prove that \(\Sigma\) contains uniform big pieces of regular parabolic Lip(1,1/2) graphs. Similar results hold if \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) is a connected component of \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus\Sigma\) and in this context we also give a parabolic counterpart of the main result of Azzam et al. (2017) by proving that if \(\Omega\) is a one-sided parabolic chord arc domain, and if \(\Sigma\) is parabolic uniformly rectifiable, then \(\Omega\) is in fact a parabolic chord arc domain. Our results give a flexible parabolic version of the classical (elliptic) result of David and Jerison (1990) concerning the existence of uniform big pieces of Lipschitz graphs for sets satisfying a two disc condition.

2. Uniqueness of some cylindrical tangent cones to special Lagrangians

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00039-023-00634-x  

   Collins, Tristan C.; Li, Yang (April 2023, Geometric and Functional Analysis)

   Abstract We show that if an exact special Lagrangian $$N\subset {\mathbb {C}}^n$$ N ⊂ C n has a multiplicity one, cylindrical tangent cone of the form $${\mathbb {R}}^{k}\times {\textbf{C}}$$ R k × C where $${\textbf{C}}$$ C is a special Lagrangian cone with smooth, connected link, then this tangent cone is unique provided $${\textbf{C}}$$ C satisfies an integrability condition. This applies, for example, when $${\textbf{C}}= {\textbf{C}}_{HL}^{m}$$ C = C HL m is the Harvey-Lawson $$T^{m-1}$$ T m - 1 cone for $$m\ne 8,9$$ m ≠ 8 , 9 .

3. Universal minimal flows of extensions of and by compact groups

   https://doi.org/10.1017/etds.2022.52  

   BARTOŠOVÁ, DANA (August 2023, Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems)

   Abstract Every topological group G has, up to isomorphism, a unique minimal G -flow that maps onto every minimal G -flow, the universal minimal flow $M(G).$ We show that if G has a compact normal subgroup K that acts freely on $M(G)$ and there exists a uniformly continuous cross-section from $G/K$ to $G,$ then the phase space of $M(G)$ is homeomorphic to the product of the phase space of $M(G/K)$ with K . Moreover, if either the left and right uniformities on G coincide or G is isomorphic to a semidirect product $$G/K\ltimes K$$ , we also recover the action, in the latter case extending a result of Kechris and Sokić. As an application, we show that the phase space of $M(G)$ for any totally disconnected locally compact Polish group G with a normal open compact subgroup is homeomorphic to a finite set, the Cantor set $$2^{\mathbb {N}}$$ , $$M(\mathbb {Z})$$ , or $$M(\mathbb {Z})\times 2^{\mathbb {N}}.$$

4. Approximately Hadamard Matrices and Riesz Bases in Random Frames

   https://doi.org/10.1093/imrn/rnad080  

   Dong, Xiaoyu; Rudelson, Mark (April 2023, International Mathematics Research Notices)

   Abstract An $$n \times n$$ matrix with $$\pm 1$$ entries that acts on $${\mathbb {R}}^{n}$$ as a scaled isometry is called Hadamard. Such matrices exist in some, but not all dimensions. Combining number-theoretic and probabilistic tools, we construct matrices with $$\pm 1$$ entries that act as approximate scaled isometries in $${\mathbb {R}}^{n}$$ for all $$n \in {\mathbb {N}}$$. More precisely, the matrices we construct have condition numbers bounded by a constant independent of $$n$$. Using this construction, we establish a phase transition for the probability that a random frame contains a Riesz basis. Namely, we show that a random frame in $${\mathbb {R}}^{n}$$ formed by $$N$$ vectors with independent identically distributed coordinate having a nondegenerate symmetric distribution contains many Riesz bases with high probability provided that $$N \ge \exp (Cn)$$. On the other hand, we prove that if the entries are sub-Gaussian, then a random frame fails to contain a Riesz basis with probability close to $$1$$ whenever $$N \le \exp (cn)$$, where $c<C$ are constants depending on the distribution of the entries.

5. A Duality Principle for Groups II: Multi-frames Meet Super-Frames

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00041-020-09792-0  

   Balan, R.; Dutkay, D.; Han, D.; Larson, D.; Luef, F. (December 2020, Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications)

   Abstract The duality principle for group representations developed in Dutkay et al. (J Funct Anal 257:1133–1143, 2009), Han and Larson (Bull Lond Math Soc 40:685–695, 2008) exhibits a fact that the well-known duality principle in Gabor analysis is not an isolated incident but a more general phenomenon residing in the context of group representation theory. There are two other well-known fundamental properties in Gabor analysis: the biorthogonality and the fundamental identity of Gabor analysis. The main purpose of this this paper is to show that these two fundamental properties remain to be true for general projective unitary group representations. Moreover, we also present a general duality theorem which shows that that muti-frame generators meet super-frame generators through a dual commutant pair of group representations. Applying it to the Gabor representations, we obtain that $$\{\pi _{\Lambda }(m, n)g_{1} \oplus \cdots \oplus \pi _{\Lambda }(m, n)g_{k}\}_{m, n \in {\mathbb {Z}}^{d}}$$ { π Λ ( m , n ) g 1 ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ π Λ ( m , n ) g k } m , n ∈ Z d is a frame for $$L^{2}({\mathbb {R}}\,^{d})\oplus \cdots \oplus L^{2}({\mathbb {R}}\,^{d})$$ L 2 ( R d ) ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ L 2 ( R d ) if and only if $$\cup _{i=1}^{k}\{\pi _{\Lambda ^{o}}(m, n)g_{i}\}_{m, n\in {\mathbb {Z}}^{d}}$$ ∪ i = 1 k { π Λ o ( m , n ) g i } m , n ∈ Z d is a Riesz sequence, and $$\cup _{i=1}^{k} \{\pi _{\Lambda }(m, n)g_{i}\}_{m, n\in {\mathbb {Z}}^{d}}$$ ∪ i = 1 k { π Λ ( m , n ) g i } m , n ∈ Z d is a frame for $$L^{2}({\mathbb {R}}\,^{d})$$ L 2 ( R d ) if and only if $$\{\pi _{\Lambda ^{o}}(m, n)g_{1} \oplus \cdots \oplus \pi _{\Lambda ^{o}}(m, n)g_{k}\}_{m, n \in {\mathbb {Z}}^{d}}$$ { π Λ o ( m , n ) g 1 ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ π Λ o ( m , n ) g k } m , n ∈ Z d is a Riesz sequence, where $$\pi _{\Lambda }$$ π Λ and $$\pi _{\Lambda ^{o}}$$ π Λ o is a pair of Gabor representations restricted to a time–frequency lattice $$\Lambda $$ Λ and its adjoint lattice $$\Lambda ^{o}$$ Λ o in $${\mathbb {R}}\,^{d}\times {\mathbb {R}}\,^{d}$$ R d × R d .
