Abstract In this paper we prove a higher dimensional analogue of Carleson’s$$\varepsilon ^{2}$$ conjecture. Given two arbitrary disjoint Borel sets$$\Omega ^{+},\Omega ^{-}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ , and$$x\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ ,$$r>0$$ , we denote$$ \varepsilon _{n}(x,r) := \frac{1}{r^{n}}\, \inf _{H^{+}} \mathcal{H}^{n} \left ( ((\partial B(x,r)\cap H^{+}) \setminus \Omega ^{+}) \cup (( \partial B(x,r)\cap H^{-}) \setminus \Omega ^{-})\right ), $$ where the infimum is taken over all open affine half-spaces$$H^{+}$$ such that$$x \in \partial H^{+}$$ and we define$$H^{-}= \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \setminus \overline{H^{+}}$$ . Our first main result asserts that the set of points$$x\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$$ where$$ \int _{0}^{1} \varepsilon _{n}(x,r)^{2} \, \frac{dr}{r}< \infty $$ is$$n$$ -rectifiable. For our second main result we assume that$$\Omega ^{+}$$ ,$$\Omega ^{-}$$ are open and that$$\Omega ^{+}\cup \Omega ^{-}$$ satisfies the capacity density condition. For each$$x \in \partial \Omega ^{+} \cup \partial \Omega ^{-}$$ and$$r>0$$ , we denote by$$\alpha ^{\pm }(x,r)$$ the characteristic constant of the (spherical) open sets$$\Omega ^{\pm }\cap \partial B(x,r)$$ . We show that, up to a set of$$\mathcal{H}^{n}$$ measure zero,$$x$$ is a tangent point for both$$\partial \Omega ^{+}$$ and$$\partial \Omega ^{-}$$ if and only if$$ \int _{0}^{1} \min (1,\alpha ^{+}(x,r) + \alpha ^{-}(x,r) -2) \frac{dr}{r} < \infty . $$ The first result is new even in the plane and the second one improves and extends to higher dimensions the$$\varepsilon ^{2}$$ conjecture of Carleson.

                            Micro-particle entrainment from density mismatched liquid carrier system
                        
                    
    
            Abstract Micro-scale inorganic particles (d > 1 µm) have reduced surface area and higher density, making them negatively buoyant in most dip-coating mixtures. Their controlled delivery in hard-to-reach places through entrainment is possible but challenging due to the density mismatch between them and the liquid matrix called liquid carrier system (LCS). In this work, the particle transfer mechanism from the complex density mismatching mixture was investigated. The LCS solution was prepared and optimized using a polymer binder and an evaporating solvent. The inorganic particles were dispersed in the LCS by stirring at the just suspending speed to maintain the pseudo suspension characteristics for the heterogeneous mixture. The effect of solid loading and the binder volume fraction on solid transfer has been reported at room temperature. Two coating regimes are observed (i) heterogeneous coating where particle clusters are formed at a low capillary number and (ii) effective viscous regime, where full coverage can be observed on the substrate. ‘Zero’ particle entrainment was not observed even at a low capillary number of the mixture, which can be attributed to the presence of the binder and hydrodynamic flow of the particles due to the stirring of the mixture. The critical film thickness for particle entrainment is$${h}^{*}=0.16a$$ for 6.5% binder and$${h}^{*}=0.26a$$ for 10.5% binder, which are smaller than previously reported in literature. Furthermore, the transferred particle matrices closely follow the analytical expression (modified LLD) of density matching suspension which demonstrate that the density mismatch effect can be neutralized with the stirring energy. The findings of this research will help to understand this high-volume solid transfer technique and develop novel manufacturing processes.

            Abstract LetXbe a compact normal complex space of dimensionnandLbe a holomorphic line bundle onX. Suppose that$$\Sigma =(\Sigma _1,\ldots ,\Sigma _\ell )$$ is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of distinct irreducible proper analytic subsets ofX,$$\tau =(\tau _1,\ldots ,\tau _\ell )$$ is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of positive real numbers, and let$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ be the space of holomorphic sections of$$L^p:=L^{\otimes p}$$ that vanish to order at least$$\tau _jp$$ along$$\Sigma _j$$ ,$$1\le j\le \ell $$ . If$$Y\subset X$$ is an irreducible analytic subset of dimensionm, we consider the space$$H^0_0 (X|Y, L^p)$$ of holomorphic sections of$$L^p|_Y$$ that extend to global holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ . Assuming that the triplet$$(L,\Sigma ,\tau )$$ is big in the sense that$$\dim H^0_0(X,L^p)\sim p^n$$ , we give a general condition onYto ensure that$$\dim H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)\sim p^m$$ . WhenLis endowed with a continuous Hermitian metric, we show that the Fubini-Study currents of the spaces$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ converge to a certain equilibrium current onY. We apply this to the study of the equidistribution of zeros inYof random holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ as$$p\rightarrow \infty $$ .more » « less

            Abstract In this paper, we present counterexamples to maximal$$L^p$$ -regularity for a parabolic PDE. The example is a second-order operator in divergence form with space and time-dependent coefficients. It is well-known from Lions’ theory that such operators admit maximal$$L^2$$ -regularity on$$H^{-1}$$ under a coercivity condition on the coefficients, and without any regularity conditions in time and space. We show that in general one cannot expect maximal$$L^p$$ -regularity on$$H^{-1}(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ or$$L^2$$ -regularity on$$L^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ .more » « less

            Abstract We study holomorphic mapsFfrom a smooth Levi non-degenerate real hypersurface$$ M_{\ell }\subset {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ into a hyperquadric$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell '}^N $$ with signatures$$ \ell \le (n-1)/2 $$ and$$ \ell '\le (N-1)/2,$$ respectively. Assuming that$$ N - n < n - 1,$$ we prove that if$$ \ell = \ell ',$$ thenFis either CR transversal to$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N $$ at every point of$$ M_{\ell },$$ or it maps a neighborhood of$$ M_{\ell } $$ in$$ {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ into$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N.$$ Furthermore, in the case where$$ \ell ' > \ell ,$$ we show that ifFis not CR transversal at$$0\in M_\ell ,$$ then it must be transversally flat. The latter is best possible.more » « less

            Abstract Consider two half-spaces$$H_1^+$$ and$$H_2^+$$ in$${\mathbb {R}}^{d+1}$$ whose bounding hyperplanes$$H_1$$ and$$H_2$$ are orthogonal and pass through the origin. The intersection$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d:={\mathbb {S}}^d\cap H_1^+\cap H_2^+$$ is a spherical convex subset of thed-dimensional unit sphere$${\mathbb {S}}^d$$ , which contains a great subsphere of dimension$$d-2$$ and is called a spherical wedge. Choosenindependent random points uniformly at random on$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d$$ and consider the expected facet number of the spherical convex hull of these points. It is shown that, up to terms of lower order, this expectation grows like a constant multiple of$$\log n$$ . A similar behaviour is obtained for the expected facet number of a homogeneous Poisson point process on$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d$$ . The result is compared to the corresponding behaviour of classical Euclidean random polytopes and of spherical random polytopes on a half-sphere.more » « less
