   Abstract Let $$u_{k}$$ u k be a solution of the Helmholtz equation with the wave number k , $$\varDelta u_{k}+k^{2} u_{k}=0$$ Δ u k + k 2 u k = 0 , on (a small ball in) either $${\mathbb {R}}^{n}$$ R n , $${\mathbb {S}}^{n}$$ S n , or $${\mathbb {H}}^{n}$$ H n . For a fixed point p , we define $$M_{u_{k}}(r)=\max _{d(x,p)\le r}|u_{k}(x)|.$$ M u k ( r ) = max d ( x , p ) ≤ r | u k ( x ) | . The following three ball inequality $$M_{u_{k}}(2r)\le C(k,r,\alpha )M_{u_{k}}(r)^{\alpha }M_{u_{k}}(4r)^{1-\alpha }$$ M u k ( 2 r ) ≤ C ( k , r , α ) M u k ( r ) α M u k ( 4 r ) 1 - α is well known, it holds for some $$\alpha \in (0,1)$$ α ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) and $$C(k,r,\alpha )>0$$ C ( k , r , α ) > 0 independent of $$u_{k}$$ u k . We show that the constant $$C(k,r,\alpha )$$ C ( k , r , α ) grows exponentially in k (when r is fixed and small). We also compare our result with the increased stability for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation on Riemannian manifolds.

2. Localization and nilpotent spaces in -homotopy theory

   https://doi.org/10.1112/S0010437X22007321  

   Asok, Aravind ; Fasel, Jean ; Hopkins, Michael J. ( March 2022 , Compositio Mathematica)

   Abstract For a subring $R$ of the rational numbers, we study $R$ -localization functors in the local homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves on a small site and then in ${\mathbb {A}}^1$ -homotopy theory. To this end, we introduce and analyze two notions of nilpotence for spaces in ${\mathbb {A}}^1$ -homotopy theory, paying attention to future applications for vector bundles. We show that $R$ -localization behaves in a controlled fashion for the nilpotent spaces we consider. We show that the classifying space $BGL_n$ is ${\mathbb {A}}^1$ -nilpotent when $n$ is odd, and analyze the (more complicated) situation where $n$ is even as well. We establish analogs of various classical results about rationalization in the context of ${\mathbb {A}}^1$ -homotopy theory: if $-1$ is a sum of squares in the base field, ${\mathbb {A}}^n \,{\setminus}\, 0$ is rationally equivalent to a suitable motivic Eilenberg–Mac Lane space, and the special linear group decomposes as a product of motivic spheres.

3. Boundary regularity and stability for spaces with Ricci bounded below

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00222-021-01092-8  

   Bruè, Elia ; Naber, Aaron ; Semola, Daniele ( May 2022 , Inventiones mathematicae)

   Abstract This paper studies the structure and stability of boundaries in noncollapsed $${{\,\mathrm{RCD}\,}}(K,N)$$ RCD ( K , N ) spaces, that is, metric-measure spaces $$(X,{\mathsf {d}},{\mathscr {H}}^N)$$ ( X , d , H N ) with Ricci curvature bounded below. Our main structural result is that the boundary $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is homeomorphic to a manifold away from a set of codimension 2, and is $$N-1$$ N - 1 rectifiable. Along the way, we show effective measure bounds on the boundary and its tubular neighborhoods. These results are new even for Gromov–Hausdorff limits $$(M_i^N,{\mathsf {d}}_{g_i},p_i) \rightarrow (X,{\mathsf {d}},p)$$ ( M i N , d g i , p i ) → ( X , d , p ) of smooth manifolds with boundary, and require new techniques beyond those needed to prove the analogous statements for the regular set, in particular when it comes to the manifold structure of the boundary $$\partial X$$ ∂ X . The key local result is an $$\varepsilon $$ ε -regularity theorem, which tells us that if a ball $$B_{2}(p)\subset X$$ B 2 ( p ) ⊂ X is sufficiently close to a half space $$B_{2}(0)\subset {\mathbb {R}}^N_+$$ B 2 ( 0 ) ⊂ R + N in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense, then $$B_1(p)$$ B 1 ( p ) is biHölder to an open set of $${\mathbb {R}}^N_+$$ R + N . In particular, $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is itself homeomorphic to $$B_1(0^{N-1})$$ B 1 ( 0 N - 1 ) near $$B_1(p)$$ B 1 ( p ) . Further, the boundary $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is $$N-1$$ N - 1 rectifiable and the boundary measure "Equation missing" is Ahlfors regular on $$B_1(p)$$ B 1 ( p ) with volume close to the Euclidean volume. Our second collection of results involve the stability of the boundary with respect to noncollapsed mGH convergence $$X_i\rightarrow X$$ X i → X . Specifically, we show a boundary volume convergence which tells us that the $$N-1$$ N - 1 Hausdorff measures on the boundaries converge "Equation missing" to the limit Hausdorff measure on $$\partial X$$ ∂ X . We will see that a consequence of this is that if the $$X_i$$ X i are boundary free then so is X .

4. Generalized $\mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed points of $C_n$ spectra with applications to norms of $MU_{\mathbb R}$

   Hill, Michael A ; Zeng, Mingcong ( January 2020 , New York journal of mathematics)

   null (Ed.)

   We introduce a computationally tractable way to describe the $\mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed points of a $C_{n}$-spectrum $E$, producing a genuine $C_{n}$ spectrum $E^{hn\mathbb Z}$ whose fixed and homotopy fixed points agree and are the $\mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed points of $E$. These form the bottom piece of a contravariant functor from the divisor poset of $n$ to genuine $C_{n}$-spectra, and when $E$ is an $N_{\infty}$-ring spectrum, this functor lifts to a functor of $N_{\infty}$-ring spectra. For spectra like the Real Johnson--Wilson theories or the norms of Real bordism, the slice spectral sequence provides a way to easily compute the $RO(G)$-graded homotopy groups of the spectrum $E^{hn\mathbb Z}$, giving the homotopy groups of the $\mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed points. For the more general spectra in the contravariant functor, the slice spectral sequences interpolate between the one for the norm of Real bordism and the especially simple $\mathbb Z$-homotopy fixed point case, giving us a family of new tools to simplify slice computations.

5. Random Interpolating Sequences in Dirichlet Spaces

   https://doi.org/10.1093/imrn/rnab110  

   Chalmoukis, Nikolaos ; Hartmann, Andreas ; Kellay, Karim ; Wick, Brett Duane ( May 2021 , International Mathematics Research Notices)

   Abstract We discuss random interpolating sequences in weighted Dirichlet spaces ${{\mathcal{D}}}_\alpha $, $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$, when the radii of the sequence points are fixed a priori and the arguments are uniformly distributed. Although conditions for deterministic interpolation in these spaces depend on capacities, which are very hard to estimate in general, we show that random interpolation is driven by surprisingly simple distribution conditions. As a consequence, we obtain a breakpoint at $\alpha =1/2$ in the behavior of these random interpolating sequences showing more precisely that almost sure interpolating sequences for ${{\mathcal{D}}}_\alpha $ are exactly the almost sure separated sequences when $0\le \alpha <1/2$ (which includes the Hardy space $H^2={{\mathcal{D}}}_0$), and they are exactly the almost sure zero sequences for ${{\mathcal{D}}}_\alpha $ when $1/2 \leq \alpha \le 1$ (which includes the classical Dirichlet space ${{\mathcal{D}}}={{\mathcal{D}}}_1$).
