1. The best constant for 𝐿^{∞}-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities

   https://doi.org/10.1090/qam/1645  

   Liu, Jian-Guo; Wang, Jinhuan (June 2024, Quarterly of Applied Mathematics)

   In this paper we derive the best constant for the following $L^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality $\Vert <\#comment/>u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}}\le <\#comment/>C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}\Vert <\#comment/>u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^{q+1}}^{1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}\Vert <\#comment/>\mathrm{\nabla <\#comment/>}u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^p}^{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}},\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}=\frac{pd}{dp+(p-<\#comment/>d)(q+1)},$where parameters $q$and $p$satisfy the conditions $p>d\ge <\#comment/>1$, $q\ge <\#comment/>0$. The best constant $C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}$is given by $C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}={\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}^{-<\#comment/>\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{p}}(1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}{)}^{\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{p}}{M}_c^{-<\#comment/>\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{d}},M_c≔{\int <\#comment/>}_{{\mathbb{R}}^d}{u}_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}^{q+1}dx,$where $u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$is the unique radial non-increasing solution to a generalized Lane-Emden equation. The case of equality holds when $u=A{u}_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}\left(\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\right(x-<\#comment/>x_0\left)\right)$for any real numbers $A$, $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}>0$and $x_0\in <\#comment/>{\mathbb{R}}^d$. In fact, the generalized Lane-Emden equation in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$contains a delta function as a source and it is a Thomas-Fermi type equation. For $q=0$or $d=1$, $u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$have closed form solutions expressed in terms of the incomplete Beta functions. Moreover, we show that $u_{c,m}\to <\#comment/>u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$and $C_{q,m,p}\to <\#comment/>C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}$as $m\to <\#comment/>+\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$for $d=1$, where $u_{c,m}$and $C_{q,m,p}$are the function achieving equality and the best constant of $L^m$-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality, respectively.

2. Higher semiadditive Grothendieck-Witt theory and the 𝐾(1)-local sphere

   https://doi.org/10.1090/cams/17  

   Carmeli, Shachar; Yuan, Allen (March 2023, Communications of the American Mathematical Society)

   We develop a higher semiadditive version of Grothendieck-Witt theory. We then apply the theory in the case of a finite field to study the higher semiadditive structure of the $K\left(1\right)$-local sphere ${\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$at the prime $2$, in particular realizing the non- $2$-adic rational element $1+\mathrm{\epsilon <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>{\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_0{\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$as a “semiadditive cardinality.” As a further application, we compute and clarify certain power operations in ${\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_0{\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$.

3. On symmetric representations of 𝑆𝐿₂(ℤ)

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16205  

   Ng, Siu-Hung; Wang, Yilong; Wilson, Samuel (January 2023, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   We introduce the notions of symmetric and symmetrizable representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$. The linear representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$arising from modular tensor categories are symmetric and have congruence kernel. Conversely, one may also reconstruct modular data from finite-dimensional symmetric, congruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$. By investigating a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-symmetry of some Weil representations at prime power levels, we prove that all finite-dimensional congruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$are symmetrizable. We also provide examples of unsymmetrizable noncongruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$that are subrepresentations of a symmetric one.

4. A universal bound in the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequality for log-concave measures

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/8976  

   Livshyts, Galyna (June 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   We show that for any even log-concave probability measure $\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}$on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, any pair of symmetric convex sets $K$and $L$, and any $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>[0,1]$, $\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}\left(\right(1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>})K+\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}L{)}^{c_n}\ge <\#comment/>(1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\left)\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}\right(K{)}^{c_n}+\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}(L{)}^{c_n},$where $c_n\ge <\#comment/>n^{-<\#comment/>4-<\#comment/>o\left(1\right)}$. This constitutes progress towards the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski conjecture (see Richard J. Gardner and Artem Zvavitch [Tran. Amer. Math. Soc. 362 (2010), pp. 5333–5353]; Andrea Colesanti, Galyna V. Livshyts, Arnaud Marsiglietti [J. Funct. Anal. 273 (2017), pp. 1120–1139]). Moreover, our bound improves for various special classes of log-concave measures.

5. 𝐿₁-distortion of Wasserstein metrics: A tale of two dimensions

   https://doi.org/10.1090/btran/143  

   Baudier, F.; Gartland, C.; Schlumprecht, Th. (August 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   By discretizing an argument of Kislyakov, Naor and Schechtman proved that the 1-Wasserstein metric over the planar grid $\{0,1,\dots <\#comment/>,n{\}}^2$has $L_1$-distortion bounded below by a constant multiple of $\sqrt{\log <\#comment/>n}$. We provide a new “dimensionality” interpretation of Kislyakov’s argument, showing that if $\{G_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$is a sequence of graphs whose isoperimetric dimension and Lipschitz-spectral dimension equal a common number $\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>[2,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>})$, then the 1-Wasserstein metric over $G_n$has $L_1$-distortion bounded below by a constant multiple of $(\log <\#comment/>|G_n|{)}^{\frac{1}{\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}}}$. We proceed to compute these dimensions for $\oslash <\#comment/>$-powers of certain graphs. In particular, we get that the sequence of diamond graphs $\{{\mathsf{D}}_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$has isoperimetric dimension and Lipschitz-spectral dimension equal to 2, obtaining as a corollary that the 1-Wasserstein metric over ${\mathsf{D}}_n$has $L_1$-distortion bounded below by a constant multiple of $\sqrt{\log <\#comment/>|{\mathsf{D}}_n|}$. This answers a question of Dilworth, Kutzarova, and Ostrovskii and exhibits only the third sequence of $L_1$-embeddable graphs whose sequence of 1-Wasserstein metrics is not $L_1$-embeddable.
