Abstract We introduce a distributional Jacobian determinant \det DV_{\beta}(Dv)in dimension two for the nonlinear complex gradient V_{\beta}(Dv)=\lvert Dv\rvert^{\beta}(v_{x_{1}},-v_{x_{2}})for any \beta>-1, whenever v\in W^{1\smash{,}2}_{\mathrm{loc}}and \beta\lvert Dv\rvert^{1+\beta}\in W^{1\smash{,}2}_{\mathrm{loc}}.This is new when \beta\neq 0.Given any planar ∞-harmonic function 𝑢, we show that such distributional Jacobian determinant \det DV_{\beta}(Du)is a nonnegative Radon measure with some quantitative local lower and upper bounds.We also give the following two applications. Applying this result with \beta=0, we develop an approach to build up a Liouville theorem, which improves that of Savin.Precisely, if 𝑢 is an ∞-harmonic function in the whole \mathbb{R}^{2}with \liminf_{R\to\infty}\inf_{c\in\mathbb{R}}\frac{1}{R}\barint_{B(0,R)}\lvert u(x)-c\rvert\,dx<\infty,then u=b+a\cdot xfor some b\in\mathbb{R}and a\in\mathbb{R}^{2}.Denoting by u_{p}the 𝑝-harmonic function having the same nonconstant boundary condition as 𝑢, we show that \det DV_{\beta}(Du_{p})\to\det DV_{\beta}(Du)as p\to\inftyin the weak-⋆ sense in the space of Radon measure.Recall that V_{\beta}(Du_{p})is always quasiregular mappings, but V_{\beta}(Du)is not in general.

            Abstract For every d\geq 3, we construct a noncompact smooth 𝑑-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature without isoperimetric sets for any volume below 1.We construct a similar example also for the relative isoperimetric problem in (unbounded) convex sets in \mathbb{R}^{d}.The examples we construct have nondegenerate asymptotic cone.The dimensional constraint d\geq 3is sharp.Our examples exhibit nonexistence of isoperimetric sets only for small volumes; indeed, in nonnegatively curved spaces with nondegenerate asymptotic cones, isoperimetric sets with large volumes always exist.This is the first instance of noncollapsed nonnegatively curved space without isoperimetric sets.

            Abstract Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we study negative moments of the Riemann zeta-function and obtain asymptotic formulas in certain ranges of the shift in {\zeta(s)}. For example, integrating {|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+\alpha+it)|^{-2k}}with respect totfromTto {2T}, we obtain an asymptotic formula when the shift α is roughly bigger than {\frac{1}{\log T}}and {k<\frac{1}{2}}. We also obtain non-trivial upper bounds for much smaller shifts, as long as {\log\frac{1}{\alpha}\ll\log\log T}. This provides partial progress towards a conjecture of Gonek on negative moments of the Riemann zeta-function, and settles the conjecture in certain ranges. As an application, we also obtain an upper bound for the average of the generalized Möbius function.more » « less

            Abstract Let 𝜋 and \pi^{\prime}be cuspidal automorphic representations of \mathrm{GL}(n)and \mathrm{GL}(n^{\prime})with unitary central characters.We establish a new zero-free region for all \mathrm{GL}(1)-twists of the Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-function L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}), generalizing Siegel’s celebrated work on Dirichlet 𝐿-functions.As an application, we prove the first unconditional Siegel–Walfisz theorem for the Dirichlet coefficients of -L^{\prime}(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime})/L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}).Also, for n\leq 8, we extend the region of holomorphy and nonvanishing for the twisted symmetric power 𝐿-functions L(s,\pi,\mathrm{Sym}^{n}\otimes\chi)of any cuspidal automorphic representation of \mathrm{GL}(2).more » « less

            Abstract We show that the affine vertex superalgebra V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})at generic level 𝑘 embeds in the equivariant 𝒲-algebra of \mathfrak{sp}_{2n}times 4nfree fermions.This has two corollaries:(1) it provides a new proof that, for generic 𝑘, the coset \operatorname{Com}(V^{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}),V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}))is isomorphic to \mathcal{W}^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})for \ell=-(n+1)+(k+n+1)/(2k+2n+1), and(2) we obtain the decomposition of ordinary V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})-modules into V^{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\otimes\mathcal{W}^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules.Next, if 𝑘 is an admissible level and ℓ is a non-degenerate admissible level for \mathfrak{sp}_{2n}, we show that the simple algebra L_{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})is an extension of the simple subalgebra L_{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\otimes{\mathcal{W}}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}).Using the theory of vertex superalgebra extensions, we prove that the category of ordinary L_{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})-modules is a semisimple, rigid vertex tensor supercategory with only finitely many inequivalent simple objects.It is equivalent to a certain subcategory of \mathcal{W}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules.A similar result also holds for the category of Ramond twisted modules.Due to a recent theorem of Robert McRae, we get as a corollary that categories of ordinary L_{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules are rigid.more » « less

            Abstract We study the family of irreducible modules for quantum affine {\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}}whose Drinfeld polynomials are supported on just one node of the Dynkin diagram. We identify all the prime modules in this family and prove a unique factorization theorem. The Drinfeld polynomials of the prime modules encode information coming from the points of reducibility of tensor products of the fundamental modules associated to {A_{m}}with {m\leq n}. These prime modules are a special class of the snake modules studied by Mukhin and Young. We relate our modules to the work of Hernandez and Leclerc and define generalizations of the category {\mathscr{C}^{-}}. This leads naturally to the notion of an inflation of the corresponding Grothendieck ring. In the last section we show that the tensor product of a (higher order) Kirillov–Reshetikhin module with its dual always contains an imaginary module in its Jordan–Hölder series and give an explicit formula for its Drinfeld polynomial. Together with the results of [D. Hernandez and B. Leclerc,A cluster algebra approach toq-characters of Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules,J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 18 2016, 5, 1113–1159] this gives examples of a product of cluster variables which are not in the span of cluster monomials. We also discuss the connection of our work with the examples arising from the work of [E. Lapid and A. Mínguez,Geometric conditions for \square-irreducibility of certain representations of the general linear group over a non-archimedean local field,Adv. Math. 339 2018, 113–190]. Finally, we use our methods to give a family of imaginary modules in type {D_{4}}which do not arise from an embedding of {A_{r}}with {r\leq 3}in {D_{4}}.more » « less
