1. Smooth rigidity for codimension one Anosov flows

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16177  

   Gogolev, Andrey; Hertz, Federico (July 2023, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   We introduce the matching functions technique in the setting of Anosov flows. Then we observe that simple periodic cycle functionals (also known as temporal distances) provide a source of matching functions for conjugate Anosov flows. For conservative codimension one Anosov flows ${\mathrm{\phi <\#comment/>}}^t:<\#comment/>M\to <\#comment/>M$, $\dim <\#comment/>M\ge <\#comment/>4$, these simple periodic cycle functionals are $C^1$regular and, hence, can be used to improve regularity of the conjugacy. Specifically, we prove that a continuous conjugacy must, in fact, be a $C^1$diffeomorphism for an open and dense set of codimension one conservative Anosov flows.

2. On higher regularity of Stokes systems with piecewise Hölder continuous coefficients

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/9165  

   Dong, Hongjie; Li, Haigang; Xu, Longjuan (September 2024, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   In this paper, we consider higher regularity of a weak solution $(\mathbf{u},p)$to stationary Stokes systems with variable coefficients. Under the assumptions that coefficients and data are piecewise $C^{s,\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}}$in a bounded domain consisting of a finite number of subdomains with interfacial boundaries in $C^{s+1,\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}}$, where $s$is a positive integer, $\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>(0,1)$, and $\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>(0,1]$, we show that $D\mathbf{u}$and $p$are piecewise $C^{s,{\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}}_{\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}}}$, where ${\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}}_{\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}}=min\{\frac{1}{2},\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>},\mathrm{\delta <\#comment/>}\}$. Our result is new even in the 2D case with piecewise constant coefficients.

3. 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.

4. Super-polynomial accuracy of one dimensional randomized nets using the median of means

   https://doi.org/10.1090/mcom/3791  

   Pan, Zexin; Owen, Art (March 2023, Mathematics of Computation)

   Let $f$be analytic on $[0,1]$with $|f^{\left(k\right)}\left(1/2\right)|⩽<\#comment/>A{\mathrm{\alpha <\#comment/>}}^{k}k!$for some constants $A$and $\mathrm{\alpha <\#comment/>}>2$and all $k⩾<\#comment/>1$. We show that the median estimate of $\mathrm{\mu <\#comment/>}={\int <\#comment/>}_0^{1}f\left(x\right)\mathrm{d}x$under random linear scrambling with $n=2^m$points converges at the rate $O\left(n^{-<\#comment/>c\log <\#comment/>\left(n\right)}\right)$for any $c>3\log <\#comment/>\left(2\right)/{\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}^2\approx <\#comment/>0.21$. We also get a super-polynomial convergence rate for the sample median of $2k-<\#comment/>1$random linearly scrambled estimates, when $k/m$is bounded away from zero. When $f$has a $p$’th derivative that satisfies a $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}$-Hölder condition then the median of means has error $O\left(n^{-<\#comment/>(p+\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>})+\mathrm{ϵ<\#comment/>}}\right)$for any $\mathrm{ϵ<\#comment/>}>0$, if $k\to <\#comment/>\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$as $m\to <\#comment/>\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$. The proof techniques use methods from analytic combinatorics that have not previously been applied to quasi-Monte Carlo methods, most notably an asymptotic expression from Hardy and Ramanujan on the number of partitions of a natural number.

5. 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.
