1. Phase mixing for solutions to 1D transport equation in a confining potential

   https://doi.org/10.3934/krm.2022002  

   Chaturvedi, Sanchit; Luk, Jonathan (January 2022, Kinetic and Related Models)

   Consider the linear transport equation in 1D under an external confining potential \begin{document}$$ \Phi $$\end{document}: \begin{document}$$ \begin{equation*} {\partial}_t f + v {\partial}_x f - {\partial}_x \Phi {\partial}_v f = 0. \end{equation*} $$\end{document} For \begin{document}$$ \Phi = \frac {x^2}2 + \frac { \varepsilon x^4}2 $$\end{document} (with \begin{document}$$ \varepsilon >0 $$\end{document} small), we prove phase mixing and quantitative decay estimates for \begin{document}$$ {\partial}_t \varphi : = - \Delta^{-1} \int_{ \mathbb{R}} {\partial}_t f \, \mathrm{d} v $$\end{document}, with an inverse polynomial decay rate \begin{document}$$ O({\langle} t{\rangle}^{-2}) $$\end{document}. In the proof, we develop a commuting vector field approach, suitably adapted to this setting. We will explain why we hope this is relevant for the nonlinear stability of the zero solution for the Vlasov–Poisson system in \begin{document}$ 1 $$\end{document}D under the external potential \begin{document}$$ \Phi $$\end{document}$.

2. Multipliers on bi-parameter Haar system Hardy spaces

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-024-02887-9  

   Lechner, R.; Motakis, P.; Müller, P_F_X; Schlumprecht, Th (May 2024, Mathematische Annalen)

   Abstract Let$$(h_I)$$ $\left(h_I\right)$denote the standard Haar system on [0, 1], indexed by$$I\in \mathcal {D}$$ $I\in D$, the set of dyadic intervals and$$h_I\otimes h_J$$ $h_I\otimes h_J$denote the tensor product$$(s,t)\mapsto h_I(s) h_J(t)$$ $(s,t)\mapsto h_I\left(s\right)h_J\left(t\right)$,$$I,J\in \mathcal {D}$$ $I,J\in D$. We consider a class of two-parameter function spaces which are completions of the linear span$$\mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)$$ $V\left({\delta }^2\right)$of$$h_I\otimes h_J$$ $h_I\otimes h_J$,$$I,J\in \mathcal {D}$$ $I,J\in D$. This class contains all the spaces of the formX(Y), whereXandYare either the Lebesgue spaces$$L^p[0,1]$$ $L^p[0,1]$or the Hardy spaces$$H^p[0,1]$$ $H^p[0,1]$,$$1\le p < \infty $$ $1\le p<\infty$. We say that$$D:X(Y)\rightarrow X(Y)$$ $D:X\left(Y\right)\to X\left(Y\right)$is a Haar multiplier if$$D(h_I\otimes h_J) = d_{I,J} h_I\otimes h_J$$ $D(h_I\otimes h_J)=d_{I,J}{h}_I\otimes h_J$, where$$d_{I,J}\in \mathbb {R}$$ $d_{I,J}\in R$, and ask which more elementary operators factor throughD. A decisive role is played by theCapon projection$$\mathcal {C}:\mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)\rightarrow \mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)$$ $C:V\left({\delta }^2\right)\to V\left({\delta }^2\right)$given by$$\mathcal {C} h_I\otimes h_J = h_I\otimes h_J$$ $C{h}_I\otimes h_J=h_I\otimes h_J$if$$|I|\le |J|$$ $\left|I\right|\le \left|J\right|$, and$$\mathcal {C} h_I\otimes h_J = 0$$ $C{h}_I\otimes h_J=0$if$$|I| > |J|$$ $\left|I\right|>\left|J\right|$, as our main result highlights: Given any bounded Haar multiplier$$D:X(Y)\rightarrow X(Y)$$ $D:X\left(Y\right)\to X\left(Y\right)$, there exist$$\lambda ,\mu \in \mathbb {R}$$ $\lambda ,\mu \in R$such that$$\begin{aligned} \lambda \mathcal {C} + \mu ({{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-\mathcal {C})\text { approximately 1-projectionally factors through }D, \end{aligned}$$ $\begin{array}{c}\lambda C+\mu (\text{Id}-C)\text{approximately 1-projectionally factors through}D,\end{array}$i.e., for all$$\eta > 0$$ $\eta >0$, there exist bounded operatorsA, Bso thatABis the identity operator$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}$$ $\text{Id}$,$$\Vert A\Vert \cdot \Vert B\Vert = 1$$ $\Vert A\Vert ·\Vert B\Vert =1$and$$\Vert \lambda \mathcal {C} + \mu ({{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-\mathcal {C}) - ADB\Vert < \eta $$ $\Vert \lambda C+\mu (\text{Id}-C)-ADB\Vert <\eta$. Additionally, if$$\mathcal {C}$$ $C$is unbounded onX(Y), then$$\lambda = \mu $$ $\lambda =\mu$and then$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}$$ $\text{Id}$either factors throughDor$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-D$$ $\text{Id}-D$.

3. Modified supersymmetric indices in AdS3/CFT2

   https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2024)099  

   Ardehali, Arash Arabi; Krishna, Hare (January 2024, Journal of High Energy Physics)

   A<sc>bstract</sc> We consider the 𝒩 = (2, 2) AdS₃/CFT₂dualities proposed by Eberhardt, where the bulk geometry is AdS₃× (S³×T⁴)/ℤ_k, and the CFT is a deformation of the symmetric orbifold of the supersymmetric sigma modelT⁴/ℤ_k(withk= 2, 3, 4, 6). The elliptic genera of the two sides vanish due to fermionic zero modes, so for microstate counting applications one must consider modified supersymmetric indices. In an analysis similar to that of Maldacena, Moore, and Strominger for the standard 𝒩 = (4, 4) case ofT⁴, we study the appropriate helicity-trace index of the boundary CFTs. We encounter a strange phenomenon where a saddle-point analysis of our indices reproduces only a fraction (respectively$$ \frac{1}{2} $$ $\frac{1}{2}$,$$ \frac{2}{3} $$ $\frac{2}{3}$,$$ \frac{3}{4} $$ $\frac{3}{4}$,$$ \frac{5}{6} $$ $\frac{5}{6}$) of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the associated macroscopic black branes.

4. DHR bimodules of quasi-local algebras and symmetric quantum cellular automata

   https://doi.org/10.4171/QT/216  

   Jones, Corey (October 2024, Quantum Topology)

   For a net of C*-algebras on a discrete metric space, we introduce a bimodule version of the DHR tensor category and show that it is an invariant of quasi-local algebras under isomorphisms with bounded spread. For abstract spin systems on a latticeL\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n}satisfying a weak version of Haag duality, we construct a braiding on these categories. Applying the general theory to quasi-local algebrasAof operators on a lattice invariant under a (categorical) symmetry, we obtain a homomorphism from the group of symmetric QCA to\mathbf{Aut}_{\mathrm{br}}(\mathbf{DHR}(A)), containing symmetric finite-depth circuits in the kernel. For a spin chain with fusion categorical symmetry\mathcal{D}, we show that the DHR category of the quasi-local algebra of symmetric operators is equivalent to the Drinfeld center\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{D}). We use this to show that, for the double spin-flip action\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\curvearrowright \mathbb{C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{2}, the group of symmetric QCA modulo symmetric finite-depth circuits in 1D contains a copy ofS_{3}; hence, it is non-abelian, in contrast to the case with no symmetry.

5. On lower bounds for Erdős-Szekeres products

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/15503  

   Billsborough, C.; Freedman, M.; Hart, S.; Kowalsky, G.; Lubinsky, D.; Pomeranz, A.; Sammel, A. (October 2021, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   Let { s j } j = 1 n \left \{ s_{j}\right \} _{j=1}^{n} be positive integers. We show that for any 1 ≤ L ≤ n , 1\leq L\leq n, ‖ ∏ j = 1 n ( 1 − z s j ) ‖ L ∞ ( | z | = 1 ) ≥ exp ⁡ ( 1 2 e L ( s 1 s 2 … s L ) 1 / L ) . \begin{equation*} \left \Vert \prod _{j=1}^{n}\left ( 1-z^{s_{j}}\right ) \right \Vert _{L_{\infty }\left ( \left \vert z\right \vert =1\right ) }\geq \exp \left ( \frac {1}{2e}\frac {L}{\left ( s_{1}s_{2}\ldots s_{L}\right ) ^{1/L}}\right ) . \end{equation*} In particular, this gives geometric growth if a positive proportion of the { s j } \left \{ s_{j}\right \} are bounded. We also show that when the { s j } \left \{ s_{j}\right \} grow regularly and faster than j ( log ⁡ j ) 2 + ε j\left ( \log j\right ) ^{2+\varepsilon } , some ε > 0 \varepsilon >0 , then the norms grow faster than exp ⁡ ( ( log ⁡ n ) 1 + δ ) \exp \left ( \left ( \log n\right ) ^{1+\delta }\right ) for some δ > 0 \delta >0 .
