The Helmholtz equation $-\nabla\cdot (a\nabla u) - \omega^2 u = f$ is considered in an unbounded wave guide $\Omega := \mathbb{R} \times S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $S\subset \mathbb{R}^{d-1}$ a bounded domain. The coefficient a is strictly elliptic and either periodic in the unbounded direction $x_1 \in \mathbb{R}$ or periodic outside a compact subset; in the latter case, two different periodic media can be used in the two unbounded directions. For non-singular frequencies $\omega$, we show the existence of a solution u. While previous proofs of such results were based on analyticity arguments within operator theory, here, only energy methods are used.
We prove that, given $2< p<\infty$, the Fourier coefficients of functions in $L_2(\mathbb {T}, |t|^{1-2/p}\,{\rm d}t)$ belong to $\ell _p$, and that, given $1< p<2$, the Fourier series of sequences in $\ell _p$ belong to $L_2(\mathbb {T}, \vert {t}\vert ^{2/p-1}\,{\rm d}t)$. Then, we apply these results to the study of conditional Schauder bases and conditional almost greedy bases in Banach spaces. Specifically, we prove that, for every $1< p<\infty$ and every $0\le \alpha <1$, there is a Schauder basis of $\ell _p$ whose conditionality constants grow as $(m^{\alpha })_{m=1}^{\infty }$, and there is an almost greedy basis of $\ell _p$ whose conditionality constants grow as $((\log m)^{\alpha })_{m=2}^{\infty }$.
For X a smooth projective variety and $D=D_1+\dotsb +D_n$ a simple normal crossing divisor, we establish a precise cycle-level correspondence between the genus $0$ local Gromov–Witten theory of the bundle $\oplus _{i=1}^n \mathcal {O}_X(-D_i)$ and the maximal contact Gromov–Witten theory of the multiroot stack $X_{D,\vec r}$. The proof is an implementation of the rank-reduction strategy. We use this point of view to clarify the relationship between logarithmic and orbifold invariants.
We define slope subalgebras in the shuffle algebra associated to a (doubled) quiver, thus yielding a factorization of the universal R-matrix of the double of the shuffle algebra in question. We conjecture that this factorization matches the one defined by [1, 18, 32, 33, 34] using Nakajima quiver varieties.
