We consider the problem of computing the partition function $\sum _x e^{f(x)}$ , where $f: \{-1, 1\}^n \longrightarrow {\mathbb R}$ is a quadratic or cubic polynomial on the Boolean cube $\{-1, 1\}^n$ . In the case of a quadratic polynomial f, we show that the partition function can be approximated within relative error $0 < \epsilon < 1$ in quasi-polynomial $n^{O(\ln n - \ln \epsilon )}$ time if the Lipschitz constant of the non-linear part of f with respect to the $\ell ^1$ metric on the Boolean cube does not exceed $1-\delta $ , for any $\delta>0$ , fixed in advance. For a cubic polynomial f, we get the same result under a somewhat stronger condition. We apply the method of polynomial interpolation, for which we prove that $\sum _x e^{\tilde {f}(x)} \ne 0$ for complex-valued polynomials $\tilde {f}$ in a neighborhood of a real-valued f satisfying the above mentioned conditions. The bounds are asymptotically optimal. Results on the zero-free region are interpreted as the absence of a phase transition in the Lee–Yang sense in the corresponding Ising model. The novel feature of the bounds is that they control the total interaction of each vertex but not every single interaction of sets of vertices.

Let f and g be two quasiregular maps in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are of transcendental type and also satisfy $f\circ g =g \circ f$ . We show that if the fast escaping sets of those functions are contained in their respective Julia sets then those two functions must have the same Julia set. We also obtain the same conclusion about commuting quasimeromorphic functions with infinite backward orbit of infinity. Furthermore we show that permutable quasiregular functions of the form f and $g = \phi \circ f$ , where $\phi$ is a quasiconformal map, have the same Julia sets and that polynomial type quasiregular maps cannot commute with transcendental type ones unless their degree is less than or equal to their dilatation.

En s’appuyant sur la notion d’équivalence au sens de Bohr entre polynômes de Dirichlet et sur le fait que sur un corps quadratique la fonction zeta de Dedekind peut s’écrire comme produit de la fonction zeta de Riemann et d’une fonction L, nous montrons que, pour certaines valeurs du discriminant du corps quadratique, les sommes partielles de la fonction zeta de Dedekind ont leurs zéros dans des bandes verticales du plan complexe appelées bandes critiques et que les parties réelles de leurs zéros y sont denses.

The Neumann–Poincaré (NP) operator, a singular integral operator on the boundary of a domain, naturally appears when one solves a conductivity transmission problem via the boundary integral formulation. Recently, a series expression of the NP operator was developed in two dimensions based on geometric function theory [34]. In this paper, we investigate geometric properties of composite materials using this series expansion. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for the polarisation tensor and the effective conductivity for an inclusion or a periodic array of inclusions of arbitrary shape with extremal conductivity, in terms of the associated exterior conformal mapping. Also, we observe by numerical computations that the spectrum of the NP operator has a monotonic behaviour with respect to the shape deformation of the inclusion. Additionally, we derive inequality relations of the coefficients of the Riemann mapping of an arbitrary Lipschitz domain using the properties of the polarisation tensor corresponding to the domain.

Classical results about peaking from complex interpolation theory are extended to polynomials on a closed disk, and on the complement of its interior. New results are obtained concerning interpolation by univalent polynomials on a Jordan domain whose boundary satisfies certain smoothness conditions.

Let $(z_k)$ be a sequence of distinct points in the unit disc $\mathbb {D}$ without limit points there. We are looking for a function $a(z)$ analytic in $\mathbb {D}$ and such that possesses a solution having zeros precisely at the points $z_k$, and the resulting function $a(z)$ has ‘minimal’ growth. We focus on the case of non-separated sequences $(z_k)$ in terms of the pseudohyperbolic distance when the coefficient $a(z)$ is of zero order, but $\sup _{z\in {\mathbb D}}(1-|z|)^p|a(z)| = + \infty$ for any $p > 0$. We established a new estimate for the maximum modulus of $a(z)$ in terms of the functions $n_z(t)=\sum \nolimits _{|z_k-z|\le t} 1$ and $N_z(r) = \int_0^r {{(n_z(t)-1)}^ + } /t{\rm d}t.$ The estimate is sharp in some sense. The main result relies on a new interpolation theorem.

Let f be analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb {D}=\{z\in \mathbb {C}:|z|<1 \}$ and let ${\mathcal S}$ be the subclass of normalised univalent functions with $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$ , given by $f(z)=z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_n z^n$ . Let F be the inverse function of f, given by $F(\omega )=\omega +\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }A_n \omega ^n$ for $|\omega |\le r_0(f)$ . Denote by $ \mathcal {S}_p^{* }(\alpha )$ the subset of $ \mathcal {S}$ consisting of the spirallike functions of order $\alpha $ in $\mathbb {D}$ , that is, functions satisfying

$$\begin{align*}{\mathrm{Re}} \ \bigg\{e^{-i\gamma}\dfrac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\bigg\}>\alpha\cos \gamma, \end{align*}$$

for $z\in \mathbb {D}$ , $0\le \alpha <1$ and $\gamma \in (-\pi /2,\pi /2)$ . We give sharp upper and lower bounds for both $ |a_3|-|a_2| $ and $ |A_3|-|A_2| $ when $f\in \mathcal {S}_p^{* }(\alpha )$ , thus solving an open problem and presenting some new inequalities for coefficient differences.

We establish Bohr inequalities for operator-valued functions, which can be viewed as analogues of a couple of interesting results from scalar-valued settings. Some results of this paper are motivated by the classical flavour of Bohr inequality, while others are based on a generalized concept of the Bohr radius problem.

We prove that if $f:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n$ , for n ≥ 2, is a homeomorphism with bounded skew over all equilateral hyperbolic triangles, then f is in fact quasiconformal. Conversely, we show that if $f:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n$ is quasiconformal then f is η-quasisymmetric in the hyperbolic metric, where η depends only on n and K. We obtain the same result for hyperbolic n-manifolds. Analogous results in $\mathbb{R}^n$ , and metric spaces that behave like $\mathbb{R}^n$ , are known, but as far as we are aware, these are the first such results in the hyperbolic setting, which is the natural metric to use on $\mathbb{B}^n$ .

In this paper, we mainly investigate two versions of the Bohr theorem for slice regular functions over the largest alternative division algebras of octonions $\mathbb {O}$. To this end, we establish the coefficient estimates for self-maps of the unit ball of $\mathbb {O}$ and the Carathéodory class in this setting. As a further application of the coefficient estimate, the 1/2-covering theorem is also proven for slice regular functions with convex image.

For $n\geq 3$ , let $Q_n\subset \mathbb {C}$ be an arbitrary regular n-sided polygon. We prove that the Cauchy transform $F_{Q_n}$ of the normalised two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on $Q_n$ is univalent and starlike but not convex in $\widehat {\mathbb {C}}\setminus Q_n$ .

We show that condenser capacity varies continuously under holomorphic motions, and the corresponding family of the equilibrium measures of the condensers is continuous with respect to the weak-star convergence. We also study the behavior of uniformly perfect sets under holomorphic motions.

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, and connected Riemannian $n$-manifold, for $n\geq 2$, which is not a rational homology sphere. We show that, for a non-constant and non-injective uniformly quasiregular self-map $f:M\rightarrow M$, the topological entropy $h(f)$ is $\log \deg f$. This proves Shub’s entropy conjecture in this case.

Let $f$ be analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ and ${\mathcal{S}}$ be the subclass of normalised univalent functions given by $f(z)=z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_{n}z^{n}$ for $z\in \mathbb{D}$. We give sharp upper and lower bounds for $|a_{3}|-|a_{2}|$ and other related functionals for the subclass ${\mathcal{F}}_{O}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})$ of Ozaki close-to-convex functions.

We prove that for $0<p<+\infty $ and $-1<\alpha <+\infty ,$ a conformal map defined on the unit disk belongs to the weighted Bergman space $A_{\alpha }^p$ if and only if a certain integral involving the hyperbolic distance converges.

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the invariant properties of uniform domains under flattening and sphericalization in nonlocally compact complete metric spaces. Moreover, we show that quasi-Möbius maps preserve uniform domains in nonlocally compact spaces as well.

We consider the problem of minimizing the weighted Dirichlet energy between homeomorphisms of planar annuli. A known challenge lies in the case when the weight λ depends on the independent variable z. We prove that for an increasing radial weight λ(z) the infimal energy within the class of all Sobolev homeomorphisms is the same as in the class of radially symmetric maps. For a general radial weight λ(z) we establish the same result in the case when the target is conformally thin compared to the domain. Fixing the admissible homeomorphisms on the outer boundary we establish the radial symmetry for every such weight.

We show that for any quasimeromorphic mapping with an essential singularity at infinity, there exist points whose iterates tend to infinity arbitrarily slowly. This extends a result by Nicks for quasiregular mappings, and Rippon and Stallard for transcendental meromorphic functions on the complex plane. We further establish a new result for the growth rate of quasiregular mappings near an essential singularity, and briefly extend some results regarding the bounded orbit set and the bungee set to the quasimeromorphic setting.
