The sharp $L^p$ bound for the imaginary part of the Beurling-Ahlfors operator on the lattice
Komla Domelevo and Stefanie Petermichl
We prove the sharp $\ell^p$ bound $p^\star-1$ for certain second-order discrete Riesz transforms on products of integers, in all dimensions. The family includes the imaginary part of the discrete Beurling-Ahlfors operator in dimension two as a special case. While these operators admit a martingale representation via compound Poisson jump processes and heat extensions, the martingale attached to a function and the martingale attached to its transform do not enjoy strong differential subordination, so the operator-norm estimate is not accessible through prior work.

Diameter-free reverse inequalities and superorthogonality
Adam Cushman, Ciprian Demeter and Shukun Wu
We prove three results as part of the program of diameter-free estimates initiated in [CDW26]. The first two are reverse square function estimates for the light cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We first establish an abstract $L^4$ inequality of independent interest, under an ordered superorthogonality hypothesis: for every four distinct indices, only the two nonalternating pairings are required to vanish. The loss is $C(1+\log N)^2$, where $N$ is the number of functions. An alternating-determinant argument verifies this hypothesis for separated cone sectors. This gives a diameter-free estimate for arbitrary disjoint angular intervals, at the thickness determined by their smallest width, with no upper restriction on the radial parameter. For the canonical equal-width partition on a fixed radial annulus, we obtain the loss $C(1+\log N)^{1/4}$, which is sharp up to constants. This refines the estimate by Guth-Wang-Zhang, via a different approach. The improvement uses additional orthogonality between diagonal and off-diagonal differences, together with bounded overlap of dyadic difference shells. Our third result is the diameter-free $\ell^2L^6$ decoupling for arbitrary partitions of the parabola, with an $N^\varepsilon$ loss independent of the interval widths. The argument is an adaptation of the method from \cite{Cushman-Demeter-Wu} and implies their three-fold additive-energy estimate for the parabola. The three proofs use variants of interlacing and special orthogonality in place of wave packet analysis, multilinearity and parabolic/Lorentz rescaling. Together, these results provide further evidence for the scope of the paradigm introduced in [CDW26].

Equal-Phase Monotonicity for Weighted Jacobi-Radau Functions and Jacobi Lebesgue Constants
K. Castillo and P.-C. Hang
For the Jacobi family with parameters $(0,\beta)$, $\beta\geq-1/3$, we prove a continuous comparison
theorem for the associated weighted Jacobi–Radau functions. When two consecutive functions are parametrised by the same Prüfer phase, the function of higher degree attains that phase closer to $\theta=0$ and has strictly larger amplitude. In particular, the moduli of all corresponding relative extrema increase strictly with the degree. The lower bound $-1/3$ is sharp for this continuous statement: when $-1<\beta<-1/3$, the amplitude inequality is reversed at sufficiently small positive phases. This local reversal does not determine the optimal range for the discrete extremal inequalities. For $-1/3\leq\beta\leq0$, the positive Jacobi product formula identifies the endpoint values of the Lebesgue functions with the global Lebesgue constants, so $(\Lambda_n^{(0,\beta)})_{n\geq0}$ is strictly increasing. At $\beta=0$ the weighted Radau functions reduce to $P_m^{(0,-1)}$. We thereby recover the
theorem of Wong and Zhang and obtain, through an exact total-variation formula, a short proof of the Qu–Wong
theorem on Legendre Lebesgue constants. The representation and the termwise comparison together realise the alternative-expression approach proposed by Qu and Wong, without asymptotic expansions, error bounds, or finite numerical verification. The proof is based on the equal-phase Prüfer architecture developed in the first author's earlier preprint arXiv:2608.01404; it applies that architecture to the problem posed by Qu and Wong.

Sharp $L^2 \to L^4$ extension inequality for quadratic surfaces in finite fields
Pedro Ronda
In this work, we establish the sharp $L^2 \to L^4$ extension inequality for a large class of quadratic surfaces in $\mathbb{F}^3$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a finite field of odd characteristic. These surfaces include the cones without the origin and the spheres with nonzero radius $j$ such that $-j$ is not a square in $\mathbb{F}$. We also show that the maximizers of these inequalities must have constant modulus.

Exotic operators on the Hardy spaces of the infinite-dimensional torus
Viktor Andersson
We quantify the failure of interpolation between Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbb T^\infty)$ on the infinite-dimensional
torus. For any set $A\subseteq[1,\infty]$ such that $A\setminus\{\infty\}$ is closed in $[1,\infty)$, we show that there exists an operator that is densely defined on $H^p(\mathbb T^\infty)$ for all $1\leq p<\infty$ and weak-$\ast$ densely defined on $H^\infty(\mathbb T^\infty)$ that extends to a bounded linear operator on $H^p(\mathbb T^\infty)$ if and only if $p\in A$.

Hardy–Littlewood Maximal Operator and Two-Layer Muckenhoupt Weights on Infinite Rooted $k$-Ary Trees
Dachun Yang, Wen Yuan and Mingdong Zhang
Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer, $T$ an infinite rooted $k$-ary tree, and $M$ the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator on $T$. For any $p\in(0,\infty)$, we characterize the weight $w$ such that $M$ is bounded on $L^p(w)$. To this end, we introduce a two-layer Muckenhoupt weight class $\mathscr A_p$ and prove that, for any $p\in(\frac{1}{2},\infty)$, the boundedness of $M$ on $L^p(w)$, $w\in\mathscr A_p$, and the exponential decay boundedness of spherical averaging operators on $L^p(w)$ are mutually equivalent, and that, when $p\in(0,\frac{1}{2}]$, there exists no weight $w$ such that $M$ is bounded on $L^p(w)$. Moreover, for any $p\in(\frac{1}{2},\infty)$, we establish the quantitative estimate, with the optimal exponent $\frac{1}{p}$ of the weight constant, for the boundedness of $M$ on $L^p(w)$. For any $p\in(1,\infty)$, we also obtain two further equivalent characterizations of the boundedness of $M$ on $L^p(w)$, respectively, in terms of a global Sawyer-type testing condition and an estimate for the weighted product measure of distance incidence sets. As applications, for any $p\in(\frac{1}{2},\infty)$, under the assumption that $M$ is bounded on $L^p(w)$, we establish the boundedness of exponentially decaying kernel operators on $L^p(w)$ and weighted Fefferman–Stein vector-valued inequalities.

Tangent-cone cancellation and Maz'ya's $\Phi$-inequalities on finitely cornered planar domains
Zhouyu Long and Wenming Zou
Let $0<\alpha<2$ and $p=2/(2-\alpha)$. We study critical nonlinear convolution inequalities for kernels $K:\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb{R}^m$ and functions $\Phi:\mathbb{R}^m\to\mathbb{R}$ positively homogeneous of degrees $\alpha-2$ and $p$. We assume angular Lipschitz regularity for $\Phi$ and angular $C^{0,\gamma}$ regularity for $K$, where $0<\gamma\le1$ and $\gamma=1$ if $p<2$. On bounded finitely cornered planar domains with a common Dini tangent modulus on the boundary branches, we characterize $|\int_\Omega\Phi(K*f) dx|\le C\|f\|_{L^1}^p$ for real densities $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)\cap L^s_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^2)$, $1<s\le\infty$, by signed angular cancellation on the plane, tangent half-planes, and full vertex tangent cones. An analogous criterion holds on infinite sectors for compactly supported mean-zero densities. For the Newton kernel and each nonzero angularly Lipschitz, positively two-homogeneous $\Phi:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$ with vanishing half-circle moments, we construct a bounded convex $C^1$ domain $\Omega_\Phi$, independent of $\varepsilon$, and smooth tests $u_\varepsilon$ satisfying $\|\Delta u_\varepsilon\|_{L^1(\Omega_\Phi)}+\|\partial_nu_\varepsilon\|_{L^1(\partial\Omega_\Phi)}\le2$, while, despite tangent cancellation, their nonlinear integrals grow in magnitude like $\log\log(1/\varepsilon)$. On the Dini class, a constant-preserving linear extension with compact support modulo the domain mean and controlled measure-valued
Laplacian yields the same necessary-and-sufficient criterion for the Newton-kernel PDE inequality, without exact corner charts. We also construct infinite-dimensional cancellation spaces containing nonquadratic functions and classify the quadratic locus in polygon moduli.

Littlewood-Paley theory for orthogonal expansions associated with root systems
Lukas Langen and Margit Rösler
We introduce the non-symmetric heat and Poisson semigroups associated with the Heckman-Opdam
Laplacian in the compact setting. Based on the Poisson semigroup, we study several Littlewood-Paley $g$-functions in the spirit of Stein's work for compact Lie groups and prove their $L^{p}$-boundedness for $1<p\leq 2$ and for some of them also for $1<p<\infty$. As an application, we define associated Riesz transforms and imaginary powers and prove their $L^{p}$-continuity for $1<p<\infty$. Passing to the average with respect to the action of the associated reflection group, we obtain $L^{p}$-boundedness of $g$-functions for the symmetric Poisson semigroup for all $1<p<\infty$. In particular, our framework covers the Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory for Jacobi
polynomial expansions and corresponding direct product settings as special cases.

Some extremal problem for martingale transforms. III
Vasily Vasyunin
This paper is a direct continuation of papers arxiv:2401.00053 and arxiv:2507.09332. By this reason, neither the introductory part of the paper nor the bibliography are duplicated here. However, for the reader's convenience, the formulas from the previous papers that are referenced are given in a special addendum at the end of the paper under their original numbers. In this paper, we investigate new local foliations: major and medium pockets and several bilinearity regions. The appearance of such local foliations is illustrated by further analysis of examples with third-degree
polynomials. At the end of the paper, a complete overview of possible foliations is given when the boundary values are third-degree
polynomials.

Asymptotics of the coefficients of polynomials, asymptotic zero distribution and free probability
Walter Van Assche
The asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of a sequence of
polynomials is given under the conditions that all the zeros are real and positive and the zeros have an asymptotic zero distribution on $(0,\infty)$. We show how the limit for the coefficients is related to the Stieltjes transform of the asymptotic zero distribution and make a connection with the $S$-transform in free probability. We illustrate with some examples involving orthogonal and multiple orthogonal
polynomials.

Minimal central slices of the regular simplex
Gergely Ambrus and Barnabás Gárgyán
We prove that minimal-volume hyperplane sections of the regular simplex through its centroid are parallel to a facet. The proof combines variational methods with
Fourier-analytic techniques and zero-diminishing arguments to show that every critical normal vector has at most three distinct non-zero coordinates. Analysis of the two- and three-value cases then yields the sharp lower bound.

Bourgain's Lambda(p) selection theorem: a greedy proof with polynomial failure bounds
Will Burstein, Alex Iosevich and Ben Krause
We give a self-contained proof of Bourgain's finite $\Lambda(p)$ selection
theorem with an explicit probability bound. For every $p>2$ and $N\ge2$, given $N$ pairwise orthogonal functions bounded by one on a probability space, a uniformly chosen subsystem of cardinality $\lceil N^{\frac{2}{p}}\rceil$ satisfies the $\Lambda(p)$ inequality with probability at least $1-\frac{1}{N}$, with a constant depending only on $p$. The inequality holds simultaneously for all complex coefficient vectors. More generally, for every fixed $A>0$, the success probability is at least $1-\frac{1}{N^A}$ with a constant depending only on $p$ and $A$, and independent of $N$. The proof uses a greedy approximation in $L^r$, with $r>2$, whose potential decreases throughout all approximation scales. A single weighted bound on the cumulative number of updates controls a union bound over discrete update histories, and increasing the weight assigned to each history gives the prescribed failure exponent without changing the cardinality exponent.

The norm of the centered Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator
José Madrid
We determine the exact $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ norm of the centered Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator for every $1<p<\infty$, proving that it equals $p/(p-1)$. This settles the sharp strong-type problem for the centered maximal operator on the real line. For every $p$ in this range, the norm is strictly larger than the constant associated with the critical power $|x|^{-1/p}$, thereby disproving the
conjecture of Dror, Ganguli, and Strichartz that this profile determines the unrestricted norm.

Weighted Endpoint Variational and Jump Inequalites for Rough Singular Integrals
Ting Chen, Feng Liu and Zhou Wang
In this present paper, we study the weighted weak type $(1,\,1)$ bounds for rough maximal singular integral operators as well as the the corresponding variation and jump operators. Our first result is the weighted weak type $(1,\,1)$ bound for the maximal singular integral $$T_{\Omega}^{*}f(x)=\sup\limits_{\varepsilon>0}|T_{\varepsilon,\Omega}f(x)|=\sup\limits_{\varepsilon>0}\bigg|\int_{|x-y|>\varepsilon} \frac{\Omega(x-y)}{|x-y|^{d}}f(y)dy\bigg|,$$ where $\Omega\in L^\infty(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$, homogeneous of degree zero, and satisfies the cancellation condition. We show that $$\|T_{\Omega}^{*}\|_{L^1(w)\rightarrow L^{1,\infty}(w)}\lesssim[w]_{A_1}[w]_{A_\infty}\log([w]_{A_\infty}+1),$$ where $w$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt class $A_1(\mathbb{R}^d)$. This represents an essential improvement of a result (Honzík, Inter.Math. Res. Not. 2020) and a result (Bhojak and Mohanty, J. Funct. Anal.2023). Our second one is the weighted weak type $(1,\,1)$ bounds for variation and jump operators corresponding to $\{T_{\varepsilon,\Omega}\}_{\varepsilon\in2^{\mathbb{Z}}}$ and $\{T_{\varepsilon, \Omega}^{\phi}\}_{\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R}^{+}}$ under the condition $\Omega\in L^\infty(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$, where $T_{\epsilon,\Omega}^{\phi}$ represents a smooth truncation of rough singular integral operator.These results of this part are the first weighted weak type $(1,\,1)$ variation inequalities and jump inequalities for rough singular integrals.
