A Sharp Surface-Area Extension of Vaaler's Theorem
Michał Zwierzyński
Karasev proved, in dimensions two and three, a sharp surface-area counterpart of a polyhedral extension of Vaaler's
theorem [8,
Theorem 1.2]. We remove the dimension restriction. More precisely, if an $n$-dimensional convex polytope $P$ contains the origin in its interior and the affine hull of every nonempty proper face of codimension $k\in\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is at distance at least $\sqrt{k}$ from the origin, then $$ \mathcal{H}^{n-1}(\partial P)\geqslant n2^n. $$ Consequently, the boundary of every $n$-dimensional linear section of the cube $[-1,1]^N$ has $(n-1)$-dimensional measure at least $n2^n$. This confirms, in all dimensions, a
conjecture of Grigory M. Ivanov recorded by Karasev [8, Section 1]. The proof combines the Rogers–Karasev flag decomposition with a dimension-free Gaussian comparison for orthoschemes. Its main step is an ordered-square substitution which converts all face-distance assumptions into a pointwise domination of a single positive integral. We also disprove the naive extension to all skeletal measures, formulate a ridge-skeleton
conjecture, and establish two partial results toward it.

Resolving the generalized hyperbolicity conjecture for shadowing
Mihály Pituk
It is known that generalized hyperbolicity implies the shadowing property for invertible bounded linear operators on a Banach space. Whether the converse holds has been a central open problem in linear dynamics and has been conjectured to have a positive answer. We show that this
conjecture fails on general Banach spaces by constructing a counterexample, whereas it holds on separable
Hilbert spaces. The distinction is explained by the gap that may occur on Banach spaces between surjectivity and right invertibility, a gap that disappears on
Hilbert spaces. The main ingredients of the proofs are a recent spectral characterization of shadowing in terms of the surjective spectrum and a new characterization of generalized hyperbolicity in terms of right resolvent functions near the unit circle.

Factorization and Atomic Decomposition in Hardy-Orlicz Spaces on the Upper Half-Plane with Applications to Hankel Operators
Jean-Marcel Tanoh Dje, Justin Feuto and Benoît F. Sehba
In this work, we establish a strong factorization for Hardy-Orlicz spaces on the upper half-plane. We show that the product of two functions belonging respectively to Hardy-Orlicz spaces $H^{\Phi_{1}}$ and $H^{\Phi_{2}}$ lies in a third space $H^{\Phi_{3}}$, and every holomorphic function in $H^{\Phi_{3}}$ admits such a decomposition. We then provide an atomic decomposition for certain Hardy-Orlicz spaces, which allows us to describe the topological dual of these spaces when the associated function is concave. Finally, these results are applied to the study of the continuity of the Hankel operators in this setting.

An optimal Poincaré inequality for the complex Ginibre log-gas
Djalil Chafaï
We establish an optimal Poincaré inequality for real-valued symmetric observables of the complex Ginibre log-gas. Equality is attained by the real and imaginary parts of the center-of-mass observable. Equivalently, we determine the exact spectral gap of the associated overdamped Langevin dynamics, for real symmetric observables. The Hessian of the energy of this log-gas is unbounded below, so standard convexity arguments do not directly apply. The proof instead combines a Vandermonde transform, a holomorphic projection, and a complex Gaussian d-bar spectral-gap estimate, corresponding to the constant-
curvature case of the Hörmander-Berndtsson estimate. It is short and self-contained. It remains valid, beyond the quadratic potential, for rotationally invariant additive plurisubharmonic potential perturbations. Additionally, we provide four alternative proofs, two of which yield sum-of-squares formulas for the deficit, based respectively on a Hermite expansion and on an integrated Bochner-Kodaira formula, the other two use the spectral analysis of a two-sided number-operator factorization and a Hermite-Slater
polynomial expansion. We furthermore present new results related to linear statistics, Gaussian factorization,
polynomial eigenfunctions, log-Sobolev inequalities,
matrix lift and eigenvector overlaps, and non-quadratic potentials.

Minimum attaining operators on reducing subspaces: Spectral structure and density
Puspendu Nag and Golla Ramesh
In this article, we introduce and investigate a new subclass $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$ of minimum attaining operators on a separable
Hilbert space $H$. This class contains the absolutely minimum attaining operators and is properly contained in the class of minimum attaining operators. We establish several structural and spectral characterizations of operators in $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$. In particular, we characterize positive operators in $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$ in terms of their spectral representations. We prove that $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$ is dense in $\mathcal{B}(H)$ in the operator norm and, moreover, that the operators in $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$ having a nontrivial invariant half-space are also dense in $\mathcal{B}(H)$ in the operator norm. We further obtain a representation
theorem for normal operators in $\mathcal{M}_r(H)$ and establish additional structural properties of this class.

The Boundedness Problem for Generalized Hilbert Operators on Hardy Spaces
David Norrbo, José Ángel Peláez and Fanglei Wu
Let $g$ be analytic in the unit disc and consider the generalized
Hilbert operator $$ \mathcal{H}_g(f)(z)=\int_0^1 f(t)g'(tz)\, dt. $$ The boundedness of $\mathcal H_g$ on $H^p$ is characterized by the mean Lipschitz condition $g\in\Lambda\left(p,\frac{1}{p}\right)$ when $1<p\leq2$, while the problem remains open for $2<p<\infty$. It has been recently proved that the condition $g\in\Lambda\left(p,\frac{1}{p}\right)$ does not imply the boundedness of $\mathcal H_g$ on $H^p$, $2<p<\infty$ \cite{GuoTang2026}. We show that this condition is far from sufficient in the latter range: for every $2<p<\infty$, there exists a function $g\in\Lambda\left(p,\frac{1}{p}\right)$ such that $\mathcal H_g$ is not bounded even from $H^p$ into $H^1$. The main ingredient is an exact characterization of the boundedness of $\mathcal{H}_g:H^p\to H^2$ for all $1\leq p\leq\infty$. In particular, when $2<p<\infty$, this mapping is bounded if and only if $g'$ belongs to a certain mixed-norm space. For lacunary symbols, the same mixed-norm condition also characterizes the boundedness of $\mathcal H_g$ on $H^p$, and hence gives a complete solution of the open problem within this class of symbols. We also show that, for $1\leq q\leq\infty$, boundedness of $\mathcal H_g:H^1\to H^q$ is characterized by the condition $g'\in H^q$. We also characterize compactness of $\mathcal H_g$ in the aforementioned cases.

Local Hardy Spaces Associated with Operators and Ball Quasi-Banach Function Spaces on Doubling Metric Measure Spaces and Their Applications
Xiaosheng Lin and Xiaotian Zhu
Let $(\mathcal{X},d,\mu)$ be a doubling metric measure space, $X$ a ball quasi-Banach function space on $\mathcal{X}$, and $L$ a non-negative self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathcal{X})$ whose heat kernel satisfies a Gaussian upper bound. In this article, we study the local Hardy space $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ associated with both $X$ and $L$. We first establish the atomic and molecular characterizations of $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$. As applications of these characterizations, we obtain the relations between $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ and the global Hardy spaces $H_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ and $H_{X,L+mI}(\mathcal{X})$. We also establish the radial and non-tangential maximal function characterizations of $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$. Using these maximal function characterizations, under the additional assumptions that the heat kernel satisfies the conservation property and a Hölder regularity estimate, we further show that $h_{X,L}(\mathcal{X})$ coincides with the local atomic Hardy space $h_{X,\mathrm{at}}^p(\mathcal{X})$ with equivalent quasi-norms in the corresponding range of indices. Finally, we apply the above results to Lebesgue spaces, Orlicz spaces, weighted Lebesgue spaces, and variable Lebesgue spaces.

Spectral dynamics for the Basilica group
Hongyi Liu and Wei He
The projective spectrum of a tuple $A=(A_0,A_1,\dots,A_n)$ with elements in a unital Banach
algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is the collection of $[z_0:z_1:\cdots:z_n]\in \mathbb{P}^n$ such that $z_0A_0+z_1A_1+\dots+z_nA_n$ is not invertible in $\mathcal{A}$. For the tuple $A_{\rho}=(\rho({\bf e}),\rho({\bf a}),\rho({\bf b}))$, where ${\bf e},{\bf a},{\bf b}$ are the three states of the automaton generating the Basilica group $\mathcal{B}$ and $\rho$ is the Koopman representation, a dynamical map $F$ preserving the projective spectrum of $A_{\rho}$ is established. Further, a substantial common subset of the Julia set of $F$ and the projective spectrum of $A_{\rho}$, as well as a large common subset of the Fatou set of $F$ and the projective resolvent set of $A_{\rho}$ is identified. The result provides partial support for the
conjecture of equality of the Julia set of $F$ and the projective spectrum of $A_{\rho}$.

Characterization of Supporting Functionals at Points of the Unit Sphere of Orlicz-Lorentz Spaces
Di Wang and Yongjin Li
In this paper we give a complete characterization of the supporting functionals at any point on the unit sphere of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces $\Lambda_{\varphi, \omega}$. Departing from traditional approaches, we establish our results without assuming that the Orlicz function $\varphi$ is an N–function. These results provide a basis for studying the extremal structures of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces.

Adaptive resolution frames: A multilevel framework in Hilbert spaces
Jahangir Cheshmavar
We introduce adaptive resolution frames (AR-frames), a class of weighted frames equipped with a partitioned index structure that models multiple resolution levels in
Hilbert spaces. We establish a block-triangular representation of the associated operators and prove the convergence of an iterative reconstruction method with explicit error estimates. We further derive optimal block-diagonal preconditioners that minimize the iteration error and obtain stability results showing that AR-frames and their canonical reconstruction operators remain stable under sufficiently small weighted perturbations. These results provide a unified framework for efficient reconstruction and perturbation analysis of AR-frames.

Comparison inequalities for Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps
Denis S. Grebenkov, Michael Levitin, Karl-Mikael Perfekt et al. (+1 more)
We prove comparison inequalities for Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps corresponding to different non-positive Helmholtz parameters. For convex domains our bounds are sharp, and the resulting
eigenvalue inequalities partially confirm an earlier
conjecture, which we show does not hold in full generality. We further obtain geometry-dependent versions for arbitrary sufficiently regular domains, together with extensions to compact Riemannian
manifolds with boundary. We also discuss analogous questions for metric graphs.

Isomorphisms between symmetric spaces over infinite and finite von Neumann algebras
Jinghao Huang, Fedor Sukochev and Dmitriy Zanin
The primary aim of this paper is to show a linear topological isomorphism between (elements of a wide class {of}) symmetric spaces over the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $\mathcal{R}$ and certain symmetric operator space over the hyperfinite $II_\infty $ factor $\mathcal{R}\bar{\otimes}\mathcal{L}(H))$. Precisely, we show that for any symmetric function space $E(0,1)$ (in the sense of Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri) such that both $E(0,1)$ and its Köthe dual have the Kruglov property, the symmetric operator space $E(\mathcal{R})$ is isomorphic to some symmetric space $Z_E^2(\mathcal{R}\bar{\otimes}\mathcal{L}(H))$. This result establishes a noncommutative version of a well-known result due to Johnson, Maurey, Schechtman and Tzafriri, and answers the noncommutative version of a question due to Mityagin.

Verblunsky coefficients, CMV matrices and numerical invariants of homogeneous bidisc submodules
Yufeng Lu and Chao Zu
Let $[p]$ be the principal submodule generated by a
polynomial in $H^2(\mathbb D^2)$. For homogeneous $p$, the homogeneous slices of $[p]$ admit a weighted OPUC model in which the two wandering vectors are an orthonormal
polynomial and its reversal. We show that the associated Verblunsky coefficients determine the singular values of the wandering-projection product and the restricted cross-commutator, as well as the non-zero spectrum of the core operator. Toeplitz-determinant and Mahler-measure identities yield exact Fredholm determinants and Schatten estimates, while $[(z-w)^N]$ rules out a uniform
Hilbert–Schmidt bound. The same model gives explicit singular values of $[S_z^*,S_w]$ on the homogeneous quotient $H^2(\mathbb D^2)\ominus[p]$; for $p=(z-w)^N$, its squared
Hilbert–Schmidt norm is asymptotic to $N$. For arbitrary
polynomial generators, we construct a weighted bivariate model with a doubly Toeplitz, block-banded moment
matrix and prove $C_p^2|_{\mathscr E_z}=\Gamma_p^*\Gamma_p$, relating the core spectrum to the cross-Gram operator between the two edge spaces. We also discuss cyclic-factor obstructions, represent higher numerical invariants by alternating CMV products, and give a quadratic counterexample to their proposed monotonicity.

Norms of multiplication operators: answering Fialkow–Loebl question
Jinghao Huang, Fedor Sukochev, Ran Xu et al. (+1 more)
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a factor equipped with a semi-finite faithful normal trace $\tau$. Let $E(0,\infty)$ be a symmetrically normed function space and $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be the corresponding symmetrically normed operator space. Suppose that $a, b$ are $\tau$-measurable operators affiliated with $\mathcal{M}$. It is shown that the range of the multiplication operator $S_{a,b}: x\mapsto axb$ on $\mathcal{M}$ is contained in $E(\mathcal{M}, \tau)$ if and only if $\mu(a)\mu(b)$ belongs to $E(0, \infty)$, where $\mu(x)$ stands for the generalized singular value function of a $\tau$-measurable operators $x$ affiliated with $\mathcal{M}$. Moreover, we have $$ \|S_{a,b}\|_{\mathcal{M}\to E(\mathcal{M},\tau)}= \| \mu(a )\mu( b) \|_{E (0,\infty) }, $$ which answers a question by Fialkow and Loebl (1984). We also consider the quasi-normed case, and show that the natural quasi-norm of weak $L_p$-space, $0<p<\infty$, is not monotone with respect to the logarithmic submajorisation.
