In this manuscript, we study the (finite-dimensional) static formulation of quantum optimal transport problems with general convex regularization and its unbalanced relaxation. In both cases, we show a duality result, characterizations of minimizers (for the primal) and maximizers (for the dual). An important tool we define is a non-commutative version of the classical -transforms associated with a general convex regularization, which we employ to prove the convergence of the associated Sinkhorn iterations. Finally, we show the convergence of the unbalanced transport problems towards the constrained one, as well as the convergence of transforms, as the marginal penalization parameters go to +∞.

For a self-symmetric tracial von Neumann algebra A, we study rescalings of for and and use them to obtain an interpolation for all real numbers and . We get formulas for their free products, and free products with finite-dimensional or hyperfinite von Neumann algebras. In particular, for any such A, we can compute compressions for , and the Murray-von Neumann fundamental group of . When A is also non-separable and abelian, this answers two questions in Section 4.3 of [4].
对于自对称跟踪von Neumann代数a,我们研究了n∈n,r∈(1,∞)下a * n * LFr的重标化,并利用它们得到了对所有实数s>;0和1 - s<;r≤∞的插值f,r(a)。我们得到它们的自由积的公式,以及有限维或超有限冯·诺伊曼代数的自由积。特别地,对于任何这样的A,我们可以计算0<;t<;1的压缩(A n)t,以及A∞的Murray-von Neumann基本群。当A也是不可分的且是阿贝尔的,这回答了[4]第4.3节中的两个问题。

In this paper, we establish a broad class of new sharp Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities involving general convex weight functions for static convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. Additionally, we derive new weighted Minkowski-type inequalities for static convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and for convex hypersurfaces in the sphere . The tools we shall use are the locally constrained inverse curvature flows in hyperbolic space and in the sphere.

We consider the n eigenvalues of the complex and symplectic induced spherical ensembles, which can be realised as two-dimensional determinantal and Pfaffian Coulomb gases on the Riemann sphere under the insertion of point charges. For both cases, we show that the probability that there are no eigenvalues in a spherical cap around a pole has an asymptotic behaviour as of the form and we determine the coefficients explicitly. Our results provide the second example of precise (up to and including the constant term) large gap asymptotic behaviours for a two-dimensional point process, following a recent breakthrough by Charlier.

In this paper, we establish local well-posedness results for the Muskat equation in any dimension using modulus of continuity techniques. By introducing a novel quantity which encapsulates local monotonicity and slope, we identify a new class of initial data within . This includes scenarios where the product of the maximal and minimal slopes is large, thereby guaranteeing the local existence of a classical solution.

We investigate Wiener's Tauberian theorem from the perspective of limit functions, which results in several new versions of the Tauberian theorem. Based on this, we formulate and prove analogous Tauberian theorems for operators in the sense of quantum harmonic analysis. Using these results, we characterize the class of slowly oscillating operators and show that this class is strictly larger than the class of uniformly continuous operators. Finally, we discuss uniform versions of Wiener's Tauberian theorem and its operator analogue and provide an application of this in operator theory.

In this paper we study the dispersive properties of a two dimensional massless Dirac equation perturbed by an Aharonov–Bohm magnetic field. Our main results will be a family of pointwise decay estimates and a full range family Strichartz estimates for the flow. The proof relies on the use of a relativistic Hankel transform, which allows for an explicit representation of the propagator in terms of the generalized eigenfunctions of the operator. These results represent the natural continuation of earlier research on evolution equations associated to operators with magnetic fields with strong singularities (see [21], [36], [37] where the Schrödinger and the wave equations were studied). Indeed, we recall the fact that the Aharonov–Bohm field represents a perturbation which is critical with respect to the scaling: this fact, as it is well known, makes the analysis particularly challenging.

Our main result establishes that the asymptotic stability threshold is at most for Sobolev perturbations with additional control over low horizontal frequencies, aligning with the threshold results in periodic domains.
