In this note we will describe a simple and practical approach to get rigorous bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of limits sets for some one dimensional Markov iterated function schemes. The general problem has attracted considerable attention, but we are particularly concerned with the role of the value of the Hausdorff dimension in solving conjectures and problems in other areas of mathematics. As our first application we confirm, and often strengthen, conjectures on the difference of the Lagrange and Markov spectra in Diophantine analysis, which appear in the work of Matheus and Moreira [Comment. Math. Helv. 95 (2020), pp. 593–633]. As a second application we (re-)validate and improve estimates connected with the Zaremba conjecture in number theory, used in the work of Bourgain–Kontorovich [Ann. of Math. (2) 180 (2014), pp. 137–196], Huang [An improvement to Zaremba’s conjecture, ProQuest LLC, Ann Arbor, MI, 2015] and Kan [Mat. Sb. 210 (2019), pp. 75–130]. As a third more geometric application, we rigorously bound the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplacian for infinite area surfaces, as illustrated by an example studied by McMullen [Amer. J. Math. 120 (1998), pp. 691-721]. In all approaches to estimating the dimension of limit sets there are questions about the efficiency of the algorithm, the computational effort required and the rigour of the bounds. The approach we use has the virtues of being simple and efficient and we present it in this paper in a way that is straightforward to implement. These estimates apparently cannot be obtained by other known methods.
在这篇文章中,我们将描述一种简单实用的方法来得到一些一维马尔可夫迭代函数格式的极限集的Hausdorff维的严格界限。一般的问题已经引起了相当大的关注,但我们特别关心的是豪斯多夫维数在解决数学其他领域的猜想和问题中的作用。作为我们的第一个应用,我们证实并经常加强丢芬图分析中关于拉格朗日和马尔可夫谱的差异的猜想,这些猜想出现在Matheus和Moreira的著作中[注释]。数学。《中国科学》(2020),第593-633页。作为第二个应用,我们(重新)验证和改进了与bourgin - kontorovich [Ann]的工作中使用的数论中的Zaremba猜想有关的估计。的数学。(2) 180(2014),第137-196页],Huang[对Zaremba猜想的改进,ProQuest LLC, Ann Arbor, MI, 2015]和Kan [Mat. Sb. 210(2019),第75-130页]。作为第三个几何应用,我们严格限定了无限面积表面的拉普拉斯谱的底部,如McMullen [Amer]研究的一个例子所示。数学学报(1998),第691-721页。在所有估计极限集维数的方法中,都存在关于算法效率、所需计算量和边界严谨性的问题。我们使用的方法具有简单和有效的优点,我们在本文中以一种直接实现的方式呈现它。这些估计显然不能用其他已知的方法得到。

We prove that the real cohomology of semi-simple Lie groups admits boundary values, which are measurable cocycles on the Furstenberg boundary. This generalises known invariants such as the Maslov index on Shilov boundaries, the Euler class on projective space, or the hyperbolic ideal volume on spheres. In rank one, this leads to an isomorphism between the cohomology of the group and of this boundary model. In higher rank, additional classes appear, which we determine completely.

We examine Euclidean plane domains with their hyperbolic or quasihyperbolic distance. We prove that the associated metric spaces are quasisymmetrically equivalent if and only if they are bi-Lipschitz equivalent. On the other hand, for Gromov hyperbolic domains, the two corresponding Gromov boundaries are always quasisymmetrically equivalent. Surprisingly, for any finitely connected hyperbolic domain, these two metric spaces are always quasiisometrically equivalent. We construct examples where the spaces are not quasiisometrically equivalent.

Many papers have studied inequalities for partition functions. Recently, a number of papers have considered mixtures between additive and multiplicative behavior in such inequalities. In particular, Chern–Fu–Tang and Heim–Neuhauser gave conjectures on inequalities for coefficients of powers of the generating partition function. These conjectures were posed in the context of colored partitions and the Nekrasov–Okounkov formula. Here, we study the precise size of differences of products of two such coefficients. This allows us to prove the Chern–Fu–Tang conjecture and to show the Heim–Neuhauser conjecture in a certain range. The explicit error terms provided will also be useful in the future study of partition inequalities. These are laid out in a user-friendly way for the researcher in combinatorics interested in such analytic questions.

The paper studies the Hausdorff dimension of harmonic measures on various boundaries of a relatively hyperbolic group which are associated with random walks driven by a probability measure with finite first moment. With respect to the Floyd metric and the shortcut metric, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the harmonic measure equals the ratio of the entropy and the drift of the random walk. If the group is infinitely-ended, the same dimension formula is obtained for the end boundary endowed with a visual metric. In addition, the Hausdorff dimension of the visual metric is identified with the growth rate of the word metric. These results are complemented by a characterization of doubling visual metrics for accessible infinitely-ended groups: the visual metrics on the end boundary is doubling if and only if the group is virtually free. Consequently, there are at least two different bi-Hölder classes (and thus quasi-symmetric classes) of visual metrics on the end boundary.

On any closed Riemannian manifold of dimension n ≥ 3 ngeq 3 , we prove that if a function nearly minimizes the Yamabe energy, then the corresponding conformal metric is close, in a quantitative sense, to a minimizing Yamabe metric in the conformal class. Generically, this distance is controlled quadratically by the Yamabe energy deficit. Finally, we produce an example for which this quadratic estimate is false.
