A rigidity phenomenon for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function

Stefan Steinerberger (2015)

Studia Mathematica

The Hardy-Littlewood maximal function ℳ and the trigonometric function sin x are two central objects in harmonic analysis. We prove that ℳ characterizes sin x in the following way: Let f C α ( , ) be a periodic function and α > 1/2. If there exists a real number 0 < γ < ∞ such that the averaging operator ( A x f ) ( r ) = 1 / 2 r x - r x + r f ( z ) d z has a critical point at r = γ for every x ∈ ℝ, then f(x) = a + bsin(cx+d) for some a,b,c,d ∈ ℝ. This statement can be used to derive a characterization of trigonometric functions as those nonconstant...

A trio of Bernoulli relations, their implications for the Ramanujan polynomials and the special values of the Riemann zeta function

M. C. Lettington (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, 'Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and Grosswald, the transcendence of the zeta function at odd integer values, the Li Criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis and pseudo-characteristic polynomials for zeta related functions. We begin with a recent result for ζ(2s) and some seemingly new Bernoulli relations,...

A two-dimensional continued fraction algorithm with Lagrange and Dirichlet properties

Christian Drouin (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

A Lagrange Theorem in dimension 2 is proved in this paper, for a particular two dimensional continued fraction algorithm, with a very natural geometrical definition. Dirichlet type properties for the convergence of this algorithm are also proved. These properties proceed from a geometrical quality of the algorithm. The links between all these properties are studied. In relation with this algorithm, some references are given to the works of various authors, in the domain of multidimensional continued...
