Spectral gaps, additive energy, and a fractal uncertainty principle
We obtain an essential spectral gap for -dimensional convex co-compact
hyperbolic manifolds with the dimension of the limit set close to
. The size of the gap is expressed using the additive energy of
stereographic projections of the limit set. This additive energy can in turn be
estimated in terms of the constants in Ahlfors-David regularity of the limit
set. Our proofs use new microlocal methods, in particular a notion of a fractal
uncertainty principle.Comment: 85 pages, 10 figures. To appear in GAF
What is good mathematics?
Some personal thoughts and opinions on what ``good quality mathematics'' is,
and whether one should try to define this term rigorously. As a case study, the
story of Szemer\'edi's theorem is presented.Comment: 12 pages, no figures. To appear, Bull. Amer. Math. So
