On the angular limits of Bloch functions

This paper contains a method to associate to each function f in the little Bloch space another function f* in the Bloch space in such way that f has a finite angular limit where f* is radially bounded. The idea of the method comes from the theory of the lacunary series. An application to conformal mapping from the unit disc to asymptotically Jordan domains is given

Spectral bounds for the Neumann-Poincaré operator on planar domains with corners

The boundary double layer potential, or the Neumann-Poincaré operator, is studied on the Sobolev space of order 1/2 along the boundary, coinciding with the space of charges giving rise to double layer potentials with finite energy in the whole space. Poincaré’s program of studying the spectrum of the boundary double layer potential is developed in complete generality on closed Lipschitz hypersurfaces in euclidean space. Furthermore, the Neumann-Poincaré operator is realized as a singular integral transform bearing similarities to the Beurling-Ahlfors transform in 2 dimensions. As an application, in the case of planar curves with corners, bounds for the spectrum of the Neumann-Poincaré operator are derived from recent results in quasi-conformal mapping theory

Two-Dimensional Critical Percolation: The Full Scaling Limit

We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the triangular lattice -- that is, the scaling limit of the set of all interfaces between different clusters. Some properties of the loop process, including conformal invariance, are also proved.Comment: 45 pages, 12 figures. This is a revised version of math.PR/0504036 without the appendice

Critical points and supersymmetric vacua, III: String/M models

A fundamental problem in contemporary string/M theory is to count the number of inequivalent vacua satisfying constraints in a string theory model. This article contains the first rigorous results on the number and distribution of supersymmetric vacua of type IIb string theories compactified on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ with flux. In particular, complete proofs of the counting formulas in Ashok-Douglas and Denef-Douglas are given, together with van der Corput style remainder estimates. We also give evidence that the number of vacua satisfying the tadpole constraint in regions of bounded curvature in moduli space is of exponential growth in $b_3(X)$.Comment: Final revision for publication in Commun.

A lower bound for the mass of axisymmetric connected black hole data sets

We present a generalisation of the Brill-type proof of positivity of mass for axisymmetric initial data to initial data sets with black hole boundaries. The argument leads to a strictly positive lower bound for the mass of simply connected, connected axisymmetric black hole data sets in terms of the mass of a reference Schwarzschild metric

Boundaries of univalent Baker domains

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $U$ be a univalent Baker domain of $f$. We prove a new result about the boundary behaviour of conformal maps and use this to show that the non-escaping boundary points of $U$ form a set of harmonic measure zero with respect to $U$. This leads to a new sufficient condition for the escaping set of $f$ to be connected, and also a new general result on Eremenko's conjecture

Superposition operators between weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions of controlled growth

The final publication is available at Springer via: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00605-012-0441-6[EN] We characterize the entire functions which transform a weighted Banach space of holomorphic functions on the disc of type H∞ into another such space by superposition. We also show that all the superposition operators induced by such entire functions map bounded sets into bounded sets and are continuous. Superposition operators that map bounded sets into relatively compact sets are also considered. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Wien.The research of Bonet was partially supported by MICINN and FEDER Project MTM2010-15200, by GV project Prometeo/2008/101, and by ACOMP/2012/090.

Partial regularity and t-analytic sets for Banach function algebras

In this note we introduce the notion of t-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling’s conjecture in H infinity. A description of all closed t-analytic sets for the disk-algebra is given. Moreover, we show that some of the assertions in [8] concerning the O-analyticity and S-regularity of certain Banach function algebras are not correct. We also determine the largest set on which a Douglas algebra is pointwise regular
