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 be a transcendental entire function and let be a univalent Baker domain of . We prove a new result about the boundary behaviour of conformal maps and use this to show that the non-escaping boundary points of form a set of harmonic measure zero with respect to . This leads to a new sufficient condition for the escaping set of to be connected, and also a new general result on Eremenko's conjecture
Strong asymptotics for Jacobi polynomials with varying nonstandard parameters
Strong asymptotics on the whole complex plane of a sequence of monic Jacobi
polynomials is studied, assuming that with and satisfying , , . The
asymptotic analysis is based on the non-Hermitian orthogonality of these
polynomials, and uses the Deift/Zhou steepest descent analysis for matrix
Riemann-Hilbert problems. As a corollary, asymptotic zero behavior is derived.
We show that in a generic case the zeros distribute on the set of critical
trajectories of a certain quadratic differential according to the
equilibrium measure on in an external field. However, when either
, or are geometrically close to ,
part of the zeros accumulate along a different trajectory of the same quadratic
differential.Comment: 31 pages, 12 figures. Some references added. To appear in Journal

Critical curves in conformally invariant statistical systems
We consider critical curves -- conformally invariant curves that appear at
critical points of two-dimensional statistical mechanical systems. We show how
to describe these curves in terms of the Coulomb gas formalism of conformal
field theory (CFT). We also provide links between this description and the
stochastic (Schramm-) Loewner evolution (SLE). The connection appears in the
long-time limit of stochastic evolution of various SLE observables related to
CFT primary fields. We show how the multifractal spectrum of harmonic measure
and other fractal characteristics of critical curves can be obtained.Comment: Published versio
