Rigidity of Koebe Polyhedra and Inversive Distance Circle Packings

This paper establishes the global rigidity of hyperbolic inversive distance circle packings on the 2-sphere, and equivalently of Koebe polyhedra in the Beltrami-Klein model, under mild assumptions on vertex links, thereby generalizing previous rigidity results and the uniqueness part of the Koebe-Andreev-Thurston Theorem to cases where adjacent circles need not touch.

Reverse square function estimates for degenerate curves and its applications

This paper establishes L4L^4 reverse square function estimates for functions with Fourier support near degenerate curves {(ξ,ξa)}\{(\xi,\xi^a)\} (for a1a \neq 1), which are then applied to derive sharp L4L^4 Strichartz estimates for fractional Schrödinger equations on the one-dimensional torus and new local smoothing estimates in modulation spaces.

Counting spaces of functions on separable compact lines

This paper investigates the number of isomorphism types of Banach spaces C(K)C(K) for compact spaces of a given weight, proving that there are exactly $2^\kappatypesforanyuncountableregularcardinal types for any uncountable regular cardinal \kappa,whiledemonstratingthatforseparablecompactlinearlyorderedspacesofweight, while demonstrating that for separable compact linearly ordered spaces of weight \omega_1,thenumberoftypes(rangingfromoneto, the number of types (ranging from one to 2^{\omega_1}$) depends on additional set-theoretic axioms such as the Continuum Hypothesis or Baumgartner's axiom.
