Can I relate the L1 norm of a function to its Fourier expansion?
I would like to express the integral of the absolute value of a real-valued function $f$ (over a finite interval) in terms of the Fourier coefficients of $f$. Failing that, I would like to know of any ...

Is there a Gaussian process for the solutions of the wave equation?
Call a Gaussian process $g$ a prior for a topological space $X$ if the realizations of $g$ are (a.s.) contained in $X$ and dense.
Consider the 1D wave equation
$\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}u(t,x)=...

For which values of $N$ is known the Lieb-Simon Inequality for $Z_N$ Models ?
Background:
Let $\mathbb Z^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional integer lattice with norm $|x|=\sum_i|x_i|$.
For each $x\in\mathbb Z^d$ we associate a spin variable, $\sigma_x$ taking values on the set
$\{...
