An effective lower bound on the entropy of some explicit quadratic plane Cremona transformations is given. The motivation is that such transformations (Hénon maps, or Feistel ciphers) are used in symmetric key cryptography. Moreover, a hyperbolic plane Cremona transformation g is rigid, in the sense of [5], and under further explicit conditions some power of g is tight.

We introduce a general definition for coloured cyclic operads over a symmetric monoidal ground category, which has several appealing features. The forgetful functor from coloured cyclic operads to coloured operads has both adjoints, each of which is relatively simple. Explicit formulae for these adjoints allow us to lift the Cisinski–Moerdijk model structure on the category of coloured operads enriched in simplicial sets to the category of coloured cyclic operads enriched in simplicial sets.

In this paper, we prove the equivalence between logarithmic Sobolev inequality and hypercontractivity of a class of quantum Markov semigroup and its associated Dirichlet form based on a probability gage space.

We establish Bohr inequalities for operator-valued functions, which can be viewed as analogues of a couple of interesting results from scalar-valued settings. Some results of this paper are motivated by the classical flavour of Bohr inequality, while others are based on a generalized concept of the Bohr radius problem.

The aim of this paper is to present some results about the space $L^{\varPhi }(\nu ),$ where $\nu$ is a vector measure on a compact (not necessarily abelian) group and $\varPhi$ is a Young function. We show that under natural conditions, the space $L^{\varPhi }(\nu )$ becomes an $L^{1}(G)$-module with respect to the usual convolution of functions. We also define one more convolution structure on $L^{\varPhi }(\nu ).$

We describe a compactification by KSBA stable pairs of the five-dimensional moduli space of K3 surfaces with a purely non-symplectic automorphism of order four and $U(2)\oplus D_4^{\oplus 2}$ lattice polarization. These K3 surfaces can be realized as the minimal resolution of the double cover of $\mathbb {P}^{1}\times \mathbb {P}^{1}$ branched along a specific $(4,\,4)$ curve. We show that, up to a finite group action, this stable pairs compactification is isomorphic to Kirwan's partial desingularization of the GIT quotient $(\mathbb {P}^{1})^{8}{/\!/}\mathrm {SL}_2$ with the symmetric linearization.
