We study a Bernoulli type free boundary problem with two phases $$J[u]=\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u(x)|^2\,dx+\Phi\big({\mathcal M}_-(u), {\mathcal{M}}_+(u)\big), \quad u-\bar u\in W^{1,2}_0(\Omega), $$ where $\bar u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega)$ is a…

We prove stability estimates for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for convex sets. Unlike existing stability results, our estimates improve as the dimension grows. Our results are equivalent to a thin shell bound, which is one of the central…

On a large class of Riemannian manifolds with boundary, some dimension-free Harnack inequalities for the Neumann semigroup is proved to be equivalent to the convexity of the boundary and a curvature condition. In particular, for $p_t(x,y)$…

If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of a free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the…
