We present in this paper a \boundary version" for theorems about minimality of volume and energy functionals on a spherical domain of threedimensional Euclidean sphere.
Motivated by the Lyapunov convexity theorem in infinite dimensions, we extend the convexity of the integral of a decomposable set to separable Banach spaces under the strengthened notion of nonatomicity of measure spaces, called…
We study the equilibrium measure for a logarithmic potential in the presence of an external field V*(x) + tp(x), where t is a parameter, V*(x) is a smooth function and p(x) a monic polynomial. When p(x) is of an odd degree, the equilibrium…
It is shown that Voiculescu's toplogical entropy for the canonical endomorphism of a simple Cuntz-Krieger algebra O_A equals the logarithm of the spectral radius of A.
We give a refined Young inequality which generalizes the inequality by Zou--Jiang. We also show the upper bound for the logarithmic mean by the use of the weighted geometric mean and the weighted arithmetic mean. Furthermore, we show some…
The following inequalities are established, improving a former inequality due to Kojima. For any closed arithmetic hyperbolic $3$--manifold fibering over a circle, the entropy of the pseudo-Anosov monodromy is bounded by the hyperbolic…
We show an alternative proof of the sharpest known lower bound for the logarithmic energy on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. We then generalize this proof to get new lower bounds for the Green energy on the unit $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$.
The paper examines and critiques the expression of entropy as the logarithm of the number of quantum states of a physical system. Boltzmann method of expressing entropy as the logarithm of the number of states of a gas with a given total…
The stationary states of the half-line Coulomb potential are described by quantum-mechanical wavefunctions which are controlled by the Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(1)}(x$). Here we first calculate the $q$th-order frequency or entropic…

For an interval $E=[a,b]$ on the real line, let $\mu$ be either the equilibrium measure, or the normalized Lebesgue measure of $E$, and let $V^{\mu}$ denote the associated logarithmic potential. In the present paper, we construct a function…
If the variance of a short range Gaussian random potential grows like the volume its quenched thermodynamic limit is reached monotonically.
The notion of topological free entropy dimension of $n-$tuples of elements in a unital C$^*$ algebra was introduced by Voiculescu. In the paper, we compute topological free entropy dimension of one self-adjoint element and topological orbit…
Aided by the tools and outlook provided by modern classification theory, we take a new look at the Brown-Voiculescu entropy of endomorphisms of nuclear C*-algebras. In particular, we introduce `coloured' versions of noncommutative…
We verify an old conjecture of G. Polya and G. Szego saying that the regular n-gon minimizes the logarithmic capacity among all n-gons with a fixed area.
Let us consider subcritical Bernoulli percolation on a connected, transitive, infinite and locally finite graph. In this paper, we propose a new (and short) proof of the exponential decay property for the volume of clusters. We do not rely…
We define a notion of logarithmic, Coulomb and Riesz interactions in any dimension for random systems of infinite charged point configurations with a uniform background of opposite sign. We connect this interaction energy with the…
Energy bounds which are uniform in the background metric are obtained from upper bounds for entropy-like quantities. The argument is based on auxiliary Monge-Amp\`ere equations involving sublevel sets, and bypasses the…
We find a new formula for the limit of the capacity of certain sequences of multidimensional semiconstrained systems as the dimension tends to infinity. We do so by generalizing the notion of independence entropy, originally studied in the…
Lekner and Sperb's work on the evaluation of Coulomb energy and forces under periodic boundary conditions is generalized that makes it possible to use a triclinic unit cell in simulations in 3D rather than just an orthorhombic cell. The…
