In this paper, we give for the first time a systematic study of the variance of the distance to the boundary for arbitrary bounded convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$. In dimension two, we show that this function is strictly…

This paper is devoted to Hardy type inequalities with remainders for compactly supported smooth functions on open sets in the Euclidean space. We establish new inequalities with weight functions depending on the distance function to the…

In this note, we construct examples of bounded smooth convex domains with no non-trivial analytic discs on the boundary which possess a holomorphic self-map without fixed points so that the iterates do not converge to a point (that is, the…

The Lempert function for several poles $a_0, ..., a_N$ in a domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb C^n$ is defined at the point $z \in \Omega$ as the infimum of $\sum^N_{j=0} \log|\zeta_j|$ over all the choices of points $\zeta_j$ in the unit disk so…

In this paper we comment on the "Local Fermi Liquid Theory", proposed by Engelbrecht and Bedell [1]. We emphasize several important properties of the limit of infinite dimensions, in particular the k-dependence of the irreducible vertex…

In this paper continuing our work started in our earlier papers we prove the corona theorem for the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on an unbranched covering of a Caratheodory hyperbolic Riemann surface of finite type.

We study a special class of non-convex functions which appear in nonlinear elasticity; and we prove that they have well-defined Legandre transforms. Several examples are given, and an application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem

We provide a new version of delta theorem, that takes into account of high dimensional parameter estimation. We show that depending on the structure of the function, the limits of functions of estimators have faster or slower rate of…

We prove that convex functions of finite order on the real line and subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some set of zero relative Lebesgue density, are bounded from above…

Let $\Tei_{g,n}$ be the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. It is conjectured that the Teichm\"uller and Carath\'{e}odory metrics agree on a Teichm\"{u}ller disk if and only if all the zeros of the…

We show in this paper that every domain in a separable Hilbert space, say $\cH$, which has a $C^2$ smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary point at which an automorphism orbit accumulates is biholomorphic to the unit ball of $\cH$. This is…

The classical Serrin's overdetermined theorem states that a $C^2$ bounded domain, which admits a function with constant Laplacian that satisfies both constant Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, must necessarily be a ball. While…

We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…

Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any two trajectories decreases exponentially fast. For partially…

We give a negative answer to the rigidity conjecture of He and Schramm by constructing a rigid circle domain $\Omega$ on the Riemann sphere with conformally non-removable boundary. Here rigidity means that every conformal map from $\Omega$…

In this note we apply the billiard technique to deduce some results on Viterbo's conjectured inequality between volume of a convex body and its symplectic capacity. We show that the product of a permutohedron and a simplex (properly related…

Using the Maskit coordinates for Teichmuller space, we prove the existence of new families of one dimensional subspaces on which the Caratheodory and Kobayashi metrics agree.

We prove that the non-squeezing theorem of Gromov holds for symplectomorphisms on an infinite-dimensional symplectic Hilbert space, under the assumption that the image of the ball is convex. The proof is based on the construction by duality…

It is shown that two strictly pseudoconvex Stein domains with real analytic boundaries have biholomorphic universal coverings provided that their boundaries are locally biholomorphically equivalent. This statement can be regarded as a…

We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…
