The hypercontractive inequality on the discrete cube plays a crucial role in many fundamental results in the Analysis of Boolean functions, such as the KKL theorem, Friedgut's junta theorem and the invariance principle. In these results the…
We survey connections of the Grothendieck inequality and its variants to combinatorial optimization and computational complexity.
We prove a sharp Bernstein-type inequality for complex polynomials which are positive and satisfy a polynomial growth condition on the positive real axis. This leads to an improved upper estimate in the recent work of Culiuc and Treil on…
Bounds are proved for the connective constant \mu\ of an infinite, connected, \Delta-regular graph G. The main result is that \mu\ \ge \sqrt{\Delta-1} if G is vertex-transitive and simple. This inequality is proved subject to weaker…
We collect some results in combinatorial geometry that follow from an inequality of Langer in algebraic geometry. Langer's inequality gives a lower bound on the number of incidences between a point set and its spanned lines, and was…
We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…
We establish a Harnack inequality for finite connected graphs with non-negative Ricci curvature. As a consequence, we derive an eigenvalue lower bound, extending previous results for Ricci flat graphs.
A new approach to the Selberg trace formula, and more precisely to its spectral side, is developed. The approach relies on a notion of "Plancherel decomposition" of "asymptotically finite functions", and may generalize to obtain a general…
The work presents the brief exposition of the proof (in ZF) of inaccessible cardinals nonexistence. To this end in view there is used the apparatus of subinaccessible cardinals and its basic tools -- reduced formula spectra and matrices and…
In this article, we obtain two interesting general inequalities concerning Riemman sums of convex functions, which in particular, sharpen Alzer's inequality and give a suitable converse for it.
In this paper a survey is given of application of a method based on Grunsky coefficients for obtaining different estimates (some sharp) for the general class of univalent functions where no analytical characterisation exists. More…
We announce the extension of optimal regularity and Uhlenbeck compactness to the general setting of connections on vector bundles with non-compact gauge groups over non-Riemannian manifolds, including the Lorentzian metric connections of…
In this paper, we study the complexity of answering conjunctive queries (CQ) with inequalities). In particular, we are interested in comparing the complexity of the query with and without inequalities. The main contribution of our work is a…
We give a general procedure for gluing together possibly noncompact manifolds of constant scalar curvature which satisfy an extra nondegeneracy hypothesis. Our aim is to provide a simple paradigm for making `analytic' connected sums. In…
We extend Freiman's inequality on the cardinality of the sumset of a $d$ dimensional set. We consider different sets related by an inclusion of their convex hull, and one of them added possibly several times.
As part of the search for the value of the smallest upper bound of the best constant for the famous Grothendieck inequality, the so-called Grothendieck constant (a hard open problem - unsolved since 1953), we provide a further approach,…
We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…
The paper is devoted to establishing some general exponential inequalities for supermartingales. The inequalities improve or generalize many exponential inequalities of Bennett, Freedman, de la Pe\~{n}a, Pinelis and van de Geer. Moreover,…
In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…
Although the Hardy inequality corresponding to one quadratic singularity, with optimal constant, does not admit any extremal function, it is well known that such a potential can be improved, in the sense that a positive term can be added to…
