We establish that locally bounded relaxed minimizers of degenerate elliptic symmetric gradient functionals on $\mathrm{BD}(\Omega)$ have weak gradients in $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$. This is achieved for…

We study the predual of the space of functions of bounded variation defined over a metric measure space $({\rm X},{\sf d},\mathfrak m)$ with $\mathfrak m$ finite. More specifically, for any exponent $p\in(1,\infty)$ we construct an…

Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure of unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. It turns out that such operators generate a canonical lattice of Hilbert spaces, that is,…

We continue the study of the fractional variation following the distributional approach developed in the previous works arXiv:1809.08575, arXiv:1910.13419 and arXiv:2011.03928. We provide a general analysis of the distributional space…

We use the theory of abstract Wiener spaces to construct a probabilistic model for Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on a complete Hermitian complex manifold endowed with a positive line bundle. We associate to a function with compact support…

Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

In this paper, we expand upon the theory of the space of functions with nonlocal weighted bounded variation, first introduced by Kindermann et.al. in 2005 and later generalized by Wang et.al. in 2014. We consider nonfractional C^1 weights…

We prove variable coefficient versions of L^p boundedness results on Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along convex curves in the plane.

We show that the minimization problem of any non-convex and non-lower semi-continuous function on a compact convex subset of a locally convex real topological vector space can be studied via an associated convex and lower semi-continuous…

This paper establishes quantitative Carleman-type inequalities for holomorphic sections of Hermitian vector bundles over bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n \geq 2$. We first prove a Sobolev-type inequality with explicit constants for…

We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…

We find sharp bounds for the norm inequality on a Pseudo-hermitian manifold, where the L^2 norm of all second derivatives of the function involving horizontal derivatives is controlled by the L^2 norm of the sub-Laplacian. Perturbation…

In the framework of quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics it is shown that a weakening of the isotropy of the Hilbert-space geometry can help us to enlarge the domain of the parameters at which the evolution is unitary. The idea is tested using…

We prove a heat semigroup characterization of the total variation for compactly supported ${\rm BV}$ on arbitrary smooth complete weighted Riemannian manifolds, extending the main result in \cite{GP15}. We then provide an example of a…

We give a simple proof of the fact that an "$f$-estimate" for the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem implies a lower bound on the geomatric type of the boundary along any complex one dimensional variety. The proof uses the existence of peak…

We study the variational structure of the complex $k$-Hessian equation on bounded domain $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ with boundary $M=\partial X$. We prove that the Dirichlet problem $\sigma_k (\partial \bar{\partial} u) =0$ in $X$, and $u=f$ on…

We prove the coarea formula for Lipschitz maps from the subriemannian $n$th Heisenberg group $\mathbb H_n$ to $\mathbb R^{2n}$. Our result is new even when $n=1$ and provides the simplest vector-valued instance of the coarea formula in…

We consider shape functionals obtained as minima on Sobolev spaces of classical integrals having smooth and convex densities, under mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. We propose a new approach for the computation of the second…

In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain…
