The aim of the present paper is to bridge the gap between the Bakry-\'{E}mery and the Lott-Sturm-Villani approaches to provide synthetic and abstract notions of lower Ricci curvature bounds. We start from a strongly local Dirichlet form…

In this article, we establish a geometric lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue $\lambda^{(1)}_{1}$ of the rough Laplacian acting on $1$-forms for closed $2n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with nonvanishing Euler characteristic.…

In this paper we consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold M with Ricci curvature bounded from below and positive injectivity radius. Denote by L the Laplace-Beltrami operator on M. We assume that the kernel associated to…

We prove a $\mathsf{C}^1$-elliptic estimate of the form $ \sup_{B(x,r/2)} |\mathrm{grad} (\psi) | \leq C \left\{ \sup_{B(x,r)} |\Delta \psi| + \sup_{B(x,r)} |\psi| \right\}, $ valid on any complete Riemannian manifold $M$ and for any smooth…

Let $\mathbb P$ be any Borel probability measure on the $L^2$-Wasserstein space $(\mathscr{P}_2(M),W_2)$ over a closed Riemannian manifold $M$. We consider the Dirichlet form $\mathcal E$ induced by $\mathbb P$ and by the Wasserstein…

We present a new proof of the dimensionless $L^p$ boundedness of the Riesz vector on manifolds with bounded geometry. Our proof has the significant advantage that it allows for a much stronger conclusion, namely that of a new dimensionless…

Manifold-valued parameters routinely arise in modern statistical applications such as in medical imaging, robotics, and computer vision, to name a few. While traditional Bayesian approaches are applicable to such settings by considering an…

We obtain a priori local pointwise second derivative estimates for solutions $u$ to a class of augmented Hessian equations on Riemannian manifolds, in terms of the $C^1$ norm and certain $W^{2,p}$ norms of $u$. We consider the case that no…

We prove a comparison theorem on the first Neumann eigenvalue on Bakry-Emery manifolds. Examples are constructed to illustrate the sharpness of the result. A linear explicit lower bound is also proved. We also discuss the asymptotic…

We characterize when bivariate real analytic functions are "dimension expanding" when applied to a Cartesian product. If $P$ is a bivariate real analytic function that is not locally of the form $P(x,y) = h(a(x) + b(y))$, then whenever $A$…

We study $p$-harmonic maps, $p$-harmonic morphisms, biharmonic maps, and quasiregular mappings into submanifolds of warped product Riemannian manifolds ${I}\times_f S^{m-1}(k)\, $ of an open interval and a complete simply-connecteded…

A short intrinsic proof is given for the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu theorem with an extension for higher-order gradient forms. This argument illustrates the role of functional geometry and Fourier analysis for obtaining embedding estimates.…

In this paper, we continue to develop the theory of free holomorphic functions on noncommutative regular polydomains. We find analogues of several classical results from complex analysis such as Abel theorem, Hadamard formula, Cauchy…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition that $L^p$-norms, $2<p<6$, of eigenfunctions of the square root of minus the Laplacian on 2-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifolds $M$ are small compared to a natural power of…

We continue the study of the construction of analytical coefficients of the epsilon-expansion of hypergeometric functions and their connection with Feynman diagrams. In this paper, we show the following results: Theorem A: The multiple…

Let $A$ be a von Neumann algebra with no direct summand of Type $\roman I_2$, and let $\scr P(A)$ be its lattice of projections. Let $X$ be a Banach space. Let $m\:\scr P(A)\to X$ be a bounded function such that $m(p+q)=m(p)+m(q)$ whenever…

We give a constructive proof of a theorem of Naor and Neiman, (to appear, Revista Matematica Iberoamercana), which asserts that if $(E,d)$ is a doubling metric space, there is an integer $N > 0$, that depends only on the metric doubling…

The purpose of this work is to study some monotone functionals of the heat kernel on a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. In particular, we show that on these manifolds, the gradient estimate of Li and Yau, the…

In this paper, we investigate the $L^p$ bilinear quasimode estimates on compact Riemannian manifolds. We obtain results in the full range $p\ge2$ on all $n$-dimensional manifolds with $n\ge2$. This in particular implies the $L^p$ bilinear…

In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
