We study the following problem: given n real arguments a1, ..., an and n real weights w1, ..., wn, under what conditions does the inequality w1 f(a1) + w2 f(a2) + ... + wn f(an) >= 0 hold for all functions f with nonnegative kth derivative…

A complex algebraic surface $S$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-homology plane if $H_{i}(S,\mathbb{Q})=0$ for $i>0$. The Negativity Conjecture of Palka asserts that $\kappa(K_{X}+\tfrac{1}{2}D)=-\infty$, where $(X,D)$ is a log smooth completion of $S$.…

We consider an inverse spectral problem for a class of non-compact Hankel operators $H$ such that the modulus of $H$ (restricted onto the orthogonal complement to its kernel) has simple spectrum. Similarly to the case of compact operators,…

We show that tensoring the Laplace and Dolbeault-Dirac operators of a K\"ahler structure (with closed integral) by a negative Hermitian holomorphic module, produces operators with spectral gaps around zero. The proof is based on the…

Let $S$ be a smooth del Pezzo surface over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2, 3$. We define an invariant in the Grothendieck-Witt ring $GW(k)$ for "counting" rational curves in a curve class $D$ of fixed positive degree (with respect to…

In this article we study the spectrum $\sigma(T)$ and Waelbroeck spectrum $\sigma_W(T)$ of a weighted composition operator $T$ induced by a rotation on $\Hol(\D)$ and given by $$Tf(z)=m(z)f(\beta z) \ \ \ (z\in \D)$$ where $m\in \Hol(\D)$,…

We show that, on any asymptotically hyperbolic surface, the essential spectrum of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian $\Delta_L$ contains the ray $[{1/4},+\infty[$. If moreover the scalar curvature is constant then -2 and 0 are infinite dimensional…

We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on Riemannian manifolds and prove several classification results. The first one asserts that a closed Riemannian manifold with three-positive curvature operator of the second kind is…

Let $\mathcal{L}=-\Delta+\mathit{V}(x)$ be a Schr\"{o}dinger operator, where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian operator on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ $(d\geq 3)$, while the nonnegative potential $\mathit{V}(x)$ belongs to the reverse H\"{o}lder class $B_{q},…

Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be the classical Wiener space. Assume that $U=I_W+u$ is an adapted perturbation of identity, i.e., $u:W\to H$ is adapted to the canonical filtration of $W$. We give some sufficient analytic conditions on $u$ which imply the…

In this paper we are interested in possible extensions of an inequality due to Minkowski: $\int_{\partial\Omega} H\,dA \geq \sqrt{4\pi A(\partial\Omega)}$ valid for any regular open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$, where $H$ denotes the…

We study inverse problems for the nonlinear wave equation $\square_g u + w(x,u, \nabla_g u) = 0$ in a Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$ with boundary, where $\nabla_g u$ denotes the gradient and $w(x,u, \xi)$ is smooth and quadratic in $\xi$.…

Using H\"{o}rmander $L^2$ method for Cauchy-Riemann equations from complex analysis, we study a simple differential operator $\bar{\partial}^k+a$ of any order (densely defined and closed) in weighted Hilbert space…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $\{\omega_p\}_{p=1}^{\infty}$ be the volume spectrum of $(M,g)$. We will show that $\omega_{k+m+1}\leq \omega_k+\omega_m+W$ for all $k,m\geq 0$, where $\omega_0=0$ and $W$ is the one-parameter…

We show how a strong capacitary inequality can be used to give a decomposition of any function in the Sobolev space $W^{k,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ as the difference of two non-negative functions in the same space with control of their norms.

We show that an inverse scattering problem for a semilinear wave equation can be solved on a manifold having an asymptotically Minkowskian infinity, that is, scattering functionals determine the topology, differentiable structure, and the…

We show that if $T=H+iK$ is the Cartesian decomposition of $T\in \mathbb{B(\mathscr{H})}$, then for $\alpha ,\beta \in \mathbb{R}$, $\sup_{\alpha ^{2}+\beta ^{2}=1}\Vert \alpha H+\beta K\Vert =w(T)$. We then apply it to prove that if…

We introduce a natural extension of the metric tensor and the Hodge star operator to the algebra of double forms to study some aspects of the structure of this algebra. These properties are then used to study new Riemannian curvature…
