We study spherically symmetric timelike thin-shells in $3+1-$dimensional bulk spacetime with a variable equation of state for the fluid presented on the shell. In such a fluid the angular pressure $p$ is a function of both surface energy…

We establish the Bonnet-Myers theorem and the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem in the spectral sense for manifolds with weakly convex boundary. For $n\geq 3$, let $(M^n,g)$ be a simply connected compact smooth $n$-manifold with…

We prove that for $s<0$, $s$-concave measures on ${\mathbb R}^n$ satisfy a thin shell concentration similar to the log-concave one. It leads to a Berry-Esseen type estimate for their one dimensional marginal distributions. We also establish…

Gaussian processes can be considered as subsets of a standard Hilbert space, but the geometric understanding that would relate the size of a set with the size of its convex hull is still lacking. In this work, we adopt a geometric approach…

We study the $L^2$ spectral gap of a large system of strongly coupled diffusions on unbounded state space and subject to a double-well potential. This system can be seen as a spatially discrete approximation of the stochastic Allen-Cahn…

This work is concerned with a P\'olya-Szeg\"o type inequality for anisotropic functionals of Sobolev functions. The relevant inequality entails a double-symmetrization involving both trial functions and functionals. A new approach that…
