We investigate the threshold widths of some symmetric properties which range asymptotically between 1/\sqrt{n} and 1/(log n). These properties are built using a combination of failure sets arising from reliability theory. This combination…

Gr\"unbaum's inequality gives sharp bounds between the volume of a convex body and its part cut off by a hyperplane through the centroid of the body. We provide a generalization of this inequality for hyperplanes that do not necessarily…

We prove limit equalities between the sharp constants in weighted Nikolskii-type inequalities for multivariate polynomials on an $m$-dimensional cube and ball and the corresponding constants for entire functions of exponential type.

We prove variational forms of the Barban-Davenport-Halberstam Theorem and the large sieve inequality. We apply our result to prove an estimate for the sum of the squares of prime differences, averaged over arithmetic progressions.

We compare the usual operator modulus with two symmetrized variants, the arithmetic symmetric modulus and the quadratic symmetric modulus. For every unitarily invariant norm, we determine sharp equivalence constants among these three…

The paper is concerned with sharp estimates of constants in Poincare type inequalities for functions having zero mean value on the boundary of a Lipschitz domain or on a measurable part of it. These estimates are useful for various…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

The open problem of determining the exact value of the $n$-th linear polarization constant $c_n$ of $\R^n$ has received considerable attention over the past few years. This paper makes a contribution to the subject by providing a new lower…

We derive upper and lower bounds on the sum of distances of a spherical code of size $N$ in $n$ dimensions when $N\sim n^\alpha, 0<\alpha\le 2.$ The bounds are derived by specializing recent general, universal bounds on energy of spherical…

We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…

Given two high-dimensional Gaussians with the same mean, we prove a lower and an upper bound for their total variation distance, which are within a constant factor of one another.

The main aim of this article is to establish a sharp improvement of the classical Bohr inequality for bounded holomorphic mappings in the polydisk $\mathbb{P}\Delta(0;1_n)$. We also prove two other sharp versions of the Bohr inequality in…

A sharp quantitative polygonal isoperimetric inequality is obtained.

If $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I$ is a graded artinian algebra, then the length of $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I^s$ becomes a polynomial in $s$ of degree $n$ for large $s$. If we write this polynomial as $\sum_{i=0}^n(-1)^ie_i{s+n-i-1\choose n-i}$, then…

We revisit the sharp Sobolev inequalities involving boundary terms on Riemannian manifolds with boundaries proved by \emph{[Y.Y. Li and M. Zhu, Geom. Funct. Anal. \textbf{8} (1998), 59--87.]} and explore the role of the mean curvature.

We prove sharp $L^2$ Fourier restriction inequalities for compact, smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ equipped with the affine surface measure or a power thereof. The results are valid for all smooth surfaces and the bounds are uniform for…

We explore the concentration properties of the ratio between the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean, showing that for certain sequences of weights one does obtain concentration, around a value that depends on the sequence.

We take an $L_1$-dense class of functions $\Cal F$ on a measurable space $(X,\Cal X)$ together with a sequence of independent, identically distributed $X$-space valued random variables $\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n$ and give a good estimate on the…

Corresponding to $n$ independent non-negative random variables $X_1,...,X_n$, are values $M_1,...,M_n$, where each $M_i$ is the expected value of the maximum of $n$ independent copies of $X_i$. We obtain an upper bound to the expected value…
