The Tomas-Stein inequality for a compact subset $\Gamma$ of the sphere $S^d$ states that the mapping $f\mapsto \widehat{f\sigma}$ is bounded from $L^2(\Gamma,\sigma)$ to $L^{2+4/d}(\R^{d+1})$. Then conditional on a strict comparison between…

We study the uncertainty principle $$\lVert\widehat{\mu}(\xi) |\xi|^\beta\rVert_\infty^{\alpha} \left(\int |x|^\alpha d \mu\right)^{\beta} \geq C(\alpha,\beta,d){\lVert{\mu}\rVert_{TV}^{\alpha+\beta}}$$ for finite non-negative measures on…

Let $X$ be a centered random vector taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $\Sigma= \mathbb{E}(X\otimes X)$ be its covariance matrix. We show that if $X$ satisfies an $L_4-L_2$ norm equivalence, there is a covariance estimator…

In this paper, we extend the uniform regularity estimates obtained by M. Avellanda and F. Lin in the paper of Compactness methods in the theory of homogenization (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 40(1987), no.6, 803-847) to the more general second…

The logarithmic Sobolev inequality is fundamental in mathematical physics. Associated stability estimates are equivalent to uncertainty principles. Via a second moment bound, $W^{1,1}$ estimates are obtained in one dimension and similar…

The zero bias distribution $W^*$ of $W$, defined though the characterizing equation $\mathit{EW}f(W)=\sigma^2Ef'(W^*)$ for all smooth functions $f$, exists for all $W$ with mean zero and finite variance $\sigma^2$. For $W$ and $W^*$ defined…

We completely characterize the spectrum of a weighted composition operator $W_{\psi, \varphi}$ on $H^{2}(\mathbb{D})$ when $\varphi$ has Denjoy-Wolff point $a$ with $0<|\varphi '(a)|< 1$, the iterates, $\varphi_{n}$, converge uniformly to…

For a given Finsler-Minkowski norm $\mathcal{F}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ $\big(N\geq 2\big)$, we establish the following weighted anisotropic Sobolev inequality $$ S\left(\int_{\Omega}|u|^q…

In this work, we focus on a recent variant of the Trudinger-Moser-Onofri inequality introduced by S. Y. Alice Chang and Changfeng Gui \cite{CG-2023}: \begin{align*} \alpha\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}|\nabla_{\mathbb{S}^2}u|^2 {\rm d}\omega+2…
