We prove tight H\"olderian error bounds for all $p$-cones. Surprisingly, the exponents differ in several ways from those that have been previously conjectured; moreover, they illuminate $p$-cones as a curious example of a class of objects…

We prove sharp inequalities of Hardy type for functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We achieve this in both the subcritical and critical cases. The method we use to show…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $\mathop{char}(k) = p \geq 2$ and $E_r$ be a $p$-elementary abelian group of rank $r \geq 2$. Let $(c,d) \in \mathbb{N}^2$. We show that there exists an indecomposable module of constant Jordan type…

Four Jacobi settings are considered in the context of Hardy's inequality: the trigonometric polynomials and functions, and the corresponding symmetrized systems. In the polynomial cases sharp Hardy's inequality is proved for the type…

We show that for a fixed integer $n \neq \pm2$, the congruence $x^2 + nx \pm 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{\alpha}$ has the solution $\beta$ with $0 < \beta < \alpha$ if and only if $\alpha/\beta$ has a continued fraction expansion with sequence of…

In this paper, we find the greatest values $\alpha_{1}$, $\alpha_{2}$, $\alpha_{3}$, $\alpha_{4}$, $\alpha_{5}$, $\alpha_{6}$, $\alpha_{7}$, $\alpha_{8}$ and the least values $\beta_{1}$, $\beta_{2}$, $\beta_{3}$, $\beta_{4}$, $\beta_{5}$,…

Geometric rigidity states that a gradient field which is $L^p$-close to the set of proper rotations is necessarily $L^p$-close to a fixed rotation, and is one key estimate in nonlinear elasticity. In several applications, as for example in…

We obtain all extreme and exposed points of the closed unit ball of the space of bilinear forms $T:\ell_{\infty}^{2}\times\ell_{\infty}^{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}.$ We also show that any (norm one) bilinear form $T:\ell_{\infty…

We consider Khintchine type inequalities on the $p$-th moments of vectors of $N$ pairwise independent Rademacher random variables. We establish that an analogue of Khintchine's inequality cannot hold in this setting with a constant that is…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell _{p}$ spaces and $m<p\leq 2m$ asserts that \begin{equation*} \left( \sum_{j_{1},...,j_{m}=1}^{\infty }\left\vert T\left( e_{j_{1}},\ldots ,e_{j_{m}}\right) \right\vert…

We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…

In 1995, D. Jerison and C. Kenig in \cite{JK-1995} considered the the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem $\Delta u= f$ on $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$ in Lipschitz domains. One of their main results shows that the $W^{1,p}$ estimate…

For $1<p<\infty$ we prove an $L^p$-version of the generalized Korn inequality for incompatible tensor fields $P$ in $ W^{1,\,p}_0(\operatorname{Curl}; \Omega,\mathbb{R}^{3\times3})$. More precisely, let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a…

We prove estimates for the sharp constants in fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequalities associated to an open set, in terms of a nonlocal capacitary extension of its inradius. This work builds upon previous results obtained in the local…

To estimate the optimal constant in Hardy-type inequalities, some variational formulas and approximating procedures are introduced. The known basic estimates are improved considerably. The results are illustrated by typical examples. It is…

Using the log-convexity of the Gamma function and Euler's reflection formula, we give a new proof of a classical weighted sine product inequality. Two different parameter choices yield two competing upper bounds for the same product. We…

We construct new examples of algebraic curvature tensors so that the Jordan normal form of the higher order Jacobi operator is constant on the Grassmannian of subspaces of type $(r,s)$ in a vector space of signature $(p,q)$. We then use…

For any convex set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R} ^N$, we provide a lower bound for the inverse of the Poincar\'e constant in $W ^ {1, 1}(\Omega)$: it refines an inequality in terms of the diameter due to Acosta-Duran, via the addition of an…

We prove that the function $g(x)= 1 / \bigl( 1 - \cos(x) \bigr)$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\pi]$ and absolutely monotonic on $[\pi, 2\pi)$, and we determine the best possible bounds $\lambda_n$ and $\mu_n$ such that the inequalities $$…

In 1989 Almgren and Lieb proved a rearrangement inequality for the Sobolev spaces of fractional order $W^{s,p}$. The case $p = 2$ of their result implies the nonlocal isoperimetric inequality \[ \frac{P_s(E)}{|E|^{\frac{N-2s}N}} \ge…
