We obtain an explicit formula for comparing total curvature of level sets of functions on Riemannian manifolds, and develop some applications of this result to the isoperimetric problem in spaces of nonpositive curvature.

Let $c, k_1,..., k_N $ be non-negative numbers, and define a measure $\mu $ in the wedge $W:= \{x\in \mathbb{R} ^N :\, x_i >0, i=1,...,N\} $ by $d\mu = e^{c|x|^2} x_1 ^{k_1}...x_N ^{k_N} \, dx $. It is shown that among all measurable…

We study a simple random walk on an n-dimensional hypercube. For any starting position we find the probability of hitting vertex a before hitting vertex b, whenever a and b share the same edge. This generalizes the model in Doyle, P., and…

We consider the persistent exclusion process in which a set of persistent random walkers interact via hard-core exclusion on a hypercubic lattice in $d$ dimensions. We work within the ballistic regime whereby particles continue to hop in…

We prove the existence of uncountably many positive harmonic functions for random walks on the euclidean lattice with non-zero drift, killed when leaving two dimensional convex cones with vertex in 0. Our proof is an adaption of the proof…

We find the optimal constant $C$ such that \begin{equation*} \|f_1*f_2*\dots*f_{k}\|_{\infty}\geq C\prod_{i=1}^{k}\|f_i\|_1 \end{equation*} for functions $f_i:\{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. As applications, we derive bounds for Sidon sets on…

It is well-known that entire functions whose spectrum belongs to a fixed bounded set $S$ admit real uniformly discrete uniqueness sets $\Lambda$. We show that the same is true for much wider spaces of continuous functions. In particular,…
