We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak-$L^p$ boundedness, for $p \in (1,\infty)$, of a maximal operator on the infinite-dimensional torus. In the endpoint case $p=1$ we obtain the same weak-type inequality enjoyed by the…

We prove that the Lyapunov exponents, cosidered as functions of measures with non compact support, are semicontinuous with respect to the Wasserstein topology but not with respect to the weak* topology. Moreover, we prove that they are not…

Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…

The operators $\Lambda_m$ ($m\in\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$) arise when one studies the action of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform on certain radial function subspaces. It is known that the weak-type $(1,1)$ constant of $\Lambda_0$ is equal to…

Minimization is a reoccurring theme in many mathematical disciplines ranging from pure to applied ones. Of particular importance is the minimization of integral functionals that is studied within the calculus of variations. Proofs of the…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and $f_k \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms weakly converging to $f \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$. It is known that if $s=1$ and $p > n-1$ then $f$ is…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

For a symplectic manifold $M$ let $\{\cdot,\cdot\}$ be the corresponding Poisson bracket. In this note we prove that the functional $(F,G) \mapsto \|\{F,G\}\|_{L^p(M)}$ is lower-semicontinuous with respect to the $C^0$-norm on…

In this note we prove an explicit formula for the lower semicontinuous envelope of some functionals defined on real polyhedral chains. More precisely, denoting by $H \colon \mathbb{R} \to \left[ 0,\infty \right)$ an even, subadditive, and…

We prove a subconvexity bound in the conductor aspect for $L(s,f,\chi)$ where $f$ is a half integer weight modular form. This $L$-function has analytic continuation and functional equation, but no Euler product. Due to the lack of an Euler…
