The aim of this work is to study the rigidity problem for Steiner's inequality for the anisotropic perimeter, that is, the situation in which the only extremals of the inequality are vertical translations of the Steiner symmetral that we…
In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the rigidity of perimeter inequality under Schwarz symmetrisation. The term rigidity refers to the situation in which the equality cases are only obtained by translations of the…
We study the perimeter inequality under circular symmetrisation, and we provide a full geometric characterisation of equality cases. A careful inspection of the proof shows that a similar characterisation holds true also for the perimeter…
We take advantage of a rigidity result for the equation satisfied by an extremal function associated with a special case of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities to get a symmetry result for a larger set of inequali-ties. The main…
For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, the logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta}$, and the analytic capacity $c_{B}$ satisfy the inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta} \geq c^2_B$; moreover, equality holds at a…
This paper deals with the famous isoperimetric inequality. In a first part, we give some new functional form of the isoperimetric inequality, and in a second part, we give a quantitative form with a remainder term involving Wasserstein…
We call a metric quasi-Einstein if the $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. This is a generalization of Einstein metrics, which contains gradient Ricci solitons and is also closely related to the…
We give a new proof of the isoperimetric inequality in the plane, based on Steiner's formula for the area of a convex neighborhood. This proof establishes the isoperimetric inequality directly, without requiring that we separately establish…
Let $n\geq 1$, and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open and connected set with finite Lebesgue measure. Among functions of bounded variation in $\Omega$ we introduce the class of \emph{minimally singular} functions. Inspired by the…
A new homological dimension is introduced to measure the quality of resolutions of `singular' finite dimensional algebras (of infinite global dimension) by `regular' ones (of finite global dimension). Upper bounds are established in terms…
We study the Hardy type inequalities in the framework of equalities. We present equalities which immediately imply Hardy type inequalities by dropping the remainder term. Simultaneously we give a characterization of the class of functions…
We consider the inverse problem of determining coefficients appearing in semilinear elliptic equations stated on Riemannian manifolds with boundary given the knowledge of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We begin with a negative…
Steiner symmetrization along n linearly independent directions transforms every compact subset of R^n into a set of finite perimeter.
We introduce a notion of connected perimeter for planar sets defined as the lower semi-continuous envelope of perimeters of approximating sets which are measure-theoretically connected. A companion notion of simply connected perimeter is…
In this work, we study compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary satisfying V-static-type equations. By combining a generalized Reilly formula with Steklov-type boundary value problems, we derive integral inequalities for geometric…
We provide a geometric characterization of rigidity of equality cases in Ehrhard's symmetrization inequality for Gaussian perimeter. This condition is formulated in terms of a new measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for Borel sets,…
We adapt Stein's method to isoperimetric and geometric inequalities. The main challenge is the treatment of boundary terms. We address this by using an elliptic PDE with an oblique boundary condition. We apply our geometric formulation of…
A stability version of the reverse isoperimetric inequality, and the corresponding inequality for isotropic measures are established.
This article discusses two recent works by the author, one with Brown and Hurtado on Zimmer's conjecture and one with Bader, Miller and Stover on totally geodesic submanifolds of real and complex hyperbolic manifolds. The main purpose of…
As part of a programme to classify quasi-Einstein metrics $(M,g,X)$ on closed manifolds and near-horizon geometries of extreme black holes, we study such spaces when the vector field $X$ is divergence-free but not identically zero. This…
