We derive the complete and optimal Cheng--Yau gradient estimates and universal bounds for subcritical semilinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds with (Bakry-\'{E}mery) Ricci curvature bounded below. This answers a fundamental…

We show that, on a smooth riemannian manifold, the laplacian of the distance function to a point $b$ is $-\infty$ in the sense of barriers, at every point of the cut locus with respect to $b$.

In this paper, we establish new Laplacian comparison theorems and rigidity theorems for complete K\"ahler manifolds under new curvature notions that interpolate between Ricci curvature and holomorphic bisectional curvature.

Let (M, g) be a compact Einstein Riemannian manifold with boundary. We show that under certain conditions, the map that associates to a metric on M its Ricci curvature, its induced conformal class on the boundary, and its mean curvature on…

Extending functions from boundary values plays an important role in various applications. In this thesis we consider discrete and continuous formulations of the problem based on $p$-Laplacians, in particular for $p=\infty$ and tight…

We prove the equivalence between the several notions of generalized Ricci curvature found in the literature. As an application, we characterize when the total generalized Ricci tensor is symmetric.

This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…

The prescribed Ricci curvature problem in the context of G-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space M=G/K is studied. We focus on the metrics at which the Ricci curvature map is, locally, as injective and surjective as it can be. Our main…

In this note, we present two general classes of integral inequalities motivated by their applications to infinite dimensional systems. The inequalities possess general structures in terms of weight functions and lower quadratic bounds. Many…

We obtain optimal generalized versions of Hardy inequalities, which as special cases contain Hardy's inequality and Hardy's inequality involving the distance function to the boundary of $ \Omega$. In addition we obtain neccesary and…

We establish existence results of Hartmann-Stampacchia type for a class of variational-hemivariationalinequalities on closed and convex sets (either bounded or unbounded) in a Hilbert space.

We establish several inequalities for manifolds with positive scalar curvature and, more generally, for the scalar curvature bounded from below, in the spirit of the classical bound on the distances between conjugates points in surfaces…

Metric measure spaces with synthetic Ricci bounds have attracted great interest in recent years, accompanied by spectacular breakthroughs and deep new insights. In this survey, I will provide a brief introduction to the concept of lower…

For sub-Riemannian manifolds with a chosen complement, we first establish the derivative formula and integration by parts formula on path space with respect to a natural gradient operator. By using these formulae, we then show that upper…

We prove that Riemannian metrics with an absolute Ricci curvature bound and a conjugate radius bound can be smoothed to having a sectional curvature bound. Using this we derive a number of results about structures of manifolds with Ricci…

Popoviciu's inequality is extended to the framework of h-convexity and also to convexity with respect to a pair of quasi-arithmetic means. Several applications are included.

We extend the classical Lyapunov inequality on the measurable space with infinite measure and on the so-called Grand Lebesgue spaces (GLS). We find also the exact value for correspondent constant. Possible applications: Functional Analysis…

We investigate Lagrangian duality for nonconvex optimization problems. To this aim we use the $\Phi$-convexity theory and minimax theorem for $\Phi$-convex functions. We provide conditions for zero duality gap and strong duality. Among the…

Assuming a lower bound on the Ricci curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold, for $p< 1/2$ we show the existence of bounds on the local $L^p$ norm of the Ricci curvature that depend only on the dimension and which improve with volume…
