Let $S(G^\sigma)$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of an oriented graph $G^\sigma$. The skew energy of $G^\sigma$ is defined as the sum of all singular values of its skew-adjacency matrix $S(G^\sigma)$. In this paper, we first deduce an…

The discrete isoperimetric inequality in Euclidean geometry states that among all $n$-gons having a fixed perimeter $p$, the one with the largest area is the regular $n$-gon. The statement is true in spherical geometry and hyperbolic…

We prove that if $(X,\mathsf{d},\mathfrak{m})$ is a metric measure space with $\mathfrak{m}(X)=1$ having (in a synthetic sense) Ricci curvature bounded from below by $K>0$ and dimension bounded above by $N\in [1,\infty)$, then the classic…

We establish a geometric inequality relating the Dirichlet energy $E_1(f)$ and the bienergy $E_2(f)$ of smooth maps \[ f : (M,g) \to (\overline{M},\overline{g}) \] between Riemannian manifolds. Assume that $(M,g)$ is a compact, connected…
