In this note we link symplectic and convex geometry by relating two seemingly different open conjectures: a symplectic isoperimetric-type inequality for convex domains, and Mahler's conjecture on the volume product of centrally symmetric…

We prove that the highest density of non-overlapping translates of a given centrally symmetric convex domain relative to its outer parallel domain of given outer radius is attained by a lattice packing in the Euclidean plane. This…

New isoperimetric inequalities for lower order eigenvalues of the Laplacian on closed hypersurfaces, of the biharmonic Steklov problems and of the Wentzell-Laplace on bounded domains in a Euclidean space are proven. Some open questions for…

We obtain an improved pseudolocality result for Ricci flows on two-dimensional surfaces that are initially almost-hyperbolic on large hyperbolic balls. We prove that, at the central point of the hyperbolic ball, the Gauss curvature remains…

We focus on the problems of existence and non-existence of positive solutions for the Sobolev-subcritical Lane-Emden equation on certain Riemannian manifolds (mainly models) with asymptotically negative curvature, which, from the viewpoint…

In this paper, we address an extension of the theory of self-concordant functions for a manifold. We formulate the self-concordance of a geodesically convex function by a condition of the covariant derivative of its Hessian, and verify that…

The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for a spherical cap among simply connected Jordan domains on the 2-sphere, for substantial intervals of positive and negative Robin parameters and areas. Geodesic disks in…

We prove \emph{optimal} improvements of the Hardy inequality on the hyperbolic space. Here, optimal means that the resulting operator is critical in the sense of [J.Funct.Anal. 266 (2014), pp. 4422-89], namely the associated inequality…

We prove sharp bounds on eigenvalues of the Laplacian that complement the Faber--Krahn and Luttinger inequalities. In particular, we prove that the ball maximizes the first eigenvalue and minimizes the spectral zeta function and heat trace.…

In this paper, sharp bounds for the first nonzero eigenvalues of different type have been obtained. Moreover, when those bounds are achieved, related rigidities can be characterized. More precisely, first, by applying the Bishop-type volume…
