In this article, we give a complex-geometric proof of the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality without using toric compactifications. The idea is to use the Legendre transform and develop the Brascamp-Lieb proof of the Pr\'ekopa theorem. New…
We present an abstract form of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality that includes several known -and a few new- related functional inequalities on Euclidean spaces. The method of proof and also the formulation of the new inequalities are based…
We establish a new global endpoint Sobolev inequality for measures that extends the classical theorem of Meyers-Ziemer by placing a maximal function on the right-hand side. This result has several significant consequences. It extends…
We give explicit transforms for Hilbert spaces associated with positive definite functions on $\mathbb{R}$, and positive definite tempered distributions, incl., generalizations to non-abelian locally compact groups. Applications to the…
We examine convergent representations for the sum of a decaying exponential and a Bessel function in the form \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{-an}}{(\frac{1}{2} bn)^\nu}\,J_\nu(bn),\] where $J_\nu(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind…
Skorokhod's representation theorem states that if on a Polish space, there is defined a weakly convergent sequence of probability measures $\mu_n\stackrel{w}\to\mu_0,$ as $n\to \infty$, then there exist a probability space $(\Omega,…
We enlarge the area of applicability of the Bellman function method to estimates in the spirit of the John--Nirenberg inequality abandoning certain convexity assumptions. As an application, we consider a characteristic of a function that is…
Asymptotic expansions are derived for associated Legendre functions of degree $\nu$ and order $\mu$, where one or the other of the parameters is large. The expansions are uniformly valid for unbounded real and complex values of the argument…
We study non-trivial translation-invariant probability measures on the space of entire functions of one complex variable. The existence (and even an abundance) of such measures was proven by Benjamin Weiss. Answering Weiss question, we find…
We collect some applications of the variational formula established by Schr\"oder (1988) and Rue\ss (2013) for the quenched Lyapunov exponent of Brownian motion in stationary and ergodic nonnegative potential. We show for example that the…
We investigate properties of holomorphic extensions in the one-variable case of Whitney's Approximation Theorem on intervals. Improving a result of Gauthier-Kienzle, we construct tangentially approximating functions which extend…
We give a simple proof of L^p boundedness of iterated commutators of Riesz transforms and a product BMO function. We use a representation of the Riesz transforms by means of simple dyadic operators - dyadic shifts - which in turn reduces…
The Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality is a classical extension of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, which in turn is a functional counterpart of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. The stability of these inequalities has received significant…
In this paper by calculating carefully the capacities (defined by high order Sobolev norms on the Wiener space) for some functions of Brownian motion, we show that the dyadic approximations of the sample paths of the Brownian motion…
This paper addresses the problem of regularity properties of functions represented as an expansion in a wavelet basis with random coefficients in terms of finiteness of their Besov norm with probability 1. Such representations are used to…
We consider a boundary value problem involving conformable derivative of order $\alpha ,$ $1<\alpha <2$ and Dirichlet conditions. To prove the existence of solutions, we apply the method of upper and lower solutions together with Schauder's…
In this work it is studied a quasilinear elliptic problem in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$ involving the $1-$Laplacian operator, with potentials which can vanish at infinity. The Euler-Lagrange functional is defined in a space whose…
We show a new functional limit theorem for weakly dependent regularly varying sequences of random vectors. As it turns out, the convergence takes place in the space of R^d valued c\`{a}dl\`{a}g functions endowed with the so-called weak M1…
In this paper we consider the minimization of a novel class of fractional linear growth functionals involving the Riesz fractional gradient. These functionals lack the coercivity properties in the fractional Sobolev spaces needed to apply…
An inequality of Brascamp and Lieb provides a bound on the covariance of two functions with respect to log-concave measures. The bound estimates the covariance by the product of the $L^2$ norms of the gradients of the functions, where the…
