We consider volume-constrained minimizers of the fractional perimeter with the addition of a potential energy in the form of a volume inte- gral. Such minimizers are solutions of the prescribed fractional curvature problem. We prove…
We study geometric characterizations of the Poincar\'{e} inequality in doubling metric measure spaces in terms of properties of separating sets. Given a couple of points and a set separating them, such properties are formulated in terms of…
Quantum Hypothesis Testing has shown the advantages that quantum resources can offer in the discrimination of competing hypothesis. Here, we apply this framework to optomechanical systems and fundamental physics questions. In particular, we…
The triumphs of the Standard Model of Particle Physics call attention upon an old idea, that the so-called vacuum is an accessible physical medium, and not just a tautology. I take this idea as a serious working hypothesis, and I suggest a…
We study weighted porous media equations on domains $\Omega\subseteq{\mathbb R}^N$, either with Dirichlet or with Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions when $\Omega\not={\mathbb R}^N$. Existence of weak solutions and uniqueness in a…
If textbook Lorentz invariance is actually a property of the equations describing a sector of matter above some critical distance scale, several sectors of matter with different critical speeds in vacuum can coexist and an absolute rest…
We characterize symmetric spaces of non-positive curvature by the equality case of general inequalities between geometric quantities
We study the stationary measures for variants of the Porous Medium Model in dimension 1. These are exclusion processes that belong to the class of kinetically constrained models, in which an exchange can occur between $x$ and $x+1$ only if…
We introduce a new way of quantifying the degrees of incompatibility of two ob- servables in a probabilistic physical theory and, based on this, a global measure of the degree of incompatibility inherent in such theories, across all…
The equivalence postulate approach to quantum mechanics aims to formulate quantum mechanics from a fundamental geometrical principle. Underlying the formulation there exists a basic cocycle condition which is invariant under…
We formulate symmetric versions of classical variational principles. Within the framework of non-smooth critical point theory, we detect Palais-Smale sequences with additional second order and symmetry information. We discuss applications…
Let Y be a locally convex Hausdorff space, K \subset E a cone and \leq_K the partial order defined by K. Let (X, p) be a TV S- cone metric space, {\phi} : K \rightarrow K a vectorial comparison function and f : X \rightarrow X such that…
We provide a comparison test for meromorphic extensions, i.e., if two series are ``close enough" then the existence of a meromorphic extension of one to the entire complex plane ensures a similar extension for the other. We use this result…
We study a porous medium equation, with nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. We pose the problem in n-dimensional space for all t>0 with bounded and compactly supported initial data, and prove…
In the present paper, a continuum model is introduced for fluid flow in a deformable porous medium, where the fluid may undergo phase transitions. Typically, such problems arise in modeling liquid-solid phase transformations in groundwater…
Motivated by quantum resource theories, we introduce a notion of incompatibility for quantum measurements relative to a reference basis. The notion arises by considering states diagonal in that basis and investigating whether probability…
Multivariance of geometry means that at the point $P_{0}$ there exist many vectors $P_{0}P_{1}$, $\P_{0}P_{2}$,... which are equivalent (equal) to the vector $\Q_{0}Q_{1}$ at the point $Q_{0}$, but they are not equivalent between…
If a central vector potential V(r,a) in the Dirac equation is monotone in a parameter 'a', then a discrete eigenvalue E(a) is monotone in 'a'. For such a special class of comparisons, this generalizes an earlier comparison theorem that was…
Measurement incompatibility is one of the basic aspects of quantum theory. Here we study the structure of the set of compatible -- i.e. jointly measurable -- measurements. We are interested in whether or not there exist compatible…
Using the generalized variational framework, the strong/weak existence and uniqueness of solutions are derived for a class of distribution dependent stochastic porous media equations on general measure spaces, which also extends the…
