We prove that constant functions are the unique real-valued maximizers for all $L^2-L^{2n}$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequalities on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\in\{3,4,5,6,7\}$, where $n\geq 3$ is an…
We show that if a measure of dimension $s$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ admits $(p,q)$ Fourier restriction for some endpoint exponents allowed by its dimension, namely $q=\tfrac{s}{d}p'$ for some $p>1$, then it is either absolutely continuous or…
We investigate threshold phenomena in weighted $\ell^2$-spaces and characterize the critical regimes where elements with either small support or maximally bad range can be constructed. Our results are shown to be optimal in several…
A symmetrization inequality of Rogers and of Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger states that for a certain class of multilinear integral expressions, among tuples of sets of prescribed Lebesgue measures, tuples of balls centered at the origin are among…
In this paper we maximize a class of functionals under certain constraints. We find sufficient and necessary conditions for these maximizers to exist and be unique. Moreover, we characterize them and discuss the optimality of our results by…
We study a.e. convergence on $L^p$, and Lorentz spaces $L^{p,q}$, $p>\tfrac{2d}{d-1}$, for variants of Riesz means at the critical index $d(\tfrac 12-\tfrac 1p)-\tfrac12$. We derive more general results for (quasi-)radial Fourier…
We prove new $L^p$-$L^q$-estimates for solutions to elliptic differential operators with constant coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We use the estimates for the decay of the Fourier transform of particular surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…
We consider the problem of maximizing the volume of hermitian ellipsoids inscribed in a given pseudoconvex domain in complex Euclidean space. We prove existence and uniqueness, and give a characterization of the maximizer.
We prove that there exists an extremal function to the Airy Strichartz inequality, $e^{-t\partial_x^3}: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^8_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ by using the linear profile decomposition. Furthermore we show that, if $f$ is an…
We characterize all (absolute) 1-Lipschitz retracts Q of R^n with the maximum norm. Omitting two technical details, they coincide with the subsets written as the solution set of (at most) 2n inequalities like follows. For every coordinate…
We consider the problem of finding extremal potentials for the functional determinant of a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator defined on a bounded interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions under an $L^q$-norm restriction ($q\geq 1$).…
An effective means to approximate an analytic, nonperiodic function on a bounded interval is by using a Fourier series on a larger domain. When constructed appropriately, this so-called Fourier extension is known to converge geometrically…
The main result of this note is the strengthening of a quite arbitrary a priori Fourier restriction estimate to a multi-parameter maximal estimate of the same type. This allows us to discuss a certain multi-parameter Lebesgue point property…
We prove the existence of an open set minimizing the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with bounded, measurable coefficients, over all open sets of a given measure. Our proof is based on a free boundary approach: we…
Fourier restriction theorems, whose study had been initiated by E.M. Stein, usually describe a family of a priori estimates of the L^q-norm of the restriction of the Fourier transform of a function f in L^p (say, on Euclidean space) to a…
We study the continuity of an abstract generalization of the maximum-entropy inference - a maximizer. It is defined as a right-inverse of a linear map restricted to a convex body which uniquely maximizes on each fiber of the linear map a…
In this short note, we prove that for $\mathcal{E} \subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$ with $|\mathcal{E}| \geq q^{d-1} + O(q^2)$ then the set of determinants generated by $\mathcal{E}$ is $\mathbb{F}_q.$ This result is nearly optimal and generalizes…
The $L^q$ dimensions, for $1<q<\infty$, quantify the degree of smoothness of a measure. We study the following problem on the real line: when does the $L^q$ dimension improve under convolution? This can be seen as a variant of the…
In the past decade, much effort has gone into understanding maximizers for Fourier restriction and extension inequalities. Nearly all of the cases in which maximizers for inequalities involving the restriction or extension operator have…
In this paper, we study the extremal problem for the Strichartz inequality for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$. We show that the solutions to the associated Euler-Lagrange equation are exponentially decaying in the Fourier…
