We prove sharp local smoothing estimates for wave equations on compact Riemannian manifolds in $n+1$ dimensions for odd $n$ and obtain improved estimates in even dimensions. This is achieved by deriving local smoothing estimates for certain…

We show that for every complete Riemannian surface $M$ diffeomorphic to a sphere with $k \geq 0$ holes there exists a Morse function $f:M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, which is constant on each connected component of the boundary of $M$ and has…

In this paper we formulate a weighted version of minimum problem (1.4) on the sphere and we show that, for $K\le L$, if $\set{\phi_k}^K_{k=1}$ consists of the spherical functions with degree less than $N$ we can localize the points…

It is proved that given $-1/2<s<1/2$, for any $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$, there is a unique $u\in \widehat{H}^{|s|}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $$ f=\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}u+\boldsymbol{D}^{s*}u\,, $$ where $\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}, \boldsymbol{D}^{s*}$ are…

We show how Lasry-Lions's result on regularization of functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or on Hilbert spaces by sup-inf convolutions with squares of distances can be extended to (finite or infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifolds $M$ of…

We prove a characterization of the Sobolev spaces $H^\alpha$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$, where the smoothness index $\alpha$ is any positive real number and $d\geq 2$. This characterization does not use differentiation and it is…

The Schr\"odinger equation on a circle with an initially localized profile of the wave function is known to give rise to revivals or replications, where the probability density of the particle is partially reproduced at rational times. As a…

Motivated by the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa (PFR) Conjecture, we develop a theory of locality in sumsets, with applications to John-type approximation and sets with small doubling. First we show that if $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le…

We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in a compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Under the assumption that the sectional curvature of M is strictly positive, we prove the existence of a smoothly immersed sphere…

Recurrences for positive definite functions in terms of the space dimension have been used in several fields of applications. Such recurrences typically relate to properties of the system of special functions characterizing the geometry of…

We show that, for each $n\ge 3$, there exists a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on a punctured sphere $\mathbb{S}^n\setminus \{x_0\}$ for which the associated length metric extends to a length metric $d$ of $\mathbb{S}^n$ with the following…

In this paper we find the sharp forms and characterize the complex-valued extremizers of the adjoint Fourier restriction inequalities on the sphere $$\big\|\widehat{f \sigma}\big\|_{L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})} \lesssim…

We deduce a proof of the isomorphism theorem for certain closed subspace $\mc S^p_\Gamma(X)$ of the $L^p$-Schwartz class functions $(0< p \leq 2) $ on a Riemannian symmetric space $X$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite subset of $\what{K}_M$. The…

We prove a variable coefficient version of the square function estimate of Guth--Wang--Zhang. By a classical argument of Mockenhaupt--Seeger--Sogge, it implies the full range of sharp local smoothing estimates for $2+1$ dimensional Fourier…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. On $X$ there is a special morphism $Fr_X$, which raises coordinates to exponent $q$: $t\mapsto t^q$. The two main results in this paper are: Result 1: If…

We extend the classical theory of sphere theorems to the transverse geometry of Riemannian foliations. In this setting, we establish transverse analogues of the Grove-Shiohama diameter sphere theorem and of the Berger-Klingenberg…

Consider the (Helgason-) Fourier transform on a Riemannian symmetric space G/K. We give a simple proof of the L^p-Schwartz space isomorphism theorem (0 <p \le 2) for K-finite functions. The proof is a generalization of J.-Ph. Anker's proof…

We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in non-compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,h)$ without boundary. First, under the assumption that $(M,h)$ is the euclidean 3-space endowed with a semi-perturbed metric…

We prove two-sided inequalities between the integral moduli of smoothness of a function on $\mathbb{R}^d/\mathbb{T}^d$ and the weighted tail-type integrals of its Fourier transform/series. Sharpness of obtained results in particular is…

In this paper we investigate the nature of stationary points of functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics on a smooth compact manifold. Special cases are spectral invariants associated with Laplace or Dirac operators such as functional…
