In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we study strict subsets, i.e. sets whose variational capacity with respect to a larger reference set is finite, in the case $p=1$.…

We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…

In Euclidean and Hyperbolic space, and the hemisphere in $S^n$, geodesic balls maximize the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of Dirichlet eigenvalues, amoung domains with fixed $\lambda_1$. We prove an upper bound on $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ for…

Examples show that Riemannian manifolds with almost-Euclidean lower bounds on scalar curvature and Perelman entropy need not be close to Euclidean space in any metric space sense. Here we show that if one additionally assumes an…

We study the condenser capacity $\mathrm{cap}_p(E,\Omega)$ on \emph{unbounded} open sets $\Omega$ in a proper connected metric space $X$ equipped with a locally doubling measure supporting a local $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, where…

It is a well-known fact -- which can be shown by elementary calculus -- that the volume of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ decays to zero and simultaneously gets concentrated on the thin shell near the boundary sphere as $n \nearrow…

We pursue a systematic treatment of the variational capacity on metric spaces and give full proofs of its basic properties. A novelty is that we study it with respect to nonopen sets, which is important for Dirichlet and obstacle problems…

We prove that for any $2<p<\infty$ and for every $n$-dimensional subspace $X$ of $L_p$, represented on $\mathbb R^n$, whose unit ball $B_X$ is in Lewis' position one has the following two-level Gaussian concentration inequality: \[ \mathbb…

We show that in doubling, geodesic metric measure spaces (including, for example, Euclidean space), sets of positive measure have a certain large-scale metric density property. As an application, we prove that a set of positive measure in…

In a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we show that every set satisfying a suitable capacitary density condition is removable for Newton-Sobolev functions.

We give an affirmative answer to the resistance conjecture on characterization of parabolic Harnack inequalities in terms of volume doubling, upper capacity bounds and a Poincar\'e inequalities. The key step is to show that these three…

Here we show existence of numerous subsets of Euclidean and metric spaces that, despite having empty interior, still support Poincar\'e inequalities. Most importantly, our methods do not depend on any rectilinear or self-similar structure…

The volume entropy of a compact metric measure space is known to be the exponential growth rate of the measure lifted to its universal cover at infinity. For a compact Riemannian $n$-manifold with a negative lower Ricci curvature bound and…

We consider the following dichotomy for $\Sigma^0_2$ finitary relations $R$ on analytic subsets of the generalized Baire space for $\kappa$: either all $R$-independent sets are of size at most $\kappa$, or there is a $\kappa$-perfect…

As it is known, universal codes, which estimate the entropy rate consistently, exist for stationary ergodic sources over finite alphabets but not over countably infinite ones. We generalize universal coding as the problem of universal…

We study the isoperimetric problem in Euclidean space endowed with a density. We first consider piecewise constant densities and examine particular cases related to the characteristic functions of half-planes, strips and balls. We also…

This paper addresses the so-called conformal capacities in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 3$, through comparing three existing definitions (due to Betsakos, Colesanti-Cuoghi, Anderson-Vamananmurthy-Fuglede respectively) and studying their associated…

A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…

We derive the isoperimetric profile of Gaussian type for an absolutely continuous probability measure on Euclidean spaces with respect to the Lebesgue measure, whose density is a radial function.The key is a generalization of the Poincar\'e…
