The spherical means Radon transform $\mathcal{M}f(x,r)$ is defined by the integral of a function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ over the sphere $S(x,r)$ of radius $r$ centered at a $x$, normalized by the area of the sphere. The problem of…

It is shown that any smooth closed orientable manifold of dimension $2k + 1$, $k \geq 2$, admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^{3k}$. This improves by $1$ the previously known lower bound of $3k+1$ on the possible…

Let $D$ be an integral domain. A nonzero nonunit $a$ of $D$ is called a valuation element if there is a valuation overring $V$ of $D$ such that $aV\cap D=aD$. We say that $D$ is a valuation factorization domain (VFD) if each nonzero nonunit…

We study the existence of nontrivial unbounded surfaces $S\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with the property that the constant charge distribution on $S$ is an electrostatic equilibrium, i.e. the resulting electrostatic force is normal to the surface…

We study integral transforms mapping a function on the Euclidean space to the family of its integration on some hypersurfaces, that is, a function of hypersurfaces. The hypersurfaces are given by the graphs of functions with fixed axes of…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…

In this paper we study the geometry and the topology of unbounded domains in the Hyperbolic Space $\mathbb{H} ^n$ supporting a bounded positive solution to an overdetermined elliptic problem. Under suitable conditions on the elliptic…

Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in $\R^n$ collapses to a domain in $\R^{n-1}$, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The…

Our project is to define Radon-type transforms in symplectic geometry. The chosen framework consists of symplectic symmetric spaces whose canonical connection is of Ricci-type. They can be considered as symplectic analogues of the spaces of…

We show that if the eccentricity of an ellipse is sufficiently small then up to isometries it is spectrally unique among all smooth domains. We do not assume any symmetry, convexity, or closeness to the ellipse, on the class of domains. In…

We show that the linear span of the set of scalar products of gradients of harmonic functions on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ which vanish on a closed proper subset of the boundary is dense in $L^1(\Omega)$. We apply…

The volume cut off by a hyperplane from a bounded body with smooth boundary in $R^{2k}$ never is an algebraic function on the space of hyperplanes: for k=1 it is the famous lemma XXVIII from Newton's Principia. Following an analogy of these…

We discuss stability of square root domains for uniformly elliptic partial differential operators $L_{a,\Omega,\Gamma} = -\nabla\cdot a \nabla$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, with mixed boundary conditions on $\partial \Omega$, with respect to additive…

We study the shapes of compact connected 3-manifolds with connected smooth boundary in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\boldsymbol{R}^3$. We call them bounded domains. Since compact connected surfaces in $\boldsymbol{R}^3$ bound unique…

We consider elliptic equations of order $2m$ in a bounded domain $Q\subset\mathbb R^n$ with nonlocal boundary-value conditions connecting the values of a solution and its derivatives on $(n-1)$-dimensional smooth manifolds $\Gamma_i$ with…

It is an observation due to J.J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain D in $C^n$ there exists s>0 such that the dbar-Neumann operator on D maps $W^s_{(0,1)}(D)$ (the space of $(0,1)$-forms with coefficient functions in…

ECH (embedded contact homology) capacities give obstructions to symplectically embedding one four-dimensional symplectic manifold with boundary into another. These obstructions are known to be sharp when the domain and target are ellipsoids…

We show that the symplectic $2$-product of $n$ two-dimensional star-shaped domains has an interior symplectomorphic to that of a symplectic ellipsoid. Adapting this construction, given $0<\alpha \leq 1$, we obtain that every open subset of…

The volume function defined by a domain in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the function on the space of affine hyperplanes equal to volumes cut by these hyperplanes from the domain. The study of these functions originates from the works…
