We show that for a certain class of convex functions $f$, including the exponential functions $x\mapsto e^{\lambda x}$ with $\lambda>0$ a real number, and all the powers $x\mapsto x^\beta$, $x\geq 0$ and $\beta\geq 2$ a real number, with a…

The Schur-positivity order on skew shapes is defined by B \leq A if the difference s_A - s_B is Schur-positive. It is an open problem to determine those connected skew shapes that are maximal with respect to this ordering. A strong…

We consider shape optimization problems of the form $$\min\big\{J(\Omega)\ :\ \Omega\subset X,\ m(\Omega)\le c\big\},$$ where $X$ is a metric measure space and $J$ is a suitable shape functional. We adapt the notions of $\gamma$-convergence…

We determine the submaximal dimensions of the spaces of almost Einstein scales and normal conformal Killing fields for connected conformal manifolds. The results depend on the signature and dimension $n$ of the conformally nonflat conformal…

This article studies generalizations of (matrix) convexity, including partial convexity and biconvexity, under the umbrella of $\Gamma$-convexity. Here $\Gamma$ is a tuple of free symmetric polynomials determining the geometry of a…

The aim of this paper is to present an original approach that takes advantage from the geometric features of strictly convex functions to tackle the problem of finding the minimum from another perspective. The general idea is that near the…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of functions analytic and univalent (i.e. one-to-one) in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of $f\in\mathcal{S}$…

Recently, Ali et al defined the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha, \gamma)$ consisting of functions $f$ which satisfy $$\Re e^{i\phi}\left((1-\alpha+2\gamma)\frac{f(z)}{z}+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'(z)+\gamma zf''(z)-\beta\right)>0,$$ for all $z\in…

Consider the surface measure $\mu$ on a sphere in a nonvertical hyperplane on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 2$, and the convolution $f*\mu$. Form the associated maximal function $Mf=\sup_{t>0}|f*\mu_t|$ generated by the…
