On a doubling metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$ endowed with a "carr\'e du champ", let $\mathcal{L}$ be the associated Markov generator and $\dot L^{p}_\alpha(M,\mathcal{L},\mu)$ the corresponding homogeneous Sobolev space of order…

For a general compact variety $\Gamma$ of arbitrary codimension, one can consider the $L^p$ mapping properties of the B\^ochner-Riesz multiplier $$ m_{\Gamma, \alpha}(\zeta) \ = \ {\rm dist}(\zeta, \Gamma)^{\alpha} \phi(\zeta) $$ where…

We establish sharp upper and lower bounds of Gaussian type for the heat kernel in the metric measure space satisfying $\RCD(0,N)$ ( equivalently, $\RCD^\ast(0,N)$) condition with $N\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{1\}$ and having maximum volume…

On a smooth compact connected $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, if $0 < s < d$ then an asymptotically equidistributed sequence of finite subsets of $M$ that is also well-separated yields a sequence of Riesz $s$-energies that…

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 sharp power-weighted $L^p$, weak type and restricted weak type inequalities for the heat semigroup maximal operator and Riesz transforms associated with the Bessel operator $B_{\nu}$ in the exotic range of the parameter $-\infty <…

We show that any closed n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be embedded by a map constructed from heat kernels at a certain time from a finite number of points. Both this time and this number can be bounded in terms of the dimension, a…

We study $L^p$ bounds for two kinds of Riesz transforms on $\mathbb{R}^d$ related to the harmonic oscillator. We pursue an explicit estimate of their $L^p$ norms that is independent of the dimension $d$ and linear in $\max(p, p/(p-1))$.

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be a closed, Ahlfors-David regular set of dimension $n$ satisfying the "Riesz Transform bound" $$\sup_{\varepsilon>0}\int_E\left|\int_{\{y\in E:|x-y|>\varepsilon\}}\frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}} f(y)…

We introduce and study the unconstrained polarization (or Chebyshev) problem which requires to find an $N$-point configuration that maximizes the minimum value of its potential over a set $A$ in $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem…

This paper discusses the existence of gradient estimates for second order hypoelliptic heat kernels on manifolds. It is now standard that such inequalities, in the elliptic case, are equivalent to a lower bound on the Ricci tensor of the…

We consider Muckenhoupt weights $w$, and define weighted Hardy spaces $H^p_{\mathcal{T}}(w)$, where $\mathcal{T}$ denotes a conical square function or a non-tangential maximal function defined via the heat or the Poisson semigroup generated…

We investigate separation properties of $N$-point configurations that minimize discrete Riesz $s$-energy on a compact set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$. When $A$ is a smooth $(p-1)$-dimensional manifold without boundary and $s\in [p-2, p-1)$, we…

We estimate the heat kernel on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$, with $dim(M)\geq 3$, evolving under the Ricci-harmonic map flow and the result depends on some constants arising from a Sobolev imbedding theorem. In a special case, when the…

In this paper we provide a way of taking $L^p$, $p > \frac{m}{2}$ bounds on a $m-$ dimensional Riemannian metric and transforming that into H\"{o}lder bounds for the corresponding distance function. One can think of this new estimate as a…

In this note it is shown that if $\mu$ is an $n$-Ahlfors regular measure in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ such that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform is bounded in $L^2(\mu)$ and the so-called BAUPP (bilateral approximation by unions of parallel…

For incomplete sub-Riemannian manifolds, and for an associated second-order hypoelliptic operator, which need not be symmetric, we identify two alternative conditions for the validity of Gaussian-type upper bounds on heat kernels and…

The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…

When studying non-symmetric nonlocal operators $$ {\cal L} f(x) = \int_{{\bf R}^d} \left( f(x+z)-f(x)-\nabla f(x)\cdot z 1_{\{|z|\leq 1\}} \right) \frac{\kappa (x, z)}{|z|^{d+\alpha}} d z , $$ where $0<\alpha<2$ and $\kappa (x, z)$ is a…
