We settle the issue of well-posedness for the Dirichlet problem for a higher order elliptic system ${\mathcal L}(x,D_x)$ with complex-valued, bounded, measurable coefficients in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, with boundary data in Besov…

We derive a priori $C^2$ estimates for a class of complex Monge-Ampere type equations on Hermitian manifolds. As an application we solve the Dirichlet problem for these equations under the assumption of existence of a subsolution; the…

Let $X$ be a complex space and $H$ a positive homogeneous plurisubharmonic function $H$ on $X\times\C^m$. Consider the Hartogs-type domain $\Omega_{H}(X):=\{(z,w)\in X\times \C^m:H(z,w)<1 \}$. Let $S$ be an analytic subset of $X$. We give…

In the setting of tube domains over symmetric cones, $T_\Omega$, we study the characterization of the positive Borel measures $\mu$ for which the Hardy space $H^p$ is continuously embedded into the Lebesgue space $L^q (T_\Omega, d\mu)$,…

This thesis studies the extension problem for higher-order fractional powers of the heat operator $H=\Delta-\partial_t$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Specifically, given $s>0$ and indicating with $[s]$ its integral part, we study the following…

We characterize those compact sets for which the Dirichlet problem has a solution within the class of continuous $m$-subharmonic functions defined on a compact set, and then within the class of $m$-harmonic functions.

The present paper commences the study of higher order differential equations in composition form. Specifically, we consider the equation Lu=\Div B^*\nabla(a\Div A\nabla u)=0, where A and B are elliptic matrices with complex-valued bounded…

We define Hecke operators U_m that sift out every m-th Taylor series coefficient of a rational function in one variable, defined over the reals. We prove several structure theorems concerning the eigenfunctions of these Hecke operators,…

We prove that a homeomorphism of a compact metric space has an expansive measure \cite{ms} if and only if it has many ones with invariant support. We also study homeomorphisms for which the expansive measures are dense in the space of Borel…

When $\mathfrak h$ is a toral subalgebra of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ over a field $\mathbf k$, and $M$ a $\mathfrak g$-module on which $\mathfrak h$ also acts torally, the Hochschild-Serre filtration of the Chevalley-Eilenberg cochain…

For a positive integer $m$ and a finite non-negative Borel measure $\mu$ on the unit circle, we study the Hadamard multipliers of higher order weighted Dirichlet-type spaces $\mathcal H_{\mu, m}$. We show that if $\alpha>\frac{1}{2},$ then…

In this paper, we prove that the first (positive) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator \[ L(u)=\Delta u-(\nabla u,x), \] is strongly log-concave if the domain is bounded and convex, which improves the conclusion in [6].…

Convexity is an important notion in non linear optimization theory as well as in infinite dimensional functional analysis. As will be seen below, very simple and powerful tools will be derived from elementary duality arguments (which are…
