Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $\pp M$ and $L= \DD+Z$ for a $C^1$-vector field $Z$ on $M$. Several equivalent statements, including the gradient and Poincar\'e/log-Sobolev type inequalities of the Neumann semigroup…

We investigate specific intrinsic curvatures $\rho_k$ (where $1\leq k\leq n$) that interpolate between the minimum Ricci curvature $\rho_1$ and the normalized scalar curvature $\rho_n=\rho$ of $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. For…

We study elliptic and parabolic problems governed by the singular elliptic operators \begin{align*} \mathcal L=y^{\alpha_1}\mbox{Tr }\left(QD^2_xu\right)+2y^{\frac{\alpha_1+\alpha_2}{2}}q\cdot \nabla_xD_y+\gamma y^{\alpha_2}…

We prove a universal lower bound for the $L^{n/2}$-norm of the Weyl tensor in terms of the Betti numbers for compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are conformally immersed as hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space. As a…

We prove an analogue of the Lewy extension theorem for a real dimension $2n$ smooth submanifold $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n}\times {\mathbb R}$, $n \geq 2$. A theorem of Hill and Taiani implies that if $M$ is CR and the Levi-form has a…

On a fairly general class of Riemannian manifolds M, we prove lower estimates in terms of the Ricci curvature for the spectral bound (when M has infinite volume) and for the spectral gap (when M has finite volume) for the Laplace-Beltrami…

We construct families of optimal Hardy-weights for a subcritical linear second-order elliptic operator using a one-dimensional reduction. More precisely, we first characterise all optimal Hardy-weights with respect to one-dimensional…

This paper is the first of two papers constructing a calculus of pseudodifferential operators suitable for doing analysis on Q-rank 1 locally symmetric spaces and Riemannian manifolds generalizing these. This generalization is the interior…

We generalize the Omori-Yau almost maximum principle of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ to a second-order linear semi-elliptic operator $L$ with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term. Using this…

We derive a priori second order estimates for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds under some very general structure conditions. We treat both equations on closed manifolds, and the Dirichlet…

We prove sharp upper and lower estimates for the parabolic kernel of the singular elliptic operator \begin{align*} \mathcal L&=\mbox{Tr }\left(AD^2\right)+\frac{\left(v,\nabla\right)}y, \end{align*} in the half-space…

Let $L= - \mathrm{div} (A \nabla \cdot)$ be an elliptic operator defined on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, complemented with mixed boundary conditions. Under suitable assumptions on the operator and the geometry, we derive an atomic…

In this note we prove an analogue of the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality, that is, that the geodesic ball is a maximiser of the first eigenvalue of some convolution type integral operators, on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ and on the real…

In this paper we present examples of nondivergence form second order elliptic operators with continuous coefficients such that $L$ has an irregular boundary point that is regular for the Laplacian. Also for any eigenvalue spread <1 of the…

Let $(\bar{M},<,>,e^\psi)$ be a Riemannian manifold with a density, and let $M$ be a closed $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\bar{M}$ with the induced metric and density. We give an upper bound on the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the…

We generalize the study of higher-form-symmetries to theories with supersymmetry. Using a supergeometry formulation, we find that ordinary higher-form-symmetries nicely combine with supersymmetry to give rise to a much larger spectrum of…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

Generalized torical band inequalities give precise upper bounds for the width of compact manifolds with boundary in terms of positive pointwise lower bounds for scalar curvature, assuming certain topological conditions. We extend several…
