Given any $d$-dimensional Lipschitz Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with heat kernel $\mathsf{p}$, we establish uniform upper bounds on $\mathsf{p}$ which can always be decoupled in space and time. More precisely, we prove the existence of a…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of weighted Rellich and Calderon-Zygmund inequalities in L^p, 1 \leq p \leq \infty, in the whole space and in the half-space with Dirichlet boundary conditions. General operators…
The entropy power inequality (EPI) provides lower bounds on the differential entropy of the sum of two independent real-valued random variables in terms of the individual entropies. Versions of the EPI for discrete random variables have…
A new sharp inequality featuring the differential R\'enyi entropy, the R\'enyi divergence and the R\'enyi cross-entropy of a pair of probability density functions is established. The equality is reached when one of the probability density…
A lower bound on the R\'enyi differential entropy of a sum of independent random vectors is demonstrated in terms of rearrangements. For the special case of Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, this lower bound is better than that given by the…

We study a family of strong fractional integral operators whose kernels have singularity on every coordinate subspace. We prove a desired two-weight, L^p-norm inequality provided that the corresponding multi-parameter theta-bump…
We study the problem of exact sampling under an exponential communication cost, specifically Campbell's average codeword length $L(t)$ of order $t$, and R\'enyi's entropy. We provide a lower bound on the Campbell cost of exact sampling that…
Given a domain above a Lipschitz graph, we establish solvability results for strongly elliptic second-order systems in divergence-form, allowed to have lower-order (drift) terms, with $L^p$-boundary data for $p$ near $2$ (more precisely, in…
The asymptotics of the weighted $L_{p}$-norms of Hermite polynomials, which describes the R\'enyi entropy of order $p$ of the associated quantum oscillator probability density, is determined for $n\to\infty$ and $p>0$. Then, it is applied…
We study the $L^p$ boundedness of Riesz transform as well as the reverse inequality on Riemannian manifolds and graphs under the volume doubling property and a sub-Gaussian heat kernel upper bound. We prove that the Riesz transform is then…
We study the homogeneous elliptic systems of order $2\ell$ with real constant coefficients on Lipschitz domains in $R^n$, $n\ge 4$. For any fixed $p>2$, we show that a reverse H\"older condition with exponent $p$ is necessary and sufficient…

In this paper we prove a new extremal property of the Reuleaux triangle: it maximizes the Cheeger constant among all bodies of (same) constant width. The proof relies on a fine analysis of the optimality conditions satisfied by an optimal…
