In this note, we look at estimates for the scalar curvature k of a Riemannian manifold M which are related to spin^c Dirac operators: We show that one may not enlarge a Kaehler metric with positive Ricci curvature without making k smaller…
By constructing a coupling in two steps and using the Girsanov theorem under a regular conditional probability, the log-Harnack inequality is established for a large class of Gruschin type semigroups whose generator might be both degenerate…

We prove a uniform boundary Harnack inequality for nonnegative harmonic functions of the fractional Laplacian on arbitrary open set $D$. This yields a unique representation of such functions as integrals against measures on $D^c\cup…
We give a characterization of harmonic and subharmonic functions in terms of their mean values in balls and on spheres. This includes the converse of an inequality of Beardon's for subharmonic functions. We also obtain integral inequalities…
These classical inequalities allow one to estimate the number of negative eigenvalues and the sums $S_{\gamma}=\sum |\lambda_i|^{\gamma}$ for a wide class of Schr\"{o}dinger operators. We provide a detailed proof of these inequalities for…
We describe a general method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for many classes of $L$-functions. This has applications to a conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak for the mass equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms (see arxiv.org:math/0809.1636).
