We establish two global subellipticity properties of positive symmetric second-order partial differential operators on $L_2(\Ri^d)$. First, if $m \in \Ni$ then we consider operators $H_0$ with coefficients in $W^{m+1,\infty}(\Ri^d)$ and…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

In this paper, we proved that for a bounded Hopf-symmetric domain $\Omega$ in a noncompact rank one symmetric space $M$, the second Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_2 (\Omega) \leq \lambda_2 (B_1)$ where $B_1$ is a geodesic ball in $M$ such…

For a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…

We study absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure on domains $\Omega$ that have large complements. We show that if $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ is $d$-Ahlfors regular and splits $ \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ into…

We say that $\Gamma$, the boundary of a bounded Lipschitz domain, is locally dilation invariant if, at each $x\in \Gamma$, $\Gamma$ is either locally $C^1$ or locally coincides (in some coordinate system centred at $x$) with a Lipschitz…
