We prove for the first time an epiperimetric inequality for the thin obstacle Weiss' energy with odd frequencies and we apply it to solutions to the thin obstacle problem with general $C^{k,\gamma}$. In particular, we obtain the rate of…

In this paper, we will establish the best constants for certain classes of weighted Moser-Trudinger inequalities on the entire Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^N$. We will also prove the existence of maximizers of these sharp weighted…

The paper develops a continiuty method for solutions of the Abreu equation, which include extremal metrics on toric surfaces. Results are obtained, assuming a hypothesis (the "M-condition") on the solutions.

In this paper we establish a new class of weighted Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities under mild monotonicity assumptions on the weight function. As a consequence, we derive the corresponding weighted Sobolev and trace-type inequalities. These…

In this paper, we prove a Moser-Trudinger type inequality for pluri-subharmonic functions vanishing on the boundary. Our proof uses a descent gradient flow for the complex Monge-Ampere functional.

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem and a maximal inequality for actions of amenable groups on noncommutative measure spaces. To do so, we establish a square function estimate quantifying the difference between ergodic averages and some…

We will show in this paper that if $\lambda$ is very close to 1, then $$I(M,\lambda,m)= \sup_{u\in H^{1,n}_0(M) ,\int_M|\nabla u|^ndV=1}\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n |u|^\frac{n}{n-1}}-\lambda\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\frac{|\alpha_nu^\frac{n}{n-1}|^k}…

This work is devoted to the geometric analysis of metric-measure spaces satisfying a Prekopa-Leindler or a more general Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Completing the early investigations by Cordero-Erausquin, McCann and Schmuckenschlager,…

We obtain extremal majorants and minorants of exponential type for a class of even functions on $\R$ which includes $\log |x|$ and $|x|^\alpha$, where $-1 < \alpha < 1$. We also give periodic versions of these results in which the majorants…

We consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and the geodesic curvatures of a compact surface with boundary by a conformal deformation of the metric. We derive some existence results using a variational approach, either by…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…

We consider the second best constant in the Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested with the existence of extremal functions for this inequality. This problem was tackled by Djadli-Druet [5] for…

The main purpose of this short note, on the one hand, to is rigorize some part of the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [11] in a simple way, and on the other hand, to give an alternative argument from local inequalities to global ones.

The paper raises a question about the optimal critical nonlinearity for the Sobolev space in two dimensions, connected to loss of compactness, and discusses the pertinent concentration compactness framework. We study properties of the…

We prove bounds for a class of unital homomorphisms arising in the study of spectral sets, by involving extremal functions and vectors. These are used to recover three celebrated results on spectral constants by Crouzeix--Palencia,…

We give a qualitative description of extremals for Morrey's inequality. Our theory is based on exploiting the invariances of this inequality, studying the equation satisfied by extremals and the observation that extremals are optimal for a…

We prove the existence of an extremal function in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the energy associated to an stable operator. To this aim we obtain a concentration-compactness principle for stable processes in $\mathbb{R}^N$.

We apply recently developed convex programs to find the minimal-area Riemannian metric on $2n$-sided polygons ($n\geq 3$) with length conditions on curves joining opposite sides. We argue that the Riemannian extremal metric coincides with…

We prove that there exists an extremal function to the Airy Strichartz inequality, $e^{-t\partial_x^3}: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^8_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ by using the linear profile decomposition. Furthermore we show that, if $f$ is an…

In this paper, we first present simple proofs of Choi's results [4], then we give a short alternative proof for Fiedler and Markham's inequality [6]. We also obtain additional matrix inequalities related to partial determinants.
