In this paper we study extremal behaviors of the mean to max ratio of the $p$-torsion function with respect to the geometry of the domain. For $p$ larger than the dimension of the space $N$, we prove that the upper bound is uniformly below…

Hypercontractivity is proved for products of qubit channels that belong to self-adjoint semigroups. The hypercontractive bound gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a product of the form e^{- t_1 H_1} \ot ... \ot e^{- t_n H_n} to be…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ for $n\geq 2$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain with a $C^2$-smooth boundary. We study the compactness of composition operators on the Bergman spaces of smoothly bounded convex domains. We give a partial…

We continue the development of real noncommutative (nc) convexity, building on the recent and profound complex theory of Davidson and Kennedy. The present paper focuses on the theory of nc extreme points (and pure and maximal points) and…

In this paper, we consider the well-known following shape optimization problem: $$\lambda_2(\Omega^*)=\min_{\stackrel{|\Omega|=V_0} {\Omega\textrm{ convex}}} \lambda_2(\Omega),$$ where $\lambda_2(\Om)$ denotes the second eigenvalue of the…

We investigate a potential obtained as the convolution of a radially symmetric function and the characteristic function of a body (the closure of a bonded open set) with exterior cones. In order to restrict the location of a maximizer of…

Maximality of a contractive tuple of operators is considered. Characterization of a contractive tuple to be maximal is obtained. Notion of maximality of a submodule of Drury-Arveson module on the $d$-dimensional unit ball $\mathbb{B}_d$ is…

This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…

Let $\Omega$ be an unbounded domain in $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{d}.$ A positive harmonic function $u$ on $\Omega$ that vanishes on the boundary of $\Omega$ is called a Martin function. In this note, we show that, when $\Omega$ is…

A classical theorem of Malykhin says that if $\{X_\alpha:\alpha\leq\kappa\}$ is a family of compact spaces such that $t(X_\alpha)\leq \kappa$, for every $\alpha\leq\kappa$, then $t\left( \prod_{\alpha\leq \kappa} X_\alpha \right)\leq…

We propose faster methods for unconstrained optimization of \emph{structured convex quartics}, which are convex functions of the form \begin{equation*} f(x) = c^\top x + x^\top \mathbf{G} x + \mathbf{T}[x,x,x] + \frac{1}{24} \mathopen\|…

In this paper, we prove a dihedral extremality and rigidity theorem for a large class of codimension zero submanifolds with polyhedral boundary in warped product manifolds. We remark that the spaces considered in this paper are not…

In this paper, our primary objective is to study a possible decomposition of an approximately convex sequence. For a given $\varepsilon>0$; a sequence $\big<u_n\big>_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is said to be $\varepsilon$-convex, if for any…

We study the behavior of the fractional convexity when the fractional parameter goes to 1. For any notion of convexity, the convex envelope of a datum prescribed on the boundary of a domain is defined as the largest possible convex function…

With a simple generic approach, we develop a classification that encodes and measures the strength of completeness (or compactness) properties in various types of spaces and ordered structures. The approach also allows us to encode notions…

We study the set of curvature functions which a given compact manifold with boundary can possess. First, we prove that the sign demanded by the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is a necessary and sufficient condition for a given function to be the…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and let $K = k(B)$ be the function field of a geometrically irreducible projective curve $B$ over $k$. Let $A/K$ be a $g$-dimensional abelian variety with $\mathrm{Tr}_{K/k}(A) = 0$. We prove that…

In this paper we prove new bounds for sums of convex or concave functions. Specifically, we prove that for all $A,B \subseteq \mathbb R$ finite sets, and for all $f,g$ convex or concave functions, we have $$|A + B|^{38}|f(A) + g(B)|^{38}…
