Bounds are obtained for the $L^p$ norm of the torsion function $v_{\Omega}$, i.e. the solution of $-\Delta v=1,\, v\in H_0^1(\Omega),$ in terms of the Lebesgue measure of $\Omega$ and the principal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ of the…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in Euclidean space with finite Lebesgue measure $|\Omega|$. We obtain some properties of the set function $F:\Omega\mapsto \R^+$ defined by $$ F(\Omega)=\frac{T(\Omega)\lambda_1(\Omega)}{|\Omega|} ,$$ where…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in Euclidean space $\R^m,\, m=2,3,...$, and let $v_{\Omega}$ denote the torsion function for $\Omega$. It is known that $v_{\Omega}$ is bounded if and only if the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

For all $p>1$ and all centrally symmetric convex bodies $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ define $Mf$ as the centered maximal function associated to $K$. We show that when $d=1$ or $d=2$, we have $||Mf||_p\ge (1+\epsilon(p,K))||f||_p$. For $d\ge 3$,…

A shape optimization program is developed for the ratio of Riesz capacities $\text{Cap}_q(K)/\text{Cap}_p(K)$, where $K$ ranges over compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In different regions of the $pq$-parameter plane, maximality is conjectured…

Let $T_{{\rm CM}}(d)$ be the largest size of the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication (CM) defined over a degree $d$ number field. Work of Breuer and Clark--Pollack showed $\limsup_{d \to \infty} \frac{T_{{\rm…

For compact subsets $E$ of the unit disk $ \mathbb{D}$ we study the capacity of the condenser ${\rm cap}( \mathbb{D},E)$ by means of set functionals defined in terms of hyperbolic geometry. In particular, we study experimentally the case of…

The operator $T$, defined by convolution with the affine arc length measure on the moment curve parametrized by $h(t)=(t,t^{2},...,t^{d})$ is a bounded operator from $L^{p}$ to $L^{q}$ if $(\frac{1}{p}, \frac{1}{q})$ lies on a line segment.…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be a 1-sided non-tangentially accessible domain (i.e., quantitatively open and path-connected) satisfiying the capacity density condition. Let $L_0 u=-\mathrm{div}(A_0 \nabla u)$,…

We construct a weakly compact convex subset of $\ell^2$ with nonempty interior that has an isolated maximal element, with respect to the lattice order $\ell _+^2$. Moreover, the maximal point cannot be supported by any strictly positive…
