Let $\Omega_0$ denote the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$) centered at the origin. We suppose that $\Omega_0$ contains a core, given by a smaller concentric ball $D_0$, made of a (possibly) different material. We discover that,…
Motivated by the direct method in the calculus of variations in $L^{\infty}$, our main result identifies the notion of convexity characterizing the weakly$^*$ lower semicontinuity of nonlocal supremal functionals: Cartesian level convexity.…
In this paper we study the covering numbers of the space of convex and uniformly bounded functions in multi-dimension. We find optimal upper and lower bounds for the $\epsilon$-covering number of $\C([a, b]^d, B)$, in the $L_p$-metric, $1…
We investigate and prove Lieb-Oxford bounds in one dimension by studying convex potentials that approximate the ill-defined Coulomb potential. A Lieb-Oxford inequality establishes a bound of the indirect interaction energy for electrons in…
In this paper, we examine some shape functionals, introduced by P\'olya and Makai, involving the torsional rigidity and the first Dirichlet-Laplacian eigenvalue for bounded, open and convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We establish new…
We consider 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds, singular along infinite lines, which are ``convex co-compact'' in a natural sense. We prove an infinitesimal rigidity statement when the angle around the singular lines is less than…
This is the second paper of two in a series under the same title ([CRX]); both study the quantitative volume space form rigidity conjecture: a closed $n$-manifold of Ricci curvature at least $(n-1)H$, $H=\pm 1$ or $0$ is diffeomorphic to a…
This article is a fundamental study in computable analysis. In the framework of Type-2 effectivity, TTE, we investigate computability aspects on finite and infinite products of effective topological spaces. For obtaining uniform results we…
We provide theory for computing the lower semi-continuous convex envelope of functionals of the type f(x) plus an l2 misfit, and discuss applications to various non-convex optimization problems. The latter term is a data fit term whereas f…
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first aim is to prove that if there exist a sequence $\{\varphi_j\}\subset \mathrm{Aut}(\Omega)$ and $a\in \Omega$ such that $\lim_{j\to\infty}\varphi_j(a)=\xi_0$ and…
We consider the unit ball $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge2$) filled with two materials with different conductivities. We perform shape derivatives up to the second order to find out precise information about locally optimal…
In this paper we study the space of solutions to an overdetermined linear system involving the Hessian of functions. We show that if the solution space has dimension greater than one, then the underlying manifold has a very rigid warped…
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we cut off a part of a convex surface by a plane near a ridge point and characterize the limiting behavior of the surface measure in $S^2$ induced by this part of surface when the plane approaches…
The topological vacuum structure of the two-dimensional $~CP^{n-1}~$ model for $~n = 3,5,7~$ is studied on the lattice. In particular we investigate the small-volume limit on the torus as well as on the sphere and compare with continuum…
We observe that the maximal open set of constant curvature k in a Riemannian manifold with curvature bounded below or above by k has a convexity type property, which we call "two-convexity". This statement is used to prove a number of…
We investigate, by means of computer simulations, shapes of nonconvex bodies that maximize resistance to their motion through a rarefied medium, considering that bodies are moving forward and at the same time slowly rotating. A…
Let $q \in \mathbb{Z} [i]$ be prime and $\chi $ be the primitive quadratic Hecke character modulo $q$. Let $\pi$ be a self-dual Hecke automorphic cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z} [i] )$ and $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $\Gamma_0 (q)…
In this paper, we deal with functionals involving the torsion and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions (to which we refer as Robin Torsion and Robin Eigenvalue), with other geometrical quantities, in the…
On a convex bounded open set, we prove that Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from below in terms of the norm of the distance function in a suitable Lebesgue space. This generalizes a result…
This note deals with estimating the volume of the set of separable mixed quantum states when the dimension of the state space grows to infinity. This has been studied recently for qubits; here we consider larger particles and conclude that,…
