We prove a compactness theorem for metrics with Bounded Integral Curvature on a fixed closed surface $\Sigma$. As a corollary, we obtain a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities, where an accumulation…

In this paper we prove the scalar curvature extremality and rigidity for a class of warped product spaces that are possibly degenerate at the two ends. The leaves of these warped product spaces can be any closed Riemannian manifolds with…

We study the full class of kinetically constrained models in arbitrary dimension and out of equilibrium, in the regime where the density $q$ of facilitating sites in the equilibrium measure (but not necessarily in the initial measure) is…

We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…

We determine when a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l},$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l.$ We call these convex bodies "tensorial bodies". We prove that,…

We prove a qualitative and a quantitative stability of the following rigidity theorem: an anisotropic totally umbilical closed hypersurface is the Wulff shape. Consider $n \geq 2$, $p\in (1, \, +\infty)$ and $\Sigma$ an $n$-dimensional,…

Let $n\ge1$ and $B\ge2$. A real-valued function $f$ defined on the $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ is approximately convex with respect to $\Delta_{B-1}$ iff f(\sum_{i=1}^B t_ix_i) \le \sum_{i=1}^B t_if(x_i) +1 for all $x_1,...,x_B \in \Delta_n$ and…

We address extremum problems for spectral quantities associated with operators of the form $\Delta^2-\tau\Delta$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, for non-negative values of $\tau$. The focus is on two shape optimisation problems:…

The curvature potential arising from confining a particle initially in three-dimensional space onto a curved surface is normally derived in the hard constraint $q \to 0$ limit, with $q$ the degree of freedom normal to the surface. In this…

We introduce the concept of strong high-order approximate minimizers for nonconvex optimization problems. These apply in both standard smooth and composite non-smooth settings, and additionally allow convex or inexpensive constraints. An…

We study optimization problems in which a linear functional is maximized over probability measures that are dominated by a given measure according to an integral stochastic order in an arbitrary dimension. We show that the following four…

In this paper we establish the existence of extremal functions for weighted functionals with critical exponential growth in R^2, which arise from Henon-type equations. The proof is based on the notion of spherical symmetrization with…

A two-dimensional body, exhibiting a slight rotational movement, moves in a rarefied medium of particles which collide with it in a perfectly elastic way. In previously realized investigations by the first two authors, Plakhov & Gouveia…

In this note we prove that, if the cost function satisfies some necessary structural conditions and the densities are bounded away from zero and infinity, then strictly $c$-convex potentials arising in optimal transportation belong to…

In this paper we show how some metric properties of the unit sphere of a normed space can help to approach a solution to Tingley's problem. In our main result we show that if an onto isometry between the spheres of strictly convex spaces is…

We prove Obata's rigidity theorem for metric measure spaces that satisfy a Riemannian curvature-dimension condition. Additionally, we show that a lower bound $K$ for the generalized Hessian of a sufficiently regular function $u$ holds if…

The Weak Gravity Conjecture has recently been re-formulated in terms of a particle with non-negative self-binding energy. Because of the dual conformal field theory (CFT) formulation in the anti-de Sitter space the conformal dimension…

We prove upper and lower bounds for a variational functional for convex functions satisfying certain boundary conditions on a sector of the unit ball in two dimensions. The functional contains two terms: The full Hessian and its…

This paper continues the investigation begun in arXiv:1906.05602 of extending the T1 theorem of David and Journ\'e, and optimal cancellation conditions, to more general weight pairs. The main additional tool developed here is a two weight…

In these notes, uniform convergence on compacta is studied on the space of functions taking values in the set of finite Borel measures. Related limit theorems, including L\'evy's continuity theorem and functional limit theorems for…
