We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

The purpose of this paper is to study the lower semicontinuity with respect to the strong $L^1$-convergence, of some integral functionals defined in the space SBD of special functions with bounded deformation. Precisely, let $U$ be a…

In the spirit of Kobayashi's applications of methods of invariant metrics to questions of projective geometry, we introduce a projective analogue of the complex squeezing function. Using Frankel's work, we prove that for convex domains it…

Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…

In this note some structural properties of grand variable exponent Lebesgue/ Morrey spaces over spaces of homogeneous type are obtained. In particular, it is proved that the closure of the class of bounded functions and the closure of…

For $s\in (0,1)$ we introduce a notion of fractional $s$-mass on $(n-2)$-dimensional closed, orientable surfaces in $\R^n$. Moreover, we prove its $\Gamma$-convergence, with respect to the flat topology, and pointwise convergence to the…

We construct random Morse functions on surfaces by random walk and compute related distributions. We study the space of Morse functions through these random variables. We consider subspaces characterized by the surfaces with boundary…

For a broad class of integral functionals defined on the space of $n$-dimensional convex bodies, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for monotonicity, and necessary conditions for the validity of a Brunn-Minkowski type…

Morrey--Sobolev inequalities are established for functions in weighted Sobolev spaces on the $n$-dimensional half-space, where the weight is a power of the distance to the boundary, as well as for Sobolev spaces on the $n$-dimensional…

We prove fractional boundary Hardy's inequality in dimension one for the critical case $sp =1$. Optimality of the inequality is obtained for any $p$. The extra logarithmic correction term appears in usual fashion. We also provide a concrete…

Let $(X,\mathcal{A}, \mu)$ be a probability measure space and let $T_i,$ $1\leq i\leq H,$ be invertible bi measurable measure preserving transformations on this measure space. We give a sufficient condition for the product of $H$ bounded…

Generalizing earlier work by Ros in ambient dimension three, we prove an affine lower bound for the Morse index of closed minimal hypersurfaces inside a flat torus in terms of their first Betti number (with purely dimensional coefficients).

We continue the study of local $Tb$ theorems for square functions defined in the upper half-space $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+, \mu \times dt/t)$. Here $\mu$ is allowed to be a non-homogeneous measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove a…

We consider a weighted nonlocal area functional in which the coefficients do not satisfy the triangle inequality. In the context of three phase transitions, this means that one of the weights is larger than the sum of the other two, say…

We prove a structural theorem that provides a precise local picture of how a sequence of closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces with uniformly bounded index (and volume if the ambient dimension is greater than three) in a Riemannian manifold…

In this paper, we show that the optimal fundamental estimate holds true on a weakly $1$-complete manifold with mild conditions, then we establish the weak Morse inequalities for lower energy forms on the manifold. We also study the case for…

We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.

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…

In this note we investigate the regularity of geodesics in the space of convex and plurisubharmonic functions. In the real setting we prove (optimal) local C^{1,1} regularity. We construct examples which prove that the global C^{1,1}…

We prove that a polar foliation of codimension at least three in an irreducible compact symmetric space is hyperpolar, unless the symmetric space has rank one. For reducible symmetric spaces of compact type, we derive decomposition results…
