Let $\mathbb{S}_n$ denote the symmetric group on $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with the uniform probability measure. For a permutation $\pi \in \mathbb{S}_n$ let $X_{\pi}$ denote the simplicial complex on the vertex set $[n]$ whose simplices are all…

For non-trivial solutions to the zero mode equation on a closed spin manifold \[D \varphi=iA\cdot \varphi,\] we first provide a simple proof for the sharp inequality \eq{ \norm{A}_{L^n}^2 \ge \frac {n}{4(n-1)} Y(M,[g]), } where $Y(M,[g])$…

We prove that a self similar measure is absolutely continuous providing that it satisfies a condition depending on its Garsia entropy, contraction ratio, and the separation between different points in approximations of the self similar…

Motivated by a question of M. Hochman, we construct examples of hyperbolic IFSs $\Phi$ on $[0,1]$ where linear and non-linear behaviour coexist. Namely, for every $2\leq r \leq \infty$ we exhibit the existence of a $C^r$-smooth IFS such…

Let $(M,Q)$ be a compact, three dimensional manifold of strictly negative sectional curvature. Let $(\Sigma,P)$ be a compact, orientable surface of hyperbolic type (i.e. of genus at least two). Let $\theta:\pi_1(\Sigma,P)\to\pi_1(M,Q)$ be a…

We consider the one-dimensional John-Nirenberg inequality: $$ |\{x\in I_0:|f(x)-f_{I_0}|>\a\}|\le C_1|I_0|\exp\Big(-\frac{C_2}{\|f\|_{*}}\a\Big). $$ A. Korenovskii found that the sharp $C_2$ here is $C_2=2/e$. It is shown in this paper that…

In this paper, let $n\geq2$ be an integer, $P=diag(-I_{n-\kappa},I_\kappa,-I_{n-\kappa},I_\kappa)$ for some integer $\kappa\in[0, n)$, and $\Sigma \subset {\bf R}^{2n}$ be a partially symmetric compact convex hypersurface, i.e., $x\in…

We study the Dirichlet problem for a graph $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normalized constant mean curvature $H>0$ and planar boundary $\Gamma=\partial \Omega$. Our main result is that the optimal solvability condition, namely that the…

Smooth solutions to the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations obey the following maximum principle: $$\sup_{t\geq 0}\|rv^\theta(t, \cdot)\|_{L^\infty} \leq \|rv^\theta(0, \cdot)\|_{L^\infty}.$$ We prove that all solutions with initial data…

Let $f\in C^1(\mathbb{R})$. We study stable solutions $u$ of the mean curvature equation \[ \operatorname{div}\left( \frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}} \right) = -f(u) \qquad \text{in}\ \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n. \] In the local…

Let $M$ be Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature $K_{M}\leq-k^{2}$, $k>0$. Denote by $\partial_{\infty}M$ the asymptotic boundary of $M$. We say that $M$ satisfies the strict convexity condition (SC condition) if, given…

Based on a recent work of Mancini-Thizy [28], we obtain the nonexistence of extremals for an inequality of Adimurthi-Druet [1] on a closed Riemann surface $(\Sigma,g)$. Precisely, if $\lambda_1(\Sigma)$ is the first eigenvalue of the…

We obtain some rigidity results for metrics whose Schouten tensor is bounded from below after conformal transformations. Liang Cheng recently proved that a complete, nonflat, locally conformally flat manifold with Ricci pinching condition…

We prove a splitting theorem for a smooth noncompact manifold with (possibly noncompact) boundary. We show that if a noncompact manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ has $\lambda_1(-\alpha\Delta+\operatorname{Ric})\geq 0$ for some…

We show that on any Riemannian surface for each $0<c<\infty$ there exists an immersed $C^{1,1}$ curve that is smooth and with curvature equal to $\pm c$ away from a point. We give examples showing that, in general, the regularity of the…

We present several Liouville type results for the $p$-Laplacian in $\R^N$. Suppose that $h$ is a nonnegative regular function such that $$ h(x) = a|x|^\gamma\ {\rm for}\ |x|\ {\rm large},\ a>0\ {\rm and}\ \gamma> -p. $$ We obtain the…

We consider the stationary and non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ and in the exterior domain outside of the large circle. The solution $v$ is handled in the class with $\nabla v \in L^q$ for $q \ge 2$.…

Motivated from one-dimensional rigidity results of entire solutions to Liouville equation, we consider the semilinear equation \begin{align} \label{liouvilleequationab} \Delta u=G(u) \quad \mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^n$}, \end{align}where $G>0,…

We prove that if the elliptic problem $-\Delta u+b(x)|\nabla u|=c(x)u$ with $c\ge0$ has a positive supersolution in a domain $\Omega$ of $ \IR^{N\ge 3}$, then $c,b$ must satisfy the inequality \[\sqrt{ \int_\Omega c\phi^2}\le \sqrt{…
