Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and $k\geq 1$ an integer such that $n>2k$. We show that there exists $B_0>0$ such that for all $u \in H^{k}(M)$, \[\|u\|_{L^{2^\sharp}(M)}^2 \leq K_0^2 \int_M |\Delta_g^{k/2}…
In this note, we prove a uniqueness result, up to a positive multiplicative constant, for nontrivial convex solutions to a system of Monge-Amp\`ere equations \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \det D^2 u~& = \gamma…
For each $m\ge 1$ and $p>2$ we characterize bounded simply connected Sobolev $L^m_p$-extension domains $\Omega\subset R^2$. Our criterion is expressed in terms of certain intrinsic subhyperbolic metrics in $\Omega$. Its proof is based on a…
We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…
We prove that maximal operators of convolution type associated to smooth kernels are bounded in the homogeneous Hardy-Sobolev spaces $\dot{H}^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ when $1/p < 1+1/d$. This range of exponents is sharp. As a by-product of the…
We study the sharp constant in the Morrey inequality for fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces on the whole $\mathbb{R}^N$. By generalizing a recent work by Hynd and Seuffert, we prove existence of extremals, together with some…
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…
For $N \geq 3$ and $p \in (1,N)$, we look for $g \in L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ that satisfies the following weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality: \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} g |u|^p \log |u|^p \ dx \leq \gamma \log \left(…
This paper deals with the fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s, p}(\Omega)$, with $s\in (0, 1]$ and $p\in[1,+\infty]$. Here, we use the interpolation results in [4] to provide suitable conditions on the exponents $s$ and $p$ so that the spaces…
We focus here on the analysis of the regularity or singularity of solutions $\Om_{0}$ to shape optimization problems among convex planar sets, namely: $$ J(\Om_{0})=\min\{J(\Om),\ \Om\ \textrm{convex},\ \Omega\in\mathcal S_{ad}\}, $$ where…
For a bounded convex domain \Omega in R^N we prove refined Hardy inequalities that involve the Hardy potential corresponding to the distance to the boundary of \Omega, the volume of $\Omega$, as well as a finite number of sharp logarithmic…
Let $N\geq 5$, $a>0$, $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $2^\#=\frac{2(N-1)}{N-2}$ and $||u||^2=|\nabla u|_{2}^2+a|u|_{2}^2$. We prove there exists an $\alpha_{0}>0$ such that, for all $u\in…
We establish a pointwise limit theorem for a broad class of pa\-ra\-me\-ter-\-de\-pen\-dent BMO-type seminorms as the parameter tends to zero. By introducing novel BMO-type seminorms, we provide a unified framework that extends several…
We exhibit a smoothly bounded domain $\Omega$ with the property that for suitable $K\subset\partial \Omega$ and $z\in \Omega$ the "Sadullaev boundary relative extremal functions" satisfy the inequality…
For a domain $\Omega$ in a geodesically convex surface, we introduce a scattering energy $\mathcal{E}(\Omega)$, which measures the asymmetry of $\Omega$ by quantifying its incompatibility with an isometric circle action. We prove several…
We compute the Morse index of $1$-spike solutions of the semilinear elliptic problem \begin{equation}\label{abstr} \tag{$\mathcal P_p$} \begin{cases} -\Delta u= u^p & \text{in $\Omega$} \\ u=0 & \text{on $\partial\Omega$} \\ u>0 & \text{in…
We introduce appropriate computable moduli of smoothness to characterize the rate of best approximation by multivariate polynomials on a connected and compact $C^2$-domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. This new modulus of smoothness is…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain that supports the $p$-Poincar\'e inequality. Given a homeomorphism $\varphi \in L^1_p(\Omega)$, for $p>n$ we show the domain $\varphi(\Omega)$ has finite geodesic diameter. This result has a…
Let $p\in(1,n)$. If $\Omega$ is a convex domain in $\rn$ whose $p$-capacitary potential function $u$ is $(1-p)/(n-p)$-concave (i.e. $u^{(1-p)/(n-p)}$ is convex), then $\Omega$ is a ball.
We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…
