Adapting the method of Andrews-Clutterbuck we prove an eigenvalue gap theorem for a class of non symmetric second order linear elliptic operators on a convex domain in euclidean space. The class of operators includes the Bakry-Emery…
We investigate a general parabolic initial-boundary value problem with zero Cauchy data in some anisotropic H\"ormander inner product spaces. We prove that the operators corresponding to this problem are isomorphisms between appropriate…
Let (N,g) be a nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant geometric structure (cf. symplectic, complex, hypercomplex or any of their `almost' versions). We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with g to be minimal,…
In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincar\'e inequalities, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequalities, transportation-information inequalities and transportation-entropy…
We prove the equivalence between the simplicial Orlicz cohomology and the Orlicz-de Rham cohomology in the case of Lie groups. Since the first one is a quasi-isometry invariant for uniformly contractible simplicial complexes with bounded…
We propose global surjectivity theorems of differentiable maps based on second order conditions. Using the homotopy continuation method, we demonstrate that, for a $C^2$ differentiable map from a Hilbert space to a finite-dimensional…
In a recent work [2] with Datta, we introduced the mu vector (with respect to a given field) of simplicial complexes and used it to study tightness and lower bounds. In this paper, we modify the definition of mu vectors. With the new…
By using the ABP method developed by Cabr\'e and Brendle, we establish some Sobolev inequalities for compact domains and submanifolds in a complete Riemannian manifold with lower quadratic curvature decay
Through the main example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, the Bakry-Emery criterion is presented as a main tool to get functional inequalities as Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Moreover an alternative method using the…
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the…
It is well known that isoperimetric inequalities imply in a very general measure-metric-space setting appropriate concentration inequalities. The former bound the boundary measure of sets as a function of their measure, whereas the latter…
This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…
In this paper, we establish Betti number estimates for graphs with non-negative Ollivier curvature, and for graphs with non-negative Bakry-\'Emery curvature, providing a discrete analogue of a classical result by Bochner for manifolds.…
We consider various types of Hardy-Sobolev inequalities on a Carnot-Carath\'eodory space $(\Om, d)$ associated to a system of smooth vector fields $X=\{X_1, X_2,...,X_m\}$ on $\RR^n$ satisfying the H\"ormander's finite rank condition $rank…
Second order Sobolev metrics on the space of regular unparametrized planar curves have several desirable completeness properties not present in lower order metrics, but numerics are still largely missing. In this paper, we present…
This paper considers Lieb-Thirring inequalities for higher order differential operators. A result for general fourth-order operators on the half-line is developed, and the trace inequality tr((-Delta)^2 - C^{HR}_{d,2} / (|x|^4) -…
We develop techniques for classifying the nonnegatively curved left-invariant metrics on a compact Lie group G. We prove rigidity theorems for general G and a partial classification for G=SO(4). Our approach is to reduce the general…
In two seminal papers M. Kontsevich introduced graph homology as a tool to compute the homology of three infinite dimensional Lie algebras, associated to the three operads `commutative,' `associative' and `Lie.' We generalize his theorem to…
We define a reduction covariant for the representations a la Vinberg associated to stably graded Lie algebras. We then give an analogue of the LLL algorithm for the odd split special orthogonal group and show how this can be combined with…
In this paper we investigate the Besov spaces on compact Lie groups in a subelliptic setting, that is, associated with a family of vector fields, satisfying the H\"ormander condition, and their corresponding sub-Laplacian. Embedding…
