First the Hardy and Rellich inequalities are defined for the submarkovian operator associated with a local Dirichlet form. Secondly, two general conditions are derived which are sufficient to deduce the Rellich inequality from the Hardy…

We prove a sharp $L^p$ weighted Hardy inequality involving boundary distance $\delta$ for any domain $\Omega\subsetneq \mathbb R^n$. The inequality may be improved substantially under the additional assumption that $-\log \delta$ is…

In the present paper we shall establish n-dimensional Hardy's inequalities with non-doubling weight functions of the distance to the boundary, where the boundary is a $C^2$ class bounded domain of $R^N$. This work is essentially based on…

We review the literature concerning the Hardy inequality for regions in Euclidean space and in manifolds, concentrating on the best constants. We also give applications of these inequalities to boundary decay and spectral approximation.

We show that twisting of an infinite straight three-dimensional tube with non-circular cross-section gives rise to a Hardy-type inequality for the associated Dirichlet Laplacian. As an application we prove certain stability of the spectrum…

We develop a general framework for using duality to "transfer" stability results for a functional inequality to its dual inequality. As an application, we prove a stability bound for the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, which is related…

We show that a twist of a three-dimensional tube of uniform cross-section yields an improved decay rate for the heat semigroup associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian in the tube. The proof employs Hardy inequalities for the Dirichlet…

We present a review of results that have been obtained in the past twenty-five years concerning the $L^p$-Hardy inequality with distance to the boundary. We concentrate on results where the best Hardy constant is either computed exactly or…

This paper concerns the concentration of Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly geodesically concave boundary. We link three inequalities which bound the concentration in…

In the present paper we shall improve one dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities with one-sided boundary condition by adding sharp remainders. As an application, we shall establish n dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities in a bounded…

The torsion function of a convex planar domain has convex level sets, but explicit formulae are known only for rectangles and ellipses. Here we study the torsion function on convex planar domains of high eccentricity. We obtain an…

We obtain a trace Hardy inequality for the Euclidean space with a bounded cut $\Sigma\subset\mathbb R^d$, $d \ge 2$. In this novel geometric setting, the Hardy-type inequality non-typically holds also for $d = 2$. The respective Hardy…

We establish fractional Hardy inequality on bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with inverse of distance function from smooth boundary of codimension $k$, where $k=2, \dots,d$, as weight function. The case $sp=k$ is the critical case, where…

Let $D$ be a non-empty open subset of $\R^m,\,m\ge 2$, with boundary $\partial D$, with finite Lebesgue measure $|D|$, and which satisfies a parabolic Harnack principle. Let $K$ be a compact, non-polar subset of $D$. We obtain the leading…

We calculate the regional fractional Laplacian on some power function on an interval. As an application, we prove Hardy inequality with an extra term for the fractional Laplacian on the interval with the optimal constant. As a result, we…

Could the location of the maximum point for a positive solution of a semilinear Poisson equation on a convex domain be independent of the form of the nonlinearity? Cima and Derrick found certain evidence for this surprising conjecture. We…

We study the Laplace operator on domains subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We show that these operators admit a bounded $H^{\infty}$-functional calculus on weighted Sobolev spaces, where the weights are powers of the…

We consider the torsional rigidity and the principal eigenvalue related to the $p$-Laplace operator. The goal is to find upper and lower bounds to products of suitable powers of the quantities above in various classes of domains. The limit…

Let M be an N-function satisfying the $\Delta_2$- condition, let $\omega, \vp$ be two other functions, $\omega\ge 0$. We study Hardy-type inequalities \[ \int_{\rp} M(\omega (x)|u(x)|) {\rm exp}(-\vp (x))dx \le C\int_{\rp} M(|u'(x)|) {\rm…

We construct supersymmetric gauge theories on some curved manifolds with boundaries. Our examples include a part of three-sphere and a part of two-sphere. We concentrate on Dirichlet boundary conditions. For these theories on the manifolds…
