The classical Michael-Simon and Allard inequality is a Sobolev inequality for functions defined on a submanifold of Euclidean space. It is governed by a universal constant independent of the manifold, but displays on the right-hand side an…
We consider the second best constant in the Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested with the existence of extremal functions for this inequality. This problem was tackled by Djadli-Druet [5] for…
An affine rearrangement inequality is established which strengthens and implies the recently obtained affine P\'olya--Szeg\"o symmetrization principle for functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Several applications of this new inequality are derived.…
In this article, we prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for Perelman's reduced volume. We show that on a Ricci flow, if Perelman's reduced volume is close to $1$, then the curvature radius at the base point cannot be too small.
Korn's inequality has been at the heart of much exciting research since its first appearance in the beginning of the 20th century. Many are the applications of this inequality to the analysis and construction of discretizations of a large…
Gromov proved a cube inequality on the bound of distances between opposite faces of a cube equipped with a positive scalar curvature metric in dimension $\leq 8$ using minimal surface method. He conjectured that the cube inequality also…

We study fine P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} rearrangement inequalities into weighted intervals for Sobolev functions and functions of bounded variation defined on metric measure spaces supporting an isoperimetric inequality. We then specialize this…
The paper establishes a new family of sharp analytic inequalities. Together with the fractional Sobolev inequalities of Almgren and Lieb, they form a complete class of analytic inequalities, referred to as the chord Sobolev inequalities. A…
In this survey, we consider the sharp Sobolev inequality in convex cones. We also prove it by using the optimal transport technique. Then we present some results related to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Sobolev inequality: the…
Given a smooth, complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with bounded Ricci curvature and positive injectivity radius, we derive a sharp Sobolev inequality for the embedding of $W^{1,p}(M)$ into $L^{\frac{np}{n-p}}(M)$, when $1\le p< n$. We will…
In this note we prove a new \epsilon-regularity theorem for the Ricci flow. Let (M^n,g(t)) with t\in [-T,0] be a Ricci flow and H_{x} the conjugate heat kernel centered at a point (x,0) in the final time slice. Substituting H_{x} into…
In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…
In this article, functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) are established, which are equivalent to pinched Ricci curvature, along with gradient estimates, $L^p$-inequalities and…
The Sobolev regularity of invariant measures for diffusion processes is proved on non-smooth metric measure spaces with synthetic lower Ricci curvature bounds. As an application, the symmetrizability of semigroups is characterized, and the…
It is well known that the Euclidean Sobolev inequality holds on any Cartan-Hadamard manifold of dimension $ n\ge 3 $, i.e. any complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. As a byproduct of the…
