We consider the zeta function $\zeta_\Omega$ for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of a simply connected planar domain $\Omega$ bounded by a smooth closed curve of perimeter $2\pi$. We prove that $\zeta_\Omega''(0)\ge…
Let the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ be endowed with a Minkowski structure $M$ (that is $M\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to [0,+\infty)$ is the gauge function of a compact convex set having the origin as an interior point, and with boundary of class $C^2$),…
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…
We study the following question: Given an open set $\Omega$, symmetric about 0, and a continuous, integrable, positive definite function $f$, supported in $\Omega$ and with $f(0)=1$, how large can $\int f$ be? This problem has been studied…
For an arbitrary function f:\Omega \rightarrow C (where \Omega is a subset of the field C) and a positive integer k let f act on all diagonalizable complex matrices whose all eigenvalues lie in Omega in the following way: f[P…
For a non-empty compact set $E$ in a proper subdomain $\Omega$ of the complex plane, we denote the diameter of $E$ and the distance from $E$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ by $d(E)$ and $d(E,\partial\Omega),$ respectively. The quantity…
Let B be the open unit ball in C^2 and let a, b, c be three points in C^2 which do not lie in a complex line, such that the complex line through a and b meets B and such that <a|b> is different from 1 if one of the points a, b is in B and…
We consider a generalization of the Cheeger problem in a bounded, open set $\Omega$ by replacing the perimeter functional with a Finsler-type surface energy and the volume with suitable powers of a weighted volume. We show that any…
It is shown that if the squeezing function tends to one at an h-extendible boundary point of a $\mathcal C^\infty$-smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain, then the point is strictly pseudoconvex.
In this paper we extend the dichotomy given by Samuelsson and Wold that can be thought of as an analogue of the Wermer maximality theorem in $\mathbb{C}^2$ for certain polynomial polyhedra. We consider complex non-degenerate simply…
We show that for every connected analytic subvariety $V$ there is a pseudoconvex set $\Omega$ such that every bounded matrix-valued holomorphic function on $V$ extends isometrically to $\Omega$. We prove that if $V$ is two analytic disks…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}$ such that $\partial \Omega$ does not contain isolated points. Let $R(\Omega)$ be the space of uniform limits on $\overline{\Omega}$ of rational functions with poles off $\overline{\Omega}$,…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with hyperbolic metric $\lambda_\Omega(z)|dz|$ of Gaussian curvature $-4.$ Mejia and Minda proved in their 1990 paper that $\Omega$ is (Euclidean) convex if and only if…
We prove that, if $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open bounded starshaped domain of class $C^2$, the constancy over $\partial \Omega$ of the function $$\varphi(y) = \int_0^{\lambda(y)} \prod_{j=1}^{n-1}[1-t \kappa_j(y)]\, dt$$ implies…
We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions on the function $\Phi$ for the inequality $$\Big|\int_\Omega \Phi(K*f)\Big|\lesssim \|f\|_{L_1(\mathbb{R}^d)}^p$$ to be true. Here $K$ is a positively homogeneous of order $\alpha - d$, possibly…
Let Y be an infinite covering space of a projective manifold M in P^N of dimension n geq 2. Let C be the intersection with M of at most n-1 generic hypersurfaces of degree d in P^N. The preimage X of C in Y is a connected submanifold. Let…
We prove an inequality with applications to solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation. There is a universal constant $c>0$, such that if $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is simply connected, $u:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ vanishes on the…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 1$, be an open and connected set. Set $\mathcal{T}_n$ to be the set of points $\xi \in \partial \Omega$ so that there exists an approximate tangent $n$-plane for $\partial\Omega$ at $\xi$ and…
We consider the diffusion equation in the setting of operator theory. In particular, we study the characterization of the limit of the diffusion operator for diffusivities approaching zero on a subdomain $\Omega_1$ of the domain of…
