Let $\phi$ be a spherical Hecke-Maass cusp form on the non-compact space $\mathrm{PGL}_3(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PGL}_3(\mathbb{R})$. We establish various pointwise upper bounds for $\phi$ in terms of its Laplace eigenvalue…

We prove that a local, weak Sobolev inequality implies a global Sobolev estimate using existence and regularity results for a family of $p$-Laplacian equations. Given $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, let $\rho$ be a quasi-metric on $\Omega$,…

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is of type 1 if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…

Infinite sets of inequalities which generalize all the known inequalities that can be used in the majorization step of the Approximating Hamiltonian method are derived. They provide upper bounds on the difference between the quadratic…

This survey paper is based on a talk given at the 44th Summer Symposium in Real Analysis in Paris. This line of research was initiated by a question of Haight and Weizs\"aker concerning almost everywhere convergence properties of series of…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi$ is a non-decreasing convex…

For a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ and $p \geq q \geq 2$, we establish quantified versions of the classical Friedrichs inequality $\|\nabla u\|_p^p - \lambda_1 \|u\|_q^p \geq 0$, $u \in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega)$, where $\lambda_1$ is a…

We consider a random variable $X$ that takes values in a (possibly infinite-dimensional) topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$. We show that, with respect to an appropriate "normal distance" on $\mathcal{X}$, concentration inequalities for…

We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…

We will show in this paper that if $\lambda$ is very close to 1, then $$I(M,\lambda,m)= \sup_{u\in H^{1,n}_0(M) ,\int_M|\nabla u|^ndV=1}\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n |u|^\frac{n}{n-1}}-\lambda\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\frac{|\alpha_nu^\frac{n}{n-1}|^k}…

First and second-order inequalities of Friedrichs type for Sobolev functions in arbitrary domains are offered. The relevant inequalities involve optimal norms and constants that are independent of the geometry of the domain. Parallel…

We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

We establish a universal framework for concentration inequalities based on invariance under diffeomorphism groups. Given a probability measure $\mu$ on a space $E$ and a diffeomorphism $\psi: E \to F$, concentration properties transfer…

In this paper we prove a Lyapunov type inequality for quasilinear problems with indefinite weights. We show that the first eigenvalue is bounded below in terms of the integral of the weight, instead of the integral of its positive part. We…

In this note we consider inequalities involving the error function $\phi$. Our methodes give new proofs of some known inequalities of Komatsu, and of Szarek and Werner, and also produce two families of inequalities that give upper and lower…

In this paper we calculate the norm of the generalized maximal operator $M_{\phi,\Lambda^{\alpha}(b)}$, defined with $0 < \alpha < \infty$ and functions $b,\,\phi: (0,\infty) \rightarrow (0,\infty)$ for all measurable functions $f$ on…

Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…

In this paper, we discuss the more general Hessian inequality $\sigma_{k}^{\frac{1}{k}}(\lambda (D_i (A\left(|Du|\right) D_j u)))\geq f(u)$ including the Laplacian, p-Laplacian, mean curvature, Hessian, k-mean curvature operators, and…

We give the full solution of the following problem: obtain sharp inequalities between the moduli of smoothness $\omega_\alpha(f,t)_q$ and $\omega_\beta(f,t)_p$ for $0<p<q\le \infty$. A similar problem for the generalized $K$-functionals and…

In this paper, we generalize and improve some fundamental concentration inequalities using information on the random variables' higher moments. In particular, we improve the classical Hoeffding's and Bennett's inequalities for the case…
