We obtain a sharp characterization of the Euclidean ball among all convex bodies K whose boundary has a pointwise k-th mean curvature not smaller than a geometric constant at almost all normal points. This geometric constant depends only on…

We prove the existence of the O-U Dirichlet form and the damped O-U Dirichlet form on path space over a general non-compact Riemannian manifold which is complete and stochastically complete. We show a weighted log-Sobolev inequality for the…

We study estimates involving the principal Dirichlet eigenvalue associated to a smoothly bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifold and L1-norms of exit time moments of Brownian motion. Our results generalize a classical inequality of…

We give lower bounds for the first Dirichilet eigenvalues for domains in submanifolds with locally bounded mean curvatures. These bounds depend on the injectivity radius, sectional curvature (upperbound) of the ambient space and on the mean…

For a Riemannian closed spin manifold and under some topological assumption (non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or enlargeability in the sense of Gromov-Lawson), we give an optimal upper bound for the infimum of the scalar curvature in terms of the…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed, embedded, oriented hypersurface in a closed oriented Riemannian manifold $N$. Under a lower bound on the Ricci curvature and an upper bound on the sectional curvature of $N$, we establish a lower bound for the…

In this paper, we prove new pinching theorems for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on compact hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space. These pinching results are associated with the upper bound for the first eigenvalue in terms of higher…

Let $M^n$ be an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$. Assume that Ricci curvature is bounded from below by $(n-1)k$, for $k\in \RR$, we give a sharp estimate of the upper bound of $\rho(x)=\dis(x, \partial M)$, in…

On compact Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and smooth (possibly empty), convex (or mean convex) boundary, if the sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimate of an Neumann (or Dirichlet) eigenfunction holds at some…

In this paper, we define a new capacity which allows us to control the behaviour of the Dirichlet spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, with "small" subsets (which may intersect the boundary) removed. This result…

We obtain inequalities for all Laplace eigenvalues of Riemannian manifolds with an upper sectional curvature bound, whose rudiment version for the first Laplace eigenvalue was discovered by Berger in 1979. We show that our inequalities…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

We prove a quantitative uncertainty principle at low energies for the Laplacian on fairly general weighted graphs with a uniform explicit control of the constants in terms of geometric quantities. A major step consists in establishing lower…

We discuss optimal lower bounds for eigenvalues of Laplacians on weighted graphs. These bounds are formulated in terms of the geometry and, more specifically, the inradius of subsets of the graph. In particular, we study the first non-zero…

An integral inequality for the singular p-laplacian is established for 3/2<p<2. As consequence, lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the p-laplacian are obtained for minimal submanifolds and prescribed scalar curvature submanifolds in…
