We prove an invariance principle for the bridge of a random walk conditioned to stay positive, when the random walk is in the domain of attraction of a stable law, both in the discrete and in the absolutely continuous setting. This includes…

It is possible that fundamental constants may not be constant at all. There is a generally accepted view that one can only talk about variations of dimensionless quantities, such as the fine structure constant $\alpha_{\rm e}\equiv…

In an attempt to progress towards proving the conjecture the numerical range W (A) is a 2--spectral set for the matrix A, we propose a study of various constants. We review some partial results, many problems are still open. We describe our…

We make it precise what it means to have a connection with torsion as solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard…

A fundamental inequality for Hilbert spaces is the $\ell_1-\ell_2$-norm inequality which gives that for any $x \in H^n$, $\|x\|_1\le \sqrt{n}\|x\|_2.$ But this is a strict inequality for all but vectors with constant modulus for their…

We prove an optimal Hardy inequality for the fractional Laplacian on the half-space.

Aim of this short note is to study Shannon's entropy power along entropic interpolations, thus generalizing Costa's concavity theorem. We shall provide two proofs of independent interest: the former by $\Gamma$-calculus, hence applicable to…

In this short note, we give the refined Young inequality with Specht's ratio by only elementary and direct calculations. The obtained inequality is better than one previously shown by the author in 2012. In addition, we give a new property…

In this note, we prove strong convergence of $q$-Gaussians with respect to a parameter $q$, which implies the spectrum of any self-adjoint non-commutative polynomial in $q$-Gaussians is continuously deformed with respect to $q$. With…

Simple natural proofs of all known results regarding the aerodynamic Newton problem are obtained. Additional new theorems and new promising formulas in terms of Hessian measures are found. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Gerd…

Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) Inequality fails in the "critical" case: \mu=n. However, for discrete HLS, we can derive a finite form of HLS inequality with logarithm correction for a critical case: \mu=n and p=q, by limiting the inequality…

In this paper, we present recent stability results with explicit and dimensionally sharp constants and optimal norms for the Sobolev inequality and for the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality obtained by the authors in [24]. The…

We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant…

We prove a sharp integral inequality valid for non-negative functions defined on $[0,1]$, with given $L^1$ norm. This is in fact a generalization of the well known integral Hardy inequality. We prove it as a consequence of the respective…

We prove various extensions of the Loomis-Whitney inequality and its dual, where the subspaces on which the projections (or sections) are considered are either spanned by vectors $w_i$ of a not necessarily orthonormal basis of…

The basic equations describing a Newtonian universe with uniform pressure are reexamined. We argue that in the semi-classical formulation adopted in the literature the continuity equation has a misleading pressure gradient term. When this…

For almost a century, the cosmological constant has been a mysterious object, in relation to both its origin and its very small value. By using a Bose-Einstein condensate analogue model for gravitational dynamics, we address here the…

We prove that a suitably adjusted version of Peter Jones' formula for interpolation by bounded holomorphic functions gives a sharp upper bound for what is known as the constant of interpolation. We show how this leads to precise and…

We prove an abstract Nyquist criterion in a general set up. As applications, we recover various versions of the Nyquist criterion, some of which are new.

In this paper we study some improvements of the classical Hardy inequality. We add to the right hand side of the inequality a term which depends on some Lorentz norms of $u$ or of its gradient and we find the best values of the constants…
