Given a bounded $C^2$ domain $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with $d\geq3$, we prove a sharp inequality which relates the perimeter of ${\partial\Omega}$ to the endpoint Gagliardo seminorm in $W^{r,2}({\partial\Omega})$, corresponding to…

For any convex set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R} ^N$, we provide a lower bound for the inverse of the Poincar\'e constant in $W ^ {1, 1}(\Omega)$: it refines an inequality in terms of the diameter due to Acosta-Duran, via the addition of an…

Consider the mean field equation with critical parameter $8\pi$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$. Denote by $E_{8\pi}(\Omega)$ the infimum of the associated functional $I_{8\pi}(\Omega)$. We call $E_{8\pi}(\Omega)$ the "energy" of the…

We assume that $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, $d \geq 2$, is a uniform domain with lower $d$-Ahlfors-David regular and $d$-rectifiable boundary. We show that if $\mathcal{H}^d|_{\partial \Omega}$ is locally finite, then the Hausdorff…

We prove that, if $\Omega$ is an open bounded domain with smooth and connected boundary, for every $p \in (1, + \infty)$ the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the normalized $p$-Laplacian is simple in the sense that two positive eigenfunctions…

For a smooth curve $\gamma$, we define its elastic energy as $E(\gamma)= \frac 12 \int_{\gamma} k^2 (s) ds$ where $k(s)$ is the curvature. The main purpose of the paper is to prove that among all smooth, simply connected, bounded open sets…
