We consider generalized Bochner-Riesz operators associated with planar convex domains. We construct domains which yield improved $L^p$ bounds for the Bochner-Riesz over previous results of Seeger-Ziesler and Cladek. The constructions are…
In this paper, we establish a class of generalized Poincar\'{e}-type inequalities for torsional rigidity on the boundary of a convex body of class $C^{2}_{+}$ in $\rnnn$ by using the concavity of related Brunn-Minkowski inequality.
Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…
The Riesz-Sobolev inequality provides an upper bound, in integral form, for the convolution of indicator functions of subsets of Euclidean space. We formulate and prove a sharper form of the inequality. This can be equivalently phrased as a…
We establish new sharp inequalities of Poincar\'{e} or log-Sobolev type, on geodesically-convex weighted Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathfrak{g},\mu)$ whose (generalized) Ricci curvature $Ric_{\mathfrak{g},\mu,N}$ with effective dimension…
Motivated by the moduli theory of taut contact circles on spherical 3-manifolds, we relate taut contact circles to transversely holomorphic flows. We give an elementary survey of such 1-dimensional foliations from a topological viewpoint.…
A "Bochner-type" integral for vector lattice-valued functions with respect to (possibly infinite) vector lattice-valued measures is presented with respect to abstract convergences, satisfying suitable axioms, and some fundamental properties…
We develop a theory of Brownian motion of a massive particle, including the effects of inertia (Kramers' problem), in spaces with curvature and torsion. This is done by invoking the recently discovered generalized equivalence principle,…
I discuss certain applications of the Ricci flow in physics. I first review how it arises in the renormalization group (RG) flow of a nonlinear sigma model. I then review the concept of a Ricci soliton and recall how a soliton was used to…
We prove that the convergence of the real and imaginary parts of the logarithm of the characteristic polynomial of unitary Brownian motion toward Gaussian free fields on the cylinder, as the matrix dimension goes to infinity, holds in…
We discuss a generalisation of the Snyder model that includes all the possible deformations of the Heisenberg algebra compatible with Lorentz invariance, in terms of realisations of the noncommutative geometry. The corresponding deformed…
We investigate the relation between the symmetries of a Schr\"odinger operator and the related topological quantum numbers. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the symmetry algebra, a generalization of the Bloch-Floquet transform…
This paper is devoted to one-dimensional interpolation Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities. We study how various notions of duality, transport and monotonicity of functionals along flows defined by some nonlinear diffusion equations…
In this paper, we prove trace-type Poincar\'e and Sobolev inequalities for the space of functions of bounded $\mathbb{A}$-Variation
Let ${\bf M}$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metrics $g=g(t)$ evolve by the Ricci flow. We prove the following result. The Sobolev imbedding by Aubin or Hebey, perturbed by a scalar curvature term and modulo sharpness of…
Poincar{\'e} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on…
A Palatini-type action for Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet gravity with non-trivial torsion is proposed. Three-form flux is incorporated via a deformation of the Riemann tensor, and consistency of the Palatini variational principle requires the…
We present a way of defining the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on general Hilbert spaces using a pair of operators for which each one's adjoint is formally the negative of the other. In particular, we define an abstract analogue of trace…
We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow---that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow---both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate…
It is shown that the new formula for the field theory Poisson brackets arise naturally in the extension of the formal variational calculus incorporating divergences. The linear spaces of local functionals, evolutionary vector fields,…
