The expansion of Kummer's hypergeometric function as a series of incomplete Gamma functions is discussed, for real values of the parameters and of the variable. The error performed approximating the Kummer function with a finite sum of…

We give a new characterization of a continuous embedding between two function spaces of type $G\Gamma$. Such spaces are governed by functionals of type \begin{equation*} \|f\|_{G\Gamma(r,q;w,\delta)} := \left(\int_{0}^{L} \left(…

We study the asymptotics of certain measures on partitions (the so-called z-measures and their relatives) in two different regimes: near the diagonal of the corresponding Young diagram and in the intermediate zone between the diagonal and…

We first prove that all the functions in L 2 whose directional derivative is in L 2 have a directional trace on the boundary of any open bounded domain, without assumptions on its regularity. This enables us to define the omnidirectional…

For $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $0 < \alpha_i,\beta_j,\lambda_{ij} \leq 1$ be such that $\sum_{j=1}^n \lambda_{ij} = \alpha_i$, $\sum_{i=1}^m \lambda_{ij} = \beta_j$, and $\sum_{i=1}^m \alpha_i = \sum_{j=1}^n \beta_j \leq 1$. We prove that the…

Let G:=SO(n,1)^\circ and \Gamma be a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup with critical exponent delta bigger than (n-1)/2. Under a spectral gap hypothesis on L^2(\Gamma \ G), which is always satisfied for delta>(n-1)/2 for n=2,3 and…

We study the beta functions for four-dimensional conformal gravity using two different parametrizations of metric fluctuation, linear split and exponential parametrization. We find that after imposing the traceless conditions, the beta…

We investigate the asymptotic behavior as $\varepsilon \to 0$ of singularly perturbed phase transition models of order $n \geq 2$, given by \begin{align} G_\varepsilon^{\lambda,n}[u] := \int_I \frac 1\varepsilon W(u)…

We describe the asymptotic behaviour of the minimal heterogeneous $d$-capacity of a small set, which we assume to be a ball for simplicity, in a fixed bounded open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, with $d\geq2$. Two parameters are…

A Schwarz function on an open domain $\Omega$ is a holomorphic function satisfying $S(\zeta)=\overline{\zeta}$ on $\Gamma$, which is part of the boundary of $\Omega$. Sakai in 1991 gave a complete characterization of the boundary of a…

The present paper is devoted to a theory of profile decomposition for bounded sequences in \emph{homogeneous} Sobolev spaces, and it enables us to analyze the lack of compactness of bounded sequences. For every bounded sequence in…

In this paper, we investigate the minimization problem : $$ \inf_{ \displaystyle{\begin{array}{lll} u \in H_0^1(\Omega), v \in H_0^1(\Omega),\\ \quad \| u \|_{L^{q}} =1, \quad \| v \|_{L^{q}} = 1 \end{array}}} \left[ \frac{1}{2}…

The structure of the $\omega$-limit sets is thoroughly investigated for the skew-product semiflow which is generated by a scalar reaction-diffusion equation \begin{equation*} u_{t}=u_{xx}+f(t,u,u_{x}),\,\,t>0,\,x\in S^{1}=\mathbb{R}/2\pi…

We initiate a study of the spectral theory of the locally symmetric space $X=\Gamma\backslash G/K$, where $G=SO(3,Complex)$, $\Gamma=SO(3,Z[i])$, $K=SO{3}$. We write down explicit equations defining a fundamental domain for the action of…

Given a family of locally Lipschitz vector fields $X(x)=(X_1(x),\dots,X_m(x))$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, $m\leq n$, we study functionals depending on $X$. We prove an integral representation for local functionals with respect to $X$ and a result…

We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of product ratios of gamma and q-gamma functions whose arguments are linear functions of the variable. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of nonnegativity of…

We study the beta functions for the dimensionless couplings in quadratic curvature gravity, and find that there is a simple argument to restrict the possible form of the beta functions as derived from the counterterms at an arbitrary loop.…

This paper studies the inclusions between different Sobolev-Lorentz spaces $W^{1,(p,q)}(\Omega)$ defined on open sets $\Omega \subset {\mathbf{R}^n},$ where $n \ge 1$ is an integer, $1<p<\infty$ and $1 \le q \le \infty.$ We prove that if $1…

We study the Sobolev spaces $H^\sigma(K)$ and $H^\sigma_0(K)$ on p.c.f. self-similar sets in terms of the boundary behavior of functions. First, for $\sigma\in \mathbb{R}^+$, we make an exact description of the tangents of functions in…
