We compute L2-invariants of certain nonuniform lattices in semisimple Lie groups by means of the Borel-Serre compactification of arithmetically defined locally symmetric spaces. The main results give new estimates for Novikov-Shubin numbers…
Let $\kappa \in \mathbb{N}_+^\ell$ satisfy $\kappa_1 + \dots + \kappa_\ell = n$ and let $\mathcal{U}_\kappa$ denote the "multislice" of all strings $u$ in $[\ell]^n$ having exactly $\kappa_i$ coordinates equal to $i$, for all $i \in…
Combining the sharp isoperimetric inequality established by Z. Balogh and A. Krist\'aly [Math. Ann., in press, doi:10.1007/s00208-022-02380-1] with an anisotropic symmetrization argument, we establish sharp Morrey-Sobolev inequalities on…
We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley-Stroock…
In this paper we analyze the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution to the generalized, variable diffusivity, fractional Laplace equation on the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. For $\alpha$ the order of the differential…
The well-known Bohr--P\'al theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$ onto itself, such that the Fourier series of…
Let $N\geq 5$, $a>0$, $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $2^\#=\frac{2(N-1)}{N-2}$ and $||u||^2=|\nabla u|_{2}^2+a|u|_{2}^2$. We prove there exists an $\alpha_{0}>0$ such that, for all $u\in…

In this paper we prove a sharp defective log-Sobolev inequality on H-type groups. Then we use such an inequality to show exponential integrability of Lipschitz functions with respect to the heat kernel measure. A defective log-Sobolev-type…
Beckner's inequality is a family of inequalities that interpolates the two fundamental functional inequalities, the logarithmic Sobolev and Poincar\'e's inequalities. It is parametrized by exponent $p\in (1,2]$ and it implies the…
Given a smooth positive function $f$ defined on the unit circle satisfying a simple condition, we obtain a Poincar\'{e}-type inequality for an arbitrary function $u$ whose weighted average with respect to $f$ is zero. The proof uses…
We prove a weighted Sobolev inequality and a Hardy inequality on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature satisfying an inverse doubling volume condition. It enables us to obtain rigidity results for Ricci flat manifolds, generalizing…
We derive the sharp Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequalities on the standard $n$-sphere and CR $(2n+1)$- sphere as the limit of the sharp fractional Sobolev inequalities for all $n\ge 1$. On the $2$-sphere and $4$-sphere, this was established…
In this paper, we study the geodesic flow of a right-invariant metric induced by a general Fourier multiplier on the diffeomorphism group of the circle and on some of its homogeneous spaces. This study covers in particular right-invariant…
In this paper we deal with free functional inequalities on the circle. There are some interesting changes as opposed to the classical case. For example, the free Poincar\'e inequality has a slight change which seems to account for the lack…
A basic version of the P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} inequality states that if $\Phi$ is a Young function, the $\Phi$-Dirichlet energy -- the integral of $\Phi(\|\nabla f\|)$ -- of a suitable function $f\in \mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the class of…
We prove sharp inequalities for determinants of Toeplitz operators and twisted Laplace operators on the two-sphere, generalizing the Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality. In particular a sharp version of conjectures of Gillet-Soule and Fang…
We investigate the validity, as well as the failure, of Sobolev-type inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under suitable bounds on the sectional and the Ricci curvatures. We prove that if the sectional curvatures are bounded from above…
We introduce for any exponent $p>1$ the $p$-curvature functional for rectifiable curves in the two-dimensional sphere. We prove that this functional is finite and agrees with the integral of the geodesic curvature raised to the power $p$ on…
The periodic KdV equation u_t=u_{xxx}+\beta uu_x arises from a Hamiltonian system with infinite-dimensional phase space L^2(T). Bourgain has shown that there exists a Gibbs measure \nu on balls \{\phi :\Vert\Phi\Vert^2_{L^2}\leq N\} in the…
