In this work, we aim to study a strong version of Ito's lemma for convex function. By considering the corresponding sub-martingale on a Brownian motion, we gain more insights about the convex function through a probabilistic viewpoint. The…

In this paper, we give a new proof of a celebrated theorem of J\"orgens which states that every classical convex solution of \[ \det\nabla^2 u (x)=1\quad {in} \mathbb{R}^2 \] has to be a second order polynomial. Our arguments do not use…

Abstract. In this paper we prove several rigidity theorems related to and including Lytchak's problem. The focus is on Alexandrov spaces with \curv\geq1, nonempty boundary, and maximal radius \frac{\pi}{2}. We exhibit many such spaces that…

We prove a global version of the classical result that $p$-harmonic functions belong to $W^{2,2}_{loc}$ for $1<p<3+\frac{2}{n-2}$. The proof relies on Cordes' matrix inequalities [7] and techniques from the work of Cianchi and Maz'ya [5,6].
