In this paper we first prove a number of important inequalities with explicit constants in the setting of the Heisenberg group. This includes the fractional and integer Sobolev, Gagliardo-Nirenberg, (weighted) Hardy-Sobolev, Nash…
Given a three dimensional pseudo-Einstein CR manifold $(M,T^{1,0}M,\theta)$, we study the existence of a contact structure conformal to $\theta$ for which the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (LHLS) inequality holds. Our approach…
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…
This is a collection of notes on the properties of left-invariant metrics on the eight-dimensional compact Lie group SU(3). Among other topics we investigate the existence of invariant pseudo-Riemannian Einstein metrics on this manifold. We…
This article studies the canonical Hilbert energy $H^{s/2}(M)$ on a Riemannian manifold for $s\in(0,2)$, with particular focus on the case of closed manifolds. Several equivalent definitions for this energy and the fractional Laplacian on a…
Aim of this short note is to show that a dimension-free Harnack inequality on an infinitesimally Hilbertian metric measure space where the heat semigroup admits an integral representation in terms of a kernel is suffcient to deduce a sharp…
We show that simply connected Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact semisimple Lie groups with polar isotropy actions are symmetric, generalizing results of Fabio Podesta and the third named author. Without assuming compactness, we give…
Let $P_t$ be the diffusion semigroup generated by $L:=\Delta +\nabla V$ on a complete connected Riemannian manifold with $\operatorname {Ric}\ge-(\sigma ^2\rho_o^2+c)$ for some constants $\sigma, c>0$ and $\rho_o$ the Riemannian distance to…
We prove that the logarithmic Sobolev constant for the inhomogeneous symmetric nearest neighbour zero range process on a cube of size N^d grows as N^2. We apply this result to the inhomogeneous process which arises in the study of the…
We investigate a Sobolev map $f$ from a finite dimensional RCD space $(X, \dist_X, \meas_X)$ to a finite dimensional non-collapsed compact RCD space $(Y, \dist_Y, \mathcal{H}^N)$. If the image $f(X)$ is smooth in a weak sense (which is…
The intent of this short note is to extend real valued Lipschitz functions on metric spaces, while locally preserving the asymptotic Lipschitz constant. We then apply this results to give a simple and direct proof of the fact that Sobolev…
We study {\em $\nabla$-Sobolev spaces} and {\em $\nabla$-differential operators} with coefficients in general Hermitian vector bundles on Riemannian manifolds, stressing a coordinate free approach that uses connections (which are typically…
Motivated by a class of nonlinear equations of interest for string theory, we introduce Sobolev spaces on arbitrary locally compact abelian groups and we examine some of their properties. Specifically, we focus on analogs of the Sobolev…
We identify sharp spaces and prove quantitative and non-quantitative stability results for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality involving Wasserstein and $L^p$ metrics. The techniques are based on optimal transport theory and Fourier…
We prove a version of Talagrand's concentration inequality for subordinated sub-Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold using tools from noncommutative geometry. As an application, motivated by quantum information theory, we show that on…
We introduce an extended Sobolev scale on a smooth compact manifold with boundary. The scale is formed by inner-product H\"ormander spaces for which an RO-varying radial function serves as a regularity index. These spaces do not depend on a…
Chekanov showed that the Hofer norm on the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold induces a nondegenerate metric on the orbit of any compact Lagrangian submanifold under the group. In this paper we…
We give a new formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on normal homogeneous spaces in terms of Casimir operators. We derive some practical estimates and apply them to the known list of non-symmetric, compact, simply connected homogeneous…
In sub-Riemannian geometry there exist, in general, no known explicit representations of the heat kernels, and these functions fail to have any symmetry whatsoever. In particular, they are not a function of the control distance, nor they…
We study in this article the Improved Sobolev inequalities with Muckenhoupt weights within the framework of stratified Lie groups. This family of inequalities estimate the Lq norm of a function by the geometric mean of two norms…
