We prove the following stability version of the edge isoperimetric inequality for the cube: any subset of the cube with average boundary degree within $K$ of the minimum possible is $\varepsilon $-close to a union of $L$ disjoint cubes,…

Our basic result, an isoperimetric inequality for Hamming cube $Q_n$, can be written: \[ \int h_A^\beta d\mu \ge 2 \mu(A)(1-\mu(A)). \] Here $\mu$ is uniform measure on $V=\{0,1\}^n$ ($=V(Q_n)$); $\beta=\log_2(3/2)$; and, for $S\subseteq V$…

We study the existence of cubic quotients of finite-dimensional quasi-normed spaces, that is, quotients well isomorphic to $\ell_{\infty}^k$ for some $k.$ We give two results of this nature. The first guarantees a proportional dimensional…

We study isoperimetric inequalities on "slabs", namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension-one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case…

An isoperimetric inequality on the Hamming cube for exponents $\beta\ge 0.50057$ is proved, achieving equality on any subcube. This was previously known for $\beta\ge \log_2(3/2)\approx 0.585$. Improved bounds are also obtained at the…

The `full' edge isoperimetric inequality for the discrete cube (due to Harper, Bernstein, Lindsay and Hart) specifies the minimum size of the edge boundary $\partial A$ of a set $A \subset \{0,1\}^n$, as a function of $|A|$. A weaker (but…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu, T)$ be a measure preserving system. We prove the pointwise convergence of averages along cubes of $2^{k}-1$ bounded and measurable functions for all $k$.

In this paper we study the following quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane: $\lambda_0^2(\Omega) \leq C \delta(\Omega)$ where $\delta$ is the isoperimetric deficit and $\lambda_0$ is the barycentric asymmetry. Our aim is to…

In this note we prove the existence of a set $E_0\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, different from a ball, which minimizes, among the convex sets that satisfy a suitable interior cone condition, the ratio \begin{equation} \label{eq:0}…

We prove that for any proper metric space $X$ and a function $\psi:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$ from a suitable class of approximation functions, the Hausdorff dimensions of the set $W_\psi(Q)$ of all points $\psi$-well-approximable by a…

In a recent paper, C. Gambicchia and A. Pratelli proved a quantitative isoperimetric inequality involving the isoperimetric deficit $\delta(K)$ and the barycentric distance $\lambda_0(K)$ for sets $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with given diameter…

In this article, we solve the relative isoperimetric problem in $[0,1]^3$ for orthogonal polyhedra. Up to isometries of the cube or sets of measure $0$, the minimizers are of the form $[0,\epsilon]^3$, $[0,\epsilon]^2 \times [0,1]$, or…

In a recent paper A. Cianchi, N. Fusco, F. Maggi, and A. Pratelli have shown that, in the Gauss space, a set of given measure and almost minimal Gauss boundary measure is necessarily close to be a half-space. Using only geometric tools, we…

We consider both divergence and non-divergence parabolic equations on a half space in weighted Sobolev spaces. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time and one spatial variable except one coefficient, which…

We derive an optimal bound on the sum of entropic uncertainties of two or more observables when they are sequentially measured on the same ensemble of systems. This optimal bound is shown to be greater than or equal to the bounds derived in…

On the upper hemisphere, we use the Obata-Escobar argument to classify conformal metrics with constant $\sigma_k$ curvature and constant boundary mean curvature in all types of cones including positive and negative cones. This extends a…

We analyze the hit-and-run algorithm for sampling uniformly from an isotropic convex body $K$ in $n$ dimensions. We show that the algorithm mixes in time $\tilde{O}(n^2/ \psi_n^2)$, where $\psi_n$ is the smallest isoperimetric constant for…

Let $\Omega$ be an open half-space or slab in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ endowed with a perturbation of the Gaussian measure of the form $f(p):=\exp(\omega(p)-c|p|^2)$, where $c>0$ and $\omega$ is a smooth concave function depending only on the…

In this paper we investigate the reverse isoperimetric inequality with respect to the Gaussian measure for convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. While the isoperimetric problem for the Gaussian measure is well understood, many relevant aspects…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi$ is a non-decreasing convex…
