In this paper, using the method of blow-up analysis, we obtained a Trudinger-Moser inequality involving L p -norm on a closed Riemann surface and proved the existence of an extremal function for the corresponding Trudinger-Moser functional.…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety over a complete discretely valued field and $L$ a line bundle on $X$. We denote by $X^\textrm{an}$ the analytification of $X$ in the sense of Berkovich and equip the analytification $L^\textrm{an}$ of…

Let $E$ be a closed set on the unit circle. We find a Blaschke-type condition, optimal in a sense of the order, on the Riesz measure of a subharmonic function $v$ in the unit disk with a certain growth at the direction of $E$. In particular…

Motivated by Schoen's conjecture on the volume functional for closed hyperbolic manifolds, we generalize the volume comparison theorem of Hu, Ji, and Shi and establish a volume comparison theorem for rank 1 symmetric spaces of non-compact…

This article deals with kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with essentially bounded coefficients. A weak Harnack inequality for non-negative super-solutions is derived by considering their Log-transform and following S. N. Kruzhkov (1963).…

We study the flexibility of the pressure function of a continuous potential (observable) with respect to a parameter regarded as the inverse temperature. The points of non-differentiability of this function are of particular interest in…

We prove a sharp quantitative form of the classical isocapacitary inequality. Namely, we show that the difference between the capacity of a set and that of a ball with the same volume bounds the square of the Fraenkel asymmetry of the set.…

We prove an intrinsic equivalence between strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the cone of logarithmically subharmonic functions. We introduce a new large class of measures, Euclidean regular and…

If $u : \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d \to {\rm X}$ is a harmonic map valued in a metric space ${\rm X}$ and ${\sf E} : {\rm X} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, in the sense that it generates an ${\rm EVI}_0$-gradient flow, we prove that…

We prove a functional extension of an exponential inequality originally proposed by Bin Zhao and proved by Xiaosheng Mou. The main result asserts that if $\alpha_1\leq \cdots\leq \alpha_n$ and $\sum_{k=1}^n \alpha_k=0$, then \[ \sum_{k=1}^n…

We introduce the positive intersection product in Arakelov geometry and prove that the arithmetic volume function is continuously differentiable. As applications, we compute the distribution function of the asymptotic measure of a Hermitian…

The possibility of stating the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the increasing behaviour of a physical property establishes a connection between that branch of physics and the theory of algebraic inequalities. We use this connection…

We prove a sharp quantitative version for the stability of the Sobolev inequality with explicit constants. Moreover, the constants have the correct behavior in the limit of large dimensions, which allows us to deduce an optimal quantitative…

H\"older-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities provide upper bounds for a class of multilinear expressions, in terms of $L^p$ norms of the functions involved. They have been extensively studied for functions defined on Euclidean spaces.…

We establish a unconditional and optimal strong convergence rate of Wong--Zakai type approximations in Banach space norm for a parabolic stochastic partial differential equation with monotone drift, including the stochastic Allen--Cahn…

We prove a new vectorial functional inequality of Poincar\'{e}-Beckner type. The inequality may be interpreted as an entropy-entropy production one for a gradient flow in the metric space of Radon measures. The proof uses subtle analysis of…

We prove sharp bounds on eigenvalues of the Laplacian that complement the Faber--Krahn and Luttinger inequalities. In particular, we prove that the ball maximizes the first eigenvalue and minimizes the spectral zeta function and heat trace.…

In this paper, we study new extensions of the functional Blaschke-Santalo inequalities, and explore applications of such new inequalities beyond the classical setting of the standard Gaussian measure.

Motivated by a problem in climate dynamics, we investigate the solution of a Bessel-like process with negative constant drift, described by a Fokker-Planck equation with a potential V(x) = - [b \ln(x) + a\, x], for b>0 and a<0. The problem…

For a class of symplectic manifolds, we introduce a functional which assigns a real number to any pair of continuous functions on the manifold. This functional has a number of interesting properties. On the one hand, it is Lipschitz with…
