In this paper we provide a different approach to the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula, reducing the problem to test the monotone increasing behavior of the mean value of a function involving the norm of the gradient. In…
In this paper we provide a counterexample about the existence of an increasing monotonicity behavior of a function introduced in \cite{FeFo}, companion of the celebrated Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula, in the noncommutative…
In this paper we revisit the proof of the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula. Then, in the framework of the Heisenberg group, we discuss the existence of an analogous monotonicity formula introducing a necessary condition for its…

In this note we prove two monotonicity formulas for solutions of $\Delta_H f = c$ and $\Delta_H f - \p_t f = c$ in Carnot groups. Such formulas involve the right-invariant \emph{carr\'e du champ} of a function and they are false for the…
The Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula is a cornerstone in the theory of free boundary problems. In this note we provide a self-contained proof of this result. To prove the main stepping stone, namely the Friedland-Hayman…
We study the regularity of the interface between the disjoint supports of a pair of nonnegative subharmonic functions. The portion of the interface where the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman (ACF) monotonicity formula is asymptotically positive…
In this note, by exploiting mean value properties of $s$-harmonic functions, we introduce some monotonicity formulas in the nonlocal setting. We take into account intrinsically nonlocal functionals mimicking those introduced by Alt,…
We prove an Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman montonicity formula for pairs of functions solving elliptic equations driven by different ellipticity matrices in their positivity sets. As application, we derive Liouville-type theorems for subsolutions…
We introduce a new notion of Almgren's frequency which is adapted to solutions of a sub-Laplacian (harmonic functions) on a Carnot group of arbitrary step $\bG$. With this notion we investigate some new functionals associated with the…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we prove the maximal…
The automorphism groups of certain factorial complex affine threefolds admitting locally trivial actions of the additive group are determined. As a consequence new counterexamples to a generalized cancellation problem are obtained.
Duffin and Schaeffer provided a famous counterexample to show that Khintchine's theorem fails without monotonicity assumption. Given any monotonically decreasing approximation function with divergent series, we construct…
The study of Khintchin inequalities has a long history in abstract harmonic analysis. While there is almost no possibility of non-trivial Khintchine inequality for central Fourier series on compact connected semisimple Lie groups, we…
In this paper we prove an invariant Harnack inequality on Carnot-Carath\'eodory balls for fractional powers of sub-Laplacians in Carnot groups. The proof relies on an "abstract" formulation of a technique recently introduced by Caffarelli…
For free boundary problems on Euclidean spaces, the monotonicity formulas of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman and Caffarelli-Jerison-Kenig are cornerstones for the regularity theory as well as the existence theory. In this article we establish the…
In this paper we prove sharp weighted Hardy-type inequalities on Carnot groups with the homogeneous norm $N=u^{1/(2-Q)}$ associated to Folland's fundamental solution $u$ for the sub-Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{G}}$. We also prove uncertainty…
Recently, F. Brenti put a preprint on the arXiv with several interesting open problems on Coxeter groups and unimodality. In this note, we refute one of these conjectures with a counterexample and provide supporting data related to it. This…
We obtain new results pertaining to convergence and recurrence of multiple ergodic averages along functions from a Hardy field. Among other things, we confirm some of the conjectures posed by Frantzikinakis in [Fra10; Fra16] and obtain…
