The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms of the integral of the mean curvature and of the length of…

Applying the techniques developed in [AGG], we construct new real hyperbolic manifolds whose underlying topology is that of a disc bundle over a closed orientable surface. By the Gromov-Lawson-Thurston conjecture [GLT], such bundles $M\to…

We consider the problem of the boundedness of maximal operators on BMO on shapes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that for bases of shapes with an engulfing property, the corresponding maximal function is bounded from BMO to BLO, generalising a…

Using the 20 questions estimation framework with query-dependent noise, we study non-adaptive search strategies for a moving target over the unit cube with unknown initial location and velocities under a piecewise constant velocity model.…

Let $\mathcal{M}(n,D)$ be the space of closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with $diam(M) \leq D$ and $| \sec^M | \leq 1$. In this paper we consider sequences $(M_i,g_i)$ in $\mathcal{M}(n,D)$ converging in the…

In contrast to elliptic surfaces, the Fourier restriction problem for hypersurfaces of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature which admit principal curvatures of opposite signs is still hardly understood. In fact, even for 2-surfaces, the only…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

We consider an elliptic Kolmogorov equation lambda u - Ku =f in a convex subset C of a separable Hilbert space X. We prove maximal Sobolev regularity of its weak solution, when lambda >0 and f is in L^2(C,nu), where nu is the log-concave…

For a given polygonal region $P$, the Lawn Mowing Problem (LMP) asks for a shortest tour $T$ that gets within Euclidean distance 1 of every point in $P$; this is equivalent to computing a shortest tour for a unit-disk cutter $C$ that covers…

This article deals with the existence of hypersurfaces minimizing general shape functionals under certain geometric constraints. We consider as admissible shapes orientable hypersurfaces satisfying a so-called reach condition, also known as…

We show local well-posedness for the Mullins-Sekerka system with ninety degree angle boundary contact. We will describe the motion of the moving interface by a height function over a fixed reference surface. Using the theory of maximal…

In this paper we deal with the composite plate problem, namely the following optimization eigenvalue problem $$ \inf_{\rho \in \mathrm{P}} \inf_{u \in \mathcal{W}\setminus\{0\}} \frac{\int_{\Omega}(\Delta u)^2}{\int_{\Omega} \rho u^2}, $$…

This paper focuses on optimization problems constrained by Parametric Variational Inequalities (PVI) defined on a moving set. Unlike most existing works on mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints, the equilibrium constraints have…

We consider three different questions related to the Steklov and mixed Steklov problems on surfaces. These questions are connected by the techniques that we use to study them, which exploit symmetry in various ways even though the surfaces…

Let $\mathcal{W} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a planar polygonal environment (i.e., a polygon potentially with holes) with a total of $n$ vertices, and let $A,B$ be two robots, each modeled as an axis-aligned unit square, that can translate…

In this work, we consider static manifolds $M$ with nonempty boundary $\partial M$. In this case, we suppose that the potential $V$ also satisfies an overdetermined Robin type condition on $\partial M$. We prove a rigidity theorem for the…

We consider a rigid body freely moving in a compressible inviscid fluid within a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. The fluid is thereby governed by the non necessarily isentropic compressible Euler equations, while the rigid body…

We derive upper bounds on the fluctuations of a class of random surfaces of the $\nabla \phi$-type with convex interaction potentials. The Brascamp-Lieb concentration inequality provides an upper bound on these fluctuations for uniformly…

In its most general form, the optimal transport problem is an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, yet certain notable instances admit closed-form solutions. We identify the common source of this tractability as \textit{symmetry} and…

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…
