We develop a notion of capacity for the Drury-Arveson space $H^2_d$ of holomorphic functions on the Euclidean unit ball. We show that every function in $H^2_d$ has a non-tangential limit (in fact Kor\'anyi limit) at every point in the…
We continue studying an inverse problem in the theory of periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations proposed in [14]. Let $V_1, V_2 \in C(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be two given potentials which are $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic, and…
Douglas and Rudin proved that any unimodular function on the unit circle $\T$ can be uniformly approximated by quotients of inner functions. We extend this result to the operator-valued unimodular functions defined on the boundary of the…
For the Newtonian (gravitational) $n$-body problem in the Euclidean $d$-dimensional space, the simplest possible solutions are provided by those rigid motions (homographic solutions) in which each body moves along a Keplerian orbit and the…
The goals of this paper are threefold. First, we show that a counterpart of the Newman bound related to the Chui conjecture is valid in the case where the gradient of Coulomb potential is generated by arbitrary positive charges placed at…
An extension of potential theory in R^n is obtained by continuing the Euclidean distance function holomorphically to C^n. The resulting Newtonian potential is generated by an extended source distribution D(z) in C^n whose restriction to R^n…
We formulate elasticity theory with microrotations using the framework of gauge theories, which has been developed and successfully applied in various areas of gravitation and cosmology. Following this approach, we demonstrate the existence…
Following the idea of Lusztig, Atiyah-Hirzebruch and Kosniowski, we note that the Dolbeault-type operators on compact, almost-complex manifolds are rigid. When the circle action has isolated fixed points, this rigidity result will produce…
Our work proves rigidity theorems for initial data sets associated with compact smooth spin manifolds with boundary and with compact convex polytopes, subject to the dominant energy condition. For manifolds with smooth boundary, this is…
The main results in the paper are the weighted multipolar Hardy inequalities \begin{equation*} c\int_{\R^N}\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{u^2}{|x-a_i|^2}\,d\mu \leq\int_{\R^N}|\nabla u |^2d\mu+ K\int_{\R^N} u^2d\mu, \end{equation*} in $\R^N$ for any $u$…
In his work on the mathematical formulation of 2d quantum gravity Schwarz established a rigidity result for Kac-Schwarz operators for the n-KdV hierarchies. Later on, Adler and van Moerbeke as well as Fastr\'{e} obtained different proofs of…
In this paper we first make and discuss a conjecture concerning Newtonian potentials in Euclidean n space which have all their mass on the unit sphere about the origin, and are normalized to be one at the origin. The conjecture essentially…
Upper bounds are obtained for the Newtonian capacity of compact sets in $\R^d,\,d\ge 3$ in terms of the perimeter of the $r$-parallel neighbourhood of $K$. For compact, convex sets in $\R^d,\,d\ge 3$ with a $C^2$ boundary the Newtonian…
By estimating the weighted volume, we obtain the optimal volume growth for Legendrian self-shrinkers. This, in turn, yields a rigidity theorem for entire smooth Legendrian self-shrinkers in the standard contact Euclidean (2n+1)-space.
We establish several Witten type rigidity and vanishing theorems for twisted Toeplitz operators on odd dimensional manifolds. We obtain our results by combining the modular method, modular transgression and some careful analysis of odd…
We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) elastically colliding hard balls of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ on the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^\nu$, $\nu\ge2$. We prove the so called Boltzmann-Sinai Ergodic Hypothesis, i. e. the full…
The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…
We consider several rigid bodies immersed in a viscous Newtonian fluid contained in a bounded domain in $R^3$. We introduce a new concept of dissipative weak solution of the problem based on a combination of the approach proposed by Judakov…
The essence of the potential algebra concept [3] is that quantum mechanical free motions of scalar particles on curved surfaces of given isometry algebras can be mapped on 1D Schroedinger equations with particular potentials. As long as the…
We study a class of power-law stored energy functions for spherically symmetric elastic bodies that includes well-known material models, such as the Saint Venant-Kirchhoff, Hadamard, Signorini and John models. We identify a finite subclass…
