We study the following version of Hardy-type inequality on a domain $\Omega$ in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: $$ \int{\Omega}|\nabla u|_g^p\rho^\alpha dV_g \geq \left(\frac{|p-1+\beta|}{p}\right)^p\int{\Omega}\frac{|u|^p|\nabla…

In this article, we study domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{S}^2$ that support positive solutions of the overdetermined problem $$ \Delta u + f(u,|\nabla u|)=0 \quad \text{in } \Omega, $$ subject to the boundary conditions $u=0$ on…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

We consider the problem -\Delta u - g(u) = \lambda u, u \in H^1(\R^N), \int_{\R^N} u^2 = 1, \lambda\in\R, in dimension $N\ge2$. Here $g$ is a superlinear, subcritical, possibly nonhomogeneous, odd nonlinearity. We deal with the case where…

We show that for an $L^2$ drift $b$ in two dimensions, if the Hardy norm of $\text{div }b$ is small, then the weak solutions to $\Delta u+b\cdot\nabla u=0$ have the same optimal H\"older regularity as in the case of divergence-free drift,…
