For a prime $\ell$, let $h_\ell(K)$ denote the $\ell$-part of the class number of the number field $K$. We investigate upper bounds for $h_\ell(K)$ when $K$ is quadratic or cubic, particularly in the case in which the discriminant of $K$ is…
An inequality on torsional rigidity is established. For tangential polygons this inequality is stronger than an inequality of Polya and Szego for convex domains. (A survey of related work, not in the journal submission, is presented in the…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded convex domain in the plane and consider \begin{align*} -\Delta u &=1 \qquad \mbox{in}~\Omega \\ u &= 0 \qquad \mbox{on}~\partial \Omega. \end{align*} If $u$ assumes its maximum in $x_0 \in…
We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…
Given an ample groupoid, we construct a spectral sequence with groupoid homology with integer coefficients on the second sheet, converging to the K-groups of the (reduced) groupoid C*-algebra, provided the groupoid has torsion-free…
In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\Lambda(\Omega)$ and the torsional rigidity $T(\Omega)$ of a domain $\Omega$. We consider the problem of optimizing the product $\Lambda(\Omega)T(\Omega)$…
We describe torsion classes in the first cohomology group of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we obtain generalized Dickson's invariants for p-power polynomial rings. Secondly, we describe torsion classes in the zero-th homology…
In this paper, we provide tight lower bounds for the oracle complexity of minimizing high-order H\"older smooth and uniformly convex functions. Specifically, for a function whose $p^{th}$-order derivatives are H\"older continuous with…
In this paper, we deal with functionals involving the torsion and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions (to which we refer as Robin Torsion and Robin Eigenvalue), with other geometrical quantities, in the…
The method of Hessian measures is used to find the differential equation that defines the optimal shape of nonrotationally symmetric bodies with minimal resistance moving in a rare medium. The synthesis of optimal solutions is described. A…
Motivated by the connection between the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian and the torsional rigidity, the aim of this paper is to find a physically coherent and mathematically interesting new concept for boundary torsional…
Let $\Omega$ be an open set in Euclidean space with finite Lebesgue measure $|\Omega|$. We obtain some properties of the set function $F:\Omega\mapsto \R^+$ defined by $$ F(\Omega)=\frac{T(\Omega)\lambda_1(\Omega)}{|\Omega|} ,$$ where…
This article investigates the existence of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces for a class of Hessian quotient type curvature equations, in which the operator $\frac{\sigma_k}{\sigma_l}(\Lambda)$ arising in these equations can be viewed as a…
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding a convex or concave function. For instance, optimization problems such as finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, or some problems in economics. In…
We develop potential theory for $m$-subharmonic functions with respect to a Hermitian metric on a Hermitian manifold. First, we show that the complex Hessian operator is well-defined for bounded functions in this class. This allows to…
We show the rigidity of the hexagonal Delaunay triangulated plane under Luo's PL conformality. As a consequence, we obtain a rigidity theorem for a particular type of locally finite convex ideal hyperbolic polyhedra.
On a constraint manifold we give an explicit formula for the Hessian matrix of a cost function that involves the Hessian matrix of a prolonged function and the Hessian matrices of the constraint functions. We give an explicit formula for…
We show the $C^0$ estimate for solutions to Hessian quotient equations on hyperK\"ahler with torsion manifolds without any additional assumption on its hypercomplex structure by a clever use of the cone condition directly.
We consider the problem of minimising or maximising the quantity $\lambda(\O)T^q(\O)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $\lambda(\O)$ denotes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on…
Motivated by set estimation problems, we consider three closely related shape conditions for compact sets: positive reach, r-convexity and rolling condition. First, the relations between these shape conditions are analyzed. Second, we…
