This paper establishes a bivariate Hardy-Sobolev inequality. Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N \geq 3$) be an open domain, $s \in (0,2)$, $\alpha > 1$, $\beta > 1$ with $\alpha + \beta = 2^*(s)$, and $\kappa \in \mathbb{R}$. For any…

For the speed-change exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ reversible with respect to the product Bernoulli measure, we prove that its semigroup $P_t$ satisfies a variance decay $\operatorname{Var}[P_t u] = C_u t^{-\frac{d}{2}} +…

We study the behavior for $t$ small and positive of $C^{2,1}$ nonnegative solutions $u(x,t)$ and $v(x,t)$ of the system \[0\leq u_t-\Delta u\leq v^\lambda\] \[0\leq v_t-\Delta v\leq u^\sigma\] in $\Omega\times (0,1)$, where $\lambda$ and…

The Borichev--Tomilov theorem \cite{BT2010} provides a sharp characterization of polynomial decay for linear $C_0$-semigroups in terms of resolvent growth along the imaginary axis. In the nonlinear setting, the absence of a spectral theory…

If $(T_t)$ is a semigroup of Markov operators on an $L^1$-space that admits a non-trivial lower bound, then a well-known theorem of Lasota and Yorke asserts that the semigroup is strongly convergent as $t \to \infty$. In this article we…

Let $f$ be a real-valued, degree-$d$ Boolean function defined on the $n$-dimensional Boolean cube $\{\pm 1\}^{n}$, and $f(x) = \sum_{S \subset \{1,\ldots,d\}} \widehat{f}(S) \prod_{k \in S} x_k$ its Fourier-Walsh expansion. The main result…

The influence of the $k$'th coordinate on a Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is the probability that flipping $x_k$ changes the value $f(x)$. The total influence $I(f)$ is the sum of influences of the coordinates. The…

We consider the following stochastic heat equation \begin{equation*} \partial_t u(t\,,x) = \tfrac12 \partial^2_x u(t\,,x) + b(u(t\,,x)) + \sigma(u(t\,,x)) \dot{W}(t\,,x), \end{equation*} defined for $(t\,,x)\in(0\,,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}$,…

This paper is concerned with the study of the nonlinear viscoelastic evolution equation with strong damping and source terms, described by \[u_{tt} - \Delta_{\mathbb{B}}u + \int_{0}^{t}g(t-\tau)\Delta_{\mathbb{B}}u(\tau)d\tau +…

We consider the problem of stability for the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality. Exploiting properties of the transport map between radially decreasing functions and a suitable functional version of the trace inequality, we obtain a uniform…

This article is concerned in the first place with the short-time observability constant of the heat equation from a subdomain $\omega$ of a bounded domain $M$. The constant is of the form $e^{\frac{K}{T}}$, where $K$ depends only on the…

We show that the sharp constant in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality can be derived using the method that we employed earlier for a similar inequality on the Heisenberg group. The merit of this proof is that it does not rely on…

We study well-posedness of degenerate mixed-type parabolic-hyperbolic equations $$ \partial_tu+\text{div}\big(f(u)\big)=\mathcal{L}[b(u)] $$ on bounded domains with general Dirichlet boundary/exterior conditions. The nonlocal diffusion…

We consider the real $\beta$-ensemble (or 1D log-gas) of dimension $N$ in the high-temperature regime, \textit{i.e.} where the inverse temperature $\beta$ scales as $N\beta=2P$ with $P$ a fixed positive parameter. We establish the large-$N$…

Let $T_{\epsilon}$, $0 \le \epsilon \le 1/2$, be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $q \ge 1$. In arXiv:1809.09696 the $\ell_q$ norm of…

This paper is devoted to several small data existence results for semi-linear wave equations on negatively curved Riemannian manifolds. We provide a simple and geometric proof of small data global existence for any power $p\in (1,…

The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly…

We prove an invariance principle for functions on a slice of the Boolean cube, which is the set of all vectors {0,1}^n with Hamming weight k. Our invariance principle shows that a low-degree, low-influence function has similar distributions…
