We discuss a natural extension of Gilles Pisier's approach to the study of measure concentration, isoperimetry and Poincar\'e-type inequalities. This approach allows one to explore counterparts of various results about Gaussian measure in…

We study an isoperimetric problem described by a functional that consists of the standard Gaussian perimeter and the norm of the barycenter. This second term has a repulsive effect, and it is in competition with the perimeter. Because of…

The Cheeger problem for a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N>1$ consists in minimizing the quotients $|\partial E|/|E|$ among all smooth subdomains $E\subset\Omega$ and the Cheeger constant $h(\Omega)$ is the minimum of these…

We study the existence of solutions to the equation $-\Gd_pu+g(x,u)=\mu$ when $g(x,.)$ is a nondecreasing function and $\gm$ a measure. We characterize the good measures, i.e. the ones for which the problem as a renormalized solution. We…

A Bayesian filtering algorithm is developed for a class of state-space systems that can be modelled via Gaussian mixtures. In general, the exact solution to this filtering problem involves an exponential growth in the number of mixture…

We consider the unique infinite connected component of supercritical bond percolation on the square lattice and study the geometric properties of isoperimetric sets, i.e., sets with minimal boundary for a given volume. For almost every…

We consider the inverse problem for the polynomial map which sends an $m$-tuple of quadratic forms in $n$ variables to the sum of their $d$-th powers. This map captures the moment problem for mixtures of $m$ centered $n$-variate Gaussians.…

The Cheeger constant of a graph, or equivalently its coboundary expansion, quantifies the expansion of the graph. This notion assumes an implicit choice of a coefficient group, namely, $\mathbb{F}_2$. In this paper, we study Cheeger-type…

We study the isoperimetric subgraphs of the infinite cluster $\textbf{C}_\infty$ for supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq 3$. Specifically, we consider the subgraphs of $\textbf{C}_\infty \cap [-n,n]^d$ which have…

We consider the simplest model of $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_R$ gauge symmetry with one extra singlet field whose vacuum expectation value breaks the horizontal $R$-symmetry $U(1)_R$ and gives rise to Yukawa textures. The…

We resolve most cases of identifiability from sixth-order moments for Gaussian mixtures on spaces of large dimensions. Our results imply that the parameters of a generic mixture of $ m\leq\mathcal{O}(n^4) $ Gaussians on $ \mathbb R^n $ can…

If all the eigenvalues of the Hermitian-adjacency matrix of a mixed graph are integers, then the mixed graph is called \emph{H-integral}. If all the eigenvalues of the (0,1)-adjacency matrix of a mixed graph are \emph{Gaussian integers},…

In this paper we introduce a Cheeger-type constant defined as a minimization of a suitable functional among all the $N$-clusters contained in an open bounded set $\Omega$. Here with $N$-Cluster we mean a family of $N$ sets of finite…

We use a variational formulation to define a generalized notion of perimeter, from which we derive abstract isoperimetric Cheeger's inequalities via gradient estimates on solutions of Poisson equations. Our abstract framework unifies many…
