We prove fractional boundary Hardy's inequality in dimension one for the critical case $sp =1$. Optimality of the inequality is obtained for any $p$. The extra logarithmic correction term appears in usual fashion. We also provide a concrete…

When an eigenvector of a semi-bounded operator is positive, we show that a remarkably simple argument allows to obtain upper and lower bounds for its associated eigenvalue. This theorem is a substantial generalization of Barta-like…

Let $(\lambda_-,\lambda_+)$ be a spectral gap of a periodic Schr\"odinger operator $A$ on the lattice ${\mathbb Z}^d$. Consider the operator $A(\alpha)=A-\alpha V$ where $V$ is a decaying positive potential on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We study the…

In this paper, we study the critical Sobolev embeddings $W^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)\subset L^{p^*(x)}(\Omega)$ for variable exponent Sobolev spaces from the point of view of the $\Gamma$-convergence. More precisely we determine the $\Gamma$-limit…

We prove upper and lower bounds on the optimal constant $\Lambda_d$ of the Bakry-\'Emery $\Gamma_2$ criterion for positive symmetric functions on the unit sphere $S^{d-1}$, which also can be identified as positive functions on the real…

We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator in the case when the potential is strongly convex. In particular, if the Hessian of the potential is bounded from below by a positive constant, the…

We prove eigenvalue bounds for Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_g+V$ on compact manifolds with complex potentials $V$. The bounds depend only on an $L^q$-norm of the potential, and they are shown to be optimal, in a certain sense, on the…

The Cheeger constant, $h_G$, is a measure of expansion within a graph. The classical Cheeger Inequality states: $\lambda_{1}/2 \le h_G \le \sqrt{2 \lambda_{1}}$ where $\lambda_1$ is the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the normalized…

We study sharp weighted Sobolev-type inequalities of the form \[ \int_{0}^{1}|u(x)|\rho(x) \diff x \leqslant \Lambda \Bigl(\int_{0}^{1}|u^{(k)}(x)|^2 \diff x\Bigr)^{1/2}, \qquad u\in H_0^k(0,1), \] where $\rho$ is a non-negative weight. We…

In this short note, we give an easy proof of the following result: for $ n\geq 2, $ $\underset{t\to0}{\lim} \,e^{it\Delta }f\left(x+\gamma(t)\right) = f(x) $ almost everywhere whenever $ \gamma $ is an $ \alpha- $H\"older curve with $…

We establish sharp upper bounds for the $2k$th moment of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line, for all real $0 \leqslant k \leqslant 2$. This improves on earlier work of Ramachandra, Heath-Brown and Bettin-Chandee-Radziwi\l\l

We provide lower bounds for the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator $|\sigma\cdot p_A|^{2s} - C_s/|x|^{2s} + V$ in three dimensions, where $s\in (0, 1]$, covering the interesting physical cases $s = 1$ and $s = 1/2$. Here…

In this paper I prove a L^p-L^p' estimate for the solutions of the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation with a potential in L^1_gamma where in the generic case gamma > 3/2 and in the exceptional case (i.e. when there is a half-bound state…

We study the number $N_{<0}(H_s)$ of negative eigenvalues, counting multiplicities, of the fractional Schr\"odinger operator $H_s=(-\Delta)^s-V(x)$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, for any $d\ge1$ and $s\ge d/2$. We prove a bound on $N_{<0}(H_s)$…

The transmission eigenvalues corresponding to the half-line Schr\"odinger equation with the general selfadjoint boundary condition is analyzed when the potential is real valued, integrable, and compactly supported. It is shown that a…
