We give a sharp lower bound on the area of the domain enclosed by an embedded curve lying on a two-dimensional sphere, provided that geodesic curvature of this curve is bounded from below. Furthermore, we prove some dual inequalities for…

We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…

We prove the $L^p$ bound for the Hilbert transform along variable non-flat curves $(t,u(x)[t]^\alpha+v(x)[t]^\beta)$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfy $\alpha\neq \beta,\ \alpha\neq 1,\ \beta\neq 1.$ Comparing with the associated theorem…

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n--cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. We prove sharp estimates on both the sum of k-th…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this work, we use characters to give the number of rational points on suitable curves of low degree over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in terms of the number of rational points on elliptic…

Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…

Invariants underlying shape inference are elusive: a variety of shapes can give rise to the same image, and a variety of images can be rendered from the same shape. The occluding contour is a rare exception: it has both image salience, in…

We prove sharp $L^p$ estimates for a singular transport equation by building what we call a \emph{cascading solution}; the equation studies the combined effect of multiplying by a bounded function and application of the Hilbert transform.…

We introduce an orientation-preserving landmark-based distance for continuous curves, which can be viewed as an alternative to the \Frechet or Dynamic Time Warping distances. This measure retains many of the properties of those measures,…

We prove pointwise bounds for $L^2$ eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on locally symmetric spaces with $\mathbb{Q}$-rank one if the corresponding eigenvalues lie below the continuous part of the $L^2$ spectrum. Furthermore, we…

We introduce and develop a theory of limits for sequences of sparse graphs based on $L^p$ graphons, which generalizes both the existing $L^\infty$ theory of dense graph limits and its extension by Bollob\'as and Riordan to sparse graphs…

We establish boundary regularity estimates for elliptic systems in divergence form with VMO coefficients. Additionally, we obtain nondegeneracy estimates of the Hopf-Oleinik type lemma for elliptic equations. In both cases, the moduli of…

We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…

We produce a collection of families of curves, whose point count statistics over F_p becomes Gaussian for p fixed. In particular, the average number of F_p points on curves in these families tends to infinity.

We give cohomological criteria for logarithmic good reduction of elliptic surfaces up to modification. Along the way, we prove several more general results about such surfaces in positive characteristic, as well as about log smooth…

Let $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $d\ge 3$, and let $A_t f(x)$ the average of $f$ over the sphere with radius $t$ centered at $x$. For a subset $E$ of $[1,2]$ we prove close to sharp $L^p\to L^q$ estimates for the maximal function $\sup_{t\in…

In this paper, we study the spherical maximal operator $ M_E $ over $ E\subset [1,2]$, restricted to radial functions. In higher dimensions $ d\geq 3$, we establish a complete range of $ L^p-$improving estimates for $ M_E $. In two…

Convolution with an appropriate surface measure on a paraboloid in R^d defines a bounded operator T from L^p(R^d) to L^q(R^d) for certain exponents p,q. In this article it is proved that there exist functions which extremize the associated…

We introduce an operation that measures the self intersections of paths on a surface. As applications, we give a criterion of the realizability of a generalized Dehn twist, and derive a geometric constraint on the image of the Johnson…

A Fourier restriction estimate is obtained for a broad class of conic surfaces by adding a weight to the usual underlying measure. The new restriction estimate exhibits a certain affine-invariance and implies the sharp $L^p-L^q$ restriction…
