A monotonicity property of Harnack inequality is proved for positive invariant harmonic functions in the unit ball.

We give a short and self-contained proof of the Boundary Harnack inequality for a class of domains satisfying some geometric conditions given in terms of a state function that behaves as the distance function to the boundary, is subharmonic…

We show that each proper holomorphic self map of a symmetric power of the unit ball is an automorphism naturally induced by an automorphism of the unit ball, provided the ball is of dimension at least two.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \ge 2$). In this work, we prove that if there exists an integrable function $f$ such that it's Radon transform over $(n-1)$-dimensional hyperplanes intersecting the domain…

In this paper, we derive an interior Schauder estimate for the divergence form elliptic equation \begin{equation*} D_i(a(x)D_iu)=D_if_i \end{equation*} in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $a(x)$ and $f_i(x)$ are piecewise H\"older continuous in a…

If (M^n, g) is a complete Riemannian manifold with filling radius at least R, then we prove that it contains a ball of radius R and volume at least c(n)R^n. If (M^n, hyp) is a closed hyperbolic manifold and if g is another metric on M with…

The Theorem on Invariance of Domain due to L.E.J. Brouwer states that one connected, compact (Hausdorff) m-dimensional manifold embedded into another actually realizes a homeomorphism. This fundamental result is relevant to Functional…

We say that a star body $K$ is completely symmetric if it has centroid at the origin and its symmetry group $G$ forces any ellipsoid whose symmetry group contains $G$, to be a ball. In this short note, we prove that if all central sections…

In this paper, we introduce concepts of separable functions in balls and in the whole space, and develop a new method to investigate the qualitative properties of separable functions. We first study the axial symmetry and monotonicity of…

We show that if a bounded domain in complex Euclidean space with $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$ boundary covers a compact manifold, then the domain is biholomorphic to the unit ball.

We prove the following. If $f$ is a harmonic quasiconformal mapping between the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a spatial domain with $C^{1,\alpha}$ boundary, then $f$ is Lipschitz continuous in $B$. This generalizes some known results for…

We study a family of self-affine tiles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\ge2$) with noncollinear digit sets, which naturally generalizes a class studied originally by Deng and Lau in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and its extension to $\mathbb{R}^3}$ by the authors.…

We prove that there is a continuous non-negative function $g$ on the unit sphere in $\cd$, $d \geq 2$, whose logarithm is integrable with respect to Lebesgue measure, and which vanishes at only one point, but such that no non-zero bounded…

Let $f \in L_{loc}^1 (\R^n)\cap \mathcal{S}$, where $\mathcal{S}$ is the Schwartz class of distributions, and $$\int_{\sigma (D)} f(x) dx = 0 \quad \forall \sigma \in G, \qquad (*)$$ where $D\subset \R^n$ is a bounded domain, the closure…

We consider the covering of a ball in certain normed spaces by its congruent subsets and show that if the finite number of sets is not greater than the dimensionality of the space, then the centre of the ball either belongs to the interior…

Let $\mathscr{B}=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^d : |x|<R \}$ ($d\geq 3$) be a ball. We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian associated with $\mathscr{B}$ and prove that its eigenvalue counting function has an asymptotics \begin{equation*}…

We prove that the area of a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma^2 \subset B^n$, where $B^n$ is a geodesic ball contained in a round hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^n_+$, is at least as big as that of a geodesic disk with the same radius as $B^n$;…

A ball-polyhedron is the intersection with non-empty interior of finitely many (closed) unit balls in Euclidean 3-space. One can represent the boundary of a ball-polyhedron as the union of vertices, edges, and faces defined in a rather…

The smallest $r$ so that a metric $r$-ball covers a metric space $M$ is called the radius of $M$. The volume of a metric $r$-ball in the space form of constant curvature $k$ is an upper bound for the volume of any Riemannian manifold with…

We prove that the set of directions of lines intersecting three disjoint balls in $R^3$ in a given order is a strictly convex subset of $S^2$. We then generalize this result to $n$ disjoint balls in $R^d$. As a consequence, we can improve…
