We show that, for a fixed order $\gamma\geq 1$, each local minimizer of a rather general nonsmooth optimization problem in Euclidean spaces is either M-stationary in the classical sense (corresponding to stationarity of order $1$),…

We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…

By using Lyapunov conditions, weak Poincar\'e inequalities are established for some probability measures on a manifold $(M,g)$. These results are further applied to the convolution of two probability measures on $\R^d$. Along with explicit…

We consider a homogeneous space $X=(X,d,m) $ of dimension $\nu\geq1$ and a local regular Dirichlet form in $L^{2}(X,m) .$ We prove that if a Poincar\'{e} inequality holds on every pseudo-ball $B(x,R) $ of $X$, then an Harnack's inequality…

Let M and \bar M be n-dimensional manifolds equipped with suitable Borel probability measures \rho and \bar\rho. Ma, Trudinger & Wang gave sufficient conditions on a transportation cost c \in C^4(M \times \bar M) to guarantee smoothness of…

We discuss Poincar\'e duality complexes X and the question whether or not their Spivak normal fibration admits a reduction to a vector bundle in the case where the dimension of X is at most 4. We show that in dimensions less than 4 such a…

We consider a perturbation in the non-linear transport equation on measures i.e. both initial condition $\mu_0$ and the solution $\mu_t^h$ are bounded Radon measures $\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. The perturbations occur in the velocity field…

We present a Korn-Poincar\'e-type inequality in a planar setting which is in the spirit of the Poincar\'e inequality in SBV due to De Giorgi, Carriero, Leaci. We show that for each function in SBD$^2$ one can find a modification which…

We show that the configuration space over a manifold M inherits many curvature properties of the manifold. For instance, we show that a lower Ricci curvature bound on M implies for the configuration space a lower Ricci curvature bound in…

Measure contraction property is one of the possible generalizations of Ricci curvature bound to more general metric measure spaces. In this paper, we discover sufficient conditions for a three dimensional contact subriemannian manifold to…

For any finite point set in $D$-dimensional space equipped with the 1-norm, we present random linear embeddings to $k$-dimensional space, with a new metric, having the following properties. For any pair of points from the point set that are…

We establish new obstruction results to the existence of Riemannian metrics on tori satisfying mixed bounds on both their sectional and Ricci curvatures. More precisely, from Lohkamp's theorem, every torus of dimension at least three admits…

We give an alternative proof for the fact that in $n$-dimensional Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below there exists a unique optimal transport plan from any purely $(n-1)$-unrectifiable starting measure, and that this plan is…

Let (M,g) be a smooth compact, n dimensional Riemannian manifold, n=3,4 with smooth n-1 dimensional boundary. We search the positive solutions of the singularly perturbed Klein Gordon Maxwell Proca system with homogeneous Neumann boundary…

We study functional inequalities for Markov chains on discrete spaces with entropic Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our main results are that when curvature is non-negative, but not necessarily positive, the spectral gap, the Cheeger…

We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the class of metric measure spaces verifying the synthetic Ricci curvature lower bounds $MCP(0,N)$ and having Euclidean volume growth at infinity. We avoid the classical use of the…

A local cut point is by definition a point that disconnectes its sufficiently small neighborhood. We show that there exists an upper bound for the degree of a local cut point in a metric measure space satisfying the generalized…

We prove that on an essentially non-branching $\mathrm{MCP}(K,N)$ space, if a geodesic ball has a volume lower bound and satisfies some additional geometric conditions, then in a smaller geodesic ball (in a quantified sense) we have an…

Brighton [Bri13] proved the Liouville theorem for bounded harmonic functions on weighted manifolds satisfying non-negative curvature dimension condition, i.e. $CD(0,\infty).$ In this paper, we provide a new proof of this result by using the…

We investigate four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with positive modified sectional curvature. Our first main result shows that if the norm of the self-dual Weyl tensor and the scalar curvature satisfy a certain sharp…
