For a fixed unit vector $a=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)\in S^{n-1}$, we consider the $2^n$ sign vectors $\varepsilon=(\varepsilon^1,\varepsilon^2,\ldots,\varepsilon^n)\in \{+1,-1\}^n$ and the corresponding scalar products $\varepsilon\cdot…

We obtain a sharp estimate for the best constant $C>0$ in the Wirtinger type inequality \[ \int_0^{2\pi}\gamma^pw^2\le C\int_0^{2\pi}\gamma^qw'^2 \] where $\gamma$ is bounded above and below away from zero, $w$ is $2\pi$-periodic and such…

We obtain the sharp factor of the two-sides estimates of the optimal constant in generalized Hardy's inequality with two general Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}$, which generalizes and unifies the known continuous and discrete cases.

Let $p$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n$ in $n$ variables, $p(z_1,...,z_n) = p(Z)$, $Z \in C^{n}$. We call such a polynomial $p$ {\bf H-Stable} if $p(z_1,...,z_n) \neq 0$ provided the real parts $Re(z_i) > 0, 1 \leq i \leq n$. This…

For r \ge 2, let X be the number of r-armed stars K_{1,r} in the binomial random graph G_{n,p}. We study the upper tail \Pr(X \ge (1+\epsilon)\E X), and establish exponential bounds which are best possible up to constant factors in the…

It is well known that if a random vector satisfies a log-Sobolev inequality, all of its marginals have subgaussian tails. In the spirit of the KLS conjecture, we investigate whether this implication can be reversed under a log-concavity…
