Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\Ri^d$ with boundary $\Gamma$${\!,}$ $d_\Gamma$ the Euclidean distance to the boundary and $H=-\divv(C\,\nabla)$ an elliptic operator with $C=(\,c_{kl}\,)>0$ where $c_{kl}=c_{lk}$ are real, bounded, Lipschitz…

In this work, we first recall the definition of the relative distance zeta function in [42, 43, 44, 46, 47] and slightly generalize this notion from sets to probability measures, and then move on to propose a novel definition a relative…

We study the connection between the concavity properties of a measure $\nu$ and the convexity properties of the associated relative entropy $D(\cdot \Vert \nu)$ along optimal transport. As a corollary we prove a new dimensional…

Let $\Omega\subset \R^n$ be a bounded convex domain and $\phi\in C(\bar\Omega)$ be a convex function such that $\phi$ is sufficiently smooth on $\partial\Omega$ and the Monge--Amp\`ere measure $\det D^2\phi$ is bounded away from zero and…

We generalize some fundamental results for noncompact Riemannian manfolds without boundary, that only require completeness and no curvature assumptions, to manifolds with boundary: let $M$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary…

We consider a discrete-time, continuous-state random walk with steps uniformly distributed in a disk of radius of $h$. For a simply connected domain $D$ in the plane, let $\omega_h(0,\cdot;D)$ be the discrete harmonic measure at $0\in D$…

Rademacher theorem states that every Lipschitz function on the Euclidean space is differentiable almost everywhere, where "almost everywhere" refers to the Lebesgue measure. In this paper we prove a differentiability result of similar type,…

We introduce a general class of transport distances ${\rm WB}_{\Lambda}$ over the space of positive semi-definite matrix-valued Radon measures $\mathcal{M}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}_+^n)$, called the weighted Wasserstein-Bures distance. Such a…

In this paper we show that every $L^1$-integrable function on $\partial\Omega$ can be obtained as the trace of a function of bounded variation in $\Omega$ whenever $\Omega$ is a domain with regular boundary $\partial\Omega$ in a doubling…

We show that, for a constant-degree algebraic curve $\gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^D$, every set of $n$ points on $\gamma$ spans at least $\Omega(n^{4/3})$ distinct distances, unless $\gamma$ is an {\it algebraic helix} (see Definition 1.1). This…

A mechanical linkage is a mechanism made of rigid rods linked together by flexible joints, in which some vertices are fixed and others may move. The partial configuration space of a linkage is the set of all the possible positions of a…

We show that, on a smooth riemannian manifold, the laplacian of the distance function to a point $b$ is $-\infty$ in the sense of barriers, at every point of the cut locus with respect to $b$.

In this paper, we study large $m$ asymptotics of the $l^1$ minimal $m$-partition problem for Dirichlet eigenvalue. For any smooth domain $\Omega\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $|\Omega|=1$, we prove that the limit…

The geodesic orbit property is useful and interesting in Riemannian geometry. It implies homogeneity and has important classes of Riemannian manifolds as special cases. Those classes include weakly symmetric Riemannian manifolds and…
