In this paper we elaborate on the interplay between energy optimization, positive definiteness, and discrepancy. In particular, assuming the existence of a $K$-invariant measure $\mu$ with full support, we show that conditional positive…

There is a natural capacity associated to any vector valued Riesz kernel of a given homogeneity. If we are in the plane and the kernel is the Cauchy kernel, then this capacity is analytic capacity. Our main result states that if the…

For the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_\rm{g}+V$ on a complete Riemannian manifold with real valued potential $V$ of compact support, we establish a sharp equivalence between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite-order…

We study the potential theory of a large class of infinite dimensional L\'evy processes, including Brownian motion on abstract Wiener spaces. The key result is the construction of compact Lyapunov functions, i.e. excessive functions with…

We consider the problem of determining the monic integer transfinite diameter for real intervals $I$ of length less than 4. We show that $t_M([0,x])$, as a function in $x>0$, is continuous, therefore disproving two conjectures due to Hare…

Finding point configurations, that yield the maximum polarization (Chebyshev constant) is gaining interest in the field of geometric optimization. In the present article, we study the problem of unconstrained maximum polarization on compact…

For the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation $$ [- \Delta +v(x)]\psi=E\psi,\ x\in \R^2,\ E=E_{fixed}>0 \ \ \ \ \ (*)$$ at a fixed positive energy with a fast decaying at infinity potential $v(x)$ dispersion relations on the scattering…

Convergence of the Schwinger --- DeWitt expansion for the evolution operator kernel for special class of potentials is studied. It is shown, that this expansion, which is in general case asymptotic, converges for the potentials considered…

Universal kernels, whose Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space is dense in the space of continuous functions are of great practical and theoretical interest. In this paper, we introduce an explicit construction of universal kernels on compact…

We present a sufficient condition on sets $E$ and $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to ensure compactness of Fourier concentration operators by introducing the notion of sets which are very thin at infinity. We are able to show that if the sets $E$ and…

We consider the systems of diffusion-orthogonal polynomials, defined in the work [1] of D. Bakry, S. Orevkov and M. Zani and (particularly) explain why these systems with boundary of maximal possible degree should always come from the…

We extend Korevaar-Schoen's theory of metric valued Sobolev maps to cover the case of the source space being an RCD space. In this situation it appears that no version of the `subpartition lemma' holds: to obtain both existence of the limit…

New exact results are given for the interior Casimir energies of infinitely long waveguides of triangular cross section (equilateral, hemiequilateral, and isosceles right triangles). Results for cylinders of rectangular cross section are…

We study the problem of minimizing the supremum norm, on a segment of the real line or on a compact set in the plane, by polynomials with integer coefficients. The extremal polynomials are naturally called integer Chebyshev polynomials.…

We study the constrained minimum energy problem with an external field relative to the $\alpha$-Riesz kernel $|x-y|^{\alpha-n}$ of order $\alpha\in(0,n)$ for a generalized condenser $\mathbf A=(A_i)_{i\in I}$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geqslant…

We use the theory of rectifiable metric spaces to define a Dirichlet energy of Lipschitz functions defined on the support of integral currents. This energy is obtained by integration of the square of the norm of the tangential derivative,…

We prove global Sobolev regularity and pointwise upper bounds for the gradient of transition densities associated with second order differential operators in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with unbounded diffusion, drift and potential terms.

We consider the extremal pointset configuration problem of maximizing a kernel-based energy subject to the geometric constraints that the points are contained in a fixed set, the pairwise distances are bounded below, and that every closed…

We investigate links between the so-called Stein's density approach in dimension one and some functional and concentration inequalities. We show that measures having a finite first moment and a density with connected support satisfy a…

We present a survey of central developments in the theory of Chebyshev polynomials, introduced by P.~L.~Chebyshev and later extended to the complex plane by G.~Faber. Our primary focus is their defining extremal property: among all…
