We study Poincar{\'e} inequalities and long-time behavior for diffusion processes on R^n under a variable curvature lower bound, in the sense of Bakry-Emery. We derive various estimates on the rate of convergence to equilibrium in L^1…

We study the (massless) Dirac operator on a 3-sphere equipped with Riemannian metric. For the standard metric the spectrum is known. In particular, the eigenvalues closest to zero are the two double eigenvalues +3/2 and -3/2. Our aim is to…

We study the set of Quantum Limits, and more generally, of semiclassical measures of sequences of eigenfunctions of perturbations of the Laplacian on the spheres $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ and $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ by point-scatterers. In the unperturbed…

Classically, the continuous-time Langevin diffusion converges exponentially fast to its stationary distribution $\pi$ under the sole assumption that $\pi$ satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality. Using this fact to provide guarantees for the…

In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincar\'e group with terms which are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as…

We prove a local $L^p$-Poincar\'e inequality, $1\leq p < \infty$, on noncompact Lie groups endowed with a sub-Riemannian structure. We show that the constant involved grows at most exponentially with respect to the radius of the ball, and…

We study the isoperimetric problem for the radially symmetric measures. Applying the spherical symmetrization procedure and variational arguments we reduce this problem to a one-dimensional ODE of the second order. Solving numerically this…

The two dimensional set of canonical relations giving rise to minimal uncertainties previously constructed from a q-deformed oscillator algebra is further investigated. We provide a representation for this algebra in terms of a flat…

Let $(E,\mathcal F,\mu)$ be a probability space, and let $P$ be a Markov operator on $L^2(\mu)$ with $1$ a simple eigenvalue such that $\mu P=\mu$ (i.e. $\mu$ is an invariant probability measure of $P$). Then $\hat P:=\ff 1 2 (P+P^*)$ has a…

Bi-log-concavity of probability measures is a univariate extension of the notion of log-concavity that has been recently proposed in a statistical literature. Among other things, it has the nice property from a modelisation perspective to…

Boundedness properties of operators associated with non-degenerate symmetric $\alpha$-stable, $\alpha \in (1,2)$, probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are investigated on appropriate, Euclidean or otherwise, $L^p$-spaces, $p \in…

We consider the problem of variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under off-diagonal perturbations. We prove a number of new optimal results on the shift of the spectrum and obtain (sharp) estimates on the norm of…

On compact Riemannian manifolds with a large isometry group we investigate the invariant spectrum of the ordinary Laplacian. For either a toric Kaehler metric, or a rotationally-symmetric metric on the sphere, we produce upper bounds for…

We establish formulae for the derivative of the Poincar\'e constant of Gibbs measures on both compact domains and all of $\R^d$. As an application, we show that if the (not necessarily convex) Hamiltonian is an increasing function, then the…

We consider transformations preserving a contracting foliation, such that the associated quotient map satisfies a Lasota-Yorke inequality. We prove that the associated transfer operator, acting on suitable normed spaces, has a spectral gap…

In a model of physics taking place on a discrete set of points that approximates Minkowski space, one might perhaps expect there to be an empirically identifiable preferred frame. However, the work of Dowker, Bombelli, Henson, and Sorkin…

In this paper we give a geometric condition which ensures that $(q,p)$-Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequalities are implied from generalized $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequalities related to $L^1$ norms in the context of product spaces. The concept of…

We investigate the possibility of improving the $p$-Poincar\'e inequality $\|\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^N} u\|_p \ge \Lambda_p \|u\|_p$ on the hyperbolic space, where $p>2$ and $\Lambda_p:=[(N-1)/p]^{p}$ is the best constant for which such…

We prove a Payne-Weinberger type inequality for the $p$-Laplacian Neumann eigenvalues ($p\ge 2$). The inequality provides the sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constants in Poincar\'e…

In the first order form, the model considered by Strobl presents, besides local Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariances, an additional local non-linear symmetry. When the model is realized as a Poincar\'e gauge theory according to the…
