We consider a pair of isoperimetric problems arising in physics. The first concerns a Schr\"odinger operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with an attractive interaction supported on a closed curve $\Gamma$, formally given by $-\Delta-\alpha…
Inspired by the work of Karamata, we consider an extremization problem associated with the probability of intersecting two random chords inside a circle of radius $r, \, r \in (0,1]$, where the endpoints of the chords are drawn according to…
This paper presents the solution to the following optimization problem: What is the shape of the two-dimensional region that minimizes the average L_p distance between all pairs of points if the area of this region is held fixed? [The L_p…
We establish L^p bounds on L^2 normalized spectral clusters for self-adjoint elliptic Dirichlet forms with Lipschitz coefficients. In two dimensions we obtain best possible bounds for all p between $2 and infinity, up to logarithmic losses…
In this paper, we study the $L^{p}$-improving property for the maximal operators along a large class of curves of finite type in the plane with dilation set $E \subset [1,2]$. The $L^{p}$-improving region depends on the order of finite type…
We study the number of intersections of the nodal lines of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on the standard torus with a fixed reference curve, that is, the number of zeros of the eigenfunction restricted to the curve. An upper bound is…
In this paper we find estimates for the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev trace inequality $S\|u\|^p_{L^{p_*}(\partial\Omega) \hookrightarrow \|u\|^p_{W^{1,p}(\Omega)}$ that are independent of $\Omega$. This estimates generalized…
The ropelength problem asks for the minimum-length configuration of a knotted diameter-one tube embedded in Euclidean three-space. The core curve of such a tube is called a tight knot, and its length is a knot invariant measuring…
Let $M^{(u)}$, $H^{(u)}$ be the maximal operator and Hilbert transform along the parabola $(t, ut^2) $. For $U\subset(0,\infty)$ we consider $L^p$ estimates for the maximal functions $\sup_{u\in U}|M^{(u)} f|$ and $\sup_{u\in U}|H^{(u)}…
We consider the problem of proving $L^p$ bounds for eigenfunctions of the Laplacian in the high frequency limit in the presence of nonpositive curvature and more generally, manifolds without conjugate points. In particular, we prove…
The least squares problem is formulated in terms of Lp quasi-norm regularization (0<p<1). Two formulations are considered: (i) an Lp-constrained optimization and (ii) an Lp-penalized (unconstrained) optimization. Due to the nonconvexity of…
A curve has the increasing chord property if for any points $a,b,c,d$ in this order on the curve, the distance of $a,d$ is not smaller than that of $b,c$. Answering a conjecture of Larman and McMullen, Rote proved in 1994 that the arclength…
We prove that for a finite type curve in $\mathbb R^3$ the maximal operator generated by dilations is bounded on $L^p$ for sufficiently large $p$. We also show the endpoint $L^p \to L^{p}_{1/p}$ regularity result for the averaging operators…
We consider Bernoulli first-passage percolation on the triangular lattice in which sites have 0 and 1 passage times with probability $p$ and $1-p$, respectively. For each $p\in(0,p_c)$, let $\mathcal {B}(p)$ be the limit shape in the…
We prove the existence of maximizers and the precompactness of $L^p$-normalized maximizing sequences modulo symmetries for all valid scale-invariant Fourier extension inequalities on the cone in $\mathbb R^{1+d}$. In the range for which…
Let $d\geq 2$. We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, every edge is open with a probability $p>p_c(d)$, where $p_c(d)$ denotes the critical point. We condition on the event that $0$ belongs to the infinite…
In this paper we study we study a Dirichlet optimal control prob- lem associated with a linear elliptic equation the coefficients of which we take as controls in the class of integrable functions. The characteristic feature of this control…
We study the problem of finding curves of minimum pointwise-maximum arc-length derivative of curvature, here simply called curves of minimax spirality, among planar curves of fixed length with prescribed endpoints and tangents at the…
We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathbb{M}$ associated to averages along families of finite type curves in the plane, defined by $$\mathbb{M}f(x) \, := \, \sup_{1 \leq t \leq 2} \left|\int_{\mathbb{C}} f(x-ty) \,…
The problem of finding upper bounds for L-functions at the edge of the critical strip has a long and interesting history. Here, the situation for classical L-functions such as Dirichlet L-functions is relatively well understood. The reason…
