Sharp borderline Sobolev inequalities on compact Riemannian manifolds.
Let be a hyperbolic surface and let be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue with . Let be the set of nodal lines of . For a fixed analytic curve of finite length, we study the number of intersections between and in terms of . When is compact and a geodesic circle, or when has finite volume and is a closed horocycle, we prove that is “good” in the sense of [TZ]. As a result, we obtain that the number of intersections between and is . This bound is sharp.
The main objective of the work is to provide sharp two-sided estimates of the λ-Green function, λ ≥ 0, of the hyperbolic Brownian motion of a half-space. We rely on the recent results obtained by K. Bogus and J. Małecki (2015), regarding precise estimates of the Bessel heat kernel for half-lines. We also substantially use the results of H. Matsumoto and M. Yor (2005) on distributions of exponential functionals of Brownian motion.
In this paper, we are interested in estimation problem for the drift parameters matrices of m independent multivariate diffusion processes. More specifically, we consider the case where the m-parameters matrices are supposed to satisfy some uncertain constraints. Given such an uncertainty, we develop shrinkage estimators which improve over the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Under an asymptotic distributional quadratic risk criterion, we study the relative dominance of the...

Locally exact complexes of invariant differential operators are constructed on the homogeneous model for a parabolic geometry for the even orthogonal group. The tool used for the construction is the Penrose transform developed by R. Baston and M. Eastwood. Complexes constructed here belong to the singular infinitesimal character.
This article follows the previous works [HeKlNi, HeNi] by Helffer-Klein-Nier and Helffer-Nier about the metastability in reversible diffusion processes via a Witten complex approach. Again, exponentially small eigenvalues of some self-adjoint realization of are considered as the small parameter tends to . The function is assumed to be a Morse function on some bounded domain with boundary . Neumann type boundary conditions are considered. With these boundary conditions, some possible simplifications...
We study Hamiltonian systems which generate extremal flows of regular variational problems on smooth manifolds and demonstrate that negativity of the generalized curvature of such a system implies the existence of a global smooth optimal synthesis for the infinite horizon problem. We also show that in the Euclidean case negativity of the generalized curvature is a consequence of the convexity of the Lagrangian with respect to the pair of arguments. Finally, we give a generic classification for...
