Fixed angle inverse scattering in the presence of a Riemannian metric
2020
We consider a fixed angle inverse scattering problem in the presence of a known Riemannian metric. First, assuming a no caustics condition, we study the direct problem by utilizing the progressing wave expansion. Under a symmetry assumption on the metric, we obtain uniqueness and stability results in the inverse scattering problem for a potential with data generated by two incident waves from opposite directions. Further, similar results are given using one measurement provided the potential also satisfies a symmetry assumption. This work extends the results of [23,24] from the Euclidean case to certain Riemannian metrics.
Quantitative Alexandrov theorem and asymptotic behavior of the volume preserving mean curvature flow
2020
We prove a new quantitative version of the Alexandrov theorem which states that if the mean curvature of a regular set in Rn+1 is close to a constant in the Ln sense, then the set is close to a union of disjoint balls with respect to the Hausdorff distance. This result is more general than the previous quantifications of the Alexandrov theorem, and using it we are able to show that in R2 and R3 a weak solution of the volume preserving mean curvature flow starting from a set of finite perimeter asymptotically convergences to a disjoint union of equisize balls, up to possible translations. Here by a weak solution we mean a flat flow, obtained via the minimizing movements scheme. peerReviewed
The method of moving planes: a quantitative approach
2018
We review classical results where the method of the moving planes has been used to prove symmetry properties for overdetermined PDE's boundary value problems (such as Serrin's overdetermined problem) and for rigidity problems in geometric analysis (like Alexandrov soap bubble Theorem), and we give an overview of some recent results related to quantitative studies of the method of moving planes, where quantitative approximate symmetry results are obtained.
Characterizing boundedness of metaplectic Toeplitz operators
2023
We study Toeplitz operators on the Bargmann space, with Toeplitz symbols given by exponentials of complex quadratic forms. We show that the boundedness of the corresponding Weyl symbols is necessary for the boundedness of the operators, thereby completing the proof of the Berger-Coburn conjecture in this case. We also show that the compactness of such Toeplitz operators is equivalent to the vanishing of their Weyl symbols at infinity.
Bi-Lipschitz invariance of planar BV- and W1,1-extension domains
2021
We prove that a bi-Lipschitz image of a planar $BV$-extension domain is also a $BV$-extension domain, and that a bi-Lipschitz image of a planar $W^{1,1}$-extension domain is again a $W^{1,1}$-extension domain.
Radial Maximal Function Characterizations of Hardy Spaces on RD-Spaces and Their Applications
2009
Let ${\mathcal X}$ be an RD-space with $\mu({\mathcal X})=\infty$, which means that ${\mathcal X}$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss and its measure has the reverse doubling property. In this paper, we characterize the atomic Hardy spaces $H^p_{\rm at}(\{\mathcal X})$ of Coifman and Weiss for $p\in(n/(n+1),1]$ via the radial maximal function, where $n$ is the "dimension" of ${\mathcal X}$, and the range of index $p$ is the best possible. This completely answers the question proposed by Ronald R. Coifman and Guido Weiss in 1977 in this setting, and improves on a deep result of Uchiyama in 1980 on an Ahlfors 1-regular space and a recent result of Loukas Grafakos…
New Orlicz-Hardy Spaces Associated with Divergence Form Elliptic Operators
2009
Let $L$ be the divergence form elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients, $\omega$ the positive concave function on $(0,\infty)$ of strictly critical lower type $p_\oz\in (0, 1]$ and $\rho(t)={t^{-1}}/\omega^{-1}(t^{-1})$ for $t\in (0,\infty).$ In this paper, the authors study the Orlicz-Hardy space $H_{\omega,L}({\mathbb R}^n)$ and its dual space $\mathrm{BMO}_{\rho,L^\ast}({\mathbb R}^n)$, where $L^\ast$ denotes the adjoint operator of $L$ in $L^2({\mathbb R}^n)$. Several characterizations of $H_{\omega,L}({\mathbb R}^n)$, including the molecular characterization, the Lusin-area function characterization and the maximal function characterization, are established. The …
Spectra for Semiclassical Operators with Periodic Bicharacteristics in Dimension Two
2014
We study the distribution of eigenvalues for selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators in dimension two, arising as perturbations of selfadjoint operators with a periodic classical flow. When the strength $\varepsilon$ of the perturbation is $\ll h$, the spectrum displays a cluster structure, and assuming that $\varepsilon \gg h^2$ (or sometimes $\gg h^{N_0}$, for $N_0 >1$ large), we obtain a complete asymptotic description of the individual eigenvalues inside subclusters, corresponding to the regular values of the leading symbol of the perturbation, averaged along the flow.
Weyl law for semi-classical resonances with randomly perturbed potentials
2011
In this work we consider semi-classical Schr\"odinger operators with potentials supported in a bounded strictly convex subset ${\cal O}$ of ${\bf R}^n$ with smooth boundary. Letting $h$ denote the semi-classical parameter, we consider certain classes of small random perturbations and show that with probability very close to 1, the number of resonances in rectangles $[a,b]-i[0,ch^{2/3}[$, is equal to the number of eigenvalues in $[a,b]$ of the Dirichlet realization of the unperturbed operator in ${\cal O}$ up to a small remainder.
Dimensional reduction for energies with linear growth involving the bending moment
2008
A $\Gamma$-convergence analysis is used to perform a 3D-2D dimension reduction of variational problems with linear growth. The adopted scaling gives rise to a nonlinear membrane model which, because of the presence of higher order external loadings inducing a bending moment, may depend on the average in the transverse direction of a Cosserat vector field, as well as on the deformation of the mid-plane. The assumption of linear growth on the energy leads to an asymptotic analysis in the spaces of measures and of functions with bounded variation.
