Abstract

We establish a parameterized Heintze--Karcher-type inequality for positive solutions of nonlinear Dirichlet problems involving the $p$-Laplacian, with $p\geq2$, on bounded Riemannian domains. Under a Ricci curvature lower bound, positive boundary mean curvature, and suitable structural and approximation assumptions, the estimate follows from a regularized Reilly-type identity and a weighted Hessian inequality. We compare the resulting bound with previous estimates and investigate the geometry associated with equality. For $p=2$, an exact deficit identity allows the pointwise condition $f'\leq nk$ to be replaced by a weighted integral condition. As applications, we obtain Heintze--Karcher and Soap Bubble-type rigidity results, with equality forcing the domain to be a metric ball and the solution to be radial.

Faber--Krahn inequality for homogeneous normalized $p$-Laplacian type operators

We establish a sharp Faber-Krahn inequality for the normalized (or game-theoretic) $p$-Laplacian, proving that, for $p\geq 2$, the ball uniquely minimizes the principal Dirichlet eigenvalue among bounded connected Lipschitz domains of prescribed volume satisfying a uniform exterior sphere condition. More generally, we...

Harnack Inequality for Parabolic Fractional $p$-Laplace Equations

We establish an intrinsic Harnack inequality with an optimal tail term for weak solutions of parabolic fractional $p$-Laplace equations with $p>2$ and $s\in(0,1)$ whose kernels are symmetric, measurable, and comparable to $|x-y|^{-n-sp}$. It constitutes the nonlocal analogue of the intrinsic Harnack inequality of DiBen...

The Faber-Krahn inequality for $p$-Hermite operators

We prove a Faber-Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Hermite operator (the weighted $p$-Laplacian with Gaussian weight) on Lipschitz domains in $\R^n$ under Robin boundary conditions with positive Robin parameter. The main result states that, among all domains of given Gaussian measure, the first eigen...

Stability of the Riesz-type inequalities under gluing

We establish stability principles under compact gluing for the reverse square-root inequality and the Riesz transform. Below a common Sobolev dimension, the reverse estimate passes from finitely many model manifolds to their connected sum. A boundary-compatible Poisson parametrix also proves the Neumann reverse inequal...

Boundary Harnack inequalities for the fractional $p$-Laplacian in Reifenberg flat domains

We prove a scale-invariant boundary Harnack inequality and H\"older continuity up to the boundary of quotients of positive fractional $p$-harmonic functions in Reifenberg flat domains with sufficiently small flatness constant, for $0<s<1$ and $2\le p<2/(1-s)$. The solutions are globally nonnegative, vanish on a common...

A geometry-independent endpoint estimate for the Littlewood--Paley $g$-function generated by the Poisson semigroup

We prove a weak $(1,1)$ estimate for the full Poisson Littlewood--Paley $g$-function on every complete Riemannian manifold without boundary, with an explicit universal constant approximately equal to $3.33606$. The estimate requires no curvature restriction, volume doubling, heat kernel bound, or stochastic completenes...
