We establish weighted Lp-Fourier extension estimates for O(N−k)×O(k)-invariant functions defined on the unit sphere SN−1, allowing for exponents p below the Stein–Tomas critical exponent 2(N+1)/N−1. Moreover, in the more general setting of an arbitrary closed subgroup G⊂O(N) and G-invariant functions, we study the implications of weighted Fourier extension estimates with regard to boundedness and nonvanishing properties of the corresponding weighted Helmholtz resolvent operator. Finally, we use these properties to derive new existence results for G-invariant solutions to the nonlinear Helmholtz equation −Δu−u = Q(x)|u|p−2u,u∈W2,p(RN), where Q is a nonnegative bounded and G-invariant weight function.
We consider ground state solutions u ∈ H2(RN) of biharmonic (fourth-order) nonlinear Schrodinger equations of the form ¨2u + 2au + bu − |u| p−2u = 0 in RN with positive constants a, b > 0 and exponents 2 < p < 2∗, where 2∗ = 2N N−4 if N > 4 and 2∗ = ∞ if N ≤ 4. By exploiting a connection to the adjoint Stein–Tomas inequality on the unit sphere and by using trial functions due to Knapp, we prove a general symmetry breaking result by showing that all ground states u ∈ H2(RN) in dimension N ≥ 2 fail to be radially symmetric for all exponents 2 < p < 2N+2 N−1 in a suitable regime of a, b > 0. As applications of our main result, we also prove symmetry breaking for a minimization problem with constrained L2-mass and for a related problem on the unit ball in RN subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions.
We obtain spectral inequalities and asymptotic formulae for the discrete spectrum of the operator 12log(−Delta) in an open set OmegaERd, d≥2, of finite measure with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also derive some results regarding lower bounds for the eigenvalue Lambda1(Omega) and compare them with previously known inequalities.
Existence of nonradial domains for overdetermined and isoperimetric problems in nonconvex cones
(2022)
In this work we address the question of the existence of nonradial domains inside a nonconvex cone for which a mixed boundary overdetermined problem admits a solution. Our approach is variational, and consists in proving the existence of nonradial minimizers, under a volume constraint, of the associated torsional energy functional. In particular we give a condition on the domain D on the sphere spanning the cone which ensures that the spherical sector is not a minimizer. Similar results are obtained for the relative isoperimetric problem in nonconvex cones.
We study the asymptotics of Dirichlet eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the fractional Laplacian (−Δ)s in bounded open Lipschitz sets in the small order limit s→0+. While it is easy to see that all eigenvalues converge to 1 as s→0+, we show that the first order correction in these asymptotics is given by the eigenvalues of the logarithmic Laplacian operator, i.e., the singular integral operator with Fourier symbol 2log|ξ|. By this we generalize a result of Chen and the third author which was restricted to the principal eigenvalue. Moreover, we show that L2-normalized Dirichlet eigenfunctions of (−Δ)s corresponding to the k-th eigenvalue are uniformly bounded and converge to the set of L2-normalized eigenfunctions of the logarithmic Laplacian. In order to derive these spectral asymptotics, we establish new uniform regularity and boundary decay estimates for Dirichlet eigenfunctions for the fractional Laplacian. As a byproduct, we also obtain corresponding regularity properties of eigenfunctions of the logarithmic Laplacian.
The present paper is concerned with the half-space Dirichlet problem [...] where ℝ𝑁+:={𝑥∈ℝ𝑁:𝑥𝑁>0} for some 𝑁≥1 and 𝑝>1, 𝑐>0 are constants. We analyse the existence, non-existence and multiplicity of bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐). We prove that the existence and multiplicity of bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐) depend in a striking way on the value of 𝑐>0 and also on the dimension N. We find an explicit number 𝑐𝑝∈(1,𝑒√), depending only on p, which determines the threshold between existence and non-existence. In particular, in dimensions 𝑁≥2, we prove that, for 0<𝑐<𝑐𝑝, problem (𝑃𝑐) admits infinitely many bounded positive solutions, whereas, for 𝑐>𝑐𝑝, there are no bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐).
We derive a shape derivative formula for the family of principal Dirichlet eigenvalues λs(Ω) of the fractional Laplacian (−Δ)s associated with bounded open sets Ω⊂RN of class C1,1. This extends, with a help of a new approach, a result in Dalibard and Gérard-Varet (Calc. Var. 19(4):976–1013, 2013) which was restricted to the case s=12. As an application, we consider the maximization problem for λs(Ω) among annular-shaped domains of fixed volume of the type B∖B¯¯¯¯′, where B is a fixed ball and B′ is ball whose position is varied within B. We prove that λs(B∖B¯¯¯¯′) is maximal when the two balls are concentric. Our approach also allows to derive similar results for the fractional torsional rigidity. More generally, we will characterize one-sided shape derivatives for best constants of a family of subcritical fractional Sobolev embeddings.
