Smoothness of distance function to a compact set

Fix a non-empty compact subset $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ and let $d_K(x):=\min_{z \in K} \,\|z-x\|$ be the map sending any $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ to its distance from $K$. Suppose that: $K$ is regular : ...

Radial Poincare inequality for Gaussian measures

Let $\mu$ be a zero mean Gaussian probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose covariance is less than the identity. If $f$ is a $1$-Lipschitz real function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that there exists a ...

Gaussian Surface Area of Positive Semidefinite Cone

Let $\mathbb{R}^n$ be the Euclidean space and $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a sufficiently regular set, e.g., one that has smooth boundary or is convex. We define the $\epsilon$-neighbor of $A$ in the ...

Prove a consequence of Poincare inequality and volume doubling

The question is Lemma 5.3 in [1] (with-out detailed proof). But I don't know how to prove. Let $M$ be a (finite dim) manifold satisfying the following two assumptions: (1) for any $x\in M$, and any ...

Functional inequality under mean curvature flow

Let $\Sigma$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\Sigma_t$ be a variation of $\Sigma$ under the mean curvature flow under an extra condition that ${\rm vol}_{n-1}(\Sigma)={\rm vol}_{n-1}(\Sigma_t)$...

Is a space with p-norm a Finsler manifold?

Suppose $\mathbb{R}^n$ is equipped with the p-norm $\left\Vert x \right\Vert_p$. Let $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ and let $y$ be in a neighborhood of $x$. The distance between $x$ and $y$ can be defined as $\...

Lebesgue differentiation theorem holds on locally doubling space?

It's known that for a metric space with doubling measure $(X,\mu)$, the Lebesgue differentiation theorem holds , i.e. If $f:X\to \mathbb{R}$ is a locally integrable function, then $\mu$-a.e. points ...

distributional Hessian for semiconvex functions on non-smooth manifolds

Let $f:R^n \to R$ be convex. Then there exist signed Radon measures $\mu^{ij}=\mu^{ji}$ such that $$ \int_{R^n} f \frac{\partial^2 \varphi}{\partial x_i \partial x_j} dx= \int_{R^n} \varphi d\mu^{ij} ...

Can we obtain topology results using analysis in metric measures spaces?

Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold. It is known that a lower bound on the Ricci curvature is equivalent to the convexity of the entropy on $\mathcal{P}^2(M)$ (Von Rennesse and Sturm '05), but I don'...

both convex and superharmonic function on manifold concave?

M is a non-compact Rimannian manifold without boundary. $f\in W_{loc}^{1,2}(M)$ satisfies $\Delta f \leq c$ in the weak sense, i.e. $$ -\int_M \langle \nabla f,\nabla \psi \rangle dvol \leq c\int_M \...

heat kernel $p_t(x_0,y) \in D(\Delta) \cap L^\infty$ for a manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below?

X is an n-dim Riemannian manifold with the Dirichlet form $$ \varepsilon (u,v) =-\int_X \langle \nabla u,\nabla v \rangle $$ for $u,v \in W^{1,2}(X)$. Let $P_t$ and $p_t(x,y)$ be the associate ...
