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 : ...

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 ...

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'...
