The p-th moment matrix is defined for a real random vector, generalizing the classical covariance matrix. Sharp inequalities relating the p-th moment and Renyi entropy are established, generalizing the classical inequality relating the second moment and the Shannon entropy. The extremal distributions for these inequalities are completely characterized.

In this paper we continue to advance the theory regarding the Riesz fractional gradient in the calculus of variations and fractional partial differential equations begun in an earlier work of the same name. In particular we here establish an L1 Hardy inequality, obtain further regularity results for solutions of certain fractional PDE, demonstrate the existence of minimizers for integral functionals of the fractional gradient with non-linear dependence in the field, and also establish the existence of solutions to corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations obtained as conditions of minimality. In addition we pose a number of open problems, the answers to which would fill in some gaps in the theory as well as to establish connections with more classical areas of study, including interpolation and the theory of Dirichlet forms.

In this paper we study the p-adic analytic geometry of the basic unitary group Rapoport–Zink spaces MK with signature (1, n − 1). Using the theory of Harder–Narasimhan filtration of finite flat groups developed in Fargues (Journal für die reine und angewandteMathematik 645:1–39, 2010), Fargues (Théorie de la réduction pour les groupes p-divisibles, prépublications. http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~fargues/ Prepublications.html, 2010), and the Bruhat–Tits stratification of the reduced special fiber Mred defined in Vollaard and Wedhorn (Invent. Math. 184:591–627, 2011), we find some relatively compact fundamental domain DK in MK for the action of G(Qp)×Jb(Qp), the product of the associated p-adic reductive groups, and prove that MK admits a locally finite cell decomposition. By considering the action of regular elliptic elements on these cells, we establish a Lefschetz trace formula for these spaces by applying Mieda’s main theorem in Mieda (Lefschetz trace formula for open adic spaces (Preprint). arXiv:1011.1720, 2013).
