We prove a sharp $L^p$ weighted Hardy inequality involving boundary distance $\delta$ for any domain $\Omega\subsetneq \mathbb R^n$. The inequality may be improved substantially under the additional assumption that $-\log \delta$ is subharmonic. Applications of these inequalities to the principle frequency of the $p-$Laplacian are given., Comment: Theorem 1.1 is known, see F. G. Avkhadiev, Hardy type inequalities in high dimensions with explicit estimate of constants, Lobachevskii J. Math. 21 (2006), 3-31

We show that every bounded pseudoconvex domain with H\"older boundary in $\mathbb C^n$ is hyperconvex., Comment: minor revision; to appear in Bull. London. Math. Soc

Let $M$ be a closed complex submanifold in ${\mathbb C}^N$ with the complete K\"ahler metric induced by the Euclidean metric. Several finiteness theorems on the $L^p$ Bergman space of holomorphic sections of a given Hermitian line bundle $L$ over $M$ and the associated $L^2$ cohomology groups are obtained. Some infiniteness theorems are also given in order to test the accuracy of finiteness theorems. As applications we obtain some rigidity results concerning growth of curvatures., Comment: Corollary 1.4, Theorem 1.5 and Theorem 1.6 are new

Based on Harnack's inequality and convex analysis we show that each plurisubharmonic function is locally BUO (bounded upper oscillation) with respect to polydiscs of finite type but not for arbitrary polydiscs. We also show that each function in the Lelong class is globally BUO with respect to all polydiscs. A dimension-free BUO estimate is obtained for the logarithm of the modulus of a complex polynomial. As an application we obtain an approximation formula for the Bergman kernel that preserves all directional Lelong numbers. For smooth plurisubharmonic functions we derive a new asymptotic identity for the Bergman kernel from Berndtsson's complex Brunn--Minkowski theory, which also yields a slightly better version of the sharp Ohsawa--Takegoshi extension theorem in some special cases., Comment: 15 pages

Quantification of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin is of key importance in many neurological research studies. Currently, measurements are often still obtained from manual segmentations on brain MR images, which is a laborious procedure. Automatic WMH segmentation methods exist, but a standardized comparison of the performance of such methods is lacking. We organized a scientific challenge, in which developers could evaluate their method on a standardized multi-center/-scanner image dataset, giving an objective comparison: the WMH Segmentation Challenge (https://wmh.isi.uu.nl/). Sixty T1+FLAIR images from three MR scanners were released with manual WMH segmentations for training. A test set of 110 images from five MR scanners was used for evaluation. Segmentation methods had to be containerized and submitted to the challenge organizers. Five evaluation metrics were used to rank the methods: (1) Dice similarity coefficient, (2) modified Hausdorff distance (95th percentile), (3) absolute log-transformed volume difference, (4) sensitivity for detecting individual lesions, and (5) F1-score for individual lesions. Additionally, methods were ranked on their inter-scanner robustness. Twenty participants submitted their method for evaluation. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the results. In brief, there is a cluster of four methods that rank significantly better than the other methods, with one clear winner. The inter-scanner robustness ranking shows that not all methods generalize to unseen scanners. The challenge remains open for future submissions and provides a public platform for method evaluation., Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging

Let $\psi$ be a plurisubharmonic function on the closed unit ball and $K_{t\psi}(z)$ the Bergman kernel on the unit ball with respect to the weight $t\psi$. We show that the boundary behavior of $K_{t\psi}(z)$ is determined by certain directional Lelong number of $\psi$ for all $t$ smaller than the John-Nirenberg exponent of $\psi$ associated to certain family of nonisotropic balls, which is always positive.

This paper is devoted to various applications of Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities. We derive a new $L^2$ estimate for the $\bar{\partial}-$equation on ${\mathbb C}^n$ which yields a quantitative generalization of the Hartogs extension theorem to the case when the singularity set is not necessary compact. We show that for any negative subharmonic function $\psi$ on ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n>2$, the BMO norm of $\log |\psi|$ is bounded above by $2\sqrt{n-2}$ and $|\psi|^\gamma$ satisfies a reverse H\"older inequality for every $0<\gamma<1$. We also show that every plurisubharmonic function is locally BMO. Several Liouville theorems for subharmonic functions on complete Riemannian manifolds are given. As a consequence, we get a Margulis type theorem that if a bounded domain in ${\mathbb C}^n$ covers a Zariski open set in a projective algebraic variety, then the group of deck transformations of the covering has trivial center., Comment: A $\partial\bar{\partial}-$proof of the Hartogs extension theorem for pluriharmonic functions is added
