Some trace inequalities for exponential and logarithmic functions

Eric A. Carlen, Elliott H. Lieb

Consider a function of pairs of positive matrices with values in the positive matrices such that whenever and commute Our first main result gives…

Nematic liquid crystal phase in a system of interacting dimers and monomers

Ian Jauslin, Elliott H. Lieb

We consider a monomer-dimer system with a strong attractive dimer-dimer interaction that favors alignment. In 1979, Heilmann and Lieb conjectured that this model should exhibit a n…

Statistical Mechanics of the Uniform Electron Gas

Mathieu Lewin, Elliott H. Lieb, Robert Seiringer

In this paper we define and study the classical Uniform Electron Gas (UEG), a system of infinitely many electrons whose density is constant everywhere in space. The UEG is defined…

Norms of quantum Gaussian multi-mode channels

Rupert L. Frank, Elliott H. Lieb

We compute the norm of a general Gaussian gauge-covariant multi-mode channel for any , where is a Schatten space. As…

A dual form of the sharp Nash inequality and its weighted generalization

Eric A. Carlen, Elliott H. Lieb

The well known duality between the Sobolev inequality and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality suggests that the Nash inequality could also have an interesting dual form, even t…

Local incompressibility estimates for the Laughlin phase

Elliott Lieb, Nicolas Rougerie, Jakob Yngvason

We prove sharp density upper bounds on optimal length-scales for the ground states of classical 2D Coulomb systems and generalizations thereof. Our method is new, based on an auxil…
