Under suitable conditions on a family $(I(t))_{t\ge 0}$ of Lipschitz mappings on a complete metric space, we show that up to a subsequence the strong limit $S(t):=\lim_{n\to\infty}(I(t 2^{-n}))^{2^n}$ exists for all dyadic time points $t$,…

For manifolds with geodesic flow that is ergodic on the unit tangent bundle, the quantum ergodicity theorem implies that almost all Laplacian eigenfunctions become equidistributed as the eigenvalue goes to infinity. For a locally symmetric…

In this paper we present examples of nondivergence form second order elliptic operators with continuous coefficients such that $L$ has an irregular boundary point that is regular for the Laplacian. Also for any eigenvalue spread <1 of the…

Given two elliptic operators L and M in nondivergence form, with coefficients A_L(x), A_M(x) and drift terms b_L(x), b_M(x), respectively, satisfying a Carleson measure disagreement condition in a Lipschitz domain Omega in R^{n+1}, then…

For $\partial \Omega$ the boundary of a bounded and connected strongly Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with $d\geq3$, we prove that any field $f\in L^{2} (\partial \Omega ; \mathbb{R}^{d})$ decomposes, in an unique way, as the sum of…

In this paper, we analyze carefully the behaviour in $L^\infty(\mathbb R)$ of the square functions $S$ and $S_\mathcal I$'s, originating from ergodic theory. Firstly, we show that we can find some function $f\in L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$, such…

We present a theory of hypoellipticity and unique ergodicity for semilinear parabolic stochastic PDEs with "polynomial" nonlinearities and additive noise, considered as abstract evolution equations in some Hilbert space. It is shown that if…

We prove that solution operators of elliptic obstacle-type variational inequalities (or, more generally, locally Lipschitz continuous functions possessing certain pointwise-a.e. convexity properties) are Newton differentiable when…

We put together a general framework to deal with elliptic and parabolic equations associated with (nonlinear) nonlocal (fractional order) operators. Many well-known nonlocal operators enter into our framework, and in addition one may…

We prove that second order linear operators on $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ of the form $L(x,y,D_x,D_y) = L_1(x,D_x) + g(x) L_2(y,D_y)$, where $L_1$ and $L_2$ satisfy Morimoto's super-logarithmic estimates and $g$ is smooth, nonnegative, and vanishes…

We study the behavior of second-order degenerate elliptic systems in divergence form with random coefficients which are stationary and ergodic. Assuming moment bounds like Chiarini and Deuschel [Arxiv preprint 1410.4483, 2014] on the…

We show that Lipschitz solutions $u$ of $\mathrm{div}\, G(\nabla u)=0$ in $B_1\subset\mathbb R^2$ are $C^1$, for strictly monotone vector fields $G\in C^0(\mathbb R^2;\mathbb R^2)$ satisfying a mild ellipticity condition. If $G=\nabla F$…

Let $\omega$ be a closed, non-degenerate differential form of arbitrary degree. Associated to it there are an $L_{\infty}$-algebra of observables, and an $L_{\infty}$-algebra of sections of the higher Courant algebroid twisted by $\omega$.…

Let $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ be a markovian (resp. submarkovian) semigroup on some $\sigma$-finite measure space $(\Omega,\mu)$. We prove that its negative generator $A$ has a bounded $H^\infty(\Sigma_\theta)$ calculus on the weighted space…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts non-elementarily on a hyperbolic space $S$ and does not fix any point of $\partial S$. A subgroup $H\le G$ is said to be geometrically dense in $G$ if the limit sets of $H$ and $G$ coincide and $H$ does not fix…

For an elliptic, semilinear differential operator of the form $S(u) = A : D^2 u + b(x, u , Du)$, consider the functional $E_\infty(u) = \mathop{\mathrm{ess \, sup}}_\Omega |S(u)|$. We study minimisers of $E_\infty$ for prescribed boundary…
