In this manuscript, we delve into the study of maps $u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega;\overline M)$ that minimize the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional $$ \int_\Omega (|Du|^2 + q^2 \chi_{u^{-1}(M)})\,dx, $$ under the condition that the image $u(\Omega)$…
Consider a polarized complex manifold (X,L) and a ray of positive metrics on L defined by a positive metric on a test configuration for (X,L). For most of the common functionals in K\"ahler geometry, we prove that the slope at infinity…
The classical Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem implies that the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a set in Euclidean space with non-negligible d-unrectifiable part will strictly decrease under orthogonal projection onto almost every…
Given two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$, we consider the energy concentration phenomena of the penalized energy functional $$E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{\vert\nabla u\vert^2}{2}+\frac{F(u)}{\epsilon^2},u\in…
For the unit sphere S^d in Euclidean space R^(d+1), we show that for d-1<s<d and any N>1, discrete N-point minimal Riesz s-energy configurations are well separated in the sense that the minimal distance between any pair of distinct points…
We study the Hamiltonian of a two-dimensional log-gas with a confining potential $V$ satisfying the weak growth assumption -- $V$ is of the same order than $2\log|x|$ near infinity -- considered by Hardy and Kuijlaars [J. Approx. Theory,…
Bounds are obtained for the efficiency or mean to peak ratio $E(\Omega)$ for the first Dirichlet eigenfunction (positive) for open, connected sets $\Omega$ with finite measure in Euclidean space $\R^m$. It is shown that (i) localisation…
We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on $[0,1]^{d}$. Let $E_f({h}) $ be the set of points at which $f$ has a pointwise exponent equal to $h$. We first obtain general upper bounds for the…
It has been well known that if $\Omega$ is a bounded $C^1$-domain in $\R^n,\ n \ge 2$, then for every Radon measure $f$ on $\Omega$ with finite total variation, there exists a unique weak solution $u\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega )$ of the Poisson…
Energy minimizing maps (E.M.M.s) play a central role in the calculus of variations, partial differential equations (PDEs), and geometric analysis. These maps are often embedded into $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifolds to minimize the Dirichlet…
In this paper we shall assume that the ambient manifold is a space form $N^{m+1}(c)$ and we shall consider polyharmonic hypersurfaces of order $r$ (briefly, $r$-harmonic), where $r\geq 3$ is an integer. For this class of hypersurfaces we…
We prove that the spacetime singular set of any suitable Leray-Hopf solution of the surface quasigeostrophic equation with fractional dissipation of order $0< \alpha < \frac{1}{2}$ has Hausdorff dimension at most $\frac{1}{2\alpha^2}\,.$…
The quasilocal energy associated with a constant stationary time slice of the Kerr spacetime is presented. The calculations are based on a recent proposal \cite{by} in which quasilocal energy is derived from the Hamiltonian of spatially…
In this paper geometric properties of infinitely renormalizable real H\'enon-like maps $F$ in $\R^2$ are studied. It is shown that the appropriately defined renormalizations $R^n F$ converge exponentially to the one-dimensional…
The Hausdorff dimension of a set can be detected using the Riesz energy. Here, we consider situations where a sequence of points, $\{x_n\}$, ``fills in'' a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ in an appropriate sense and investigate the degree to…
The goal of this article is to draw new applications of small scale quantum ergodicity in nodal sets of eigenfunctions. We show that if quantum ergodicity holds on balls of shrinking radius $r(\lambda) \to 0$, then one can achieve…
We consider the minimization of an energy functional given by the sum of a crystalline perimeter and a nonlocal interaction of Riesz type, under volume constraint. We show that, in the small mass regime, if the Wulff shape of the…
We employ the Riesz transform as a means for describing geometric properties of sets in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, and study the extent to which they can be used to characterize function spaces defined on said sets. In particular, characterizations…
In this paper, we generalize the notion of relative $p$-capacity of $K$ with respect to $\Omega$, by replacing the Dirichlet boundary condition with a Robin one. We show that, under volume constraints, our notion of $p$-capacity is minimal…
