In this paper, we prove the existence of energy minimizers in each free homotopy class of maps between polyhedra with target space without focal points. Our proof involves a careful study of some geometric properties of riemannian polhyedra…
Using the generalized Young measure theory, we extend the theory of Young measure solutions to a class of quasilinear parabolic equations with linear growth, and introduce the concept of generalized Young measure solutions. We prove the…
We consider a thin elastic sheet with a finite number of disclinations in a variational framework in the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an approximation. Under the non-physical assumption that the out-of-plane displacement is a convex function, we…
The difference variational bicomplex, which is the natural setting for systems of difference equations, is constructed and used to examine the geometric and algebraic properties of various systems. Exactness of the bicomplex gives a…
We prove that polyharmonic maps of arbitrary order from complete nonparabolic Riemannian manifolds to arbitrary Riemannian manifolds must be harmonic if certain smallness and integrability conditions hold.
In this note we prove that in a metric measure space $(X, d, m)$ verifying the measure contraction property with parameters $K \in \mathbb{R}$ and $1< N< \infty$, any optimal transference plan between two marginal measures is induced by an…
Multiplicative noise arises in inverse problems when, for example, uncertainty on measurements is proportional to the size of the measurement itself. The likelihood that arises is hence more complicated than that from additive noise. We…
We consider any Finsler metric on a closed, orientable surface of genus greater than one. H. M. Morse proved that we can associate an asymptotic direction to minimal rays in the universal cover (in the Poincar\'e disc: a point on the unit…
How can one lift a functional defined on maps from a space X to a space Y into a functional defined on maps from X into P(Y) the space of probability distributions over Y? Looking at measure-valued maps can be interpreted as knowing a…
We study the Peierls barrier for a broad class of monotone variational problems. These problems arise naturally in solid state physics and from Hamiltonian twist maps. We start with the case of a fixed local potential and derive an estimate…
We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.
A connection between the Yang-Baxter relation for maps and the multi-dimensional consistency property of integrable equations on quad-graphs is investigated. The approach is based on the symmetry analysis of the corresponding equations. It…
We investigate the geometric constraints imposed by low Morse index on minimal surfaces with Y-singularities, focusing on the classification of those with Morse index one. Our rigidity result establishes a partial uniqueness theorem,…
This paper proves some results concerning the polar factorisation of an integrable vector-valued function u into the composition of the gradient of a convex function with a measure-preserving mapping. Not every integrable function has a…
Building upon earlier work in which axioms were formulated for multivariate measures of concordance, we examine properties of such measures. In particular, we examine the relations between the measure of concordance of an $n$-copula and the…
Consider a piecewise affine Lipschitz map $\phi : \Omega \to \mathbb R$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ is an open set, and assume that $x \mapsto x + t \nabla \phi(x)$ is injective for almost every $t > 0$. In (J.-G. Liu, R.~L. Pego,…
A comprehensive theory of the effect of Orlicz-Sobolev maps, between Euclidean spaces, on subsets with zero or finite Hausdorff measure is offered. Arbitrary Orlicz-Sobolev spaces embedded into the space of continuous function and Hausdorff…
The quasi-variational inequalities play a significant role in analyzing a wide range of real-world problems. However, these problems are more complicated to solve than variational inequalities as the constraint set is based on the current…

To any Young diagram we can associate the multiset of residues of all its nodes. This paper is concerned with the inverse problem: given a multiset of elements of Z/eZ, does it comes from a Young diagram? We give a full solution in level…
