We prove that if the minors of degree $k$ of a Sobolev map $\mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$ are smooth then the map is smooth, when $k,d$ are not both even. We use this result to derive a simple, self-contained proof of the famous Liouville…
We consider a generalization of wave maps based on the Adkins-Nappi model of nuclear physics. In particular, we show that solutions to this equation remain continuous at the origin, which is a first step towards establishing a regularity…
In this article, we give a completely constructive proof of the observability/controllability of the wave equation on a compact manifold under optimal geometric conditions. This contrasts with the original proof of Bardos-Lebeau-Rauch,…
Analysis on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ found many applications in seismology, weather prediction, astrophysics, signal analysis, crystallography, computer vision, computerized tomography, neuroscience, and statistics. In the last two…
We propose a way -- universal wave function overlap -- to extract universal topological data from generic ground states of gapped systems in any dimensions. Those extracted topological data should fully characterize the topological orders…
On compact Riemannian manifolds with chaotic geometries, specifically those exhibiting the random wave model conjectured by Berry, we derive heuristically a homogeneous kinetic wave equation that is universal for all such manifolds.
We define the concept of regularity for bigraded modules and bigraded polynomial ring. In this setting we prove analogs of some of the classical results on $m$-regularity for graded modules over polynomial algebras.
Given a positive function F on Sn which satisfies a convexity condition, we introduce the r-th anisotropic mean curvature Mr for hypersurfaces in Rn+1 which is a generalization of the usual r-th mean curvature Hr. We get integral formulas…
In their seminal 1981 article, Sacks-Uhlenbeck famously proved the existence of non-trivial harmonic 2-spheres in every closed Riemannian manifold with non-zero second homotopy group. Their arguments heavily rely on PDE techniques. The…
We consider polyharmonic maps $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow $\mathbb{E}^n$ of order k from a complete Riemannian manifold into the Euclidean space and let $p$ be a real constant satisfying $1<p<\infty$. (i) If, $\int_M|W^{k-1}|^p dv_g<\infty,$ and…
We show that if $M^n$ is a properly immersed, two-sided, stable minimal hypersurface in $B^{n+1}_1(0)\setminus S$, where $S$ is closed with $\mathcal{H}^{n-2}(S)=0$, then $\text{dim}_{\mathcal{H}}\text{sing}(M)\leq n-7$, namely…
We study harmonic maps from degenerating Riemann surfaces with uniformly bounded energy and show the so-called generalized energy identity. We find conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for the compactness in $W^{1,2}$ and…
In this paper we prove a compactness theorem for a sequence of harmonic maps which are defined on a converging sequence of Riemannian manifolds.
This article represents the second installment of a series of papers concerned with low regularity solutions for the water wave equations in two space dimensions. Our focus here is on global solutions for small and localized data. Such…
The Macbeath-Hurwitz maps $M$ of type $\{3,7\}$, obtained from the Hurwitz groups $G={\rm PSL}_2(q)$ found by Macbeath, are fully regular by a result of Singerman, with automorphism group $G\times{\rm C}_2$ or ${\rm PGL}_2(q)$. Hall's…
In a recent paper the author introduced a new method based on viscosity techniques for producing minimal surfaces by minmax arguments. The present work corresponds to the regularity part of the method. Precisely we establish that any weakly…
This paper is devoted to the study of a problem arising from a geometric context, namely the conformal deformation of a Riemannian metric to a scalar flat one having constant mean curvature on the boundary. By means of blow-up analysis…
Given a conformally variational scalar Riemannian invariant $I$, we identify a sufficient condition for a compact Riemannian manifold to admit finite regular coverings with many nonhomothetic conformal rescalings with $I$ constant. We also…
We discuss the $(1+1)$-dimensional wave maps equation with values in a compact Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$. Motivated by the Gibbs measure problem, we consider Brownian paths on the manifold $\mathcal{M}$ as initial data. Our main…
We get a local existence result in $H^s$ with $s>3/2$ for second order quasilinear wave equation with radial initial data in 2+1 dimensions, based on an improvement of Strichartz estimate in the radial case. Moreover, we get the…
