We study geometric variational problems for a class of effective models in quantum field theory known as Faddeev-Skyrme models. Mathematically one considers minimizing an energy functional on homotopy classes of maps from closed 3-manifolds…

We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $M \times M$ which are…

Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…

Let $q>1$, $(1-\frac{1}{q})a\geq 1$ and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be Lipschitz domain. We show that planar mappings in the second order Sobolev space $f\in W^{2,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^2)$ with $|J_f|^{-a}\in L^1(\Omega)$ are…

We investigate a Sobolev map $f$ from a finite dimensional RCD space $(X, \dist_X, \meas_X)$ to a finite dimensional non-collapsed compact RCD space $(Y, \dist_Y, \mathcal{H}^N)$. If the image $f(X)$ is smooth in a weak sense (which is…

Let X and Y be bounded multiply connected Lipschitz domains in \R^2. We consider the class H_p (X, Y) of homeomorphisms h : X -> Y in the Sobolev space W^{1,p} (X, \R^2). We prove that the weak and strong closures of H_p (X, Y), 2 \le p<…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

Given any $f$ a locally finitely piecewise affine homeomorphism of $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ onto $\Delta \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (for $d=3, 4$) such that $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^d)$ and $f^{-1}\in W^{1,q}(\Delta, \mathbb{R}^d)$,…

We show that under certain symmetry, the images of complete harmonic embeddings from the complex plane into the hyperbolic plane is completely determined by the geometric information of the vertical measured foliation and is independent of…

The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space $\operatorname{Diff}_{1}(\mathbb R)$ equipped with the homogenous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the…

We prove a Hopf bifurcation theorem in Hilbert spaces for abstract semilinear equations, which improves a classical result by Crandall and Rabinowitz in the case where basic spaces are Hilbert spaces. Actually, our theorem does not need any…

Let $F : H^q \to H^q$ be a $C^k$-map between Sobolev spaces, either on $\mathbb R^d$ or on a compact manifold. We show that equivariance of $F$ under the diffeomorphism group allows to trade regularity of $F$ as a nonlinear map for…

We show that for any smooth Hausdorff manifolds M and N, which are not necessarily second countable, paracompact or connected, any isomorphism from the algebra of smooth (real or complex) functions on N to the algebra of smooth functions on…

We endow the space of rooted planar trees with an structure of Hopf algebra. We prove that variations of such a structure lead to Hopf algebras on the spaces of labelled trees, $n$--trees, increasing planar trees and sorted trees. These…

We construct Hopf algebra isomorphisms of discrete multiplier Hopf C*-algebras, and Hopf AF C*-algebras (generalized quantum UHF algebras), from K-theoretical data. Some of the intermediate results are of independent interest, such as a…

We develop a notion of covariant differential calculus for Hopf algebroids. As a byproduct, we prove analogues of the fundamental theorem of Hopf modules and a Takeuchi-Schneider equivalence in the realm of Hopf algebroids. The resulting…

We describe a bigraded cocommutative Hopf algebra structure on the weight zero compactly supported rational cohomology of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. By relating the primitives for the coproduct to graph…

In this paper we construct a new family of harmonic morphisms $\varphi:V^5\to\s^2$, where $V^5$ is a 5-dimensional open manifold contained in an ellipsoidal hypersurface of $\c^4=\r^8$. These harmonic morphisms admit a continuous extension…
