We consider the problem $-\Delta u+\lambda u=u^{p-1}$, where $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ verifies $\|u\|_{L^2}=m>0$, and $\lambda\in [0,+\infty)$. Here, $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega$ is nonempty and compact. We prove the existence of a solution…

We determine those smooth $n$--dimensional closed manifolds with $n \geq 4$ which admit round fold maps into ${\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}$, i.e.\ fold maps whose critical value sets consist of disjoint spheres of dimension $n-2$ isotopic to…

In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…

We prove that all positive solutions of $-\Delta u = u^{\frac{2n}{n-2}}$ on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}^n_{+}$ (for $n \geq 3$) satisfying the boundary condition $D_{x_n}u = -u^{\frac{n}{n-2}}$ are of the form $u(x) = a \left(…
