We are studying the harmonic and twistor equation on Lorentzian surfaces, that is a two dimensional orientable manifold with a metric of signature $(1,1)$. We will investigate the properties of the solutions of these equations and try to…
Normal form theory is developed deeply for planar smooth systems but has few results for piecewise-smooth systems because difficulties arise from continuity of the near-identity transformation, which is constructed piecewise. In this paper,…
Quasiconformal maps in the plane are orientation preserving homeomorphisms that satisfy certain distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses of bounded eccentricity. Such maps have many useful geometric distortion…
The paper gives a wide range, uniform, local approximation of symmetric binomial distribution. The result clearly shows how one has to modify the the classical de Moivre--Laplace normal approximation in order to give an estimate at the tail…
For every $2 < p < 3$, we show that $u \in W^{1,p}(B^3; S^2)$ can be strongly approximated by maps in $C^\infty(\Bar{B}^3; S^2)$ if, and only if, the distributional Jacobian of $u$ vanishes identically. This result was originally proved by…
Let X and Y be planar Jordan domains of the same finite connectivity, Y being inner chordarc regular (such are Lipschitz domains). Every homeomorphism h:X->Y in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ extends to a continuous map between closed domains.…
In this article we consider area preserving diffeomorphisms of planar domains, and we are interested in their conformal points, i.e., points at which the derivative is a similarity. We present some conditions that guarantee existence of…
We prove the higher-dimensional analogue of Wolff's local smoothing estimate (Geom. Funct. Anal. 2001) for large p. As in the 2+1-dimensional case, the estimate is sharp for any given value of p, but it is likely that the range of p can be…
We investigate strongly symmetric homeomorphisms of the real line which appear in harmonic analysis aspects of quasiconformal Teichm\"uller theory. An element in this class can be characterized by a property that it can be extended…
We introduce a new regularizer in the total variation family that promotes reconstructions with a given Lipschitz constant (which can also vary spatially). We prove regularizing properties of this functional and investigate its connections…
This is the first paper of two ones. Here we prove that two compact Alexandrov surfaces of bounded integral curvature having no peak points are bi-Lipschitz equivalent if they are homeomorphic one to the other. Also conditions under that…
Let $X$ be a topological space. A subset of $C(X)$, the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$, is a partially ordered set in the pointwise order. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces, and $A(X)$ and $A(Y)$ are subsets…
We show that fiber-preserving quasisymmetric maps are biLipschitz. As an application, we show that quasisymmetric maps on Carnot groups with reducible first stratum are biLipschitz.
We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…
We give a direct harmonic approximation lemma for local minima of quasiconvex multiple integrals that entails their $\mathrm{C}^{1,\alpha}$ or $\mathrm{C}^{\infty}$-partial regularity. Different from previous contributions, the method is…
We show that small bi-Lipschitz deformations of a Lipschitz domain (with possibly large Lipschitz constant) preserve the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian with boundary data in $L^p$, for the same value of $p>1$. As a…
We consider discontinuous perturbations of smooth endomorphisms and show that if the perturbed family satisfies uniform mixing assumptions on standard pairs the physical measure is Lipschitz in the parameter defying the perturbation. We…
In this paper we give results about projective embeddings of Riemann surfaces, smooth or nodal, which we apply to the inverse Dirichlet-to-Neumann problem and to the inversion of a Riemann-Klein theorem. To produce useful embeddings, we…
Let D be a planar Lipschitz domain and consider the Beurling transform of the characteristic function of D, B(1_D). Let 1<p<\infty and 0<a<1 with ap>1. In this paper we show that if the outward unit normal N on bD, the boundary of D,…
For any $p\in[1,\infty]$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in $L^p$ for all $k\geq 1$. We introduce the class of uniformly approximable subsets of $L^p$, which is larger than the…
