In this paper, we prove a finite dimensional approximation scheme for the Wiener measure on closed Riemannian manifolds, establishing a generalization for $L^{1}$-functionals, of the approach followed by Andersson and Driver on [1]. We…
The Allen-Cahn action functional is related to the probability of rare events in the stochastically perturbed Allen-Cahn equation. Formal calculations suggest a reduced action functional in the sharp interface limit. We prove in two and…
We show convexity of solutions to a class of convex variational problems in the Gauss and in the Wiener space. An important tool in the proof is a representation formula for integral functionals in this infinite dimensional setting, that…
In \cite{n-p-noncentral}, Nourdin and Peccati established a neat characterization of Gamma approximation on a fixed Wiener chaos in terms of convergence of only the third and fourth cumulants. In this paper, we provide an optimal rate of…
Exploiting the special features of four-dimensional Riemannian geometry, we derive topological and rigidity results for hypersurfaces immersed in space forms of dimension 5. First, we provide a complete description of the Weyl tensor for…
On any metric space, I provide an intrinsic characterization of those complex-valued functions which are uniform limits of Lipschitz functions. There are applications to function theory on complete Riemannian manifolds and, in particular,…

We study sets of finite perimeter in Wiener space, and prove that at almost every point (with respect to the perimeter measure) a set of finite perimeter blows-up to a halfspace.
We study a non local approximation of the Gaussian perimeter, proving the Gamma convergence to the local one. Surprisingly, in contrast with the local setting, the halfspace turns out to be a volume constrained stationary point if and only…
The goal of this paper is to study the slow motion of solutions of the nonlocal Allen-Cahn equation in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, for $n > 1$. The initial data is assumed to be close to a configuration whose interface…
We present new abstract results on the interrelation between the minimizing movement scheme for gradient flows along a sequence of Gamma-converging functionals and the gradient flow motion for the corresponding limit functional, in a…
We extend almost everywhere convergence in Wiener-Wintner ergodic theorem for $\sigma$-finite measure to a generally stronger almost uniform convergence and present a larger, universal, space for which this convergence holds. We then extend…
We study minimizers of the Allen-Cahn system. We consider the $ \varepsilon $-energy functional with Dirichlet values and we establish the $ \Gamma $-limit. The minimizers of the limiting functional are closely related to minimizing…
In this paper, we study the relation between the second inner variations of the Allen-Cahn functional and its Gamma-limit, the area functional. Our result implies that the Allen-Cahn functional only approximates well the area functional up…
For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…
Quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the whole space Rn, onto itself normalized at one or two points are studied. In particular, the stability theory, the case when the maximal dilatation tends to 1, is in the focus. Our main result provides a…
We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.
We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first…
We develop a phase-field approximation of the relaxation of the perimeter functional in the plane under a connectedness constraint based on the classical Modica-Mortola functional and the connectedness constraint of (Dondl, Lemenant,…
We construct a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$ (arbitrarily close to the euclidean one) and a smooth simple closed curve $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^4$ such that the unique area minimizing surface spanned by $\Gamma$ has infinite…
