Using the Mountain--Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz we prove that $-\Delta_p u-\mu|x|^{-p}{u^{p-1}}=|x|^{-s}{u^{\crits-1}}+u^{\crit-1}$ admits a positive weak solution in $\rn$ of class $\dunp\cap C^1(\rn\setminus\{0\})$, whenever…
We investigate the existence of positive solutions to fractional equations presenting a double criticality: a multi-polar Hardy-type potential and a Sobolev critical nonlinearity. The nonlocal nature of the operator and the absence of…
Recently, Scullard and Ziff noticed that a broad class of planar percolation models are self-dual under a simple condition that, in a parametrized version of such a model, reduces to a single equation. They state that the solution of the…
We give a characterization for the extreme points of the convex set of correlation matrices with a countable index set. A Hermitian matrix is called a correlation matrix if it is positive semidefinite with unit diagonal entries. Using the…

There has been much discussion in the literature about rival measures of classical polarization in three dimensions. We gather and compare the various proposed measures of polarization, creating a geometric representation of the…
In this paper we prove the existence of a signed ground state solution in the mountain pass level for a class of asymptotically linear elliptic problems, even when the nonlinearity is just continuous in the second variable. The (strongly)…
A nonperturbative analytical description of the SU(2)_1 quantum critical point in an explicitly dimerized two-leg spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladder is presented. It is shown that this criticality essentially coincides with that emerging in a…
Piecewise-linear (PL) Morse theory and discrete Morse theory are used in shape analysis tasks to investigate the topological features of discretized spaces. In spite of their common origin in smooth Morse theory, various notions of critical…
