We give some generic properties of non degeneracy for critical points of functionals. We apply these results, obtaining some theorems of multiplicity of solutions for the equation -{\epsilon}^2\Delta_g u+u=|u|p-2u in M, u in H_g^1(M) where…

Spinor gravity is a functional integral formulation of gravity based only on fundamental spinor fields. The vielbein and metric arise as composite objects. Due to the lack of local Lorentz-symmetry new invariants in the effective…

The binormal flow is a model for the dynamics of a vortex filament in a 3-D inviscid incompressible fluid. The flow is also related with the classical continuous Heisenberg model in ferromagnetism, and the 1-D cubic Schr\"odinger equation.…

The study of higher order energy functionals was first proposed by Eells and Sampson in 1965 and, later, by Eells and Lemaire in 1983. These functionals provide a natural generalization of the classical energy functional. More precisely,…
