We consider two special classes of $k$-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds which are related to calibrated geometry, satisfying a first order fully nonlinear PDE. The first is a special type of weakly conformal map $u \colon (L^k, g)…

In this thesis, I study a two-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the weak coupling limit. Quite generally, the electron gas is unstable towards a superconducting state even in the absence of phonons. However in the special case of a…

Let $\mathbb C$ be the complex plane, $E$ be a measurable subset in a segment $[0, R]$ of the positive semiaxis $\mathbb R^+$, $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on $\mathbb C$. The main result of this article is an upper…

We review the current state of results about the half-wave maps equation on the domain $\mathbb{R}^d$ with target $\mathbb{S}^2$. In particular, we focus on the energy-critical case $d=1$, where we discuss the classification of traveling…

We classify all harmonic maps with finite uniton number from a Riemann surface into an arbitrary compact simple Lie group $G$, whether $G$ has trivial centre or not, in terms of certain pieces of the Bruhat decomposition of the group…

We present full-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and polarized synchrotron and thermal dust emission, derived from the third set of Planck frequency maps. These products have significantly lower contamination from…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

We propose a novel meshless method to compute harmonic maps and conformal maps for surfaces embedded in the Euclidean 3-space, using point cloud data only. Given a surface, or a point cloud approximation, we simply use the standard cubic…

We study the following semilinear biharmonic equation $$ \left\{\begin{array}{lllllll} \Delta^{2}u=\frac{\lambda}{1-u}, &\quad \mbox{in}\quad \B, u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=0, &\quad \mbox{on}\quad \partial\B, \end{array} \right.…

We study functions of least gradient as well as related superminimizers and solutions of obstacle problems in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincar\'e inequality. We show a standard weak Harnack…

In their seminal 1981 article, Sacks-Uhlenbeck famously proved the existence of non-trivial harmonic 2-spheres in every closed Riemannian manifold with non-zero second homotopy group. Their arguments heavily rely on PDE techniques. The…

We investigate novel structures which arise from the compactification of vacuumless kinks in scalar field models coupled to impurities that preserve half the BPS sectors, described by first-order equations. We also investigate the behavior…

J. Eells and L. Lemaire introduced k-harmonic maps, and Wang Shaobo showed the first variational formula. When, k=2, it is called biharmonic maps (2-harmonic maps). There have been extensive studies in the area. In this paper, we consider…

For an harmonic map $u$ from a domain $U\subset{\rm X}$ in an ${\sf RCD}(K,N)$ space ${\rm X}$ to a ${\sf CAT}(0)$ space ${\rm Y}$ we prove the Lipschitz estimate \[ {\rm Lip}(u|_B)\leq \frac {C(K^-R^2,N)}r\inf_{{\sf o}\in {\rm…

We explain how to apply techniques from integrable systems to construct $2k$-soliton homoclinic wave maps from the periodic Minkowski space $S^1\times R^1$ to a compact Lie group, and more generally to a compact symmetric space. We give a…

We prove that the solution map associated with the $1D$ half-wave cubic equation in the periodic setting cannot be uniformly continuous on bounded sets of the periodic Sobolev spaces $H^s$ with $s\in (1/4, 1/2)$

In this article, we use the harmonic sequence associated to a weakly conformal harmonic map $f:S\to S^6$ in order to determine explicit examples of linearly full almost complex 2-spheres of $S^6$ with at most two singularities. We prove…

In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…

This article addresses the regularity issue for stationary or minimizing fractional harmonic maps into spheres of order $s\in(0,1)$ in arbitrary dimensions. It is shown that such fractional harmonic maps are $C^\infty$ away from a small…

We explore geometric aspects of bubble convergence for harmonic maps. More precisely, we show that the formation of bubbles is characterised by the local excess of curvature on the target manifold. We give a universal estimate for curvature…
