This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator related to the square root Laplacian as defined…

In this work we are going to establish H\"older continuity of harmonic maps from an open set $\Omega$ in an ${\rm RCD}(K,N)$ space valued into a ${\rm CAT}(\kappa)$ space, with the constraint that the image of $\Omega$ via the map is…

In this paper, we extend the celebrated global regularity theory of Naber-Valtorta [Ann. Math. 2017] to 1/2-harmonic mappings into manifolds. Inspired by their work, we first adapt Lin's defect measure theory [Ann. Math. 1999] to such maps…

We prove that for any two closed Riemannian manifolds $M^{2m}$ ($m\geq 1$) and $N$, there exists a minimizing (extrinsic) $m$-polyharmonic map for every free homotopy class in $[M^{2m}, N]$, provided that the homotopy group $\pi_{2m}(N)$ is…

Let $\varphi\in C^0 \cap W^{1,2}(\Sigma, X)$ where $\Sigma$ is a compact Riemann surface, $X$ is a compact locally CAT(1) space, and $W^{1,2}(\Sigma,X)$ is defined as in Korevaar-Schoen. We use the technique of harmonic replacement to prove…

We show the existence of non-trivial self-expanding harmonic map flows starting from non-energy-minimizing 0-homogeneous maps to a regular ball or a closed hemisphere. In particular, given a non-minimizing but stationary 0-homogeneous…

For $n\ge 5$ and $k\ge 4$, we show that any minimizing biharmonic map from $\Omega\subset R^n$ to $S^k$ is smooth off a closed set whose Hausdorff dimension is at most $n-5$. When $n=5$ and $k=4$, for a parameter $\lambda\in [0,1]$ we…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ denote the set of all univalent analytic functions $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ on the unit disk $|z|<1$. In 1946 B. Friedman found that the set $\mathcal S$ of those functions which have integer coefficients…

We study Dirac-harmonic maps from degenerating spin surfaces with uniformly bounded energy and show the so-called generalized energy identity in the case that the domain converges to a spin surface with only Neveu-Schwarz type nodes. We…

Given two measurable functions $V(r)\geq 0$ and $K(r)> 0$, $r>0$, we define the weighted spaces \[ H_V^1 = \{u \in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N): \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(|x|)u^{2}dx < \infty \}, \quad L_K^q = L^q(\mathbb{R}^N,K(|x|)dx) \] and study…

The aim of this paper is to give a new proof that any very weak $s$-harmonic function $u$ in the unit ball $B$ is smooth. As a first step, we improve the local summability properties of $u$. Then, we exploit a suitable version of the…

In this work, we generalize Sacks-Uhlenbeck's existence result for harmonic spheres, constructing for $n \ge 2$, regular, non-trivial, $n$-harmonic $n$-spheres into suitable target manifolds. We obtain an infinite family of new…

In 1996, Shi generalized the epsilon-regularity theorem of Schoen and Uhlenbeck to energy-minimizing harmonic maps from a domain equipped with a bounded measurable Riemannian metric. In the present work we prove a compactness result for…

In this paper, we prove estimates and quantitative regularity results for the harmonic map flow. First, we consider H^1_loc-maps u defined on a parabolic ball P\subset M\times R and with target manifold N, that have bounded Dirichlet-energy…

We consider critical points $u:\Omega\to N$ of the bi-energy \[ \int_\Omega |\Delta u|^2\,d x, \] where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ is a bounded smooth domain of dimension $m\ge 5$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$ a compact submanifold without…

Capacitary measures form a class of measures that vanish on sets of capacity zero. These measures are compact with respect to so-called $\gamma$-convergence, which relates a sequence of measures to the sequence of solutions of relaxed…

We establish small energy H\"{o}lder bounds for minimizers $u_\varepsilon$ of \[E_\varepsilon (u):=\int_\Omega W(\nabla u)+ \frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \int_\Omega f(u),\] where $W$ is a positive definite quadratic form and the potential $f$…

We construct explicit examples of $p$-harmonic maps $u:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^N$. These are more irregular than the previously known examples and thus provide new upper bounds for the regularity of $p$-harmonic maps, including the case…

We provide a fine description of the weak limit of sequences of regular axisymmetric maps with equibounded neo-Hookean energy, under the assumption that they have finite surface energy. We prove that these weak limits have a dipole…
