It is shown that $u_k \cdot v_k$ converges weakly to $u\cdot v$ if $u_k\weakto u$ weakly in $L^p$ and $v_k\weakly v$ weakly in $L^q$ with $p, q\in (1,\infty)$, $1/p+1/q=1$, under the additional assumptions that the sequences $\Div u_k$ and…

Every harmonic map is an intrinsic bi-harmonic map as an absolute minimizer of the intrinsic bi-energy functional, therefore intrinsic bi-harmonic map and its heat flow are more geometrically natural to study, but they are also considerably…

For stationary harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform interior and boundary gradient estimates in terms of the total energy of maps. We also show that if analytic target…

The aim of the paper is to introduce an alternative notion of two-scale convergence which gives a more natural modeling approach to the homogenization of partial differential equations with periodically oscillating coefficients: while…

Consider the space $W^{2,2}(\Omega;N)$ of second order Sobolev mappings $\ v\ $ from a smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^m$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $N$ whose Hessian energy $\int_\Omega |\nabla^2 v|^2\, dx$ is finite. Here we are…

We prove that the singular set of an energy-minimizing map from Euclidean space into an $F$-connected complex is $(m-2)$-rectifiable. This strengthens the regularity result of Gromov and Schoen.

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

Assume that $p\in(1,\infty]$ and $u=P_{h}[\phi]$, where $\phi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\mathbb{R}^{n})$. Then for any $x\in \mathbb{B}^{n}$, we obtain the sharp inequalities $$ |u(x)|\leq…

In this paper we prove quantitative regularity results for stationary and minimizing extrinsic biharmonic maps. As an application, we determine sharp, dimension independent $L^p$ bounds for $\nabla^k f$ that do not require a small energy…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be an Ahlfors-David regular set of dimension $n$. We show that the weak-$A_\infty$ property of harmonic measure, for the open set $\Omega:= \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$, implies uniform…

We provide a complete characterization of those non-elliptic semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc for which the linear span of eigenvectors of the generator of the corresponding semigroup of composition operators is…

In this manuscript, we delve into the study of maps $u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega;\overline M)$ that minimize the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional $$ \int_\Omega (|Du|^2 + q^2 \chi_{u^{-1}(M)})\,dx, $$ under the condition that the image $u(\Omega)$…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…

We introduce the complete lifts of maps between (real and complex) Euclidean spaces and study their properties concerning holomorphicity, harmonicity and horizontal weakly conformality. As applications, we are able to use this concept to…

We investigate the blow-up analysis and quantitative behavior for a sequence of maps $\{u_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ from degenerating tori $(T^2,g_n)$ or from degenerating cylinders $(S^1\times [0,\pi],g_n)$ with free boundary conditions…

Let $\Sigma$ a closed $n$-dimensional manifold, $\mathcal{N} \subset \mathbb{R}^M$ be a closed manifold, and $u \in W^{s,\frac ns}(\Sigma,\mathcal{N})$ for $s\in(0,1)$. We extend the monumental work of Sacks and Uhlenbeck by proving that if…

We prove that the standard half-harmonic map $U:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{S}^1$ defined by \begin{equation*} x\to \begin{pmatrix} \frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1} \frac{-2x}{x^2+1} \end{pmatrix} \end{equation*} is nondegenerate in the sense that all bounded…

We study $s$-dependence for minimizing $W^{s,n/s}$-harmonic maps $u\colon \mathbb{S}^n \to \mathbb{S}^\ell$ in homotopy classes. Sacks--Uhlenbeck theory shows that, for each $s$, minimizers exist in a generating subset of…

We study the topology of the space of harmonic maps from $S^2$ to \CP 2$. We prove that the subspaces consisting of maps of a fixed degree and energy are path connected. By a result of Guest and Ohnita it follows that the same is true for…
