Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and $f_k \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms weakly converging to $f \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$. It is known that if $s=1$ and $p > n-1$ then $f$ is…

We investigate some of the effects of the lack of compactness in the critical Folland-Stein-Sobolev embedding in very general (possible non-smooth) domains, by proving via De Giorgi's $\Gamma$-convergence techniques that optimal functions…

We establish the existence of weak global solutions of the half-wave maps equation with the target $S^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^{1+1}$ with large initial data in $\dot{H}^1 \cap \dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}}(\mathbb{R})$. We first prove the global…

Topological orders in 2+1d are spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases of 1-form symmetries in pure states. The notion of symmetry is further enriched in the context of mixed states, where a symmetry can be either ``strong" or ``weak".…

Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…

Brezis and Mironescu have announced several years ago that for a compact manifold $N^n \subset \mathbb{R}^\nu$ and for real numbers $0 < s < 1$ and $1 \le p < \infty$ the class $C^\infty(\overline{Q}^m; N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with…

We consider triholomorphic maps from an almost hyper-Hermitian manifold $\mathcal{M}^{4m}$ into a hyperK\"ahler manifold $\mathcal{N}^{4n}$. This means that $u \in W^{1,2}$ satisfies a quaternionic del-bar equation. We work under the…

We prove the existence of weak solutions in the space of energy for a class of non-linear Schroedinger equations in the presence of a external rough magnetic potential. Under our assumptions it is not possible to study the problem by means…

Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(\mu,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker…

Weak similarities form a special class of mappings between semimetric spaces. Two semimetric spaces $X$ and $Y$ are weakly similar if there exists a weak similarity $\Phi\colon X\to Y$. We find a structural characteristic of finite…

We establish spherical variants of the Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko and Kowalski-S{\l}odkowski theorems, and we apply them to prove that every weak-2-local isometry between two uniform algebras is a linear map. Among the consequences, we solve a…

Energy minimizing maps (E.M.M.s) play a central role in the calculus of variations, partial differential equations (PDEs), and geometric analysis. These maps are often embedded into $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifolds to minimize the Dirichlet…

We establish a sharp Sobolev trace inequality on the Siegel domain $\Omega_{n+1}$ involving the weighted norm-$W^{2,2}(\Omega_{n+1}, \rho^{1-2[\gamma]})$. The inequality is closely related the realization of fractional powers of the…

Let $(S,h)$ be a closed hyperbolic surface and $M$ be a quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifold. We consider incompressible maps from $S$ to $M$ that are critical points of an energy functional $F$ which is homogeneous of degree $1$. These "minimizing"…

First we study in detail the tensorization properties of weak gradients in metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$. Then, we compare potentially different notions of Sobolev space $H^{1,1}(X,d,m)$ and of weak gradient with exponent 1. Eventually we…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

We prove that if $M$ and $N$ are Riemannian, oriented $n$-dimensional manifolds without boundary and additionally $N$ is compact, then Sobolev mappings $W^{1,n}(M,N)$ of finite distortion are continuous. In particular, $W^{1,n}(M,N)$…

We identify the restricted class of attainable effective deformations in a model of reinforced composites with parallel, long, and fully rigid fibers embedded in an elastic body. In mathematical terms, we characterize the weak limits of…

It is shown that the data to solution map for the hyperelastic rod equation is H\"older continuous from bounded sets of Sobolev spaces with exponent $s > 3/2$ measured in a weaker Sobolev norm with index $r < s$ in both the periodic and…

This paper generalizes the results of [13] and then provides an interesting example. We construct a family of $W$-like maps $\{W_a\}$ with a turning fixed point having slope $s_1$ on one side and $-s_2$ on the other. Each $W_a$ has an…
