We consider the question of quantitative stability of minimisers for a well-known variational problem for which the infimum of the energy is not achieved in the classical sense, namely for the Dirichlet energy of degree $1$ maps from closed…

Bousfield and Kan's $\mathbb{Q}$-completion and fiberwise $\mathbb{Q}$-completion of spaces lead to two different approaches to the rational homotopy theory of non-simply connected spaces. In the first approach, a map is a weak equivalence…

Critical points of approximations of the Dirichlet energy \`{a} la Sacks-Uhlenbeck are known to converge to harmonic maps in a suitable sense. However, we show that not every harmonic map can be approximated by critical points of such…

In this paper, we investigate critical maps of the horizontal energy functional $E_{H,\widetilde{H}}(f)$ for maps between two pseudo-Hermitian manifolds $(M^{2m+1},H(M),J,\theta )$ and $(N^{2n+1},\widetilde{H}(N),…

Let $G$ be a bounded open subset in the complex plane and let $H^{2}(G)$ denote the Hardy space on $G$. We call a bounded simply connected domain $W$ perfectly connected if the boundary value function of the inverse of the Riemann map from…

We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the lowest order cross-correlation, we introduce a hierarchy of…

Let $q>1$, $(1-\frac{1}{q})a\geq 1$ and let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be Lipschitz domain. We show that planar mappings in the second order Sobolev space $f\in W^{2,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^2)$ with $|J_f|^{-a}\in L^1(\Omega)$ are…

We show that wave maps $\phi$ from two-dimensional Minkowski space $\R^{1+2}$ to hyperbolic spaces $\H^m$ are globally smooth in time if the initial data is smooth, conditionally on some reasonable claims concerning the local theory of such…

For a given Finsler-Minkowski norm $\mathcal{F}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ $\big(N\geq 2\big)$, we establish the following weighted anisotropic Sobolev inequality $$ S\left(\int_{\Omega}|u|^q…

We derive estimates in a weighted Sobolev space $W^{k,p}_{\mu}(D)$ for a homotopy operator on a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain $D$ of $C^2$ boundary in ${\C}^n$. As a result, we show that given any $2n < p < \infty$, $k > 1$, $q \geq…

In this work we investigate the Sobolev space $\mathrm{H}^{1}(\partial\Omega)$ on a strong Lipschitz boundary $\partial\Omega$, i.e., $\Omega$ is a strong Lipschitz domain. In most of the literature this space is defined via charts and…

Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…
