We introduce a new ladder of function spaces which is shown to fill in the gap between the weak $L^{p\infty}$ spaces and the larger Morrey spaces, $M^p$. Our motivation for introducing these new spaces, denoted $\V^{pq}$, is to gain a more…

We prove $C^{1,\nu}$ regularity for local minimizers of the \oh{multi-phase} energy: \begin{flalign*} w \mapsto \int_{\Omega}\snr{Dw}^{p}+a(x)\snr{Dw}^{q}+b(x)\snr{Dw}^{s} \ dx, \end{flalign*} under sharp assumptions relating the couples…

In their seminal work (\cite{CC}, \cite{CC2}), Chen and Cheng proved apriori estimates for the constant scalar curvature metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds. They also proved $C^{3,\alpha}$ estimate for the potential of the \ka metrics…

We establish the convexity of Mabuchi's K-energy functional along weak geodesics in the space of Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold thus confirming a conjecture of Chen and give some applications in Kahler geometry, including a…

It was recently proved that the elastic energy $E(\gamma)=\tfrac{1}{2}\int_\gamma\kappa^2 ds$ of a closed curve $\gamma$ with curvature $\kappa$ has a minimizer among all plane, simple, regular and closed curves of given enclosed area…

We consider $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ minimizing a perturbation of the Dirichlet energy with vertical penalization in $\Omega$ and horizontal penalization on $\partial\Omega$. We first show the…

We rigorously show that a large family of monotone quantities along the weak inverse mean curvature flow is the limit case of the corresponding ones along the level sets of $p$-capacitary potentials. Such monotone quantities include…

We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…

We introduce different Finsler metrics on the space of smooth K\"ahler potentials that will induce a natural geometry on various finite energy classes $\mathcal E_{\tilde \chi}(X,\omega)$. Motivated by questions raised by R. Berman, V.…

Let $E_f$ be the energy of some knot $\tau$ for any $f$ from certain class of functions. The problem is to find knots with extremal values of energy. We discuss the notion of the locally perturbed knot. The knot circle minimizes some…

In this note we give a simplified proof of a recent result of X.X. Chen, which together with work of G. Szekelyhidi implies that on a sufficiently small deformation of a polarized constant scalar curvature Kahler manifold the K-energy has a…

We consider stationary $p$-Schr\"odinger equations on the whole space with integrable data and potentials that are confining in measure. We introduce asymptotic energy solutions in an asymptotic $L^p$ framework and establish existence and…

In this brief note we show that the integral Menger curvature $\mathcal{M}_{p}$ is finite for all simple polygons if and only if $p\in (0,3)$. For the intermediate energies $\mathcal{I}_{p}$ and $\mathcal{U}_{p}$ we obtain the analogous…

We establish Liouville theorems for global minimizers $u$ of the Allen-Cahn energy $$\int |\nabla u|^2 + W(u) \, dx,$$ which have subquadratic growth at infinity. In particular we extend the results of \cite{S1,S3} concerning the De…

This paper discusses the regularity of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing maps into the sphere. It shows that even at branched point, as long as the normalized energy is small enough, we have the energy decay estimate. Combined with the…

We consider a constrained minimal energy problem with an external field over noncompact classes of infinite dimensional vector measures on a locally compact space. The components are positive measures (charges) that are constrained from…

O'Hara introduced several functionals as knot energies. One of them is the M\"{o}bius energy. We know its M\"{o}bius invariance from Doyle-Schramm's cosine formula. It is also known that the M\"{o}bius energy was decomposed into three…

By introducing a new topology, a representation formula of the Gamma limit of the Kobayashi-Warren-Carter energy is given in a multi-dimensional domain. A key step is to study the Gamma limit of a single-well Modica-Mortola functional. The…
