In this paper we prove weak L^{1,p} (and thus C^{\alpha}) compactness for the class of uniformly mean-convex Riemannian n-manifolds with boundary satisfying bounds on curvature quantities, diameter, and (n-1)-volume of the boundary. We…

We establish sharp boundary regularity estimates in $C^1$ and $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains for nonlocal problems of the form $Lu=f$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ in $\Omega^c$. Here, $L$ is a nonlocal elliptic operator of order $2s$, with $s\in(0,1)$.…

This paper is concerned with the regularity theory of a transmission problem arising in composite materials. We give a new self-contained proof for the $C^{k,\alpha}$ estimates on both sides of the interface under the minimal assumptions on…

We prove a regularity theorem for the free boundary of minimizers of the two-phase Bernoulli problem, completing the analysis started by Alt, Caffarelli and Friedman in the 80s. As a consequence, we also show regularity of minimizers of the…

We study the regularity of minimizers of a multiphase vectorial Bernoulli free boundary problem. This problem consists in a minimization problem for the Bernoulli functional over families of Sobolev functions with disjoint supports and non…

Regularity theorems \`a la Avellaneda-Lin are an indispensable part of the modern quantitative theory of stochastic homogenization. While interior regularity results for random elliptic operators have been available for a while, on general…

We consider surfaces with boundary satisfying a sixth order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation corresponding to extremising the $L^2$-norm of the gradient of the mean curvature. We show that such surfaces with small $L^2$-norm…

We give a proof that Brakke's mean curvature flow under the unit density assumption is smooth almost everywhere in space-time. More generally, if the velocity is equal in a weak sense to its mean curvature plus some given \alpha-H\"{o}lder…

The free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is smooth outside of a degenerate set, which can have the same dimension ($n-1$) as the free boundary itself. In [FR21] it was shown that generically, the set where the free…

It is well known that minimizers of the Allen-Cahn-type functional \[ J_\epsilon(u):=\int_\Omega\frac{\epsilon|\nabla u|^2}{2}+\frac{W(u)}{\epsilon}, \] where $W$ is a double-well potential, resemble minimal surfaces in the sense that their…
