In this article we present a coherent rigorous overview of the main properties of Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces of sections of vector bundles on compact manifolds; results of this type are scattered through the literature and can be difficult…
The paper studies how to extend local calibration pairs to global ones in various situations. As a result, new discoveries involving mass-minimizing properties are exhibited. In particular, we show that a $\mathbb R$-homologically…
This paper contains some results about the topology of $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$, where $\M_{0,n+1}$ is the moduli space of genus zero Riemann surfaces with marked points. We show that $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$ is not a topological manifold for…
In this note, we show how the results of Mazowiecka--Schikorra, combined with those of Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu, imply the existence of minimal maps of degree one in $ W^{\frac{1}{p},p}(\mathbb{S}^1,\mathbb{S}^1) $ for $ p \in [p', 2] $,…
For a finite $E \subset \R^2$, $f:E \rightarrow \R$, and $p>2$, we produce a continuous $F:\R^2 \rightarrow \R$ depending linearly on $f$, taking the same values as $f$ on $E$, and with $L^{2,p}(\R^2)$ semi-norm minimal up to a factor…
In this paper, we extend the fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents $W^{s,p(x,y)}$ to include the general fractional case $W^{K,p(x,y)}$, where $p$ is a variable exponent, $s\in (0,1)$ and $K$ is a suitable kernel. We are…
Let $1 < p < \infty$ and suppose that we are given a function $f$ defined on the leaves of a weighted tree. We would like to extend $f$ to a function $F$ defined on the entire tree, so as to minimize the weighted $W^{1,p}$-Sobolev norm of…
Here, a natural extension of Sobolev spaces is defined for a Finsler structure $F$ and it is shown that the set of all real $C^{\infty}$ functions with compact support on a forward geodesically complete Finsler manifold $(M, F)$, is dense…
Let $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the homogeneous Sobolev space for $p \in (n,\infty)$, $\mu$ be a Borel regular measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n) + L^p(d\mu)$ be the space of Borel measurable functions with finite seminorm…
In this paper we introduce a general notion of weak extension property for embeddings induced by a group actions. As an example, for the group H(M, m) of measure-preserving homeomorphisms of a noncompact manifold M, we deduce weak type…
We extend harmonic map techniques to the setting of more general differential equations in conformal geometry. We obtain an extension of Siu's rigidity to Kahler-Weyl geometry and apply the latter to Vaisman's conjecture. Other applications…
We consider the existence problem of lift F of a map f between Carnot group with different smoothness, where we use central extension to define lifting. Our main result is the existence of the contact lifts of Lipschitz and Sobolev maps and…
A recent result of M. Kourganoff states that if $D$ is a closed, reducible, non-flat, Weyl connection on a compact conformal manifold $M$, then the universal covering of $M$, endowed with the metric whose Levi-Civita covariant derivative is…
Let $(\pP,\wt\pP)$ be a pair of $r \times s$ matrices of Laurent polynomials with symmetry such that $\pP(z) \wt\pP^*(z)=I_\mrow$ for all $z\in \CC \bs \{0\}$ and both $\pP$ and $\wt\pP$ have the same symmetry pattern that is compatible.…
Tukia and Vaisala showed that every quasi-conformal map of $\R^n$ extends to a quasi-conformal self-map of $\R^{n+1}$. The restriction of the extended map to the upper half-space $\R^n \times \R^+$ is, in fact, bi-Lipschitz with respect to…
We discuss four off-shell N=4 D=1 supersymmetry transformations, their associated one-dimensional sigma-models and their mutual relations. They are given by I) the (4,4)_{lin} linear supermultiplet (supersymmetric extension of R^4), II) the…
The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…
Let $V\subseteq W$ be two operator spaces. Arveson-Wittstock-Hahn-Banach theorem asserts that every completely contractive map $\varphi:V\to \mathcal{B}(H)$ has a completely contractive extension $\tilde{\varphi}:W\to \mathcal{B}(H)$, where…
We show that a totally geodesic submanifold of a symmetric space satisfying certain conditions admits an extension to a minimal submanifold of dimension one higher, and we apply this result to construct new examples of complete embedded…
For any semifinite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal M}$ and any $1\leq p<\infty$, we introduce a natutal $S^1$-valued noncommutative $L^p$-space $L^p({\mathcal M};S^1)$. We say that a bounded map $T\colon L^p({\mathcal M})\to L^p({\mathcal…
