We give a description of degree-one maps between closed, oriented 3-manifolds in terms of surgery. Namely, we show that there is a degree-one map from a closed, oriented 3-manifold $M$ to a closed, oriented 3-manifold $N$ if and only if $M$…

By Torelli topology the author understands aspects of the topology of surfaces (potentially) relevant to the study of Torelli groups. The extension problem in Torelli topology is the problem of determining when a diffeomorphism of compact…

Let $L^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ denote the homogeneous Sobolev-Slobodeckij space. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a bounded linear extension operator from the jet space $J^{\lfloor s \rfloor}_E L^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to…

We introduce the notion of a flat extension of a connection $\theta$ on a principal bundle. Roughly speaking, $\theta$ admits a flat extension if it arises as the pull-back of a component of a Maurer-Cartan form. For trivial bundles over…

In this paper, we study the minimizing problem: $$ S_{p,1,\alpha,\mu}:= \inf_{u\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\setminus\{0\}} \frac{ \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|\nabla u|^{p}\mathrm{d}x - \mu \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}} \frac{|u|^{p}}{|x|^{p}} \mathrm{d}x}…

For $n\ge 3$, let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $R^n$ and $N$ be a compact Riemannian manifold in $R^L$ without boundary. Suppose that $u_n\in W^{1,n}(\Omega,N)$ are the Palais-Smale sequences of the Dirichlet $n$-energy functional and…

Suppose $\pi:W\to S$ is a smooth, proper morphism over a variety $S$ contained as a Zariski open subset in a smooth, complex variety $\bar S$. The goal of this note is to consider the question of when $\pi$ admits a regular, flat…

We consider Nahm's equations on a bounded open interval with first order poles at the ends. By imposing further boundary conditions, extended moduli spaces are identified with spaces of rational maps from $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1$ to…

By means of a general gluing and conformal-deformation construction, we prove that any smooth, metrically complete Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary can be realized as a closed domain into a smooth, geodesically complete Riemannan…

An approximation theorem of Youngs (1948) asserts that a continuous map between compact oriented topological 2-manifolds (surfaces) is monotone if and only if it is a uniform limit of homeomorphisms. Analogous approximation of Sobolev…

We consider maps into Riemannian manifolds of non-positive curvature and start developing a systematic PDE theory. We control the Sobolev $H^{2,2}$-norm of such a map in terms of its energy, the $L^2$-norm of its tension field and a…

This paper studies the inclusions between different Sobolev-Lorentz spaces $W^{1,(p,q)}(\Omega)$ defined on open sets $\Omega \subset {\mathbf{R}^n},$ where $n \ge 1$ is an integer, $1<p<\infty$ and $1 \le q \le \infty.$ We prove that if $1…
