A harmonic mapping $f=h+\overline{g}$ in $\mathbb{D}$ is $\varphi$-normal if $f^{\#}(z)=\mathcal{O}(|\varphi(z)|), \text{ as } |z|\to 1^-,$ where $f^{\#}(z)={(|h'(z)|+|g'(z)|)}/{(1+|f(z)|^2)}.$ In this paper, we establish several sufficient…

It was conjectured by Eells that the only harmonic maps $f : S^3 \to S^2$ are Hopf fibrations composed with conformal maps of $S^2$. We support this conjecture by proving its validity under suitable conditions on the Hessian and the…

We consider the following fractional NLS with focusing inhomogeneous power-type nonlinearity $$i\partial_t u -(-\Delta)^s u + |x|^{-b}|u|^{p-1}u=0,\quad (t,x)\in \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^N,$$ where $N\geq 2$, $1/2<s<1$, $0<b<2s$ and…

We define and study the harmonic curves on domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ into the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$. These are the $C^2$-regular mappings which are critical points of the second Dirichlet energy and satisfy the weak…

Determinantal point processes exhibit an inherent repulsive behavior, thus providing examples of very evenly distributed point sets on manifolds. In this paper, we study the so-called harmonic ensemble, defined in terms of Laplace…

We consider radially symmetric, energy critical wave maps from (1 + 2)-dimensional Minkowski space into the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^m$, $m \geq 1$, and prove global regularity and scattering for classical smooth data of finite energy. In…

Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form $\mathbb{S}^n = \mathbb{S}^n$. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle.…

J. Kigami has laid the foundations of what is now known as analysis on fractals, by allowing the construction of an operator of the same nature of the Laplacian, defined locally, on graphs having a fractal character. The Sierpinski gasket…

We prove higher H\"older regularity for solutions of equations involving the fractional $p-$Laplacian of order $s$, when $p\ge 2$ and $0<s<1$. In particular, we provide an explicit H\"older exponent for solutions of the non-homogeneous…

For a K\"{a}hler manifold endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}\,dv,$ the associated weighted Hodge Laplacian $\Delta _{f}$ maps the space of $(p,q)$-forms to itself if and only if the $(1,0)$-part of the gradient vector field $\nabla f$…

The study of spherical harmonics in superspace, introduced in [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 (2007) 7193-7212], is further elaborated. A detailed description of spherical harmonics of degree k is given in terms of bosonic and fermionic…

We consider the variational problem associated with the Freidlin--Wentzell Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the Stochastic Heat Equation (SHE). For a general class of initial-terminal conditions, we show that a minimizer of this…

For closed and connected subgroups G of SO(n), we study the energy functional on the space of G-structures of a (compact) Riemannian manifold M, where G-structures are considered as sections of the quotient bundle O(M)/G. Then, we deduce…

Let $T$ be a locally finite tree equipped with a flow measure $m$. Let $\mathcal L$ be the flow Laplacian on $(T,m)$. We prove that the first order Riesz transform $\nabla \mathcal L^{-1/2}$ is bounded on $L^p(m)$ for $p\in (1,\infty)$.…

The study of spins and particles on graphs has broad applications, from the dynamics of interacting systems on networks to combinatorial problems. Here, we study the large-$n$ limit of the $O(n)$ model on graphs, which is considerably more…

We derive sharp Adams inequalities for the Riesz and more general Riesz-like potentials on the whole of R^n. As a consequence, we obtain sharp Moser-Trudinger inequalities for the critical Sobolev spaces W^{a,n/a}(R^n), 0<a<n. These…
