We show with two numerical examples that the conventional expansion in powers of the field for the critical potential of 3-dimensional O(N) models in the large-N limit, does not converge for values of phi^2 larger than some critical value.…

We construct explicit examples of Dirac-harmonic maps $(\phi, \psi)$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ and $(N,g')$ which are non-trivial in the sense that $\phi$ is not harmonic. When $\dim M=2$, we also produce examples where $\phi$ is…

We consider a system of weakly coupled singularly perturbed semilinear elliptic equations. First, we obtain a Lipschitz regularity result for the associated ground energy function $\Sigma$ as well as representation formulas for the left and…

We prove the analyticity of smooth critical points for O'Hara's knot energies $\mathcal{E}^{\alpha,p}$, with $p=1$ and $2<\alpha< 3$, subject to a fixed length constraint. This implies, together with the main result in \cite{BR13}, that…

We consider nonlocal linear Schr\"odinger-type critical systems of the type \begin{equation}\label{eqabstr} \Delta^{1/4} v=\Omega\, v~~~\mbox{in $\R\,.$} \ \end{equation} where $\Omega$ is antisymmetric potential in $L^2(\R,so(m))$, $v$ is…

The Einstein/Maxwell equations reduce in the stationary and axially symmetric case to a harmonic map with prescribed singularities phi: R^3\Sigma -> H^2_C, where Sigma is a subset of the axis of symmetry, and H^2_C is the complex hyperbolic…

We establish the regularity theory for certain critical elliptic systems with an anti-symmetric structure under inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary constraints. As applications, we prove full regularity and smooth estimates at the…

We prove Lojasiewicz inequalities for the harmonic map energy for maps from surfaces of positive genus into general analytic target manifolds which are close to simple bubble trees and as a consequence obtain new results on the convergence…

We study Dirac-harmonic maps from degenerating spin surfaces with uniformly bounded energy and show the so-called generalized energy identity in the case that the domain converges to a spin surface with only Neveu-Schwarz type nodes. We…

Caputo fractional (with power-law kernels) and fractional (delta) difference maps belong to a more widely defined class of generalized fractional maps, which are discrete convolutions with some power-law-like functions. The conditions of…

In this paper we initiate the study of equivariant wave maps from 2d hyperbolic space into rotationally symmetric surfaces. This problem exhibits markedly different phenomena than its Euclidean counterpart due to the exponential volume…

We study the limiting behavior of minimizing $p$-harmonic maps from a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ to a compact connected Riemannian manifold without boundary and with finite fundamental group as $p \nearrow 2$.…

This is the first in a series of two papers to establish the mass-angular momentum inequality for multiple black holes. We study singular harmonic maps from domains of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to the hyperbolic plane having bounded…

We study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for $\mathcal{A}$-harmonic functions on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold whose radial sectional curvatures outside a compact set satisfy an upper bound $$ K(P)\le - \frac{1+\varepsilon}{r(x)^2 \log r(x)}…

Shoen and Uhlenbeck showed that ``tangent maps'' can be defined at singular points of energy minimizing maps. Unfortunately these are not unique, even for generic boundary conditions. Examples are discussed which have isolated singularities…

In this paper we study the singular set of Dirichlet-minimizing $Q$-valued maps from $\mathbb{R}^m$ into a smooth compact manifold $\mathcal{N}$ without boundary. Similarly to what happens in the case of single valued minimizing harmonic…

Given a complete doubling metric measure space $X$ that supports a $2$-Poincar\'e inequality, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain $\Omega$ with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Our approach is based on the…

Polyharmonic maps of order k (briefly, k-harmonic maps) are a natural generalization of harmonic and biharmonic maps. These maps are defined as the critical points of suitable higher order functionals which extend the classical energy…

Using the established $d$-concavity of the $k$-Hessian type functions $F_k(R)=\log(S_k(R)),$ whose variables are nonsymmetric matrices, we prove $ C^{2, \alpha}(\overline{\Omega}) $ estimates for strictly $(\delta, \widetilde{\gamma}_k)…

A classical result in the study of Ginzburg-Landau equations is that, for Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, if a sequence of functions has energy uniformly bounded on a logarithmic scale then we can find a subsequence whose…
