The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…

We construct, for every even dimensional sphere $S^n$, $n >1$, and every odd integer $k$, a homogeneous polynomial map $f: S^{n}\to S^{n}$ of Brouwer degree $k$ and algebraic degree $2|k|-1$.

We prove that the number of distinct homotopy types of limits of one-parameter semi-algebraic families of closed and bounded semi-algebraic sets is bounded singly exponentially in the additive complexity of any quantifier-free first order…

Existence of an infinite sequence of harmonic maps between spheres of certain dimensions was proven by Bizon and Chmaj. This sequence shares many features of the Bartnik-McKinnon sequence of solutions to the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations as…

Harmonic maps are nonlinear extensions of harmonic functions. They are critical points of natural energy functionals between Riemannian manifolds. Such type of problems appear in Physics, Geometry of Finance and the study of regularity and…

The note is devoted to multiple mixing, spectrum, rank and self-joinings of measure-preserving transformations. We recall famous open problems, discuss related questions and some known results. A hypothetical example of an automorphism of…

We exhibit infinite families of planar graphs with real chromatic roots arbitrarily close to 4, thus resolving a long-standing conjecture in the affirmative.

In this paper, we prove a theorem concerning the existence of three solutions for the following boundary value problem: \begin{equation*} -\mathcal{M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+(D^2u)-\Gamma|Du|^2=f(u)~~~\text{in}\ \Omega, u=0~~~\text{on}\…

We study a class of weakly conformal $3$-harmonic maps, called associative Smith maps, from $3$-manifolds into $7$-manifolds that parametrize associative $3$-folds in Riemannian $7$-manifolds equipped with $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures.…

The SU(3)/U(1) x U(1) harmonic variables are used in the harmonic-superspace representation of the D=4, N=3 SYM-equations. The harmonic superfield equations of motion in the simple non-covariant gauge contain the nilpotent harmonic analytic…

We prove an identity between three infinite families of polynomials which are defined in terms of `bosonic', `fermionic', and `one-dimensional configuration' sums. In the limit where the polynomials become infinite series, they give…

Let $\omega$ be a plane autonomous system and C its configuration of algebraic integral curves. If the singularities of C are quasi-homogeneous we we present new criteria that guarantee Darboux integrability. We use this to construct…

In this manuscript we study rotationally $p$-harmonic maps between spheres. We prove that for $p\in\mathbb{N}$ given, there exist infinitely many $p$-harmonic self-maps of $\mathbb{S}^m$ for each $m\in\mathbb{N}$ with $p<m< 2+p+2\sqrt{p}$.…

For all $k \geq 3$, we show how one can explicitly construct an infinite family of $k$-regular graphs all of which have second largest eigenvalue satisfying the bound $O(k^{1/2})$. This resolves an open problem of Reingold, Vadhan and…

We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than 2. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence of good 2-lifts of every graph. We also…

We consider 1-equivariant wave maps from 1+2 dimensions to the 2-sphere of finite energy. We establish a classification of all degree 1 global solutions whose energies are less than three times the energy of the harmonic map Q. In…

This paper construct a family of explicit self-similar blowup axisymmetric solutions for the 3D incompressible Euler equations in R^3. Those singular solutions admit infinite energy.

In this short note we construct unbounded families of minimal surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree 4 such that the limits of the slopes assume countably many different values among 6+2/3 and 8.

We prove that for any two closed Riemannian manifolds $M^{2m}$ ($m\geq 1$) and $N$, there exists a minimizing (extrinsic) $m$-polyharmonic map for every free homotopy class in $[M^{2m}, N]$, provided that the homotopy group $\pi_{2m}(N)$ is…

We consider the singular boundary-value problem \Delta u = f(u) in D; u|_dD= phi, where 1. D is a bounded C^2-domain of R^d, d >= 3 2. f: (0,1) -> (0,1) is a locally H\"older continuous function such that f(u) -> 1 as u -> 0 at the rate…
