In this paper we develop a monotonicity formula for elliptic systems with Neumann boundary coupling, proving unique continuation and classification of blow-up profiles. As an application, we obtain strong unique continuation for some fourth…
This note establishes, first of all, the monotonic increase with $N$ of the average $K$-body energy of classical $N$-body ground state configurations with $N\geq K$ monomers that interact solely through a permutation-symmetric $K$-body…
The celebrated Almgren monotonicity formula for harmonic functions $u:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ says that its $L^2-$energy concentrated on a sphere of radius $r$, when measured in a suitable sense, is non-decreasing: if $u$…
We investigate the role of inhomogeneous field configurations in systems with a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry. Spontaneous breaking is usually defined as a specific double limit, first infinite volume at finite explicit…
We compute the vacuum polarization energies for a couple of soliton models in one space and one time dimensions. These solitons are mappings that connect different degenerate vacua. From the considered sample solitons we conjecture that the…

Suppose we have a natural Hamiltonian $H$ of $n$ particles on the line, centre of mass momentum $P$ and a further independent quantity $Q$, cubic in the momenta. If these are each $S_{n}$ invariant and mutually Poisson commute we have the…
In Maxwell's classical theory of electrodynamics the fields are frequently expressed by potentials in order to facilitate the solution of the first order system of equations. This method obscures, however, that there exists an inconsistency…
In \cite{Mil}, Milnor posed the {\em Monotonicity Conjecture} that the set of parameters within a family of real multimodal polynomial interval maps, for which the topological entropy is constant, is connected. This conjecture was proved…
Monotonicity principles can be used to get informations about nonlinear singular integral equations. These results are based on a theorem of Browder and Minty. We consider a family of monotone singular integral operators and associated…
Generalized entropies are studied as Lyapunov functions for the Master equation (Markov chains). Three basic properties of these Lyapunov functions are taken into consideration: universality (independence of the kinetic coefficients),…
We treat an inverse electrical conductivity problem which deals with the reconstruction of nonlinear electrical conductivity starting from boundary measurements in steady currents operations. In this framework, a key role is played by the…
In a thermal field theory, the cumulants of the momentum distribution can be extracted from the dependence of the Euclidean path integral on a shift in the fields built into the temporal boundary condition. When combined with the Ward…
The structure of classical electrodynamics based on the variational principle together with causality and space-time homogeneity is analyzed. It is proved that in this case the 4-potentials are defined uniquely. On the other hand, the…

We offer an alternative and shorter proof to a result by Jan J.Ub{\o}e about monotonicity properties of a one-dimensional function that appeared in the Mathematical Intelligencer in 2015. Our proof is based on reducing the problem to…
