One of the foundations of the Standard Model of Cosmology is statistical isotropy, which can be tested, among other probes, through the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). However, a hemispherical power asymmetry on large scales…
In this paper we consider approximations introduced by Sacks-Uhlenbeck of the harmonic energy for maps from $S^2$ into $S^2$. We continue the analysis in [6] about limits of $\alpha$-harmonic maps with uniformly bounded energy. Using a…
We study the geometry of the image of the nonnegative orthant under the power-sum map and the elementary symmetric polynomials map. After analyzing the image in finitely many variables, we concentrate on the limit as the number of variables…
We prove a number of results involving the kernel of the identity minus the monodromy on the vanishing cycles.
Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface of genus least two and $\rho \colon \pi_1(\Sigma) \to G$ a Hitchin representation into $G=\text{PSL}(n,\mathbb{R})$, $\text{PSp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$, $\text{PSO}(n,n+1)$ or $\text{G}_2$. We consider the energy…
The paper is devoted to the study of compositions of polyharmonic mappings in simply connected domains. More precisely, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions of polyharmonic mapping $f$ such that $f\circ F$ (resp. $F\circ f$) is…
In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…
The notions of bienergy of a smooth mapping and of biharmonic map between Riemannian manifolds are extended to the case when the domain is Finslerian. We determine the first and the second variation of the bienergy functional, the equations…
We study a second order differential equation corresponding to rotationally symmetric $F$-harmonic maps between certain noncompact manifolds. We show unique continuation and Liouville's type theorems for positive solutions. Asymptotic…
In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of complex-valued pluriharmonic mappings defined over convex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We first establish a multidimensional analogue of the Noshiro-Warschawski Theorem,…
Ends and end cohomology are powerful invariants for the study of noncompact spaces. We present a self-contained exposition of the topological theory of ends and prove novel extensions including the existence of an exhaustion of a proper…
We prove uniqueness of equivariant harmonic maps into irreducible symmetric spaces of non-compact type and Euclidean buildings associated to isometric actions by Zariski dense subgroups.
We consider some generalizations of the classical nonholonomic integrator and give a geometric approach to characterize controllability for these systems. We use Stokes' theorem and results from complex analysis to obtain necessary and…
We define the notion of extrinsic symplectic symmetric spaces and exhibit some of their properties. We construct large families of examples and show how they fit in the perspective of a complete classification of these manifolds. We also…
We study the existence and regularity of energy-minimizing harmonic almost complex structures. We have proved results similar to the theory of harmonic maps, notably the classical results of Schoen-Uhlenbeck and recent advance by…
We prove two compactness results for function spaces with finite Dirichlet energy of half-space nonlocal gradients. In each of these results, we provide sufficient conditions on a sequence of kernel functions that guarantee the asymptotic…
We study the symmetry and uniqueness of maps which minimise the $np$-Dirichlet energy, under the constraint that their Jacobian is a given radially symmetric function $f$. We find a condition on $f$ which ensures that the minimisers are…
We present a first internal delensing of CMB maps, both in temperature and polarization, using the public foreground-cleaned (SMICA) Planck 2015 maps. After forming quadratic estimates of the lensing potential, we use the corresponding…
We study in this article the mathematical properties of a class of orbital-free kinetic energy functionals. We prove that these models are linearly stable but nonlinearly unstable, in the sense that the corresponding kinetic energy…
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…
