We approximate the spectral data (eigenvalues and eigenfunctions) of compact Riemannian manifold by the spectral data of a sequence of (computable) discrete Laplace operators associated to some graphs immersed in the manifold. We give an…

We introduce $(k,l)$-regular maps, which generalize two previously studied classes of maps: affinely $k$-regular maps and totally skew embeddings. We exhibit some explicit examples and obtain bounds on the least dimension of a Euclidean…

We investigate local minimizers of Ginzburg--Landau-type functionals in dimension $n\geq 3$ that satisfy logarithmic energy bounds, assuming the potential has a vacuum manifold with a finite fundamental group. We show that the normalized…

Consider the sum of the first $N$ eigenspaces for the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold. A basis for this space determines a map to Euclidean space and for $N$ sufficiently large the map is an embedding. In analogy with a fruitful idea of…

Given two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$, we consider the energy concentration phenomena of the penalized energy functional $$E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{\vert\nabla u\vert^2}{2}+\frac{F(u)}{\epsilon^2},u\in…

Let X and Y be planar Jordan domains of the same finite connectivity, Y being inner chordarc regular (such are Lipschitz domains). Every homeomorphism h:X->Y in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ extends to a continuous map between closed domains.…

In this paper, we propose and analyze a finite element discretization for the computation of fractional minimal graphs of order~$s \in (0,1/2)$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$. Such a Plateau problem of order $s$ can be reinterpreted as a…

(1) For a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary $(M,g)$ containing $n+1$ points $p_i$ and the $n$-dimensional standard simplex $\Delta$, the miniser of \[ E: M \times \Delta \to {\mathbf R}, (a,\lambda) \mapsto \lambda^0 d^2(a,p_0) +…

We discuss approximations of the Riemannian geometry near the horizon. If a D+1 dimensional manifold N has a bifurcate Killing horizon then we approximate N by a product of the two-dimensional Rindler space and a D-1 dimensional Riemannian…

We derive a priori error estimates for Nitsche's method applied to elliptic problems on approximate domains. Such approximations arise, for example, in unfitted finite element methods, data-driven simulations, and evolving domain problems,…

We derive a family of high-order, structure-preserving approximations of the Riemannian exponential map on several matrix manifolds, including the group of unitary matrices, the Grassmannian manifold, and the Stiefel manifold. Our…

In the context of unfitted finite element discretizations the realization of high order methods is challenging due to the fact that the geometry approximation has to be sufficiently accurate. Recently a new unfitted finite element method…

A $W^{1,p}$-metric on an $n$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold naturally induces a distance function, provided $p$ is sufficiently close to $n$. If a sequence of metrics $g_k$ converges in $W^{1,p}$ to a limit metric $g$, then the…

In this paper, we prove a finite dimensional approximation scheme for the Wiener measure on closed Riemannian manifolds, establishing a generalization for $L^{1}$-functionals, of the approach followed by Andersson and Driver on [1]. We…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…
