The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we cut off a part of a convex surface by a plane near a ridge point and characterize the limiting behavior of the surface measure in $S^2$ induced by this part of surface when the plane approaches…

It is a classical result that if $u \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\nabla u \in SO(n)$ it follows that $u$ is rigid. In this article this result is generalized to matrix fields with non-vanishing curl. It is shown that every…

In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the measure of the domain. Our result generalizes to arbitrary…

The goal of this note is to show that, also in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, with $\partial \Omega\in C^2$, any weak solution, $(u(x,t),p(x,t))$, of the Euler equations of ideal incompressible fluid in $\Omega\times (0,T)…

We prove that if $p>1$ then the divergence of a $L^p$-vectorfield $V$ on a 2-dimensional domain $\Omega$ is the boundary of an integral 1-current, if and only if $V$ can be represented as the rotated gradient $\nabla^\perp u$ for a…

We prove that if $\Om \subseteq \R^2$ is bounded and $\R^2 \setminus \Om$ satisfies suitable structural assumptions (for example it has a countable number of connected components), then $W^{1,2}(\Om)$ is dense in $W^{1,p}(\Om)$ for every…

Consider the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid filling a 3D exterior domain $\Omega$ subject to the Navier slip-with-friction boundary condition as well as outflow at infinity. For the Oseen system as the linearization, we discuss…

We assume that $\Omega_1, \Omega_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 1$ are two disjoint domains whose complements satisfy the capacity density condition and the intersection of their boundaries $F$ has positive harmonic measure. Then we…

For any $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions of free boundary problems arising in plasma physics on $\Omega$ in a neat interval depending only by the best constant of the Sobolev…

We consider a class of variational problems for densities that repel each other at distance. Typical examples are given by the Dirichlet functional and the Rayleigh functional \[ D(\mathbf{u}) = \sum_{i=1}^k \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_i|^2…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We show that $M$ is Gromov-Hausdorff close to a convex Euclidean region $D$ of the same dimension if the boundary distance function of $M$ is $C^1$-close to that of $D$. More…

For the Bach-flat closed manifold with positive scalar curvature, we prove a rigidity result under a given inequality involving the Weyl curvature and the traceless Ricci curvature. Moveover, under an inequality involving…

We deal with rigidity results for compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with nonempty boundaries. As a result, we obtain new characterizations for hemispheres and geodesic balls in simply connected space forms. In dimensions three and…

We consider the Stokes problem in an exterior domain $\Omega \subset \R^n$ with an external force $\bbf \in L^s(0,T; \bW^{k,\, r}(\Omega ))\, (k\in \N, 1<r<\infty)$. In the present paper we show that in contrast to $\bu$ the boundary…

This article aims to investigate the existence of bounded positive solutions of problem \[ (P)\qquad \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} - {\rm div} (a(x,u,\nabla u)) + A_t(x,u,\nabla u) = g(x,u) &\hbox{in $\Omega$,}\\ u\ = \ 0 & \hbox{on…

We construct nontrivial smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ of the form $\Omega_0 \setminus \overline{\Omega}_1$, bifurcating from annuli, for which there exists a positive solution to the overdetermined boundary value…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\geq 3$) be a bounded $C^2$ domain and $\Sigma\subset\partial\Omega$ be a compact $C^2$ submanifold of dimension $k$. Denote the distance from $\Sigma$ by $d_\Sigma$. In this paper, we study positive…
