For an integral $2$-varifold $V\subset \mathbb{S}^3$ with square-integrable mean curvature, unit density, and support of genus at least $1$, assume that its Willmore energy satisfies \[ \mathcal{W}(V)\le 2\pi^2+\delta^2,\qquad…

Consider a sufficiently smooth nearly integrable Hamiltonian system of two and a half degrees of freedom in action-angle coordinates \[ H_\epsilon (\varphi,I,t)=H_0(I)+\epsilon H_1(\varphi,I,t), \varphi\in T^2,\ I\in U\subset R^2,\ t\in…

We describe tools for the study of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$; some are classical (the Gauss maps) and some are newer (the link/braid/writhe at infinity). Then we look for complete proper non holomorphic minimal tori with total…

We show that the support of any local minimizer of the interaction energy consists of isolated points whenever the interaction potential is of class $C^2$ and mildly repulsive at the origin; moreover, if the minimizer is global, then its…

On four-dimensional closed manifolds we introduce a class of canonical Riemannian metrics, that we call weak harmonic Weyl metrics, defined as critical points in the conformal class of a quadratic functional involving the norm of the…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite-dimensional associative algebra. The torsion classes of $mod\, \Lambda$ form a lattice under containment, denoted by $tors\, \Lambda$. In this paper, we characterize the cover relations in $tors\, \Lambda$ by…

We establish the existence and smoothness of minimizers of the Willmore energy among axially symmetric surfaces of spherical type with prescribed isoperimetric ratio. Afterwards, we study the behavior of these minimizers as the…

We analyze the topological structure of the Nehari set for a class of functionals depending on a real parameter $\lambda$, and having two degrees of homogeneity. A special attention is paid to the extremal parameter $\lambda^*$, which is…

Particles interacting through long-range attraction and short-range repulsion given by power-laws have been widely used to model physical and biological systems, and to predict or explain many of the patterns they display. Apart from rare…

In this paper, we study a shape optimization problem for the torsional energy associated with a domain contained in an infinite cylinder, under a volume constraint. We prove that a minimizer exists for all fixed volumes and show some of its…

We show that subsingular vectors exist in Verma modules over W(2,2), and present a subquotient structure of these modules. We prove conditions for irreducibility of a tensor product of intermediate series module with the highest weight…

Let $\Omega$, $\Omega'\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be bounded domains and let $f_m\colon\Omega\to\Omega'$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms with positive Jacobians $J_{f_m} >0$ a.e. and prescribed Dirichlet boundary data. Let all $f_m$ satisfy the…

We consider deformations of metrics in a given conformal class such that the smallest eigenvalue of the Ricci tensor to be a constant. It is related to the notion of minimal volumes in comparison geometry. Such a metric with the smallest…

Quaternionic analysis, which describes conformal maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^3$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$, is extended to weakly conformal maps. As a consequence we present a new proof that on any compact Riemann surface $X$ the…

We study the two dimensional Lennard-Jones energy per particle of lattices and we prove that the minimizer among Bravais lattices with sufficiently large density is triangular and that is not the case for sufficiently small density. We give…

We consider first order local minimization problems of the form $\min \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}f(u,\nabla u)$ under a mass constraint $\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}u=m$. We prove that the minimal energy function $H(m)$ is always concave, and that relevant…

In the paper we consider Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operators in nonhomogeneous spaces. We are going to prove the analogs of classical results for homogeneous spaces. Namely, we prove that a Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operator is of weak type if it is…

We characterize Willmore tori in the 4-sphere with nontrivial normal bundle as Twistor projections of elliptic curves in complex projective space or as inverted minimal tori (with planar ends) in Euclidean 4-space.

We show convergence of minimizers of weighted inertia-energy functionals to solutions of initial value problems for a class of nonlinear wave equations. The result is given for the nonhomogeneous case under a natural growth assumption on…
