In this article, we prove the continuity of the horizontal gradient near a $C^{1,\text{Dini}}$ non-characteristic portion of the boundary for solutions to $\Gamma^{0, \text{Dini}}$ perturbations of horizontal Laplaceans as in (1.1) below…
In his seminal 1981 study D. Jerison showed the remarkable negative phenomenon that there exist, in general, no Schauder estimates near the characteristic boundary in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^n$. On the positive side, by adapting…
We extend applications of Furstenberg boundary theory to the study of $C^*$-algebras associated to minimal actions $\Gamma\!\curvearrowright\! X$ of discrete groups $\Gamma$ on locally compact spaces $X$. We introduce boundary maps on…
We establish a C^1,alpha Schauder estimate of a non-standard degenerate elliptic equation and use it to give another proof of the higher order boundary Harnack inequality. As an application, we obtain the analyticity of the free boundary in…
We study the one-phase Alt-Phillips free boundary problem, focusing on the case of negative exponents $\gamma \in (-2,0)$. The goal of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we prove smoothness of $C^{1,\alpha}$-regular free boundaries by…
We prove the $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary in the Signorini problem with variable coefficients. We use a $C^{1,\alpha}$ boundary Harnack inequality in slit domain. The key method is to study a non-standard degenerate…
We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$, $0<\alpha <1,$ and we prove that ``flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\gamma}$. We thus extend the known result for the case $\alpha=1/2.$
We obtain a compactness result for $\Gamma$-convergence of integral functionals defined on $\mathcal{A}$-free vector fields. This is used to study homogenization problems for these functionals without periodicity assumptions. More…
Let $\Gamma(\cdot,\lambda)$ be smooth, i.e.\, $\mathcal C^\infty$, embeddings from $\bar{\Omega}$ onto $\bar{\Omega^{\lambda}}$, where $\Omega$ and $\Omega^\lambda$ are bounded domains with smooth boundary in the complex plane and $\lambda$…
We prove $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of sufficiently flat free boundaries, for the thin one-phase problem in which the free boundary occurs on a lower dimensional subspace. This problem appears also as a model of a one-phase free boundary…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^\nu$, $\nu\ge 2$, be a $C^{1,1}$ domain whose boundary $\partial\Omega$ is either compact or behaves suitably at infinity. For $p\in(1,\infty)$ and $\alpha>0$, define \[…
We study the regularity of the free boundary in the parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ (and more general integro-differential operators) in the regime $s>\frac{1}{2}$. We prove that once the free boundary…
In this note, we prove the finite ${(Q-1)}$-Hausdorff measure of the free boundary in the obstacle problem in a Carnot group $\mathbb{G}$. Here, $Q$ represents the homogeneous dimension of $\mathbb{G}$. Our main result, Theorem 1.1,…
In this paper we prove Schauder estimates at the boundary for sub-Laplacian type operators in Carnot groups. While internal Schauder estimates have been deeply studied, up to now subriemannian estimates at the boundary are known only in the…
We consider time-harmonic acoustic scattering by a compact sound-soft obstacle $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) that has connected complement $\Omega := \mathbb{R}^n\setminus \Gamma$. This scattering problem is modelled by the…
Take a bounded symmetric domain $D$ and an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of ${\rm Aut}(D)$. Take the quotient $D/\Gamma$, compactify and resolve the singularities. We study the fundamental group of the compact complex manifolds that result…
We continue our study of the free boundary regularity in the thin one-phase problem and show that $C^{2,\alpha}$ free boundaries are smooth.
We consider a one-phase free boundary problem with variable coefficients and non-zero right hand side. We prove that flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\alpha}$ using a different approach than the classical supconvolution method of Caffarelli.…
In this article we study for the first time the regularity of the free boundary in the one-phase free boundary problem driven by a general nonlocal operator. Our main results establish that the free boundary is $C^{1,\alpha}$ near regular…
Let $\alpha : \Gamma \curvearrowright A$ be an action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on a unital C*-algebra $A$ by *-automorphisms and let $A \rtimes_{\alpha,\lambda} \Gamma$ denote the corresponding reduced crossed product C*-algebra.…
