We discuss an approach to characterizing local degrees of freedom of a subregion in diffeomorphism-invariant theories using the extended phase space of Donnelly and Freidel, [JHEP 2016 (2016) 102]. Such a characterization is important for…

We develop a formalism to extend our previous work on the electromagnetic $\delta$-function plates to a spherical surface. The electric ($\lambda_e$) and magnetic ($\lambda_g$) couplings to the surface are through $\delta$-function…

We describe the spectrum structure for the restricted Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in multi-tubes, i.e. domains with cylindrical outlets to infinity. Some new effects in comparison with the local case are discovered. In this version,…

We consider symmetric Dirichlet forms on locally compact and non-locally compact spaces and provide an elementary proof for their closability with respect to energy dominant measures. We also discuss how to use known potential theoretic…

We make some remarks on the Euler-Lagrange equation of energy functional $I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\det Du)\,dx,$ where $f\in C^1(\mathbb R).$ For certain weak solutions $u$ we show that the function $f'(\det Du)$ must be a constant over the…

Given $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $v,$ $D>0,$ and $n\in \mathbb{N},$ let $\left\{ M_{\alpha }\right\} _{\alpha =1}^{\infty }$ be a Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence of Riemannian $n$--manifolds with sectional curvature $\geq k,$ volume $>v,$ and…

It is established that if a harmonic function $u$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in $\mathbb C$ has angular limits on a measurable set $E$ of the unit circle $\partial\mathbb D$, then its conjugate harmonic function $v$ in $\mathbb D$ also…

We show that in the semi-classical limit the eigenfunctions of quantized ergodic symplectic toral automorphisms can not concentrate in measure on a finite number of closed orbits of the dynamics. More generally, we show that, if the pure…

Let $\phi: A\to A$ be a (not necessarily linear, additive or continuous) map of a standard operator algebra. Suppose for any $a,b\in A$ there is an algebra automorphism $\theta_{a,b}$ of $ A$ such that \begin{align*} \phi(a)\phi(b) =…

If there exists a diffeomorphism $f$ on a closed, orientable $n$-manifold $M$ such that the non-wandering set $\Omega(f)$ consists of finitely many orientable $(\pm)$ attractors derived from expanding maps, then $M$ must be a rational…

We show that if $n\geq 1$, $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ is a connected domain with porous boundary, and $E\subset \partial\Omega$ is a set of finite and positive Hausdorff $H^{n}$-measure upon which the harmonic measure $\omega$ is…

A self-dual harmonic 2-form on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold is symplectic where it does not vanish. Furthermore, away from the form's zero set, the metric with the 2-form give a compatible almost complex structure and thus…

In this note we prove that a homeomorphism is countably-expansive if and only if it is measure-expansive. This result is applied for showing that the $C^1$-interior of the sets of expansive, measure-expansive and continuum-wise expansive…

We prove a homogenization theorem for quadratic convolution energies defined in perforated domains. The corresponding limit is a Dirichlet-type quadratic energy, whose integrand is defined by a non-local cell-problem formula. The proof…

Let $\mathbb{A}=\{z: r< |z|<R\}$ and $\A^\ast=\{z: r^\ast<|z|<R^\ast\}$ be annuli in the complex plane. Let $p\in[1,2]$ and assume that $\mathcal{H}^{1,p}(\A,\A^*)$ is the class of Sobolev homeomorphisms between $\A$ and $\A^*$, $h:\A\onto…

Suppose that $E$ and $E'$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2, that $D\subset E$ and $D'\subset E'$ are domains, and that $f: D\to D'$ is a homeomorphism. In this paper, we prove that if there exists some constant $M>1$…

Let $K$ be the Cantor set. We prove that arbitrarily close to a homeomorphism $T:K\rightarrow K$ there exists a homeomorphism $\widetilde T:K\rightarrow K$ such that the $\alpha$-limit and the $\omega$-limit of every orbit is a periodic…

We extend \emph{Schramm's cofat uniformization theorem} to cofat domains on upper Ahlfors 2-regular metric two-spheres $X$. Specifically, we show that if $\Omega \subset X$ is a cofat domain, then there exists a…

We study biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds with finite energy and finite bi-energy. We show that if the domain is complete and the target of non-positive curvature, then such a map is harmonic. We then give applications to…

We study foliations by chord-arc Jordan curves of the twice punctured Riemann sphere $\mathbb C \smallsetminus \{0\}$ using the Loewner-Kufarev equation. We associate to such a foliation a function on the plane that describes the "local…
