We prove several abstract versions of the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for an analytic functional on a Banach space that generalize previous abstract versions of this inequality, weakening their hypotheses and, in particular, the…

We prove Lojasiewicz inequalities for the harmonic map energy for maps from surfaces of positive genus into general analytic target manifolds which are close to simple bubble trees and as a consequence obtain new results on the convergence…

In real analysis, the Lojasiewicz inequalities, revitalized by Leon Simon in his pioneering work on singularities of energy minimizing maps, have proven to be monumental in differential geometry, geometric measure theory, and variational…

We provide sufficient conditions for the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality to hold on a submanifold of a Banach space and discuss the optimality of our assumptions. Our result provides a tool to study asymptotic properties of…

For any compact Lie group $G$ and closed, smooth Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$ of dimension $d\geq 2$, we extend a result due to Uhlenbeck (1985) that gives existence of a flat connection on a principal $G$-bundle over $X$ supporting a…

We prove a Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality $$ \left| E(u) - 4\pi n \right| \leq C \| \mathcal{T}(u) \|^\alpha $$ for maps $u \in W^{2,2}\left( S^2, S^2 \right).$ The inequality holds with $\alpha = 1$ in general and with $\alpha > 1$ unless…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…

We generalize the notion of calibrated submanifolds to smooth maps and show that the several examples of smooth maps appearing in the differential geometry become the examples of our situation. Moreover, we apply these notion to give the…

In this note we discuss how several results characterizing the qualitative behavior of solutions to the nonlinear Poisson equation can be generalized to harmonic maps with potential between complete Riemannian manifolds. This includes…

We consider the energy spectrum $\Xi_E(N)$ of harmonic maps from the sphere into a closed Riemannian manifold $N$. While a well known conjecture asserts that $\Xi_E(N)$ is discrete whenever $N$ is analytic, for most analytic targets it is…

In 1996, Shi generalized the epsilon-regularity theorem of Schoen and Uhlenbeck to energy-minimizing harmonic maps from a domain equipped with a bounded measurable Riemannian metric. In the present work we prove a compactness result for…

In this paper, we consider maps from pseudo-Hermitian manifolds to K\"{a}hler manifolds and introduce partial energy functionals for these maps. First, we obtain a foliated Lichnerowicz type result on general pseudo-Hermitian manifolds,…

In this article we introduce a natural extension of the well-studied equation for harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds by assuming that the target manifold is equipped with a connection that is metric but has non-vanishing torsion.…

In this paper we study an energy of maps between almost Hermitian manifolds for which pseudo-holomorphic maps are global minimizers. We derive its Euler-Lagrange equation, the $\bar{\partial}$-harmonic map equation, and show that it…

The classical Lojasiewicz inequality and its extensions for partial differential equation problems (Simon) and to o-minimal structures (Kurdyka) have a considerable impact on the analysis of gradient-like methods and related problems:…

We state and prove a stabilisation result for solutions of abstract gradient systems associated with nonsmooth energy functions on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. One feature is that in this general setting the assumption on the range…

In this paper, we first obtain an $L^q$ gradient estimate for $p$-harmonic maps, by assuming the target manifold supporting a certain function, whose gradient and Hessian satisfy some analysis conditions. From this $L^q$ gradient estimate,…

We prove lower bounds for energy functionals of mappings from real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces to Riemannian manifolds. For real and complex projective spaces, these lower bounds are sharp, and we characterize the family of…

In this note, we prove an ${L^{\frac{n}{2}}}$-energy gap result for Yang-Mills connections on a principal $G$-bundle over a compact manifold without using Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality (arXiv:1502.00668).
