In this paper we study localization properties of the Riesz $s$-fractional gradient $D^s u$ of a vectorial function $u$ as $s \nearrow 1$. The natural space to work with $s$-fractional gradients is the Bessel space $H^{s,p}$ for $0 < s < 1$…

A harmonic map from a Riemannian manifold into a Grassmannian manifold is characterized by a vector bundle, a space of sections of this bundle and a Laplace operator. We apply our main theorem, itself a generalization of a Theorem of…

This paper addresses the Mountain Pass Theorem for locally Lipschitz functions on finite-dimensional vector spaces in terms of tangencies. Namely, let $f \colon \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a locally Lipschitz function with a mountain pass…

We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…

A notion of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak type is introduced for sequences of operators acting on time-dependent functions. This extends the classical definition of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals due to De Giorgi. The…

Using the $\mathbb{R}((X))$-measure, we define and study certain $\mathbb{C}((X))$-valued functions on $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ for $F$ a two-dimensional local field. In particular, we define a convolution product on such suitable functions,…

Functionals (i.e. functions of functions) are widely used in quantum field theory and solid-state physics. In this paper, functionals are given a rigorous mathematical framework and their main properties are described. The choice of the…

The Rankin-Selberg method for studying Langlands' automorphic $L$-functions is to find integral representations, involving certain Fourier coefficients of cusp forms and Eisenstein series, for these functions. In this thesis we develop the…

The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

The paper is devoted to study analogues of the van der Corput lemmas involving Mittag-Leffler functions. The generalisation is that we replace the exponential function with the Mittag-Leffler-type function, to study oscillatory integrals…

This work adresses the question of density of piecewise constant (resp. rigid) functions in the space of vector valued functions with bounded variation (resp. deformation) with respect to the strict convergence. Such an approximation…

Given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C$, the Lempert function is a functional on the space $Hol (\D,\Omega)$ of analytic disks with values in $\Omega$, depending on a set of poles in $\Omega$. We generalize its definition to the case…

We extend the concept of two-scale convergence on forms in Orlicz-Sobolev's spaces and we describe the homogenization for a family of integral functionals with convex and nonstandard growth integrands defined on the tangent bundle of a…

We consider a family of non-local and non-convex functionals, and we prove that their Gamma-liminf is bounded from below by a positive multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation. As a by-product, we answer some open questions…

In the present paper we consider Riemannian coverings $(X,g) \to (M,g)$ with residually finite covering group $\Gamma$ and compact base space $(M,g)$. In particular, we give two general procedures resulting in a family of deformed coverings…

We consider maps between commutative groups and their functional degrees. These degrees are defined based on a simple idea -- the functional degree should decrease if a discrete derivative is taken. We show that the maps of finite…

An integral representation result is obtained for the relaxation of a class of energy functionals depend- ing on two vector fields with different behaviors, which may appear in the context of image decomposition and thermochemical…

Generalized Bargmann representations which are based on generalized coherent states are considered. The growth of the corresponding analytic functions in the complex plane is studied. Results about the overcompleteness or undercompleteness…
