In this paper, we study the biharmonic equation with the Navier boundary conditions in a polygonal domain. In particular, we propose a method that effectively decouples the 4th-order problem into a system of Poisson equations. Different…

In an arbitrary unitary 4D CFT we consider a scalar operator \phi, and the operator \phi^2 defined as the lowest dimension scalar which appears in the OPE \phi\times\phi with a nonzero coefficient. Using general considerations of OPE,…

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…
We study a Helmholtz-type spectral problem in a two-dimensional medium consisting of a fully periodic background structure and a perturbation in form of a line defect. The defect is aligned along one of the coordinate axes, periodic in that…
In this paper we study the free boundary regularity for almost-minimizers of the functional \begin{equation*} J(u)=\int_{\mathcal O} |\nabla u(x)|^2 +q^2_+(x)\chi_{\{u>0\}}(x) +q^2_-(x)\chi_{\{u<0\}}(x)\ dx \end{equation*} where $q_\pm \in…
We consider Dirichlet problems for fully nonlinear mixed local-nonlocal non-translation invariant operators. For a bounded $C^2$ domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d,$ let $u\in C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ be a viscosity solution of such Dirichlet…
This article studies (optimal) $W^{2m-1,\infty}$-regularity for the polyharmonic equation $(-\Delta)^m u = Q \; \mathcal{H}^{n-1} \llcorner \Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a (suitably regular) $(n-1)$-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$,…
We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

We study $p$--harmonic maps with Dirichlet boundary conditions from a planar domain into a general compact Riemannian manifold. We show that as $p$ approaches $2$ from below, they converge up to a subsequence to a minimizing singular…
We study the two membranes problem for two different fully nonlinear operators. We give a viscosity formulation for the problem and prove existence of solutions. Then we prove a general regularity result and the optimal $C^{1,1}$ regularity…
