We consider a family of potentials f, derived from the Hofbauer potentials, on the symbolic space Omega=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N} and the shift mapping $\sigma$ acting on it. A Ruelle operator framework is employed to show there is a phase…
This paper studies the nature of fractional linear transformations in a general relativity context as well as in a quantum theoretical framework. Two features are found to deserve special attention: the first is the possibility of…
This work is about global H\"older regularity for solutions to elliptic partial differential equations subject to mixed boundary conditions on irregular domains. There are two main results. In the first, we show that if the domain of the…
Recently discovered fine structure of the morphotropic phase boundaries in highly piezoelectric mixture compounds PZT, PMN-PT, and PZN-PT demonstrates the importance of highly non-linear interactions in these systems. We show that an…
In 2023, Cristoferi, Fonseca and Ganedi proved that Cahn-Hilliard type energies with spatially inhomogeneous potentials converge to the usual (isotropic and homogeneous) perimeter functional if the length-scale $\delta$ of spatial…
We investigate the possibility of realizing strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT) in an effective field theory framework where the Standard Model is extended with a complex scalar singlet ($\phi$) charged under a local…
This paper represents a first step towards the extension of the definition of Rabinowitz Floer homology to non-compact energy hypersurfaces in exact symplectic manifolds. More concretely, we study under which conditions it is possible to…
In this note we present some uniqueness and comparison results for a class of problem of the form \begin{equation} \label{EE0} \begin{array}{c} - L u = H(x,u,\nabla u)+ h(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega), \end{array}…
A well-known conjecture of De Giorgi -- motivated by analogy with the Bernstein problem for minimal surfaces -- asserts the rigidity of monotone solutions to the Allen--Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, with $d\leq 7$. We establish close…
Here we give an alternate proof of a sufficient condition due to J. Mateu, J. Orobitg, and J. Verdera for a quasiconformal map of the plane with dilatation supported in a smooth domain to be bi-Lipschitz. We also extend this theorem to…
In this paper we investigate the boundedness properties of bilinear multiplier operators associated with unimodular functions of the form $m(\xi,\eta)=e^{i \phi(\xi-\eta)}$. We prove that if $\phi$ is a $C^1(\mathbb R^n)$ real-valued…
This paper is concerned with freezing phase transitions in general dynamical systems. A freezing phase transition is one in which, for a given potential $\phi$, there exists some inverse temperature $\beta_0 > 0$ such that for all $\alpha,…
A one-dimensional model of interacting electrons with on-site $U$, nearest-neighbor $V$, and pair-hopping interaction $W$ is studied at half-filling using the continuum limit field theory approach. The ground state phase diagram is obtained…
We compute the leading and next--to--leading corrections to the finite temperature scalar potential for a 3+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory using a systematic $1/N$ expansion. Our approach automatically avoids problems associated with…
Let $X, Y \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be Lipschitz domains, and suppose there is a homeomorphism $\varphi \colon \overline{X} \to \overline{Y}$. We consider the class of Sobolev mappings $f \in W^{1,n} (X, \mathbb{R}^n)$ with a strictly positive…
In 1971 Fedi\u{i} proved the remarkable theorem that the linear second order partial differential operator in the plane with coefficients 1 and f^2 is hypoelliptic provided that f is smooth, vanishes at the origin and is positive otherwise.…
For the family of Lozi maps $L_{a,b}$, we consider parameter pairs for which the f\mbox{}ixed point $X$ has no homoclinic points and the period-two orbit $\{P,P'\}$ is attracting. For such parameters, let $\ell$ be the set of accumulation…
A homeomorphism f of a manifold M is called H_1-transitive if there is a transitive lift of an iterate of f to the universal Abelian cover \tM. Roughly speaking, this means that f has orbits which repeatedly and densely explore all elements…
Let $\phi$ be a quasiconformal mapping, and let $T_\phi$ be the composition operator which maps $f$ to $f\circ\phi$. Since $\phi$ may not be bi-Lipschitz, the composition operator need not map Sobolev spaces to themselves. The study begins…
Fix $N\in\mathbb N$ and assume that for every $n\in\{1,\ldots, N\}$ the functions $f_n\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$ and $g_n\colon[0,1]\to\mathbb R$ are Lebesgue measurable, $f_n$ is almost everywhere approximately differentiable with…
