We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…

We prove the existence of a family of volume-constrained critical points of the liquid drop functional, which are cylindrically but not spherically symmetric. This family bifurcates from the ball and exchanges stability with it.

On any symplectic manifold of dimension greater than 2, we construct a pair of smooth functions, such that on the one hand, the uniform norm of their Poisson bracket equals to 1, but on the other hand, this pair cannot be reasonably…

We investigate numerically the critical behaviour which occurs in the collapse of both spherically symmetric and asymmetric scalar field bubbles with full general relativity. We use a minimally coupled scalar field subject to a "double…

We classify low-energy $\alpha$-harmonic maps from a closed non-spherical Riemannian surface $\Sigma$ of constant curvature to the round sphere via their bubble scales and centres. In particular we show that as $1<\alpha\downarrow 1$ and…

We obtain a general concept of triplet of Hilbert spaces with closed (unbounded) embeddings instead of continuous (bounded) ones. The construction starts with a positive selfadjoint operator $H$, that is called the Hamiltonian of the…

We study the hemisphere threshold for the conformally covariant Escobar functional on compact Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with boundary. The near-threshold landscape is organized by boundary invariants: the first-order coefficient…

In this short article we show a particular version of the Hedberg inequality which can be used to derive, in a very simple manner, functional inequalities involving Sobolev and Besov spaces in the general setting of Lebesgue spaces of…

We construct an example of a smooth convex function on the plane with a strict minimum at zero, which is real analytic except at zero, for which Thom's gradient conjecture fails both at zero and infinity. More precisely, the gradient orbits…

This paper is devoted to the proof of uniform H\"older and Lipschitz estimates close to oscillating boundaries, for divergence form elliptic systems with periodically oscillating coefficients. Our main point is that no structure is assumed…

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of hemivariational problems in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$). These hemivariational inequalities have a variational structure and,…

We enumerate a necessary condition for the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct, non-constant, prime closed geodesics on an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold $M$. That is, we show that any Riemannian metric on $M$ admits…

We study the volume functional on the space of constant scalar curvature metrics with a prescribed boundary metric. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition for a metric to be a critical point, and show that the only domains in space…

We study Hurewicz fibrations between finite T$_0$--spaces from a combinatorial viewpoint and give strong conditions that a continuous map between finite T$_0$--spaces must satisfy in order to be a Hurewicz fibration. We also show that there…

Let $X, Y$ be two complex manifolds of dimension 1 which are countable at infinity, let $D\subset X,$ $ G\subset Y$ be two open sets, let $A$ (resp. $B$) be a subset of $\partial D$ (resp. $\partial G$), and let $W$ be the 2-fold cross…

We study a functional on the boundary of a compact Riemannian 3-manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature. The functional arises as the second variation of the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy in general relativity. We prove that the functional…

Let $E$ be an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. We show that for every $C^1$ function $f:E\to\mathbb{R}^d$, every open set $U$ with $C_f:=\{x\in E:\,Df(x)\; \text{is not surjective}\}\subset U$ and every continuous function…

For compact Riemannian manifolds with convex boundary, B.White proved the following alternative: Either there is an isoperimetric inequality for minimal hypersurfaces or there exists a closed minimal hypersurface, possibly with a small…

In this article, we study strictly convex functions on Riemannian manifolds without focal points, a broad class of manifolds encompassing all Hadamard manifolds as well as a large collection of manifolds whose sectional curvatures change…

Let $f, g:S^1\to S^1$ be two $C^3$ critical homeomorphisms of the circle with the same irrational rotation number and the same (finite) number of critical points, all of which are assumed to be non-flat, of power-law type. In this paper we…
