There exist several interesting results in the literature on subnormal operator tuples having their spectral properties tied to the geometry of strictly pseudoconvex domains or to that of bounded symmetric domains in $\C^n$. We introduce a…

We construct nontrivial smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ of the form $\Omega_0 \setminus \overline{\Omega}_1$, bifurcating from annuli, for which there exists a positive solution to the overdetermined boundary value…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded centrally symmetric domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with analytic boundary $\partial \Omega$ and center $c$. Let $\tau = \tau(\Omega)$ be the number of points $p$ on $\partial \Omega$ such that the normal line to…

We generalize the following result of White: Suppose $N$ is a compact, strictly convex domain in $\RR^3$ with smooth boundary. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact 2-manifold with boundary. Then a generic smooth curve $\Gamma\cong \partial\Sigma$ in…

We prove that any Bernstein algebra $(A, \omega)$ is isomorphic to a semidirect product $V \ltimes_{(\cdot, \, \Omega)} \, k$ associated to a commutative algebra $(V, \cdot)$ such that $(x^2)^2 = 0$, for all $x\in A$ and an idempotent…

We prove that the Robin ground state and the Robin torsion function are respectively log-concave and $\frac{1}{2}$-concave on an uniformly convex domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ of class $\mathcal{C}^m$, with $[m -\frac{ N}{2}]\geq 4$,…

In this sequel to arxiv:arXiv:1012.0835 we develop Bezout type theorems for semidegrees (including an explicit formula for {\em iterated semidegrees}) and an inequality for subdegrees. In addition we prove (in case of surfaces) a Bernstein…

We establish the following theorem of Bernstein type for the first Heisenberg group: Let S be a C^2 connected H-minimal surface which is a graph over some plane P, then S is either a non-characteristic vertical plane, or its generalized…

In this paper, we prove a new gradient estimate for minimal graphs defined on domains of a complete manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In particular, we show that positive, entire minimal graphs on manifolds with non-negative…

We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

In this paper we present a new family of solutions to the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn equation $\alpha^2 \Delta u + u(1-u^2)=0, \quad \hbox{in }\Omega\subset \R^N $ where $N=3$, $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain and $\A>0$ is a small…

For any $n\ge 2$, $\Omega\subset\rn$, and any given convex and coercive Hamiltonian function $H\in C^{0}(\rn)$, we find an optimal sufficient condition on $H$, that is, for any $c\in\mathbb R$, the level set $H^{-1}(c)$ does not contains…

In this paper, we consider the existence of mean curvature type hypersurfaces with prescribed gradient image. Let $\Omega$ and $\tilde{\Omega}$ be uniformly convex bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary. We show that there…

We get a new multiplicity result for gradient systems. Here is a very particular corollary: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) be a smooth bounded domain and let $\Phi:{\bf R}^2\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ function, with $\Phi(0,0)=0$,…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb R^N$, where $N \ge 2$ and $\partial\Omega$ is not necessarily bounded. We consider nonlinear diffusion equations of the form $\partial_t u= \Delta \phi(u)$. Let $u=u(x,t)$ be the solution of either the…

We study positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem $-\Delta u = u^p$ in a uniformly convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb S^2$, $u= 0$ on $\partial\Omega.$ For $p=1$, we assume that the right-hand side is replaced by $\lambda_1 u$, where…
