In this paper, we study the continuous dependence of the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (IBNLS) equation \[iu_{t} +\Delta^{2} u=\lambda |x|^{-b}|u|^{\sigma}u,~u(0)=u_{0} \in H^{s} (\mathbb…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and $G$ a Lie subgroup of the isometry group of $M$ acting freely and properly on $M.$ We study the Dirichlet Problem \begin{align*} \operatorname{div}\left( \frac{a\left( \left\Vert \nabla…

Let $(M,g,\si)$ be a compact spin manifold of dimension $n \geq 2$. Let $\lambda_1^+(\tilde{g})$ be the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in the metric $\tilde{g} \in [g]$ conformal to $g$. We then define $\lamin(M,[g],\si)…

We consider the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger (INLS) equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $$i \partial_t u +\Delta u +|x|^{-b} |u|^{2\sigma}u = 0,$$ where $N\geq 3$, $0<b<\min\left\{\frac{N}{2},2\right\}$ and…

We introduce and analyze a nonlocal generalization of Whittle--Mat\'ern Gaussian fields in which the smoothness parameter varies in space through the fractional order, $s=s(x)\in[\underline{s}\,,\bar{s}]\subset(0,1)$. The model is defined…

We consider the minimizers of $L^{2}$-critical inhomogeneous variational problems with a spatially decaying nonlinear term in an open bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ which contains $0$. We prove that there is a threshold…

We study existence and convergence properties of least-energy symmetric solutions (l.e.s.s.) to the pure critical problem \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^su_s=|u_s|^{2^\star_s-2}u_s, \quad u_s\in D^s_0(\Omega),\quad 2^\star_s:=\frac{2N}{N-2s},…

Consider a convex function that is invariant under an group of transformations. If it has a minimizer, does it also have an invariant minimizer? Variants of this problem appear in nonparametric statistics and in a number of adjacent fields.…

Let $ (M,g) $ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $ N \geq 3 $. Given $p_0 \in M$, $\lambda \in \mathcal{R}$ and $\sigma \in (0,2]$, we study existence and non existence of minimizers of the following quotient:…

In 1974, Federer proved that all area-minimizing hypersurfaces on orientable manifolds were calibrated by weakly closed differential forms. However, in this manuscript, we prove the contrary in higher codimensions: calibrated…

For a bounded metric space $ X $ one can consider the quantity $ \delta(X) := \text{inf\rule[-0.5ex]{0em}{1ex}}_{\,p\in X}\; \text{sup}_{q \in X} \; d(p,q) $. This purely metric invariant is known from approximation theory as the relative…

For a probability measure on a real separable Hilbert space, we are interested in "volume-based" approximations of the d-dimensional least squares error of it, i.e., least squares error with respect to a best fit d-dimensional affine…

Let $\sigma:\boldsymbol{\Sigma}\to\boldsymbol{\Sigma}$ be the left shift acting on $ \boldsymbol{\Sigma} $, a one-sided Markov subshift on a countable alphabet. Our intention is to guarantee the existence of $\sigma$-invariant Borel…

We prove that if X is any 2-regular projective scheme (in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford) then X is "small". This means that if L is a linear space and Y:= L\cap X is finite, then Y is "linearly independent" in the sense that the…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3, and let \mathscr{F} denote the collection of all embedded surfaces homeomorphic to \mathbb{RP}^2. We study the infimum of the areas of all surfaces in \mathscr{F}. This quantity is…

We consider the isoperimetric inequality involving the $s$-perimeter and the $t$-perimeter with $0<s<t<1$, and show that the ball is a local minimizer of the (scale-invariant) isoperimetric ratio $\mathcal{F}(E):=P_t(E)^{\frac{1}{n-t}}/…

We prove that the stability inequality associated to Sobolev's inequality and its set of optimizers $\mathcal M$ and given by \[ \frac{\|\nabla f\|_{L^2(\mathbb R^d)}^2 - S_d \|f\|_{L^\frac{2d}{d-2}(\mathbb R^d)}^2}{ \inf_{h \in \mathcal M}…

We identify the Variational Principle governing inifinity-Harmonic maps, that is solutions to the Infinity-Laplacian. The system was first derived in the limit of the p-Laplacian as p->inifinity in [K2] and is recently studied in [K3]. Here…

In this paper, we construct invariant measures for the Ostrovsky equation associated with the norm $L^2$. On the other hand, we prove the local well- posedness in the besov space $\hat{b}^s_{p,\infty}$ for $sp >-1$.

We show that the smallest $\alpha$ so that $\alpha D + (1-\alpha)A \succcurlyeq 0$ is at least $1/\vartheta(\overline{G})$, significantly improving upon a result due to Nikiforov and Rojo (2017). In fact, we display an even stronger…
