In this paper, we prove the identity $\dim_{\textrm H}(F)=d\cdot \dim_{\textrm H}(\alpha^{-1}(F))$, where $\dim_{\textrm H}$ denotes Hausdorff dimension, $F\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, and $\alpha:[0,1]\to [0,1]^d$ is a function whose…

We prove in the setting of $Q$--Ahlfors regular PI--spaces the following result: if a domain has uniformly large boundary when measured with respect to the $s$--dimensional Hausdorff content, then its visible boundary has large…

Green's function zeros, which can emerge only if correlation is strong, have been for long overlooked and believed to be devoid of any physical meaning, unlike Green's function poles. Here, we prove that Green's function zeros instead…

Motivated by models of fracture mechanics, this paper is devoted to the analysis of unilateral gradient flows of the Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional, where unilaterality comes from an irreversibility constraint on the fracture density. In…

Bounds for the maximal degree of certain Gr\"obner bases of simplicial toric ideals are given. These bounds are close to the bound stated in Eisenbud-Goto's Conjecture on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity.

We show that metrics that maximize the k-th Steklov eigenvalue on surfaces with boundary arise from free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball. We prove several properties of the volumes of these minimal submanifolds. For free boundary…

We use gradient Young measures generated by Lipschitz maps to define a relaxation of integral functionals which are allowed to attain the value $+\infty$ and can model ideal locking in elasticity as defined by Prager in 1957. Furthermore,…

Motivated by various geometric problems, we study the nodal set of solutions to Dirac equations on manifolds, of general form. We prove that such set has Hausdorff dimension less than or equal to $n-2$, $n$ being the ambient dimension. We…

Singular vectors are those for which the quality of rational approximations provided by Dirichlet's Theorem can be improved by arbitrarily small multiplicative constants. We provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of singular…

Let $M$ be a weighted manifold with boundary $\partial M$, i.e., a Riemannian manifold where a density function is used to weight the Riemannian Hausdorff measures. In this paper we compute the first and the second variational formulas of…

Although partition temperature derived using the Darwin-Fowler method is exact for simple scenarios, the derivation for complex systems might reside on specific approximations whose viability is not ensured if the thermodynamic limit is not…

We establish a regularity result for optimal sets of the isoperimetric problem with double density under mild ($\alpha$-)H\"older regularity assumptions on the density functions. Our main Theorem improves some previous results and allows to…

We consider a minimization problem that combines the Dirichlet energy with the nonlocal perimeter of a level set, namely $$ \int_\Om |\nabla u(x)|^2\,dx+\Per\Big(\{u > 0\},\Om \Big),$$ with $\sigma\in(0,1)$. We obtain regularity results for…

We prove a local higher integrability result for the gradient of a weak solution to parabolic double-phase systems of $p$-Laplace type when $\tfrac{2n}{n+2}< p\le2$. The result is based on a reverse H\"older inequality in intrinsic…

We define a random step size tug-of-war game, and show that the gradient of a value function exists almost everywhere. We also prove that the gradients of value functions are uniformly bounded and converge weakly to the gradient of the…
