It is well-known that convex variational problems with linear growth and Dirichlet boundary conditions might not have minimizers if the boundary condition is not suitably relaxed. We show that for a wide range of integrands, including the…

We establish a nonlinear analogue of a splitting map into a Euclidean space, as a harmonic map into a flat torus. We prove that the existence of such a map implies Gromov-Hausdorff closeness to a flat torus in any dimension. Furthermore,…

The aim of this note is to investigate the size of the singular set of a general class of free interface problems. We show porosity of the singular set, obtaining as a corollary that both its Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions are strictly…

In this paper, we formulate the statistical mechanics in Snyder space that supports the existence of a minimal length scale. We obtain the corresponding invariant Liouville volume which properly determines the number of microstates in the…

We prove local measure bounds on the tubular neighbourhood of the singular set of codimension one stationary integral $n$-varifolds $V$ in Riemannian manifolds which have both: (i) finite index on their smoothly embedded part; and (ii)…

In this paper we exhibit a family of stationary solutions of the Mumford-Shah functional in $\mathbb{R}^3$, arbitrary close to a crack-front. Unlike other examples, known in the literature, those are topologically non-minimizing in the…

The calibration method is used to identify some minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional. The method is then extended to more general free discontinuity problems.

We show that the local in-gap Greens function of a band insulator $\mathbf{G}_0 (\epsilon,\mathbf{k}_{\parallel},\mathbf{r}_{\perp}=0)$, with $\mathbf{r}_\perp$ the position perpendicular to a codimension-1 or -2 impurity, reveals the…

We establish the higher fractional differentiability of bounded minimizers to a class of obstacle problems with non-standard growth conditions of the form \begin{gather*} \min \biggl\{ \displaystyle\int_{\Omega} F(x,Dw)dx \ : \ w \in…

We prove continuity up to the boundary of the minimizer of an obstacle problem and higher integrability of its gradient under generalized Orlicz growth. The result recovers similar results obtained in the special cases of polynomial growth,…

We develop a general approach, using local interpolation inequalities, to non-convex integral functionals depending on the gradient with a singular perturbation by derivatives of order $k\ge 2$. When applied to functionals giving rise to…

The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of…

We establish that locally bounded relaxed minimizers of degenerate elliptic symmetric gradient functionals on $\mathrm{BD}(\Omega)$ have weak gradients in $\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$. This is achieved for…

The free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is smooth outside of a degenerate set, which can have the same dimension ($n-1$) as the free boundary itself. In [FR21] it was shown that generically, the set where the free…

An approximate partition functional is derived for the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model. This functional naturally includes the exact solution of the Falicov-Kimball model as a special case, and is exact in the uncorrelated and atomic…

The classical $n$-vector $\phi^4$ model with $O(n)$ symmetrical Hamiltonian ${\cal H}$ is considered in a $\infty^2\times L$ slab geometry bounded by a pair of parallel free surface planes at separation $L$. The temperature-dependent…

Let $U\not\equiv \pm\infty$ be a $\delta$-subharmonic function on a closed disc of radius $R$ centered at zero. In the previous two parts of our paper, we obtained general and explicit estimates of the integral of the positive part of the…

It is well known that if $h$ is a nonnegative harmonic function in the ball of $\RR^{d+1}$ or if $h$ is harmonic in the ball with integrable boundary values, then the radial limit of $h$ exists at almost every point of the boundary. In this…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $R$ and $J=(x_1,...,x_d)$ a minimal reduction of $I$. We show that if $J_{d-1}=(x_1,...,x_{d-1})$ and…

We characterize Young measures generated by gradients of bi-Lipschitz orientation-preserving maps in the plane. This question is motivated by variational problems in nonlinear elasticity where the orientation preservation and injectivity of…
