We prove nonexistence of nonconstant local minimizers for a class of functionals, which typically appears in the scalar two-phase field model, over a smooth N-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary with non-negative Ricci…
Quaternionic analysis, which describes conformal maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^3$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$, is extended to weakly conformal maps. As a consequence we present a new proof that on any compact Riemann surface $X$ the…

Any closed, connected Riemannian manifold $M$ can be smoothly embedded by its Laplacian eigenfunction maps into $\mathbb{R}^m$ for some $m$. We call the smallest such $m$ the maximal embedding dimension of $M$. We show that the maximal…

We study the problem of minimizing the functional $$ I(\varphi)=\int\limits_{\Omega} W(x,D\varphi)\,dx $$ on a new class of mappings. We relax summability conditions for admissible deformations to $\varphi\in W^1_n(\Omega)$ and growth…

It is known that the surface of a cone over the unit disc with large height has smaller distortion than the standard embedding of the 2-sphere in $\mathbb R^3$. In this note we show that distortion minimisers exist among convex embedded…
For a compact $(2n+1)$-dimensional smooth manifold, let $\mu_M : B Diff_\partial (D^{2n+1}) \to B Diff (M)$ be the map that is defined by extending diffeomorphisms on an embedded disc by the identity. By a classical result of Farrell and…
In this paper, we establish a min-max theory for constructing minimal disks with free boundary in any closed Riemannian manifold. The main result is an effective version of the partial Morse theory for minimal disks with free boundary…
Let $M$ be a compact, orientable, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, $n\geq2$, and let $F$ be the energy functional acting on the space $\Xi (M)$ of $C^{\infty }$ vector fields of $M$, \[ F(X):=\frac{\int_{M}\left\Vert \nabla X\right\Vert…
The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional defined on the space of vector fields $H^1(S,T)$, where $S$ and $T$ are surfaces of revolution. The energy functional we consider is closely related…
