We give a sufficient criterion, which we call stability, for a coarse Lipschitz map $f$ from a complete manifold $X$ with Ricci curvature bounded below to a proper Hadamard space $Y$ to be within bounded distance of a harmonic map. We prove…

Given any $d$-dimensional Lipschitz Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with heat kernel $\mathsf{p}$, we establish uniform upper bounds on $\mathsf{p}$ which can always be decoupled in space and time. More precisely, we prove the existence of a…

We consider a metric measure space with a local regular Dirichlet form. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for upper heat kernel bounds with sub-diffusive space-time exponent to hold. This characterization is stable under…

We study Sobolev spaces of radial functions on spherically symmetric Riemannian manifolds. Using geodesic polar coordinates, we give a sharp one-dimensional reduction: a radial function belongs to the Sobolev space on the manifold if and…

We generalize the notion of calibrated submanifolds to smooth maps and show that the several examples of smooth maps appearing in the differential geometry become the examples of our situation. Moreover, we apply these notion to give the…

We continue our study [Ou4] of f-biharmonic maps and f-biharmonic submanifolds by exploring the applications of f-biharmonic maps and the relationships among biharmonicity, f-biharmonicity and conformality of maps between Riemannian…

We prove that planar homeomorphisms can be approximated by diffeomorphisms in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ and in the Royden algebra. As an application, we show that every discrete and open planar mapping with a holomorphic Hopf differential…

The purpose of this note is twofold. First we show that, for weakly differentiable maps between Riemannian manifolds of any dimension, a smallness condition on a Morrey-norm of the gradient is sufficient to guarantee that the pulled-back…

We develop an intrinsic, heat-kernel based fractional Sobolev framework on closed Riemannian manifolds and study the critical fractional Sobolev embedding. We determine the optimal coefficient of the lower-order $L^{p}$ term and prove that…

We prove that a Sobolev map from a Riemannian manifold into a complete metric space pushes forward almost every compactly supported integral current to an Ambrosio--Kirchheim integral current in the metric target, where "almost every" is…
