We extend Federer's coarea formula to mappings $f$ belonging to the Sobolev class $W^{1,p}(R^n;R^m)$, $1 \le m < n$, $p>m$, and more generally, to mappings with gradient in the Lorentz space $L^{m,1}(R^n)$. This is accomplished by showing…

We consider Hardy operators, i.e., homogeneous Schr\"odinger operators consisting of the ordinary or fractional Laplacian in a half-space plus a potential, which only depends on the appropriate power of the distance to the boundary of the…

Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

We study harmonic maps from Riemannian manifolds into arbitrary non-positively curved and CAT(-1) metric spaces. First we discuss the domain variation formula with special emphasis on the error terms. Expanding higher order terms of this…

We obtain a compact Sobolev embedding for $H$-invariant functions in compact metric-measure spaces, where $H$ is a subgroup of the measure preserving bijections. In Riemannian manifolds, $H$ is a subgroup of the volume preserving…

An important result in the theory of harmonic maps is due to Benoist--Hulin: given a quasi-isometry $f:X\to Y$ between pinched Hadamard manifolds, there exists a unique harmonic map at a finite distance from $f$. Here we show existence of…

Let $(S,g_0)$ be a hyperbolic surface, $\rho$ be a Hitchin representation for $PSL(n,\mathbb R)$, and $f$ be the unique $\rho$-equivariant harmonic map from $(\widetilde S, \widetilde g_0)$ to the corresponding symmetric space. We show its…

Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a doubling metric measure space endowed with a Dirichlet form $\E$ deriving from a "carr\'e du champ". Assume that $(X,d,\mu,\E)$ supports a scale-invariant $L^2$-Poincar\'e inequality. In this article, we study the…

Let $(N,\rho)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $S$ a surface of genus at least two and let $f\colon S \to N$ be a continuous map. We consider the energy spectrum of $(N,\rho)$ (and $f$) which assigns to each point $[J]\in \mathcal{T}(S)$ in the…

We study the structure of Sobolev spaces on the cartesian/warped products of a given metric measure space and an interval. Our main results are: - the characterization of the Sobolev spaces in such products - the proof that, under natural…

The present paper introduces the concept of monotone Hopf-harmonics in $2D$ as an alternative to harmonic homeomorphisms. It opens a new area of study in Geometric Function Theory (GFT). Much of the foregoing is motivated by the principle…
