We consider N-body problems with homogeneous potential $1/r^{2\kappa}$ where $\kappa\in(0,1)$, including the Newtonian case ($\kappa=1/2$). Given $R>0$ and $T>0$, we find a uniform upper bound for the minimal action of paths binding in time…
We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…
The paper is concerned with Lane-Emden and Brezis-Nirenberg problems involving the affine $p$-laplace nonlocal operator $\Delta_p^{\cal A}$, which has been introduced in \cite{HJM5} driven by the affine $L^p$ energy ${\cal E}_{p,\Omega}$…

We consider Kaluza-Klein (KK) models where internal spaces are compact Einstein spaces. These spaces are stabilized by background matter (e.g., monopole form-fields). We perturb this background by a compact matter source (e.g., the system…

We study sets of $N$ points on the $d-$dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ minimizing interaction functionals of the type \[ \sum_{i, j =1 \atop i \neq j}^{N}{ f(x_i - x_j)}. \] The main result states that for a class of functions $f$ that…

We investigate separation properties of $N$-point configurations that minimize discrete Riesz $s$-energy on a compact set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$. When $A$ is a smooth $(p-1)$-dimensional manifold without boundary and $s\in [p-2, p-1)$, we…
In this paper we elaborate on the interplay between energy optimization, positive definiteness, and discrepancy. In particular, assuming the existence of a $K$-invariant measure $\mu$ with full support, we show that conditional positive…
This paper considers minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional in special multiscale spaces that are based on finite elements. The spaces are constructed by localized orthogonal decomposition techniques and their usage for solving…

In this article, we investigate the connection between certain real variable things and the Bergman theory. We first use Hardy-type inequalities to give an $L^2$ Hartogs-type extension theorem and an $L^p$ integrability theorem for the…
We develop a theory of existence of minimizers of energy functionals in vectorial problems based on a nonlocal gradient under Dirichlet boundary conditions. The model shares many features with the peridynamics model and is also applicable…
