This paper concerns the shape optimization problem of minimizing the ground state energy of the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian with constant magnetic field among three-dimensional domains of fixed volume. In contrast to the two-dimensional…
We solve an energy minimization problem for local fields. As an application of these results, we improve on lower bounds set by Bombieri and Zannier for the limit infimum of the Weil height in fields of totally p-adic numbers and…
In this work we investigate greedy energy sequences on the unit circle for the logarithmic and Riesz potentials. By definition, if $(a_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a greedy $s$-energy sequence on the unit circle, the Riesz potential…
For "Riesz-like" kernels $K(x,y)=f(|x-y|)$ on $A\times A$, where $A$ is a compact $d$-regular set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$, we prove a minimum principle for potentials $U_K^\mu=\int K(x,y)d\mu(x)$, where $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on…
For $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, a convex and bounded domain, we study the spectrum of $-\Delta_\Omega$ the Dirichlet Laplacian on $\Omega$. For $\Lambda\geq0$ and $\gamma \geq 0$ let $\Omega_{\Lambda, \gamma}(\mathcal{A})$ denote any…
In this article, we consider and analyse a small variant of a functional originally introduced in \cite{BLS,LS} to approximate the (geometric) planar Steiner problem. This functional depends on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and…

We address in this work the problem of minimizing quantum entropies under local constraints. We suppose macroscopic quantities such as the particle density, current, and kinetic energy are fixed at each point of $\Rm^d$, and look for a…
We introduce and study the unconstrained polarization (or Chebyshev) problem which requires to find an $N$-point configuration that maximizes the minimum value of its potential over a set $A$ in $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem…
In this paper we establish existence and properties of minimal energy solutions for the weakly coupled system $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u_i + \lambda_i u_i = \mu_i|u_i|^{Kq-2}u_i + \beta|u_i|^{q-2}u_i\prod_{j\neq i}|u_j|^q & \text{in…
The study deals with the theory of interior capacities of condensers in a locally compact space, a condenser being treated here as a countable, locally finite collection of arbitrary sets with the sign +1 or -1 prescribed such that the…
We study the regularity of minimizers of the functional $\mathcal E(u):= [u]_{H^s(\Omega)}^2 +\int_\Omega fu$. This corresponds to understanding solutions for the regional fractional Laplacian in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$. More precisely,…
A central focus of Ginzburg-Landau theory is the understanding and characterization of vortex configurations. On a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2,$ global minimizers, and critical states in general, of the corresponding energy…
We study a two parameter family of energy minimization problems for interaction energies $\mathcal{E}_{\alpha,\beta}$ with attractive-repulsive potential $W_{\alpha,\beta}$. We develop a concavity principle, which allows us to provide a…
In the theory of inner and outer balayage of positive Radon measures on a locally compact space $X$ to arbitrary $A\subset X$ with respect to suitable, quite general function kernels, developed in a series of the author's recent papers, we…
In this paper, by using variational methods we study the existence of positive solutions for the following Kirchhoff type problem: $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\left(a+b\mathlarger{\int}_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^{2}dx\right)\Delta u+V(x)u=u^{5},…

The qualitative behavior of the Rabinowitz unbounded continuum of subcritical Gelfand problems is well known on balls in any dimension. We don't know of any such sharp and detailed description otherwise, which is our motivation to look for…
The structure of the renormalization group equations for the low energy effective theory of gravity coupled to a scalar field is presented. An approximate solution to these equations with a finite number of independent renormalized…
