Let $X$ be a proper, non-compact CAT(-1) space, and $\Gamma$ a discrete cocompact subgroup of the isometries of $X$. We compactify the diagonal action of $\Gamma$ on $X \times X$ considering a domain of the horofunction boundary with…

We prove a compactness theorem for metrics with Bounded Integral Curvature on a fixed closed surface $\Sigma$. As a corollary, we obtain a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities, where an accumulation…

We carry out the spatially periodic homogenization of nonlinear bending theory for plates. The derivation is rigorous in the sense of Gamma-convergence. In contrast to what one naturally would expect, our result shows that the limiting…

Based on methods of structural convergence we provide a unifying view of local-global convergence, fitting to model theory and analysis. The general approach outlined here provides a possibility to extend the theory of local-global…

In this work we obtain a compactness result for the $H-$convergence of a family of nonlocal and nonlinear monotone elliptic-type problems by means of Tartar's method of oscillating test functions.

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…

We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…

In this talk, we'll present some recent results related to group actions in several complex variables. We'll not aim at giving a complete survey about the topic but giving some our own results and related ones. We'll divide the results into…

We classify locally finite joinings with respect to the Burger-Roblin measure for the action of a horospherical subgroup $U$ on $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G = \operatorname{SO}(n,1)^\circ$ and $\Gamma$ is a convex cocompact and Zariski…

We establish a framework that allows to prove Gamma-converge of functionals of Lagrangian form on spaces of trajectories based on convergence of viscosity solutions of associated Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Gamma convergence follows from a:…

We study conformal properties of local terms such as contact terms and semi-local terms in correlation functions of a conformal field theory. Not all of them are universal observables but they do appear in physically important correlation…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

We provide integral representation and $\Gamma$-compactness results for anisotropic local functionals depending on arbitrary Lipschitz continuous vector fields. In particular, neither bracket-generating assumptions nor linear independence…

We prove a homogenization theorem for a class of quadratic convolution energies with random coefficients. Under suitably stated hypotheses of ergodicity and stationarity we prove that the $\Gamma$-limit of such energy is almost surely a…

A connected, locally finite graph $\Gamma$ is a Cayley--Abels graph for a totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ if $G$ acts vertex-transitively with compact, open vertex stabilizers on $\Gamma$. Define the minimal degree of $G$ as…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

Let $J$ be a semisimple Lie group with all simple factors of real rank at least two. Let $\Gamma<J$ be a lattice. We prove a very general local rigidity result about actions of $J$ or $\Gamma$. This shows that almost all so-called "standard…

Let $R$ be commutative Noetherian ring and let $\fa$ be an ideal of $R$. For complexes $X$ and $Y$ of $R$--modules we investigate the invariant $\inf{\mathbf R}\Gamma_{\fa}({\mathbf R}\Hom_R(X,Y))$ in certain cases. It is shown that, for…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour via Gamma-convergence of some integral functionals which model some multi-dimensional structures and depend explicitly on the linearized strain tensor. The functionals are defined in…

This work is devoted to the analysis of the interplay between internal variables and high-contrast microstructure in inelastic solids. As a concrete case-study, by means of variational techniques, we derive a macroscopic description for an…
