For orbifolds admitting a crepant resolution and satisfying a hard Lefschetz condition, we formulate a conjectural equivalence between the Gromov-Witten theories of the orbifold and the resolution. We prove the conjecture for the…

A classical result of Milman roughly states that every Lipschitz function on $\mathbb{S}^n$ is almost constant on a sufficiently high-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^m\subset \mathbb{S}^n$. In this paper we extend the result by proving that…

In this paper, we study the symmetry properties of nondegenerate critical points of shape functionals using the implicit function theorem. We show that, if a shape functional is invariant with respect to some continuous group of rotations,…

It was established in [8] that Lipschitz inf-compact functions are uniquely determined by their local slope and critical values. Compactness played a paramount role in this result, ensuring in particular the existence of critical points. We…

This article considers the Lipschitz space with mixed logarithmic smoothness of $2\pi$ periodic functions of several variables. We obtain equivalent descriptions of the norm of the Lipschitz space and prove embedding theorems between Besov…

In this paper, some existence results for sign-changing critical points of locally Lipschitz functionals in real Banach space are obtained by the method combining the invariant sets of descending ow method with a quantitative deformation.…

We show that for every Lipschitz function $f$ defined on a separable Riemannian manifold $M$ (possibly of infinite dimension), for every continuous $\epsilon:M\to (0,+\infty)$, and for every positive number $r>0$, there exists a $C^\infty$…

Recent work showed that a theorem of Joris (that a function $f$ is smooth if two coprime powers of $f$ are smooth) is valid in a wide variety of ultradifferentiable classes $\mathcal C$. The core of the proof was essentially…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for stationary biharmonic maps $u$ from a bounded, smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 5$) to a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold $N\subset\mathbb R^l$ without boundary. For any smooth…

In 1967, Kadison asked ``does every type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor have an orthonormal (with respect to the trace) basis consisting of unitaries?'' Using a noncommutative Lyapunov theorem of Akemann and Weaver, we prove that if $M$ is a…

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing functionals of the form $E(u)=\int_B f(x,\nabla u) \,dx$ in a suitably prepared class of incompressible, planar maps $u: B \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. Here, $B$ is the unit disk and…

We give a new elementary proof of the following theorem: if all critical points of a rational function g belong to the real line then there exists a fractional linear transformation L such that L(g) is a real rational function. Then we…

We consider the Benjamin-Ono equation on the real line for initial data in weighted Sobolev spaces. After the application of the gauge transform, the flow is shown to be Lipschitz continuous and to present a nonlinear smoothing effect. As a…

Orthonormal systems in commutative $L_2$ spaces can be used to classify Banach spaces. When the system is complete and satisfies certain norm condition the unconditionality with respect to the system characterizes Hilbert spaces. As a…

We show that for any uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear second-order equation with bounded measurable "coefficients" and bounded "free" term one can find an approximating equation which has a unique continuous and having the second…

We show that the universal covering space of a connected component of a regular level set of a smooth complex valued function on ${\mathbb{C}}^2$, which is a smooth affine Riemann surface, is ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. This implies that the orbit…

W. T. Gowers proved that every Lipschitz function from the unit sphere of the Banach space $c_0$ to $\mathbb{R}$ is oscilation stable. His proof uses a result about finite partitions of the set $FIN_k$ of finitely supported functions $p$…

We consider the homogeneous Landau equation in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Coulomb potential and initial data in polynomially weighted $L^{3/2}$. We show that there exists a smooth solution that is bounded for all positive times. The proof is based…

It is well-known that a function on an open set in $\mathbb R^d$ is smooth if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., its composites with all smooth curves are smooth. In recent work, we extended this and related results (for instance, a real…

In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…
