Recently, Kurtz (2007, 2014) obtained a general version of the Yamada-Watanabe and Engelbert theorems relating existence and uniqueness of weak and strong solutions of stochastic equations covering also the case of stochastic differential…
We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on four-manifolds possessing finitely-many conical points with $\mathbb{Z}_2$-group, using for the first time a min-max scheme in the singular setting. In our variational argument we need to deform…
We consider the entanglement marginal problem, which consists of deciding whether a number of reduced density matrices are compatible with an overall separable quantum state. To tackle this problem, we propose hierarchies of semidefinite…
In this paper, we study solutions for a weakly coupled system of eikonal equations arising in an optimal path-planning problem with random breakdown. The model considered takes into account two types of breakdown for the vehicle, partial…
We consider Yamabe-type equations on the Riemannian product of constant curvature metrics on $\textbf{S}^n \times\textbf{ S}^n$, and study solutions which are invariant by the cohomogeneity one diagonal action of $O(n+1)$. We obtain…
We show pathwise uniqueness for a class of degenerate It\^{o}-SDE among all of its weak solutions that spend zero time at the points of degeneracy of the dispersion matrix. Consequently, by the Yamada-Watanabe Theorem and a weak existence…
Given a quantum system consisting of many parts, we show that symmetry of the system's state, i.e., invariance under swappings of the subsystems, implies that almost all of its parts are virtually identical and independent of each other.…
We obtain uncountably many periodic solutions to the singular Yamabe problem on a round sphere, that blow up along a great circle. These are (complete) constant scalar curvature metrics on the complement of $S^1$ inside $S^m$, $m\geq 5$,…
In this paper, we investigate the stability of minimizing Yamabe metrics on compact manifolds with boundary, in the sense introduced by Escobar. We show that if a function nearly minimizes the Yamabe energy, then the associated conformal…
By introducing a more flexible notion of convexity, we obtain a new Omori-Yau maximum principle for harmonic maps. In the spirit of the Calabi-Yau conjectures, this principle is more suitable for studying the unboundedness of certain…
The isoperimetric problem asks for the maximum area of a region of given perimeter. It is natural to consider other measurements of a region, such as the diameter and width, and ask for the extreme value of one when another is fixed. The…
A complete classification of space-time models is presented, which admit the privileged coordinate systems, where the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a test particle is integrated by the method of complete separation of variables with…
The Yamabe problem in compact closed Riemannian manifolds is concerned with finding a metric with constant scalar curvature in the conformal class of a given metric. This problem was solved by the combined work of Yamabe, Trudinger, Aubin,…
We complete the classification (started by Bray and the second author) of all closed 3-manifolds with Yamabe invariant greater than that of $\RP^3$, by showing that such manifolds are either $S^3$ or finite connected sums $# m(S^2 \times…
Assume that $(X, g^+)$ is an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold, $(M, [\bar{h}])$ is its conformal infinity, $\rho$ is the geodesic boundary defining function associated to $\bar{h}$ and $\bar{g} = \rho^2 g^+$. For any $\gamma \in (0,1)$,…
This survey synthesizes the current state of the art on the regularity theory for solutions to the optimal partition problem. Namely, we consider non-negative, vector-valued Sobolev functions whose components have mutually disjoint support,…
We provide a simplified characterization of entanglement in physical systems which are symmetric under the action of subgroups of the symmetric group acting on the party labels. Sets of entanglements are inherently equal, lying in the same…
The notion of Laplace invariants is transferred to the lattices and discrete equations which are difference analogs of hyperbolic PDE's with two independent variables. The sequence of Laplace invariants satisfy the discrete analog of…
We consider the problem of rigorously computing periodic minimizers to the Ohta-Kawasaki energy. We develop a method to prove existence of solutions and determine rigorous bounds on the distance between our numerical approximations and the…
We consider asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds whose metrics have Sobolev-class regularity, and introduce several technical tools for studying PDEs on such manifolds. Our results employ two novel families of function spaces suitable for…
