This paper studies the structure and stability of boundaries in noncollapsed $\text{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces, that is, metric-measure spaces $(X,\mathsf{d},\mathscr{H}^N)$ with lower Ricci curvature bounded below. Our main structural result is…

We consider a family of Leray-$\alpha$ models with periodic boundary conditions in three space dimensions. Such models are a regularization, with respect to a parameter $\theta$, of the Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, they share…

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$-Dini domain $D$ such that $u$ vanishes on a boundary surface ball $\partial D \cap B_{5R}(0)$. We consider an effective version of its singular set (up to boundary) $\mathcal{S}(u):=\{X\in…

In this work we demonstrate that a class of some one and two phase free boundary problems can be recast as nonlocal parabolic equations on a submanifold. The canonical examples would be one-phase Hele Shaw flow, as well as its two-phase…
