We extend monotonicity-based inversion methods to an inverse coefficient problem for the isotropic nonlocal elliptic equation \[ (-\nabla \cdot \sigma \nabla)^s u = 0 \quad \text{in } \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n, \] where $0 < s < 1$, $n…

The inverse problem of special geometry (Seiberg-Witten geometry of 4d N=2 SCFT) asks for a recursive construction of all such geometries in rank $r$ by assembling together known lower-rank ``strata''. This leads to a program to…

We continue our study [Ou4] of f-biharmonic maps and f-biharmonic submanifolds by exploring the applications of f-biharmonic maps and the relationships among biharmonicity, f-biharmonicity and conformality of maps between Riemannian…

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $\alpha$, we consider the problem of restoring the metric $g$ and the magnetic potential $\alpha$ from the values of the Ma\~n\'e action potential between…

A Real structure on a $4$-manifold $X$ is an orientation preserving smooth involution $\sigma$. We say that an embedded surface $\Sigma \subset X$ is Real if $\sigma$ maps $\Sigma$ to itself orientation reversingly. We prove that a…

We consider a surface $M$ immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with induced metric $g=\psi\delta_2$ where $\delta_2$ is the two dimensional Euclidean metric. We then construct a system of partial differential equations that constrain $M$ to lift to a…

In this paper, we prove a uniform approximation theorem with interpolation for complete conformal minimal surfaces with finite total curvature in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ $(n\ge 3)$. As application, we obtain a Mittag-Leffler type…

We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…

We prove that if $\Sigma$ is a closed surface of genus at least 3 and $G$ is a split real semisimple Lie group of rank at least $3$ acting faithfully by isometries on a symmetric space $N$, then there exists a Hitchin representation…

We consider a helicoidal group $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and unbounded $G$-invariant $C^{2,\alpha}$-domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose helicoidal projections are exterior domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq2$. We show that for…

Surface mapping plays an important role in geometric processing. They induce both area and angular distortions. If the angular distortion is bounded, the mapping is called a {\it quasi-conformal} map. Many surface maps in our physical world…
