We propose a novel type of duality that connects a sequence of well-known theories with even-multiplicity scalar amplitudes: it relates the Yang-Mills theory coupled to a specific scalar matter sector to the nonlinear sigma model on a…
We discuss Monge-Amp\`ere equations from the view point of differential geometry. It is known that a Monge-Amp\`ere equation corresponds to a special exterior differential system on a 1-jet space. In this paper, we generalize Monge-Amp\`ere…
We propose a new variational formulation of the elliptic Monge-Ampere equation and show how classical Lagrange elements can be used for the numerical resolution of classical solutions of the equation. Error estimates are given for Lagrange…
We show that degenerate complex Monge-Ampere equations in a big cohomology class of a compact Kaehler manifold can be solved using a variational method independent of Yau's theorem. Our formulation yields in particular a natural…
We consider a two-phase elliptic-parabolic moving boundary problem modelling an evaporation front in a porous medium. Our main result is a proof of short-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the corresponding nonlinear…

Using the mould formalism introduced by Jean Ecalle, we define and study the geometric complexity of an isochronous center condition. The role played by several Lie ideals is discussed coming from the interplay between the universal mould…
In the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach to 2D integrable, ADE-related quantum field theories one derives a set of algebraic functional equations (a Y-system) which play a prominent role. This set of equations is mapped into the problem…
A solution to the 50 year old problem of a spinning particle in curved space has been recently derived using an extension of Clifford calculus in which each geometric element has its own coordinate. This leads us to propose that all the…
We study phase transitions in the thermodynamic description of Pomeau-Manneville intermittent maps from the point of view of infinite ergodic theory, which deals with diverging measure dynamical systems. For such systems, we use a…
We introduce a parabolic analogue of the elliptic split-type Monge-Amp\`ere equation developed by Fang and the author, extending Streets' twisted Monge-Amp\`ere equation. The resulting equation is fully nonlinear and non-concave. We prove…
We study a Monge-Amp\`ere type equation that interpolates the classical {\sigma_2} -Yamabe equation in conformal geometry and the 2-Hessian equation in dimension 4.
The Voronoi diagram-based dual-front active contour models are known as a powerful and efficient way for addressing the image segmentation and domain partitioning problems. In the basic formulation of the dual-front models, the evolving…
We have previously observed that the theory of solutions of partial differential equations, regarded as diffieties inside jet bundles, acquires a powerful comonadic formulation after passage from the category of Fr\'echet smooth manifolds…
The symmetry reduction of dynamical systems that are invariant under changes of global scale is well-understood for classical theories of particles, and fields. The excision of the superfluous degree of freedom generating such rescalings…
A simplified model for a planet's atmosphere as an open two-dimensional Chern-Simons system is presented. The dynamical variables describe an ideal gas by its velocity, mass density, temperature and pressure. Radiation exchange, diffusion…
We study the solvability of singular Abreu equations which arise in the approximation of convex functionals subject to a convexity constraint. Previous works established the solvability of their second boundary value problems either in two…
Eisenstein Loeb and Turner (ELT) have recently proposed a method for estimating the dynamical masses of large-scale filaments, whereby the filament is modeled by an axisymmetric, isothermal cylinder, for which ELT derive a global relation…

We prove that to each initial datum in a set of positive measure in phase space, there exist uncountably-many associated weak solutions of Newton's equations of motion which govern the dynamics of two non-spherical sets with real-analytic…
