The existence of a vector field on a compact Kaehler manifold with nonempty zero locus and the properties of this zero locus strongly influence the geometry of the manifold. For example, J. Wahl proved that the existence of a vector field…

On a convex bounded open set, we prove that Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from below in terms of the norm of the distance function in a suitable Lebesgue space. This generalizes a result…

Let $E$ be a finite-dimensional normed space and $\Omega$ a nonempty convex open set in $E$. We show that the Lipschitz-free space of $\Omega$ is canonically isometric to the quotient of $L^1(\Omega,E)$ by the subspace consisting of vector…

We prove the continuity of Sobolev functions $\varphi \in W^{1,n}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega)$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, that satisfy \[ \lvert\nabla \varphi(x)\rvert^n \le K(x)\bigl(\langle \nabla \varphi(x), \xi(x)\rangle + A(x)\bigr),…

Let ${\mathscr M}(p)$ $(p=2,3,\ldots)$ be the singlet vertex operator algebra and $\omega$ its conformal vector. We classify the simple weak ${\mathscr M}(p)$-modules with a non-zero element $u$ such that for some integer $s\geq 2$,…

We prove that if $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ is a set with finite perimeter with $\mathscr{H}^{N-1}(\partial \Omega\setminus\partial^* \Omega)=0$, then any set of finite perimeter $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ can be approximated by a…

We use localized topologies to prove existence and optimal regularity results for the divergence equation $\mathrm{div} (v) = F$ in critical cases $v \in L_1(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$ or $v \in C_0(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$, i.e. we characterize…

A divergence-free vector field satisfies the star property if any divergence-free vector field in some C1-neighborhood has all singularities and all periodic orbits hyperbolic. In this paper we prove that any divergence-free vector field…

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group $G$. We establish a Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem for a bounded vector field on $M$ satisfying a mild condition on zeros. As an…

For $\partial \Omega$ the boundary of a bounded and connected strongly Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with $d\geq3$, we prove that any field $f\in L^{2} (\partial \Omega ; \mathbb{R}^{d})$ decomposes, in an unique way, as the sum of…
