In this work, we study the Dirichlet problem associated with a strongly coupled system of nonlocal equations. The system of equations comes from a linearization of a model of peridynamics, a nonlocal model of elasticity. It is a nonlocal…
The task of finding a consistent relationship between a quantum Hamiltonian and a classical Lagrangian is of utmost importance for basic, but ubiquitous techniques like canonical quantization and path integrals. Nonconvex kinetic energies…
We construct a Hamiltonian formulation of quasilocal general relativity using an extended phase space that includes boundary coordinates as configuration variables. This allows us to use Hamiltonian methods to derive an expression for the…
We prove two compactness results for function spaces with finite Dirichlet energy of half-space nonlocal gradients. In each of these results, we provide sufficient conditions on a sequence of kernel functions that guarantee the asymptotic…
We consider a generalization of the Bernoulli free boundary problem where the underlying differential operator is a nonlocal, non-translation-invariant elliptic operator of order $2s\in (0,2)$. Because of the lack of translation invariance,…
In this paper we study the geometry of certain functionals associated to quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems with a degenerate nonlocal term of Kirchhoff type. Due to the degeneration of the nonlocal term it is not possible to…
We study the local behavior of the elements of a specific energy class of functions, called the nonlocal parabolic ($p$-homogenous) De Giorgi class. First we carry on an analysis of their local boundedness under optimal tail conditions, and…
We present in this work a new family of kernels to compare positive measures on arbitrary spaces $\Xcal$ endowed with a positive kernel $\kappa$, which translates naturally into kernels between histograms or clouds of points. We first cover…
Recently proposed nonlocal and nonperturbative late time behavior of the heat kernel is generalized to curved spacetimes. Heat kernel trace asymptotics is dominated by two terms one of which represents a trivial covariantization of the…
Using $\Gamma$-convergence, we study the Cahn-Hilliard problem with interface width parameter $\varepsilon > 0$ for phase transitions on manifolds with conical singularities. We prove that minimizers of the corresponding energy functional…
In this paper, we introduce a nonlocal, variational model for thin films. We consider convolution-type functionals defined on a thin domain whose thickness is of order $\gamma$, where the effective interactions range between points is of…
We consider a weighted nonlocal area functional in which the coefficients do not satisfy the triangle inequality. In the context of three phase transitions, this means that one of the weights is larger than the sum of the other two, say…
We discuss some results related to a phase transition model in which the potential energy induced by a double-well function is balanced by a fractional elastic energy. In particular, we present asymptotic results (such as…
For an irreducible representation $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma_g)\to\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ there is an energy functional $\mathrm{E}_\rho:\mathcal{T}_g\to\mathbb{R}$, defined on Teichm\"uller space by taking the energy of the associated…
We present a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality which bounds Lorentz norms of the function by Sobolev norms and homogeneous Besov quasinorms with negative smoothness. We prove also other versions involving Besov or Triebel-Lizorkin quasinorms.…
In this paper, we study the prototypical model of liquid-liquid phase separation, the Cahn-Hilliard functional, in a highly irregular setting. Specifically, we analyze potentials with low regularity vanishing on space-dependent wells. Under…
We analyze a nonlocal coupled system arising as the Euler--Lagrange equations of an energy functional involving regional fractional Laplacians of orders $s_1$ and $s_2$ ($ 0 < s_1,s_2 < 1$), each acting on a separate disjoint domain and…
Nonlocality is a key feature of quantum theory and is reflected in the violation of Bell inequalities for entangled systems. The experimental tests beyond the electromagnetism and massless quanta are of great importance for understanding…
In this paper we propose a family of tractable kernels that is dense in the family of bounded positive semi-definite functions (i.e. can approximate any bounded kernel with arbitrary precision). We start by discussing the case of stationary…
