We use a new method to give conditions for the existence of a local isometric immersion of a Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$, for a given $n$ and $k$. These equate to the (local) existence of a $k$-tuple of scalar fields…

Consider the class of zero-mean functions with fixed $L^{\infty}$ and $L^1$ norms and exactly $N\in \mathbb{N}$ nodal points. Which functions $f$ minimize $W_p(f_+,f_-)$, the Wasserstein distance between the measures whose densities are the…
