We investigate Sobolev and Hardy inequalities, specifically weighted Minerbe's type estimates, in noncompact complete connected Riemannian manifolds whose geometry is described by an isoperimetric profile. In particular, we assume that the…

We find conditions which ensure that the topological complexity of a closed manifold $M$ with abelian fundamental group is nonmaximal, and see through examples that our conditions are sharp. This generalizes results of Costa and Farber on…

We consider harmonic sections of a bundle over the complement of a codimension 2 submanifold in a Riemannian manifold, which can be thought of as multivalued harmonic functions. We prove a result to the effect that these are stable under…

Homogenization of integral functionals is studied under the constraint that admissible maps have to take their values into a given smooth manifold. The notion of tangential homogenization is defined by analogy with the tangential…

We study quasiconformal mappings in planar domains $\Omega$ and their regularity properties described in terms of Sobolev, Bessel potential or Triebel-Lizorkin scales. This leads to optimal conditions, in terms of the geometry of the…

We define the notion of colocally weakly differentiable maps from a manifold $M$ to a manifold $N$. If $p \ge 1$ and $M$ and $N$ are endowed with a Riemannian metric, this allows us to define intrinsically the homogeneous Sobolev space…

Our first main result gives assumptions guaranteeing that proper holomorphic maps between Cartan type I bounded symmetric domains have simple block matrix shape, answering positively a question of Mok. The proof is based on the second main…

Low-rank optimization problems with sparse simplex constraints involve variables that must satisfy nonnegativity, sparsity, and sum-to-1 conditions, making their optimization particularly challenging due to the interplay between low-rank…

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g>2, and let x be a fixed point. A framed bundle is a pair (E,\phi), where E is a vector bundle over X, of rank r and degree d, and \phi:E_x\to C^r is a non-zero homomorphism.…

Via Gauge theory, we give a new proof of partial regularity for harmonic maps in dimension m>2 into arbitrary targets. This proof avoids the use of adapted frames and permits to consider targets of "minimal" C^2 regularity. The proof we…

We characterize general pseudo-harmonic morphisms from a Riemannian manifold to a Hermitian manifold as pseudo horizontally weakly conformal maps with an additional property. We study to what extent we can (locally) describe these…

In this work we prove that any unitary Sobolev $W^{1,2}$ connection of an Hermitian bundle over a 2-dimensional K\"ahler manifold whose curvature is $(1,1)$ defines a smooth holomorphic structure. We prove moreover that such a connection…

This paper presents a perturbation analysis framework for nonsmooth optimization on connected Riemannian manifolds to bridge the gap between the rapid development of algorithmic approaches and a robust theoretical foundation. Using…

The present paper is devoted to the study of classes of mappings with non--bounded characteristics of quasiconformality. It is proved that the normal families of mappings distorting the families of mappings in ${\Bbb R}^n$ by special way,…

In a closed, oriented ambient manifold $(M^n,g)$ we consider the problem of finding $\mathbb{S}^1$-valued harmonic maps with prescribed singular set. We show that the boundary of any oriented $(n-1)$-submanifold can be realised as the…

We study the regularity of local minimisers of a prototypical free-discontinuity problem involving both a manifold-valued constraint on the maps (which are defined on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^2$) and a variable-exponent growth in…

An interesting observation is that most pairs of weakly homogeneous mappings have no strongly monotonic property, which is one of the key conditions to ensure the unique solvability of the generalized variational inequality. This paper…

The study of singular perturbations of the Dirichlet energy is at the core of the phenomenological-description paradigm in soft condensed matter. Being able to pass to the limit plays a crucial role in the understanding of the…

Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) have proven to be a successful data-reduction method to identify the intrinsic lower-dimensional sub-manifold of a data set that is scattered in the higher-dimensional feature space. Motivated by the…

We deal with the relaxed area functional in the strict $BV$-convergence of non-smooth maps defined in domains of generic dimension and taking values into the unit circle. In case of Sobolev maps, a complete explicit formula is obtained. Our…
