In this paper, we investigate the minimization of a functional in which the usual perimeter is competing with a nonlocal singular term comparable (but not necessarily equal to) a fractional perimeter. The motivation for this problem is a…
Whether or not the solution to 2D resistive MHD equations is globally smooth remains open. This paper establishes the global regularity of solutions to the 2D almost resistive MHD equations, which require the dissipative operators…
We consider a Canham-Helfrich-type variational problem defined over closed surfaces enclosing a fixed volume and having fixed surface area. The problem models the shape of multiphase biomembranes. It consists of minimizing the sum of the…
The optimal local Lipschitz regularity for scalar almost-minimizers of Alt-Caffarelli-type functionals $$ \mathcal{F}({v}; \Omega) = \int_\Omega \varphi(x,\left|\nabla v(x) \right|)+ \lambda \chi_{\{{v} >0\}} (x) \, \mathrm{d}x\,, $$ with…
For a fixed constant $\lambda > 0$ and a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 2$, we establish that almost-minimizers (functions satisfying a sort of variational inequality) of the Alt-Caffarelli type…
We construct a continuous Lagrangian, strictly convex and superlinear in the third variable, such that the associated variational problem has a Lipschitz minimizer which is non-differentiable on a dense set. More precisely, the upper and…
The fractionalization of global symmetry charges is a striking hallmark of topological quantum order. Here, we discuss the fractionalization of subsystem symmetries in two-dimensional topological phases. In line with previous no-go…
We consider a time-fractional parabolic equation of doubly nonlinear type, featuring nonlinear terms both inside and outside the differential operator in time. The main nonlinearities are maximal monotone graphs, without restrictions on the…
In this work we consider the problem of global existence of small regular solutions to a type nonlinear wave-Klein-Gordon system with semi-linear interactions in two spatial dimension. We develop some new techniques on both wave equations…
The recent literature has intensively studied two classes of nonlocal variational problems, namely the ones related to the minimisation of energy functionals that act on functions in suitable Sobolev-Gagliardo spaces, and the ones related…
We are interested in the study of local and global minimizers for an energy functional of the type $$ \frac{1}{4} \iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2 N} \setminus \left( \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega \right)^2} |u(x) - u(y)|^2 K(x - y) \, dx dy +…
We study $H^1$ versus $C^1$ local minimizers for functionals defined on spaces of symmetric functions, namely functions that are invariant by the action of some subgroups of $\mathcal{O}(N)$. These functionals, in many cases, are associated…
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator related to the square root Laplacian as defined…
The technique of Caffarelli and Silvestre, characterizing the fractional Laplacian as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a function U satisfying an elliptic equation in the upper half space with one extra spatial dimension, is shown to hold…
We establish sharp energy estimates for some solutions, such as global minimizers, monotone solutions and saddle-shaped solutions, of the fractional nonlinear equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2} u=f(u)$ in $\re^n$. Our energy estimates hold for every…
We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

We consider general semilinear, multispeed Klein-Gordon systems in space dimension two with some non-degeneracy conditions. We prove that with small initial data such solutions are always global and scatter to a linear solution. This result…
Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…
We prove a strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli functional. We use this to construct a Hardt-Simon-type foliation associated to any 1-homogenous global minimizer.
