We establish the optimal regularity of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian, $(-\Delta)^s u=h$ in $\Omega$, with the external condition $\mathcal N^s u=0$ in $\Omega^c$. For this, a key point is to establish a 1D…

We prove that any given function can be smoothly approximated by functions lying in the kernel of a linear operator involving at least one fractional component. The setting in which we work is very general, since it takes into account…
The low energy structure of a theory containing light and heavy particle species which are separated by a mass gap can adequately be described by an effective theory which contains only the light particles. In this work we present a…

This article studies large $N$ limits of a coupled system of $N$ interacting $\Phi^4$ equations posed over $\mathbb{T}^{d}$ for $d=2$, known as the $O(N)$ linear sigma model. Uniform in $N$ bounds on the dynamics are established, allowing…
The low lying spectrum of the O(n) effective field theory is calculated in the delta-regime in 3 and 4 space-time dimensions using lattice regularization to NNL order. It allows, in particular, to determine, using numerical simulations in…
An optimal first-order global regularity theory, in spaces of functions defined in terms of oscillations, is established for solutions to Dirichlet problems for the $p$-Laplace equation and system, with right-hand side in divergence form.…
Let $\Sigma$ be an oriented compact hypersurface in the round sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ or in the flat torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq 3$. In the case of the torus, $\Sigma$ is further assumed to be contained in a contractible subset of…
k-essence scalar field models are usually taken to have lagrangians of the form ${\mathcal L}=-V(\phi)F(X)$ with $F$ some general function of $X=\nabla_{\mu}\phi\nabla^{\mu}\phi$. Under certain conditions this lagrangian in the context of…
We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for a system of $N$ fermions bound in a local (mean-field) potential $V(\bfr)$. We generalize a recently developed semiclassical theory [J. Roccia and M. Brack, Phys. Rev.\ Lett. {\bf…
Similarly to the interaction lagrangian, the possible boundary conditions in quantum field theories on space-time manifolds with boundaries are strongly constrained by the symmetry and scaling properties of the theory. Based on this general…
