Let $\mathfrak{P}$ be a topological property. We study the relation between the order structure of the set of all $\mathfrak{P}$-extensions of a completely regular space $X$ with compact remainder (partially ordered by the standard partial…
Given a charge and current distribution with compact support, the associated potentials and fields are generally not integrable in the classical sense. However, it is convenient to be able to define their Fourier transform in order to…
We give an overview of some applications of a general variational principle.
The existence of extremal functions for the Sobolev trace inequalities is studied using the concentration compactness theorem. The conjectured extremal, the function of conformal factor, is considered and is proved to be an actual extremal…
We give a precise mathematical formulation of a variational model for the irreversible quasi-static evolution of brittle fractures proposed by G.A. Francfort and J.-J. Marigo, and based on Griffith's theory of crack growth. In the…
This paper is concerned with asymptotic behavior of a variety of functionals of increments of continuous semimartingales. Sampling times are assumed to follow a rather general discretization scheme. If an underlying semimartingale is…
We establish the existence of complete K\"ahler metrics of semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature with many zeroes in an interesting and natural geometric setting. Specifically, we use Calabi's Ansatz in the form due to Koiso-Sakane…
We study three quasicontinuum approximations of a lattice model for crack propagation. The influence of the approximation on the bifurcation patterns is investigated. The estimate of the modeling error is applicable to near and beyond…
We analyze a finite-difference approximation of a functional of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type in brittle fracture, in the discrete-to-continuum limit. In a suitable regime between the competing scales, namely if the discretization step $\delta$…

We discuss the stabilization of the conformal factor by higher derivative terms in a conformally reduced $R+R^2$ Euclidean gravity theory. The flat spacetime is unstable towards the condensation of modes with nonzero momentum, and they…

We investigate the relationship between the compactness of embeddings of Sobolev spaces built upon rearrangement-invariant spaces into rearrangement-invariant spaces endowed with $d$-Ahlfors measures under certain restriction on the speed…
A CR version of the Greene-Krantz theorem \cite{GK} for the semicontinuity of complex automorphism groups will be provided. This is not only a generalization but also an intrinsic interpretation of the Greene-Krantz theorem.
We construct a semi-stable formal model of a wide open rigid curve with a semi-stable covering, and study the l-adic cohomology of the rigid curve. We describe the l-adic cohomology of the rigid curve using the l-adic cohomology of the…
The aim of this paper is to investigate weakly developable spaces. For a comparison with semi-metrizable spaces, we introduce and study a class of spaces among those of weakly developable spaces, semimetrizable spaces and first countable…
We give computational results to study the accuracy of several quasicontinuum methods for two benchmark problems - the stability of a Lomer dislocation pair under shear and the stability of a lattice to plastic slip under tensile loading.…
Semiflexible polymers are widely used as a paradigm for understanding structural phases in biomolecules including folding of proteins. Here, we compare bead-spring and bead-stick variants of coarse-grained semiflexible polymer models that…

We review recent developments in the determination of parton densities from deep inelastic and related data. We show how the asymmetries observed in the W+- rapidity distributions and in pp/pn Drell-Yan production further constrain the…
