Verifying lower-semicontinuity of integral functionals in the weak topology of Sobolev spaces is a central theme in the calculus of variations. For integral functionals with $p$-growth, quasiconvexity is a necessary condition for weak…
This paper introduces the construction of a weakly globular double category of fractions for a category and studies its universal properties. It shows that this double category is locally small and considers a couple of concrete examples.
This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.
Derived from the concentration-compactness principle, the concept of generalized minimizer can be used to define generalized solutions of variational problems which may have components ``infinitely'' distant from each other. In this article…
In this paper we survey some recent results on the central limit theorem and its weak invariance principle for stationary sequences. We also describe several maximal inequalities that are the main tool for obtaining the invariance…

We provide a uniform law for the weak convergence of additive functionals of partial sum processes to the local times of linear fractional stable motions, in a setting sufficiently general for statistical applications. Our results are…
We study a broad class of local homeomorphisms and continuous potentials, proving the existence and uniqueness of weak Gibbs measures. From the Gibbs property, we show the uniqueness of equilibrium states and derive a large deviations…
We completely characterize the weak differentiability (or, in other words Gateaux differentiability) of the norm in the spaces of bounded multilinear maps. Also, we obtain a multilinear generalization of the well-known Bhatia-\v{S}emrl…

We prove the reduction principle for asymptotics of functionals of vector random fields with weakly and strongly dependent components. These functionals can be used to construct new classes of random fields with skewed and heavy-tailed…
We compare different local-global principles for torsors under a reductive group G defined over a semiglobal field F. In particular if the F-group G s a retract rational F-variety, we prove that the local global principle holds for the…
In this paper we state some sharp maximum principle, i.e. we characterize the geometry of the sets of minima for supersolutions of equations involving the $k$-\emph{th fractional truncated Laplacian} or the $k$-\emph{th fractional…
We extend the De Giorgi--Nash--Moser theory to superposition operators of mixed fractional operators. In particular, we investigate several regularity properties for this class of operators. We establish the Caccioppoli-type inequality with…
In this paper we establish weak continuity results for the distribution Jacobian minors in fractional sobolev spaces, which can be seen as a extension of recent work of Brezis and Nguyen on the distributional Jacobian determinant. Then we…
In this short communication, we present a generalization of the Ekeland variational principle. The main result is established through standard tools of functional analysis and calculus of variations. The novelty here is a result involving…
We give sufficient Gordin-type criteria for the iterated (enhanced) weak invariance principle to hold for deterministic dynamical systems. Such an invariance principle is intrinsically related to the interpretation of stochastic integrals.…
The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…
We consider four prototypes of variational problems and prove the existence of fractal minimizers through the direct method in the calculus of variations. By design these minimizers are H\"older curves or H\"older parametrizations of…
