We introduce and study a notion of relative 1-homotopy type for Sobolev maps from a surface to a metric space spanning a given collection of Jordan curves. We use this to establish the existence and local H\"older regularity of area…

This paper establishes sufficient general conditions for the existence of Mosco limits of Korevaar-Schoen $L^2$ energies, first in the context of Cheeger spaces and then in the context of fractal-like spaces with walk dimension greater than…

In sub-Riemannian geometry there exist, in general, no known explicit representations of the heat kernels, and these functions fail to have any symmetry whatsoever. In particular, they are not a function of the control distance, nor they…

In this article we present Sobolev-type inequalities for the localization of pseudo-relativistic energy.

We show that a class of spaces of vector fields whose semi-norms involve the magnitude of "directional" difference quotients is in fact equivalent to the class of fractional Sobolev spaces. The equivalence can be considered a Korn-type…

In this article, we introduce and study capacities related to nonlocal Sobolev spaces, with focus on spaces corresponding to zero-order nonlocal operators. In particular, we prove Hardy-type inequalities to obtain Sobolev embeddings and use…

In the present paper we study the minimization of energy integrals on the sphere with a focus on an interesting clustering phenomenon: for certain types of potentials, optimal measures are discrete or are supported on small sets. In…

We study a Sobolev-type inequality involving the $p$-curl operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove the existence of a minimizer which yields a solution to the $p$-curl-curl equation in the critical case. The problem is motivated both by…

We prove the elementary but surprising fact that the Hofer distance between two closed subsets of a symplectic manifold can be expressed in terms of the restrictions of Hamiltonians to one of the subsets; this helps explain certain…

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…

We establish a new monotonicity formula for minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional in planar domains. Our formula follows the spirit of Bucur-Luckhaus, but works with the David-L\'eger entropy instead of the energy. Interestingly, this…

We prove a compactness and integral-representation theorem for sequences of families of lattice energies describing atomistic interactions defined on lattices with vanishing lattice spacing. The densities of these energies may depend on…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\mathcal H$ the space of K\"ahler metrics cohomologous to $\omega$. If a cscK metric exists in $\mathcal H$, we show that all finite energy minimizers of the extended K-energy are smooth…

In this note, we give the affirmative answer of the question in [18], which is a compactness result of the non-radial Sobolev spaces. As an application, we show the existence of an extremal function of the critical Hardy inequality under…

We prove the sub-Riemannian analog of the area formula for Lipschitz (in sub-Riemannian sense) mappings of equiregular Carnot--Carath\'{e}odory spaces.

Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and metastable configurations correspond to…

We give a Sobolev inequality characterisation for the vanishing of a fundamental class in the controlled coarse homology of Nowak and Spakula for quasiconvex uniform spaces that support a local weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality. As…

In this paper we prove the lower semicontinuity of a Neohookean-type energy for a model of Nonlinear Elasticity that allows, for the first time, for $p<n-1$. Our class of admissible deformations consists of weak limits of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$…

We prove various representations and density results for Hardy spaces of holomorphic functions for two classes of bounded domains in $\mathbb C^n$, whose boundaries satisfy minimal regularity conditions (namely the classes $C^2$ and…

In this note, we study the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from strongly rectifiable spaces into regular balls in $\CAT(1)$ space. Under the setting, we prove that the Korevaar-Schoen energy admits a unique minimizer.
