In any dimension $n\geq 3$, we prove an optimal stability estimate for the M\"obius group among maps $u\colon \mathbb S^{n-1} \to \mathbb R^n$, of the form $\inf_{\lambda>0,\phi\in \mathrm{M\"ob}(\mathbb S^{n-1})} \int_{\mathbb…

Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ in "convex order" on $\R^d$, we study the profile of one-step martingale plans $\pi$ on $\R^d\times \R^d$ that optimize the expected value of the modulus of their increment among all…

We introduce and study Laplacians on a finite metric graph endowed with generalized densities, that is, measures of finite mass. One important motivation is that this setting provides a common framework for several interesting classes of…

Let $\mu$ be a self-conformal measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. In this note we establish conditions for $\mu$ under which $\dim(\mu*\nu) = \min\lbrace d,\dim\mu+\dim\nu\rbrace$ holds when $\nu$ is any Ahlfors-regular or self-conformal measure on…

We establish quantitative stability bounds for the quadratic optimal transport map $T_\mu$ between a fixed probability density $\rho$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under general assumptions on $\rho$, we prove that the…

We are concerned with an harmonic analysis in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\br^n$. The unifying question is the presence of families of orthogonal (complex) exponentials $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i…

We study the properties of reflectionless measures for an $s$-dimensional Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$ acting in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $s\in (0,d)$. Roughly speaking, these are the measures $\mu$ for which $T(\mu)$ is constant on the…

For $n \geq 2$, we consider the operator $L_A = -\mathrm{div }(A(\cdot)\nabla)$, where $A$ is a uniformly elliptic $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrix with variable coefficients, a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, and the associated…

The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…

Consider a totally irregular measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, that is, the upper density $\limsup_{r\to0}\frac{\mu(B(x,r))}{(2r)^n}$ is positive $\mu$-a.e.\ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, and the lower density…

In the present paper we use twistor theory in order to solve two problems related to harmonic maps from surfaces to Euclidean spheres $\mathbb{S}^n$. First, we propose a new approach to isoperimetric inequalities based on energy index.…

A classical theorem of Szeg\H{o} states that for any probability measure $\mu=w\frac{\mathrm{d}\theta}{2\pi}+\mu_s$ on the unit circle the polynomials are dense in $L^2(\mathbb{T},\mu)$ if and only if $\log(w)\notin L^1(\mathbb{T})$. A…

In the field of optimal transport theory, an optimal map is known to be a gradient map of a potential function satisfying cost-convexity. In this paper, the Jacobian determinant of a gradient map is shown to be log-concave with respect to a…

n this paper, we revisit the existence of global weak solutions of wave maps from $\R^n$ into the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{L-1}$, $\Box u\perp T_u \mathbb{S}^{L-1}$, by establishing it as a singular limit of maps from $\R^n\times \R_+$ to…

Optimal transport maps and plans between two absolutely continuous measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ can be approximated by solving semi-discrete or fully-discrete optimal transport problems. These two problems ensue from approximating $\mu$ or both…

We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic maps of optimal regularity from an arbitrary closed manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n>2$ to any closed, non-aspherical manifold $N$ containing no stable minimal two-spheres. In particular,…

We study the existence of solutions of the nonlinear problem $$ \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} -\Delta u + g(u) & = \mu & & \quad \text{in } \Omega,\\ u & = 0 & & \quad \text{on } \partial \Omega, \end{alignedat} \right. $$ where $\mu$ is a…

One of the central objects in the theory of optimal transport is the Brenier map: the unique monotone transformation which pushes forward an absolutely continuous probability law onto any other given law. A line of recent work has analyzed…

We improve and extend persistence spheres, introduced in~\cite{pegoraro2025persistence}. Persistence spheres map an integrable measure $\mu$ on the upper half-plane, including persistence diagrams (PDs) as counting measures, to a function…

If $\mu$ is a finite complex measure in the complex plane $\C$ we denote by $C^\mu$ its Cauchy integral defined in the sense of principal value. The measure $\mu$ is called reflectionless if it is continuous (has no atoms) and $C^\mu=0$ at…
