In 1982, S.-T. Yau conjectured that there exist four distinct embedded minimal two-spheres in any manifold diffeomorphic to $S^3$. Wang-Zhou confirmed this conjecture for Riemannian three-spheres when the metric is bumpy or has positive…

Consider transportation of one distribution of mass onto another, chosen to optimize the total expected cost, where cost per unit mass transported from x to y is given by a smooth function c(x,y). If the source density f^+(x) is bounded…

We consider the problem of optimal incomplete transportation between the empirical measure on an i.i.d. uniform sample on the d-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^d$ and the true measure. This is a family of problems lying in between classical…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be an open bounded connected set. We consider the indefinite weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in $\Omega$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain on the unit $n$-sphere $ \mathbb S^n$ and $\mathring{g}$ the standard metric of $\mathbb S^n$, $n\ge 3$. We show that there exists a conformal metric $g$ with vanishing scalar curvature $R(g)=0$ such that $(\Omega,…

In this paper, we establish the global $W^{2,p}$ estimate for the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem: $(Du)_{\sharp}f\chi{_{\{u>\frac{1}{2}|x|^2\}}}=g$, where $f$ and $g$ are positive continuous functions supported in disjoint bounded $C^2$…

We show that, on a $2$-dimensional compact manifold, the optimal transport map in the semi-discrete random matching problem is well-approximated in the $L^2$-norm by identity plus the gradient of the solution to the Poisson problem $-\Delta…

Given $\rho\in(0, 1/3]$, let $\mu$ be the Cantor measure satisfying $\mu=\frac{1}{2}\mu f_0^{-1}+\frac{1}{2}\mu f_1^{-1}$, where $f_i(x)=\rho x+i(1-\rho)$ for $i=0, 1$. The support of $\mu$ is a Cantor set $C$ generated by the iterated…

We consider $(M,g)$ a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 2$ without boundary, $1 < p$ a real parameter and $r = \frac{p(n + p)}{n}$. This paper concerns the validity of the optimal Moser inequality \[ \left(\int_M…

In this paper, we study the optimal transportation for generalized Lagrangian $L=L(x, u,t)$, and consider the cost function as following: $$c(x, y)=\inf_{\substack{x(0)=x\\x(1)=y\\u\in\mathcal{U}}}\int_0^1L(x(s), u(x(s),s), s)ds.$$ Where…

In some recent papers the classical `splitting necklace theorem' is linked in an interesting way with a geometric `pattern avoidance problem'. We explore the topological constraints on the existence of a (relaxed) measurable coloring of R^d…
