We study a variational model for transition layers in thin ferromagnetic films with an underlying functional that combines an Allen-Cahn type structure with an additional nonlocal interaction term. The model represents the magnetisation by…

In this paper, we introduce a nonlocal, variational model for thin films. We consider convolution-type functionals defined on a thin domain whose thickness is of order $\gamma$, where the effective interactions range between points is of…

We study the sharp interface limit of the fractional Allen-Cahn equation $$ \varepsilon \partial_t u^{\varepsilon} = \mathcal{I}^s_n [u^{\varepsilon}] -\frac{1}{\varepsilon ^{2s}} W'(u^\varepsilon) \quad…

In this paper, we give an improved Morse index bound of minimal hypersurfaces from Almgren-Pitts min-max construction in any closed Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ $(n+1 \geq 3$), which generalizes a result by X. Zhou…

We study some approximation problems on a strict subset of the circle by analytic functions of the Hardy space H2 of the unit disk (in C), whose modulus satisfy a pointwise constraint on the complentary part of the circle. Existence and…

We develop a PDE-based approach to the min-max construction of nontrivial integer rectifiable varifolds that are stationary with respect to anisotropic surface energies on closed Riemannian manifolds, in codimension one. Specifically, we…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, let $(\Omega,\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space and let $A,B\colon\Omega\to B(X)$ be strongly measurable $\gamma$-bounded functions. We show that for all $x\in X$ and all $x^*\in X^*$, there exist a Hilbert…

We show that for certain boundary values McShane-Whitney's minimal-extension-like function is $\infty$-harmonic near the boundary and is not $C^2$ on a dense subset.

We describe briefly a new approach to some problems related to Teichm\"uller spaces, invariant metrics, and extremal quasiconformal maps. This approach is based on the properties of plurisubharmonic functions, especially of the…

Here we apply the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics and derive upper limits on the variation in the fundamental constants. The maximum variation in the electronic charge permitted for black holes accreting and emitting in the present…

In this paper we show how to construct Morse homology for an explicit class of functionals involving the $p$-Laplacian. The natural domain of definition of such functionals is the Banach space $W^{1,2p}_0(\Omega)$, where $p>n/2$ and $\Omega…

The oriented area function $A$ is (generically) a Morse function on the space of planar configurations of a polygonal linkage. We are lucky to have an easy description of its critical points as cyclic polygons and a simple formula for the…

This article is mainly devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the (elliptic) Allen-Cahn equation in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, with or without a source term in the right hand side of the equation…

We study critical metrics of higher-order curvature functionals on compact Riemannian $n$-manifolds $(M,g)$. For an integer $k$ with $2 \leq 2k \leq n$, let $R^k$ denote the $k$-th exterior power of the Riemann curvature tensor. We…

We discuss the local minimality of certain configurations for a nonlocal isoperimetric problem used to model microphase separation in diblock copolymer melts. We show that critical configurations with positive second variation are local…

By extending and generalising previous work by Ros and Savo, we describe a method to show that the Morse index of every closed minimal hypersurface on certain positively curved ambient manifolds is bounded from below by a linear function of…

Let vphi:C rightarrow C be a bilipschitz map. We prove that if E\subset\C is compact, and gamma(E), alpha(E) stand for its analytic and continuous analytic capacity respectively, then C^{-1}\gamma(E)\leq \gamma(\vphi(E)) \leq C\gamma(E) and…

This work is concerned with the proof of \emph{a posteriori} error estimates for fully-discrete Galerkin approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation in two and three spatial dimensions. The numerical method comprises of the backward Euler…

We present the first of two articles on the small volume fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. Here we focus attention on the sharp-interface version of the…

We investigate surfaces with bounded L^p-norm of the fractional mean curvature, a quantity we shall refer to as fractional Willmore-type functional. In the subcritical case and under convexity assumptions we show how this…
