We study geometric variational problems for a class of effective models in quantum field theory known as Faddeev-Skyrme models. Mathematically one considers minimizing an energy functional on homotopy classes of maps from closed 3-manifolds…

In this paper, first-order Sobolev-type spaces on abstract metric measure spaces are defined using the notion of (weak) upper gradients, where the summability of a function and its upper gradient is measured by the "norm" of a quasi-Banach…

The primary aim of this work is to develop methods that provide new insights into the relationships between fundamental constants in Banach space theory--specifically, the projection constant, the unconditional basis constant and the…

On conformally compact manifolds we study Yang-Mills equations, their boundary conditions, formal asymptotics, and Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps. We find that smooth solutions with "magnetic" Dirichlet boundary data are obstructed by a…

We lay the foundations of a Morse homology on the space of connections on a principal $G$-bundle over a compact manifold $Y$, based on a newly defined gauge-invariant functional $\mathcal J$. While the critical points of $\mathcal J$…

In this paper, we derive a new linear convergence rate for the gradient method with fixed step lengths for non-convex smooth optimization problems satisfying the Polyak-Lojasiewicz (PL) inequality. We establish that the PL inequality is a…

In the nice recent work [48], S. Wang established uniform log-Sobolev inequalities for mean field particles when the energy is flat convex. In this note we comment how to extend his proof to some semi-convex energies provided the curvature…

The question is addressed of when a Sobolev type space, built upon a general rearrangement-invariant norm, on an $n$-dimensional domain, is a Banach algebra under pointwise multiplication of functions. A sharp balance condition among the…

We study the convergence properties of an alternating proximal minimization algorithm for nonconvex structured functions of the type: $L(x,y)=f(x)+Q(x,y)+g(y)$, where $f:\R^n\rightarrow\R\cup{+\infty}$ and $g:\R^m\rightarrow\R\cup{+\infty}$…

Let ${\mathcal X}$ be a metric space with doubling measure, $L$ a nonnegative self-adjoint operator in $L^2({\mathcal X})$ satisfying the Davies-Gaffney estimate, $\omega$ a concave function on $(0,\infty)$ of strictly lower type…

(Two-scale) gradient Young measures in Orlicz-Sobolev setting are introduced and characterized providing also an integral representation formula for non convex energies arising in homogenization problems with nonstandard growth.

R. Thom's gradient conjecture states that if a gradient flow of an analytic function converges to a limit, it does so along a unique limiting direction. In this paper, we extend and settle this conjecture in the context of infinite…

In this paper, we give an estimate of sub-Laplacian of Riemannian distance functions in pseudo-Hermitian geometry which plays a similar role as Laplacian comparison theorem in Riemannian geometry, and deduce a prior horizontal gradient…

We consider the Abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs functional, in the non-self dual scaling, on a complex line bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. This functional is the natural generalisation of the Ginzburg-Landau model…

In this article, we conduct a comprehensive study of weighted Sobolev spaces with logarithmic weights, orginially introduced by Calanchi and Ruf to analyze the sharp exponential integrability of radial functions belonging to these spaces.…

Given a fully symmetric Banach function space $E$ and a decreasing positive weight $w$ on $I = (0, a)$, $0 < a \le \infty $, the generalized Lorentz space ${\Lambda}_{E,w}$ is defined as the symmetrization of the canonical copy $E_w$ of $E$…

We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.

We consider a compact $n$-dimensional complex manifold endowed with a holomorphic line bundle that is semi-positive everywhere and positive at least at one point. Additionally, we have a smooth domain of this manifold whose Levi form has at…

In this paper we study the $H^2(ds)$-gradient flow for the modified elastic energy defined on closed curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove the existence of a unique global-in-time solution to the flow and establish full convergence to elastica…

We present a global version of the {\L}ojasiewicz inequality on comparing the rate of growth of two polynomial functions in the case the mapping defined by these functions is (Newton) non-degenerate at infinity. In addition, we show that…
