Let $M$ and $N$ be doubly connected Riemann surfaces with $\mathscr{C}^{1,\alpha}$ boundaries and with nonvanishing conformal metrics $\sigma$ and $\wp$ respectively, and assume that $\wp$ is a smooth metric with bounded Gauss curvature…

We consider a restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to a wave type operator on a Riemannian manifold with boundary. The restriction corresponds to the case where the Dirichlet traces are supported on one subset of the boundary and…

We study various regularity properties of minimizers of the $\Phi$--perimeter, where $\Phi$ is a norm. Under suitable assumptions on $\Phi$ and on the dimension of the ambient space, we prove that the boundary of a cartesian minimizer is…

We establish small energy H\"{o}lder bounds for minimizers $u_\varepsilon$ of \[E_\varepsilon (u):=\int_\Omega W(\nabla u)+ \frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \int_\Omega f(u),\] where $W$ is a positive definite quadratic form and the potential $f$…

We consider an energy model for harmonic graphs with junctions and study the regularity properties of minimizers and their free boundaries.

We study harmonic mappings of the form $f(z) = h(z) - \overline{z}$, where $h$ is an analytic function. In particular we are interested in the index (a generalized multiplicity) of the zeros of such functions. Outside the critical set of…

We study a natural biharmonic analogue of the classical Alt-Caffarelli problem, both under Dirichlet and under Navier boundary conditions. We show existence, basic properties and $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of minimisers. For the Navier…

The analysis of ``tangent maps'' at singular points of energy minimizing maps plays an important role in our understanding of the fine structure of the singular set. This note presents the first example of a minimizing (not just stationary)…

In this paper we study the existence of minimizers for interaction energies with the presence of external potentials. We consider a class of subharmonic interaction potentials, which include the Riesz potentials $|{\bf…

We consider a non-local interaction energy over bounded densities of fixed mass $m$. We prove that under certain regularity assumptions on the interaction kernel these energies admit minimizers given by characteristic functions of sets when…

We study the isoperimetric problem with a potential energy $g$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ weighted by a radial density $f$ and analyze the geometric properties of minimizers. Notably, we construct two counterexamples demonstrating that, in contrast…

The variational problem for the functional $F=\frac12\|\phi^*\omega\|_{L^2}^2$ is considered, where $\phi:(M,g)\to (N,\omega)$ maps a Riemannian manifold to a symplectic manifold. This functional arises in theoretical physics as the strong…

We consider volume-constrained minimizers of the fractional perimeter with the addition of a potential energy in the form of a volume inte- gral. Such minimizers are solutions of the prescribed fractional curvature problem. We prove…

Let $\mathbb{A}$ and $\mathbb{A_{*}}$ be two non-degenerate spherical annuli in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ equipped with the Euclidean metric and the weighted metric $|y|^{1-n}$, respectively. Let $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{A},\mathbb{A_{*}})$ denote the…

It it shown that each lobe of the figure-eight orbit is star-shaped, which implies the polar angle is monotone in each lobe. In general, it is not clear when a minimizer is star-shaped. In this paper, we study minimizers connecting two…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian with some prescribed boundary condition over collections of convex domains of prescribed perimeter or diameter. It is known that these minimisation problems are…

We consider $\sigma$-harmonic mappings, that is mappings $U$ whose components $u_i$ solve a divergence structure elliptic equation ${\rm div} (\sigma \nabla u_i)=0$, for $i=1,\ldots,n $. We investigate whether, with suitably prescribed…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively…

We prove the existence of minimizers for some constrained variational problems on $BV(\Omega)$, under subcritical and critical restrictions, involving the affine energy introduced by Zhang in \cite{Z}. Related functionals have non-coercive…

We consider extensions of differential fields of mappings and obtain a lower energy bound for quasiconformal extension fields in terms of the topological degree. We also consider the related minimization problem for the $q$-harmonic energy,…
