The Riemannian manifold of curves with a Sobolev metric is an important and frequently studied model in the theory of shape spaces. Various numerical approaches have been proposed to compute geodesics, but so far elude a rigorous…

We consider Sobolev spaces with values in Banach spaces as they are frequently useful in applied problems. Given two Banach spaces $X\neq\{0\}$ and $Y$, each Lipschitz continuous mapping $F:X\rightarrow Y$ gives rise to a mapping $u\mapsto…

We study reparametrization-invariant Sobolev-type Riemannian metrics on the space of immersed surfaces and establish conditions ensuring metric and geodesic completeness as well as the existence of minimizing geodesics. This provides the…

We study the pullback theorem of Sobolev mappings on Carnot groups via mollification of mappings. With the pullback theorem we extend the classical result proved by Xiangdong Xie : Rigidity of Sobolev mappings $W^{1,p}(G_1;G_2)$ for…

We establish a localized Bochner-type rigidity theorem for harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. Let $f : (M,g) \to (\overline{M},\overline{g})$ be a harmonic map from a compact manifold. Instead of assuming a global nonpositivity…

Persistent homology maps a simplicial complex filtered by elements in $\mathbb R$ to finite formal sums of elements of $\mathbb R_{\leq}^{2} = \{ (b,d) \in \mathbb R^2 \cup \{ \infty \} \mid b < d \}$ called (finite) persistence diagrams.…

In the ordinary theory of Sobolev spaces on domains of $R^n$, the $p$-energy is defined as the integral of $|\nabla{f}|^p$. In this paper, we try to construct $p$-energy on compact metric spaces as a scaling limit of discrete $p$-energies…

Let $F : H^q \to H^q$ be a $C^k$-map between Sobolev spaces, either on $\mathbb R^d$ or on a compact manifold. We show that equivariance of $F$ under the diffeomorphism group allows to trade regularity of $F$ as a nonlinear map for…

For the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_\rm{g}+V$ on a complete Riemannian manifold with real valued potential $V$ of compact support, we establish a sharp equivalence between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite-order…

This paper introduces first order Sobolev spaces on certain rectifiable varifolds. These complete locally convex spaces are contained in the generally nonlinear class of generalised weakly differentiable functions and share key functional…

We introduce the space of rough paths with Sobolev regularity and the corresponding concept of controlled Sobolev paths. Based on these notions, we study rough path integration and rough differential equations. As main result, we prove that…

Let $M$ be a closed smooth connected spin manifold of even dimension $n$, let $g$ be a Riemannian metric of regularity $W^{1,p}$, $p > n$, on $M$ whose distributional scalar curvature in the sense of Lee-LeFloch is bounded below by…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

We obtain an improved Sobolev inequality in H^s spaces involving Morrey norms. This refinement yields a direct proof of the existence of optimizers and the compactness up to symmetry of optimizing sequences for the usual Sobolev embedding.…

Energy minimizing maps (E.M.M.s) play a central role in the calculus of variations, partial differential equations (PDEs), and geometric analysis. These maps are often embedded into $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifolds to minimize the Dirichlet…

We explicitly construct a heat kernel as a Neumann series for certain function spaces, such as $L^{1}$, $L^{2}$, and Hilbert spaces, associated to a locally compact Hausdorff space $\mathfrak{X}$ with Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{B}$,…

We study inequalities related to the heat kernel for the hypoelliptic sublaplacian on an H-type Lie group. Specifically, we obtain precise pointwise upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel function itself. We then apply these bounds to…

We announce a generalization of Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorem proven using harmonic map techniques. This allows us to generalize many results concerning higher rank lattices to all lattices in semisimple groups with property $(T)$.…

Sobolev spaces are a natural framework for the analysis of problems in partial differential equations and calculus of variations. Some physical and geometric contexts, such as liquid crystals models and harmonic maps, lead to consider…

In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space $\operatorname{Diff}_{1}(\mathbb R)$ equipped with the homogenous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the…
