We introduce a family of conformal invariants associated to a smooth metric measure space which generalize the relationship between the Yamabe constant and the best constant for the Sobolev inequality to the best constants for…

We use standard techniques of hydrodynamics to construct a relativistic effective field theory for the low energy dynamics of nearly critical superfluids. In an appropriate non-relativistic limit, our theory predicts an additional…

The paper extends the formulation of a 2D geometrically exact beam element proposed in our previous paper [1] to curved elastic beams. This formulation is based on equilibrium equations in their integrated form, combined with the kinematic…

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 give a new characterisation of the unparametrised geodesics, or distinguished curves, for affine, pseudo-Riemannian, conformal, and projective geometry. This is a type of moving incidence relation. The characterisation is used to provide…

We investigate the convergence rates of the trajectories generated by implicit first and second order dynamical systems associated to the determination of the zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a monotone and Lipschitz…

In two phase materials, each phase having a non-local response in time, it has been found that for some driving fields the response somehow untangles at specific times, and allows one to directly infer useful information about the geometry…

The hodograph of the Kepler-Coulomb problem, that is, the path traced by its velocity vector, is shown to be a circle and then it is used to investigate other properties of the motion. We obtain the configuration space orbits of the problem…

We consider the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions and time-independent forcing. For this type of flow, we derive adjoint equations whose trajectories converge asymptotically to the equilibrium and…

We consider weak solutions of degenerate second order partial differential equations of Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck type with measurable coefficients in divergence form. We give a geometric statement of the Harnack inequality recently proven…

We establish existence of global-in-time weak solutions to the one dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes system for a viscous and heat conducting ideal polytropic gas (pressure $p=K\theta/\tau$, internal energy $e=c_v \theta$), when the…

In this paper, we investigate the following elliptic system with Sobolev critical growth $-\Delta u+P(|y'|,y'')u=u^{2^*-1}+\frac{\beta}{2} u^{\frac{2^*}{2}-1}v^{\frac{2^*}{2}},\ y\in R^N$, $-\Delta v+Q(|y'|,y'')v=v^{2^*-1}+\frac{\beta}{2}…

The response functions for small spatial perturbations of a homogeneous granular fluid have been described recently. In appropriate dimensionless variables, they have the form of stationary state time correlation functions. Here, these…

We consider the following nonlinear elliptic system of Hamiltonian type with critical exponents: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u + V(|y'|,y'')\, u = |v|^{p-1}v, & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N,\newline -\Delta v + V(|y'|,y'')\, v =…

In this work we investigate dynamical systems designed to approach the solution sets of inclusion problems involving the sum of two maximally monotone operators. Our aim is to design methods which guarantee strong convergence of…

This paper builds on recent developments of adaptive methods for linear transport equations based on certain stable variational formulations of Petrov-Galerkin type. The variational formulations allow us to employ meshes with cells of…

On a smooth closed manifold $M$, we introduce a novel theory of maximal slope curves for any pair $(\phi,H)$ with $\phi$ a semiconcave function and $H$ a Hamiltonian. By using the notion of maximal slope curve from gradient flow theory, the…

This is the first part of a general description in terms of mass transport for time-evolving interacting particles systems, at a mesoscopic level. Beyond kinetic theory, our framework naturally applies in biology, computer vision, and…

We provide deficit estimates for Nelson's hypercontractivity inequality, the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and Talagrand's transportation cost inequality under the restriction that the inputs are semi-log-subharmonic, semi-log-convex, or…

This review concerns recent results on the quantitative study of convergence towards the stationary state for spatially inhomogeneous kinetic equations. We focus on analytical results obtained by means of certain probabilistic techniques…
