Let $S$ be the 2-sphere and $V \subset S$ be a finite set of at least three points. We show that for each function $\kappa: V \rightarrow (0, 2\pi)$ satisfying elementary necessary conditions, in each discrete conformal class of spherical…

We consider the problem of minimizing the second conformal eigenvalue of the conformal Laplacian in a conformal class of metrics with renormalized volume. We prove, in dimensions $n\in\left\{3,\dotsc,10\right\}$, that a minimizer for this…

The reductivity of a spherical curve represents how reduced the spherical curve is. It is unknown if there exists a spherical curve whose reductivity is four. In this paper we give an unavoidable set for spherical curves with reductivity…

By variational methods, for a kind of Webster scalar curvature problems on the CR sphere with cylindrically symmetric curvature, we construct some multi-peak solutions as the parameter is sufficiently small under certain assumptions. We…

We study the variational behavior of the total inverse mean curvature of curves with prescribed boundary in the half-plane. We characterize the existence of critical points with prescribed area. We show that such critical points are…

On a $2m$-dimensional closed manifold we investigate the existence of prescribed $Q$-curvature metrics with conical singularities. We present here a general existence and multiplicity result in the supercritical regime. To this end, we…

The support of minimizing measures of the causal variational principle on the sphere is analyzed. It is proven that in the case $\tau>\sqrt{3}$, the support of every minimizing measure is contained in a finite number of real analytic curves…

This is a preliminary note on a family of minimal surfaces in the 3-sphere defined by a compatible fourth order equation. The minimal surfaces are geometrically characterized either by having a surface of revolution like induced metric, or…

We study the resonant prescribed T-curvature problem on a compact 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We derive sharp energy and gradient estimates of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional to characterize the critical points…

We study the problem of conformally deforming a manifold with boundary to have vanishing {\sigma}4-curvature in the interior and constant H4- curvature on the boundary. We prove that there are geometrically distinct solutions using…

We consider solutions to the $4$-color problem for the vertices of sphere triangulations with degree sequence $6,...,6,4,4,4,4,4,4$. We sort these solutions into combinatorial types and show that each generic type $\tau$ is parametrized by…

In this paper, we study the existence of constant holomorphic d-scalar curvature and the prescribing holomorphic d-scalar curvature problem on closed, connected almost Hermitian manifolds of dimension $n\geq6$. In addition, we obtain an…

In this paper we study the prescribed fractional $Q$-curvatures problem of order $2 \sigma$ on the $n$-dimensional standard sphere $(\mathbb{S}^{n}, g_0)$, where $n\geq3$, $\sigma\in(0,\frac{n-2}{2})$. By combining critical points at…

In this paper, we study a second order variational problem for locally convex hypersurfaces, which is the affine invariant analogue of the classical Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. We prove existence, regularity and uniqueness results…

We show that the local equivalence problem for second-order ordinary differential equations under point transformations is completely characterized by differential invariants of order at most 10 and that this upper bound is sharp. We also…

We propose an alternative variational principle whose critical point is the algebraic plane curve associated to a matrix model (the spectral curve, i.e. the large $N$ limit of the resolvent). More generally, we consider a variational…

This article presents a new and more elementary proof of the main Seiberg-Witten-based obstruction to the existence of Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds. It also introduces a new smooth manifold invariant which conveniently…

We study compactness for nonnegative solutions of the fourth order constant $Q$-curvature equations on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension $\ge 5$. If the $Q$-curvature equals $-1$, we prove that all solutions are universally…

In this paper, we investigate the inverse quasi-variational inequality problem in finite-dimensional spaces. First, we introduce a second-order dynamical system whose trajectory converges exponentially to the solution of the inverse…

The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…
