Proves interior singular set dimension for area-minimizing currents in smooth submanifolds.

In this paper we prove the interior regularity for the solution to the Abreu equation in any dimension assuming the existence of the $C^0$ estimate.

We establish interior regularity for convex viscosity solutions of the special Lagrangian equation. Our result states that all such solutions are real analytic in the interior of the domain.

We establish interior $C^2$ estimates for convex solutions of scalar curvature equation and $σ_2$-Hessian equation. We also prove interior curvature estimate for isometrically immersed hypersurfaces $(M^n,g)\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ with positive scalar curvature. These estimates are consequences of an interior estimate…

We study a generalized Abreu Equation in $n$-dimensional polytopes and derive interior estimates of solutions under the assumption of the uniform $K$-stability.

We first obtain the interior $C^{1,1}$-regularity and solvability for the degenerate real Monge-Ampère equation in a bounded, $C^3$-smooth and strictly convex domain in $\mathbb R^d$ ($d\ge2$), assuming that the boundary data is only globally $C^{1,1}$, and the $d$-th root of the nonnegative right-hand side is globally…

We use a new combinatorial technique to prove the optimal interior partial regularity result for Lp-vectorfields with integer fluxes minimizing the Lp-energy. More precisely, we prove that the minimal vectorfields are Hölder outside a set which is locally finite inside the domain. The results continue the program start…

Study geodesics in sub-Riemannian manifolds, resolving open questions.

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem of a complex Monge-Ampère equation on a ball in $\mathbb C^n$. With $\mathcal C^{1,α}$ (resp. $\mathcal C^{0,α}$) data, we prove an interior $\mathcal C^{1,α}$ (resp. $\mathcal C^{0,α}$) estimate for the solution. These estimates are generalized versions of the Bedford-T…

New examples show flat singular sets can be arbitrarily complex.

Let $X$ be a compact connected strongly pseudoconvex $CR$ manifold of real dimension 2n-1 in $\mathbb{C}^{N}$. It has been an interesting question to find an intrinsic smoothness criteria for the complex Plateau problem. For $n\ge 3$ and $N=n+1$, Yau found a necessary and sufficient condition for the interior regularit…

We study Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and show that the second derivatives of viscosity solutions of those equations (in 12 or more dimensions) can blow up in an interior point of the domain. We prove that the optimal interior regularity of such solutions is no more than C^{1+ε}, showing the opt…

Proves continuity and singular set dimension for 2D maps with Q values.

Let X be a toric surface with Delzant polygon P and u(t) be a solution of the Calabi flow equation on P. Suppose the Calabi flow exists in [0, T). By studying local estimates of the Riemann curvature and the geodesic distance under the Calabi flow, we prove a uniform interior estimate of u(t) for t < T.

We establish the regularity theory for certain critical elliptic systems with an anti-symmetric structure under inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary constraints. As applications, we prove full regularity and smooth estimates at the free boundary for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps from spin Riemann surfaces. Our met…

Computing the Wasserstein barycenter of a set of probability measures under the optimal transport metric can quickly become prohibitive for traditional second-order algorithms, such as interior-point methods, as the support size of the measures increases. In this paper, we overcome the difficulty by developing a new ad…

Develops new strategy for Hessian estimates in Lagrangian mean curvature equation.

In this work there is established an optimal existence and regularity theory for second order linear parabolic differential equations on a large class of noncompact Riemannian manifolds. Then it is shown that it provides a general unifying approach to problems with strong degeneracies in the interior or at the boundary…

In this paper, we obtain the Bedford-Taylor interior $C^{2}$ estimate and local Calabi $C^{3}$ estimate for the solutions to complex Monge-Ampère equations on Hermitian manifolds.

We present a fairly general construction of unbounded representatives for the interior Kasparov product. As a main tool we develop a theory of C^1-connections on operator * modules; we do not require any smoothness assumptions; our sigma-unitality assumptions are minimal. Furthermore, we use work of Kucerovsky and our …

Proves regularity for Brakke flow near stationary half-plane.

We develop a structure theory for RCD spaces with curvature bounded above in Alexandrov sense. In particular, we show that any such space is a topological manifold with boundary whose interior is equal to the set of regular points. Further the set of regular points is a smooth manifold and is geodesically convex. Aroun…

We prove that any two Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold can be connected by a geodesic segment of C^{1,1} regularity. This follows from an a priori interior real Hessian bound for solutions of the nondegenerate complex Monge-Ampere equation, which is independent of a positive lower bound for the right hand…

The paper examines partial regularity of Lipschitz solutions to minimal surface system.

Paper proves gradient estimates for Lagrangian mean curvature equation.

We establish interior Lipschitz regularity for continuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, conformally invariant, degenerate elliptic equations. As a by-product of our method, we also prove a weak form of the strong comparison principle, which we refer to as the principle of propagation of touching points, for o…

Paper proves Allard's theorem in Alexandrov spaces.

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in the interior of a convex body, i.e., a compact convex set in Euclidean space with interior points. We shall not impose any regularity assumption on the boundary of the convex set. Amongst other results, we shall prov…

We show the area-minimality property of all homogeneous area-minimizing hypercones in Euclidean spaces (classified by Lawlor) following Lawson's original idea in his 72' Trans. A.M.S. paper "The equivariant Plateau problem and interior regularity". Moreover, each of them enjoys (coflat) calibrations singular only at th…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for positively homogeneous, degenerate elliptic, concave (or convex) Hessian equations. Under natural and necessary conditions on the geometry of the domain, with the $C^{1,1}$ boundary data, we establish the interior $C^{1,1}$-regularity of the unique (admissible) solution, which is o…

This paper undertakes a study of the structure of the fibers of the Chevalley exponentiation maps $f_{(i_1,\dots ,i_d)}$. The fibers of these maps $f_{(i_1,\dots ,i_d)}$ encode the nonnegative real relations amongst exponentiated Chevalley generators. Our main theorems show that the fibers admit cell stratifications, t…

Establishes interior regularity results for a broad class of two-dimensional nonlinear elliptic systems using a unified abstract framework.

We study non-variational degenerate elliptic equations with high order singular structures. No boundary data are imposed and singularities occur along an {\it a priori} unknown interior region. We prove that positive solutions have a universal modulus of continuity that does not depend on their infimum value. We furthe…

Given a convex set and an interior point close to the boundary, we prove the existence of a supporting hyperplane whose distance to the point is controlled, in a dimensionally quantified way, by the thickness of the convex set in the orthogonal direction. This result has important applications in the regularity theory …
