The paper proves the existence of stable spheres in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds.

From minimal surfaces such as Simons' cone and catenoids, using refined Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, we construct new solutions for a free boundary problem whose free boundary has two components. In dimension $8$, using variational arguments, we also obtain solutions which are global minimizers of the correspondi…

The conformal Willmore functional (which is conformal invariant in general Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$) is studied with a perturbative method: the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction. Existence of critical points is shown in ambient manifolds $(\mathbb{R}^3, g_ε)$ -where $g_ε$ is a metric close and asymptotic to the euclidean o…

New cylindrical solutions found for Grushin-type problem.

In this paper we adopt an alternative, analytical approach to Arnol'd problem \cite{A1} about the existence of closed and embedded $K$-magnetic geodesics in the round $2$-sphere $\mathbb S^2$, where $K: \mathbb S^2 \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is a smooth scalar function. In particular, we use Lyapunov-Schmidt finite-dimensi…

We construct a sequence of compact, oriented, embedded, two-dimensional surfaces of genus one into Euclidean 3-space with prescribed, almost constant, mean curvature of the form $H(X)=1+{A}{|X|^{-γ}}$ for $|X|$ large, when $A<0$ and $γ\in(0,2)$. Such surfaces are close to sections of unduloids with small necksize, fold…

We consider the multi-bump solutions of the following fractional Nirenberg problem \begin{equation}\label{01} (-Δ)^s u=K(x)u^{\frac{n+2s}{n-2s}}, \;\;\;\;u>0\;\;\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^n, \end{equation} where $s\in (0,1)$ and $n>2+2s$. If $K$ is a periodic function in some $k$ variables with $1\leq k<\frac{n-2s}2$, we pr…

We construct embedded Willmore tori with small area constraint in Riemannian three-manifolds under some curvature condition used to prevent Möbius degeneration. The construction relies on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction; to this aim we establish new geometric expansions of exponentiated small symmetric Clifford tori and a…

We associate to a parametrized family $f$ of nonlinear Fredholm maps possessing a trivial branch of zeroes an {\it index of bifurcation} $β(f)$ which provides an algebraic measure for the number of bifurcation points from the trivial branch. The index $β(f)$ is derived from the index bundle of the linearization of the …

This is the second of a series of two papers where we construct embedded Willmore tori with small area constraint in Riemannian three-manifolds. In both papers the construction relies on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction, the difficulty being the Möbius degeneration of the tori. In the first paper the construction was perfo…

Refines geometric center of mass analysis for Einstein field equations.

Normal forms for equivariant maps in infinite dimensions established.

We extend the Lyapunov-Schmidt analysis of outlying stable CMC spheres in the work of S. Brendle and the second-named author to the "far-off-center" regime and to include general Schwarzschild asymptotics. We obtain sharp existence and non-existence results for large stable CMC spheres that depend very delicately on th…

A local normal form theorem for smooth equivariant maps between Fréchet manifolds is established. Moreover, an elliptic version of this theorem is obtained. The proof these normal form results is inspired by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for dynamical systems and by the Kuranishi method for moduli spaces, and uses a s…

Constructs foliations of critical surfaces for Hawking energy in asymptotically flat initial data sets.

CR structure on S³ with non-compact solutions to CR Yamabe problem.

We are concerned with hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. Our results are twofold. First we prove the nonlocal analogue of the Alexandrov result characterizing sph…

In this thesis we deal with two different classes of variational problems: 1) the problem of closed curves with prescribed curvature, or $H$-loop problem; 2) the study of the nodal solutions of the fractional Brezis-Nirenberg problem. In both cases we deal with nonlinear equations (an ODE system for problem 1, and an e…

This paper identifies knot projections with reductivity two.

This paper classifies instantons with closed reductions and provides examples of non-closed reductions.

We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kaehler geometry: a locally conformal Kaehler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair (K,Γ) where K is a Kaehler manifold and Γa discrete Lie group of biholomorphic homotheties acting freely and properly discontinuously. We define a new invari…

In this paper we describe Routhian reduction as a special case of standard symplectic reduction, also called Marsden-Weinstein reduction. We use this correspondence to present a generalization of Routhian reduction for quasi-invariant Lagrangians, i.e. Lagrangians that are invariant up to a total time derivative. We sh…

Two reduction schemes for symplectic manifolds are shown equivalent.

Study extends Kobayashi's method to non-reductive subgroups for homogeneous spaces.

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the regular Optimal Reduction Theorem to general proper Dirac actions, formulated both in terms of point and orbit reduction. A comparison to general standard singular Dirac reduction is given emphasizing the desingularization role played by optimal reduction.

We show that the contact reduction can be specialized to Sasakian manifolds. We link this Sasakian reduction to Kähler reduction by considering the Kähler cone over a Sasakian manifold. We present examples of Sasakian manifolds obtained by $S^1$ reduction of standard Sasakian spheres.

Study characterizes naturally reductive metrics on homogeneous manifolds.

Abstract: Generalized reduction methods for symmetries in graded geometry.

In this note we give conditions which ensure the reduction of a symplectic connection in the process of a Marsden-Weinstein reduction and of the reduction of a presymplectic manifold.

This work introduces a unified approach to the reduction of Poisson manifolds using their description by graded symplectic manifolds. This yields a generalization of the classical Poisson reduction by distributions (Marsden-Ratiu reduction). Further it allows one to construct actions of strict Lie 2-groups and to descr…

The reduction of nonholonomic systems is formulated in terms of Dirac reduction. An optimal reduction method for a class of nonholonomic systems is formulated. Several examples are studied in detail.

This paper extends symplectic reduction to cosymplectic groupoids and explores their properties.

Let $E_G$ be a stable principal $G$--bundle over a compact connected Kaehler manifold, where $G$ is a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over the complex numbers. Let $H\subset G$ be a complex reductive subgroup which is not necessarily connected, and let $E_H\subset E_G$ be a holomorphic reduction of s…

A new method for classifying naturally reductive spaces is presented. This method relies on the structure theory of naturally reductive spaces developed in \cite{Storm2018a} and the new construction of naturally reductive spaces in \cite{Storm2018}. We obtain the classification of all naturally reductive spaces in dime…

A new construction of naturally reductive spaces is presented. This construction gives a large amount of new families of naturally reductive spaces. First the infinitesimal models of the new naturally reductive spaces are constructed. A concrete transitive group of isometries is given for the new spaces and also the na…

The paper explores polysymplectic structures and their reductions in field theories.

We complete the reduction scheme in the whole LP category, introduced in [7] to perform Lagrangian reduction by stages. We answer affirmatively the open question of whether reduction can be done in the whole category and analyze the Noether theorem on LP-bundles, the relationship with Hamiltonian reduction by stages an…
