Sharp inequalities and eigenvalue problems on Finsler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

We provide a simpler proof and slight strengthening of Morrey's famous lemma on $\varepsilon$-conformal mappings. Our result more generally applies to Sobolev maps with values in a complete metric space and we obtain applications to the existence of area minimizing surfaces of higher genus in metric spaces. Unlike Morr…

Generalizes Ricci flow starting from small curvature concentration with a Morrey-type condition.

Researchers extend regularity of $p$-harmonic maps into spheres for a new range of $p$.

In four and higher dimensions, we show that any stationary admissible Yang-Mills field can be gauge transformed to a smooth field if the $L^2$ norm of the curvature is sufficiently small. There are three main ingredients. The first is Price's monotonicity formula, which allows us to assert that the curvature is small n…

We give new estimates for a critical elliptic system introduced by Rivière-Struwe in \cite{riviere_struwe} (see also the work of Rupflin \cite{rupflin} and Schikorra \cite{schikorra_frames}), which generalises PDE solved by harmonic (and almost harmonic) maps from a Euclidean ball $B_1 \In \R^n$ into Riemannian manifol…

This note proves sharp affine Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities which are stronger than all known sharp Euclidean Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities and imply the affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities. The logarithmic version of affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities is verified. Moreover, An alternative proof of the affine Mo…

Given two Jordan curves in a Riemannian manifold, a minimal surface of annulus type bounded by these curves is described as the harmonic extension of a critical point of some functional (the Dirichlet integral) in a certain space of boundary parametrizations. The $H^{2,2}$-regularity of the minimal surface of annulus t…

We give a new proof of the existence (\cite{HM}, \cite{Ren}) of a Jenkins-Strebel differential $Φ$ on a Riemann surface $\SR$ with prescribed heights of cylinders by considering the harmonic map from $\SR$ to the leaf space of the vertical foliation of $Φ$, thought of as a Riemannian graph. The novelty of the argument …

We prove a Morrey-type theorem for Hamiltonian stationary submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Namely, if $L$ $\subset$ $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ is a $C^{1}$ Lagrangian submanifold with weakly harmonic Lagrangian phase $θ,$ then $L$ must be smooth. In the process we also discuss a local version of the equation, which is a nonline…

We solve the classical problem of Plateau in the setting of proper metric spaces. Precisely, we prove that among all disc-type surfaces with prescribed Jordan boundary in a proper metric space there exists an area minimizing disc which moreover has a quasi-conformal parametrization. If the space supports a local quadra…

We show the existence of Yang--Mills--Higgs (YMH) fields over a Riemann surface with boundary where a free boundary condition is imposed on the section and a Neumann boundary condition on the connection. In technical terms, we study the convergence and blow-up behavior of a sequence of Sacks-Uhlenbeck type $α$-YMH fiel…

We study the regularity problem of the nonlinear sigma model with gravitino fields in higher dimensions. After setting up the geometric model, we derive the Euler--Lagrange equations and consider the regularity of weak solutions defined in suitable Sobolev spaces. We show that any weak solution is actually smooth under…

Symmetric hypersurfaces and boundaries in R^n+1 with group actions.

The mean curvature flow is the gradient flow of volume functionals on the space of submanifolds. We prove a fundamental regularity result of the mean curvature flow in this paper: a Lipschitz submanifold with small local Lipschitz norm becomes smooth instantly along the mean curvature flow. This generalizes the regular…

The aim of the present paper is to define a notion of weakly differentiable cochain in the generality of metric measure spaces and to study basic properties of such cochains. Our cochains are (sub-)linear functionals on a subspace of chains, and a suitable notion of chains in metric spaces is given by Ambrosio-Kirchhei…

The paper converts metric bounds to distance function Hölder bounds and proves compactness theorems.

For the class of approximate harmonic maps $u\in W^{1,2}(Σ,N)$ from a closed Riemmanian surface $(Σ,g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N, h)$, we show that (i) the so-called energy identity holds for weakly convergent approximate harmonic maps $\{u_n\}:Σ\to N$, with tension fields $τ(u_n)$ bounded in the Morrey spa…

We study the minimization problem for the Yang-Mills energy under fixed boundary connection in supercritical dimension $n\geq 5$. We define the natural function space A_{G} in which to formulate this problem in analogy to the space of integral currents used for the classical Plateau problem. The space A_{G} can be also…

Introduces a new Hodge theory using vector fields on manifolds.

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

We consider geometric and analytical aspects of M-theory on a manifold with boundary Y. The partition function of the C-field requires summing over harmonic forms. When Y is closed Hodge theory gives a unique harmonic form in each de Rham cohomology class, while in the presence of a boundary the Hodge-Morrey-Friedrichs…

Extending isometric immersions with low regularity, especially supercritical.

We consider a compact, oriented, smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ (with or without boundary) and we suppose $G$ is a torus acting by isometries on $M$. Given $X$ in the Lie algebra and corresponding vector field $X_M$ on $M$, one defines Witten's inhomogeneous coboundary operator $d_{X_M} = d+ι_{X_M}: Ω_G^\pm \toΩ_G^\mp$…

Improved iterative methods for risk parity portfolio weights.

We describe a novel optimization method for finite sums (such as empirical risk minimization problems) building on the recently introduced SAGA method. Our method achieves an accelerated convergence rate on strongly convex smooth problems. Our method has only one parameter (a step size), and is radically simpler than o…

New methods using natural gradient for structured optimization.

Recently, {\it stochastic momentum} methods have been widely adopted in training deep neural networks. However, their convergence analysis is still underexplored at the moment, in particular for non-convex optimization. This paper fills the gap between practice and theory by developing a basic convergence analysis of t…

The variance gamma process is a pure jump process which is constructed by replacing the calendar time by the gamma time in a Brownian motion with drift, which makes it a time-changed Brownian motion. In general, the finite difference me…
