problem Developing a regularity theory for extremal knots of scale invariant knot energies defined by J. O'hara.

We define a new class of knot energies (known as renormalization energies) and prove that a broad class of these energies are uniquely minimized by the round circle. Most of O'Hara's knot energies belong to this class. This proves two conjectures of O'Hara and of Freedman, He, and Wang. We also find energies not minimi…

In this article we study the regularity of stationary points of the knot energies EαE^α introduced by O'Hara in the range α(2,3)α\in (2,3). In a first step we prove that EαE^α is C1C^1 on the set of all regular embedded closed curves belonging to H(α+1)/2,2H^{(α+1)/2,2} and calculate its derivative. After that we use the structure…

Extends wealth tax neutrality framework to stochastic volatility and non-homothetic preferences.
