Consider a Riemannian metric on two-torus. We prove that the question of existence of polynomial first integrals leads naturally to a remarkable system of quasi-linear equations which turns out to be a Rich system of conservation laws. This reduces the question of integrability to the question of existence of smooth (q…

Conservation law for weakly harmonic mappings in high dimensions.

The conservation laws of the third order quasilinear scalar evolution equations are considered via differential system and characteristic cohomology. We find a subspace of 2 forms in the infinite prolonged space in which every conservation law has a unique representative. The structure of this subspace naturally gives …

Given a vector field on a manifold M, we define a globally conserved quantity to be a differential form whose Lie derivative is exact. Integrals of conserved quantities over suitable submanifolds are constant under time evolution, the Kelvin circulation theorem being a well-known special case. More generally, conserved…

We study higher-order conservation laws of the non-linearizable elliptic Poisson equation $\frac{{\partial}^2 u}{\partial z \partial \bar{z}} = -f(u)$ as elements of the characteristic cohomology of the associated exterior differential system. The theory of characteristic cohomology determines a normal form for diffe…

A challenging problem in complex networks is the network reconstruction problem from data. This work deals with a class of networks denoted as conserved networks, in which a flow associated with every edge and the flows are conserved at all non-source and non-sink nodes. We propose a novel polynomial time algorithm to …

We establish two geometric inequalities, respectively, for harmonic functions in exterior Dirichlet problems, and for Green's functions in interior Dirichlet problems, where the boundary surfaces are smooth and convex. Both inequalities involve integrals over the mean curvature and the Gaussian curvature on an equipote…

Here shape space is either the manifold of simple closed smooth unparameterized curves in $\mathbb R^2$ or is the orbifold of immersions from $S^1$ to $\mathbb R^2$ modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^1$. We investige several Riemannian metrics on shape space: $L^2$-metrics weighted by expressions in length and c…

In this article we study various analytic aspects of interpolating sesqui-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds where we mostly focus on the case of a spherical target. The latter are critical points of an energy functional that interpolates between the functionals for harmonic and biharmonic maps. In the case of …

Following an approach of the second author for conformally invariant variational problems in two dimensions, we show in four dimensions the existence of a conservation law for fourth order systems, which includes both intrinsic and extrinsic biharmonic maps. With the help of this conservation law we prove the continuit…

An analytic extension of the Reissner-Nordstrom solution at and beyond the singularity is presented. The extension is obtained by using new coordinates in which the metric becomes degenerate at $r=0$. The metric is still singular in the new coordinates, but its components become finite and smooth. Using this extension …
