Motivated by the equation satisfied by the extremals of certain Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities, we show sharp $L^q$ regularity for finite energy solutions of p-laplace equations involving critical exponents and possible singularity on a sub-space of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which imply asymptotic behavior of the solutions at i…

New calibration energy measures deviation from calibrated geometry, enabling mean curvature flow in infinite volumes.

We introduce the super-Toda system on Riemann surfaces and study the blow-up analysis for a sequence of solutions to the super-Toda system on a closed Riemann surface with uniformly bounded energy. In particular, we show the energy identities for the spinor parts of a blow-up sequence of solutions for which there are p…

We consider a class of time dependent finite energy multi-soliton solutions of the U(N) integrable chiral model in $(2+1)$ dimensions. The corresponding extended solutions of the associated linear problem have a pole with arbitrary multiplicity in the complex plane of the spectral parameter. Restrictions of these exten…

Let $X=\mathbb{C}\timesΣ$ be the product of the complex plane and a compact Riemann surface. We establish a classification theorem of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equation on $X$ with finite analytic energy. The spin bundle $S^+\to X$ splits as $L^+\oplus L^-$. When $2-2g\leq c_1(S^+)[Σ]<0$, the moduli space is in b…

We consider the energy supercritical wave maps from $\mathbb{R}^d$ into the $d$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$ with $d \geq 7$. Under an additional assumption of 1-corotational symmetry, the problem reduces to the one dimensional semilinear wave equation $$\partial_t^2 u = \partial^2_r u + \frac{(d-1)}{r}\partial_r u - \frac{(d…

In this paper we are concerned with the learnability of energies from data obtained by observing time evolutions of their critical points starting at random initial equilibria. As a byproduct of our theoretical framework we introduce the novel concept of mean-field limit of critical point evolutions and of their energy…

We study the global theory of linear wave equations for sections of vector bundles over globally hyperbolic Lorentz manifolds. We introduce spaces of finite energy sections and show well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in those spaces. These spaces depend in general on the choice of a time function but it turns out tha…

In this paper, we study the schrodinger equation and wave equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition on a connected finite graph. The explicit expressions for solutions are given and the energy conservations are derived. Applications to the corresponding nonlinear problems are indicated.

We consider the energy supercritical harmonic heat flow from $\mathbb{R}^d$ into the $d$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$ with $d \geq 7$. Under an additional assumption of 1-corotational symmetry, the problem reduces to the one dimensional semilinear heat equation $$\partial_t u = \partial^2_r u + \frac{(d-1)}{r}\partial_r u - \…

The paper studies strong topologies for complex Monge-Ampère equations on Kähler manifolds.

We prove that finite Morse index solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in $\R^2$ have {\bf finitely many ends} and {\bf linear energy growth}. The main tool is a {\bf curvature decay estimate} on level sets of these finite Morse index solutions, which in turn is reduced to a problem on the uniform second order regularit…

We develop a definitive physical-space scattering theory for the scalar wave equation on Kerr exterior backgrounds in the general subextremal case |a|<M. In particular, we prove results corresponding to "existence and uniqueness of scattering states" and "asymptotic completeness" and we show moreover that the resulting…

We give a unified statement and proof of a class of wellknown mean value inequalities for nonnegative functions with a nonlinear bound on the Laplacian. We generalize these to domains with boundary, requiring a (possibly nonlinear) bound on the normal derivative at the boundary. These inequalities give rise to an energ…

We study minimal energy problems for strongly singular Riesz kernels on a manifold. Based on the spatial energy of harmonic double layer potentials, we are motivated to formulate the natural regularization of such problems by switching to Hadamard's partie finie integral operator which defines a strongly elliptic pseud…

Compactness theory for biharmonic maps on degenerating Einstein manifolds.

The Willmore flow is well known problem from the differential geometry. It minimizes the Willmore functional defined as integral of the mean-curvature square over given manifold. For the graph formulation, we derive modification of the Willmore flow with anisotropic mean curvature. We define the weak solution and we pr…

Finite-time blow-up in Yang-Mills flow for small energy initial connections.

We study global variational properties of the space of solutions to $-\varepsilon^2Δu + W'(u)=0$ on any closed Riemannian manifold $M$. Our techniques are inspired by recent advances in the variational theory of minimal hypersurfaces and extend a well-known analogy with the theory of phase transitions. First, we show t…

We construct finite energy instanton connection on $R^4$ which are periodic in two directions via an analogue of the Nahm transform for certain singular solutions of Hitchin's equations defined over a 2-torus.

We analyse finite-time singularities of the Teichmüller harmonic map flow -- a natural gradient flow of the harmonic map energy -- and find a canonical way of flowing beyond them in order to construct global solutions in full generality. Moreover, we prove a no-loss-of-topology result at finite time, which completes th…

We propose a finite difference scheme to simulate solutions to a certain type of hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equation (HSPDE). These solutions can in turn estimate so called volatility modulated Volterra (VMV) processes and Lévy semistationary (LSS) processes, which is a class of processes that have been…

We introduce and study an approximate solution of the p-Laplace equation, and a linearlization $L_ε$ of a perturbed p-Laplace operator. By deriving an $L_ε$-type Bochner's formula and a Kato type inequality, we prove a Liouville type theorem for weakly p-harmonic functions with finite p-energy on a complete noncompact …

We study Bogomolny equations on $R^2\times S^1$. Although they do not admit nontrivial finite-energy solutions, we show that there are interesting infinite-energy solutions with Higgs field growing logarithmically at infinity. We call these solutions periodic monopoles. Using Nahm transform, we show that periodic monop…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ and a fixed cohomology class, $[α^*] \in H^k(M)$, we consider the existence of a minimizer $α\in [α^*]$ of the generalized minimal surface energy $\int_M \sqrt{1+|α|^2} dV_g$. When $k = 1$, we prove the existence of unique minimizers for every cohomology class $[α^*]$. Next…

In this global study of solutions to the linear wave equation on Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes we attend to the cosmological region of spacetime which is bounded in the past by cosmological horizons and to the future by a spacelike hypersurface at infinity. We prove an energy estimate capturing the expansion of th…

We prove existence and a.e. regularity of an area minimizing soap film with a bound on energy spanning a given Jordan curve in R^3. The energy of a film is defined to be the sum of its surface area and the length of its singular branched set. The class of surfaces over which area is minimized includes images of disks, …

The moduli space of static finite energy solutions to Ward's integrable chiral model is the space $M_N$ of based rational maps from $\CP^1$ to itself with degree $N$. The Lagrangian of Ward's model gives rise to a Kähler metric and a magnetic vector potential on this space. However, the magnetic field strength vanishes…

Synthetic approach to pluripotential theory measures finite energy.

Ginzburg-Landau fields are the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations which depend on two positive parameters, $α$ and $β$. We give conditions on $α$ and $β$ for the existence of irreducible solutions of these equations. Our results hold for arbitrary compact, oriented, Riemannian 2-manifolds (for example, bounded …

The Kepler-Heisenberg problem is that of determining the motion of a planet around a sun in the Heisenberg group, thought of as a three-dimensional sub-Riemannian manifold. The sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian provides the kinetic energy, and the gravitational potential is given by the fundamental solution to the sub-Laplaci…

We investigate probability measures with finite pluricomplex energy. We give criteria insuring that a given measure has finite energy and test these on various examples. We show that this notion is a biholomorphic but not a bimeromorphic invariant.

We consider the energy-supercritical harmonic map heat flow from $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $\mathbb{S}^d$, under an additional assumption of 1-corotational symmetry. We are interested by the 7 dimensional case which is the borderline between the Type I blowup regime. We construct for this problem a stable finite time blowup …
