A Fathi–Siconolfi theorem for codimension one transport

Some features of the Monge–Kantorovich transport problem can be extended to currents of all dimensions; we show that the “Fathi–Siconolfi” theorem is one of them.     

Extremal functions for singular Trudinger–Moser inequalities in the entire Euclidean space

In a previous work (Adimurthi and Yang, 2010 [2]), Adimurthi–Yang proved a singular Trudinger–Moser inequality in the entire Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^N$$(N\ge 2)$. Precisely, if $0\le \beta <1$ and $0<\gamma \le 1?\beta$, then there holds for any $\tau >0$,

$\underset{u\in W^{1,N}({\mathbb{R}}^N),{\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^N}(|\mathrm{?}u{|}^N+\tau |u{|}^N)dx\le 1}{\sup }?\underset{{\mathbb{R}}^N}{\int }\frac{1}{|x{|}^{N\beta }}(e^{{\alpha }_N\gamma |u{|}^{\frac{N}{N?1}}}?\sum _{k=0}^{N?2}\frac{{{\alpha }_N}^k{\gamma }^k|u{|}^{\frac{kN}{N?1}}}{k!})dx<\infty ,$

where ${\alpha }_N=N{\omega }_{N?1}^{1/(N?1)}$ and ${\omega }_{N?1}$ is the area of the unit sphere in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. The above inequality is sharp in the sense that if $\gamma >1?\beta$, all integrals are still finite but the supremum is infinity. In this paper, we concern extremal functions for these singular inequalities. The regular case $\beta =0$ has been considered by Li and Ruf (2008) [12] and Ishiwata (2011) [11]. We shall investigate the singular case $0<\beta <1$ and prove that for all $\tau >0$, $0<\beta <1$ and $0<\gamma \le 1?\beta$, extremal functions for the above inequalities exist. The proof is based on blow-up analysis.     

Basic Morse–Novikov cohomology for foliations

In this paper we find sufficient conditions for the vanishing of the Morse–Novikov cohomology on Riemannian foliations. We work out a Bochner technique for twisted cohomological complexes, obtaining corresponding vanishing results. Also, we generalize for our setting vanishing results from the case of closed Riemannian manifolds. Several examples are presented, along with applications in the context of l.c.s. and l.c.K. foliations.     

The Wong–Zakai approximations of invariant manifolds and foliations for stochastic evolution equations

In this paper, we study the Wong–Zakai approximations given by a stationary process via the Wiener shift and their associated dynamics of a class of stochastic evolution equations with a multiplicative white noise. We prove that the solutions of Wong–Zakai approximations almost surely converge to the solutions of the Stratonovich stochastic evolution equation. We also show that the invariant manifolds and stable foliations of the Wong–Zakai approximations converge to the invariant manifolds and stable foliations of the Stratonovich stochastic evolution equation, respectively.     

Monge–Ampère foliations for degenerate solutions

We study the problem of the existence and the holomorphicity of the Monge–Ampère foliation associated to a plurisubharmonic solutions of the complex homogeneous Monge–Ampère equation even at points of arbitrary degeneracy. We obtain good results for real analytic unbounded solutions. As a consequence we also provide a positive answer to a question of Burns on homogeneous polynomials whose logarithm satisfies the complex Monge–Ampère equation and we obtain a generalization the work of Wong on the classification of complete weighted circular domains.     

Brill–Noether theory for cyclic covers

We recall that the Brill–Noether Theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a ${\mathfrak{g}}_d^r$. Here we consider a general n-fold, étale, cyclic cover $p:\stackrel{?}{C}\to C$ of a curve C of genus g and investigate for which numbers $r,d$ a ${\mathfrak{g}}_d^r$ exists on $\stackrel{?}{C}$. For $r=1$ this means computing the gonality of $\stackrel{?}{C}$. Using degeneration to a special singular example (containing a Castelnuovo canonical curve) and the theory of limit linear series for tree-like curves we show that the Plücker formula yields a necessary condition for the existence of a ${\mathfrak{g}}_d^r$ which is only slightly weaker than the sufficient condition given by the results of Laksov and Kleimann [24], for all $n,r,d$.     

The Poincaré problem for foliations on compact toric orbifolds

We give an optimal upper bound of the degree of quasi-smooth hypersurfaces which are invariant by a one-dimensional holomorphic foliation on a compact toric orbifold, i.e. on a complete simplicial toric variety. This bound depends only on the degree of the foliation and of the degrees of the toric homogeneous coordinates.

     

The Brill–Noether curve and Prym-Tyurin varieties

We prove that the Jacobian of a general curve C of genus $g=2a+1$ , with $a\ge 2$ , can be realized as a Prym-Tyurin variety for the Brill–Noether curve $W^{1}_{a+2}(C)$ . As consequence of this result we are able to compute the class of the sum of secant divisors of the curve C, embedded with a complete linear series $g^{a-1}_{3a-2}$ .     

The Bernstein–Orlicz norm and deviation inequalities

We introduce two new concepts designed for the study of empirical processes. First, we introduce a new Orlicz norm which we call the Bernstein–Orlicz norm. This new norm interpolates sub-Gaussian and sub-exponential tail behavior. In particular, we show how this norm can be used to simplify the derivation of deviation inequalities for suprema of collections of random variables. Secondly, we introduce chaining and generic chaining along a tree. These simplify the well-known concepts of chaining and generic chaining. The supremum of the empirical process is then studied as a special case. We show that chaining along a tree can be done using entropy with bracketing. Finally, we establish a deviation inequality for the empirical process for the unbounded case.     

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system with singular potential

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system is a fundamental diffuse-interface model for an incompressible binary fluid confined in a Hele–Shaw cell. It consists of a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation in which the velocity u is subject to a Korteweg force through Darcy's equation. In this paper, we aim to investigate the system with a physically relevant potential (i.e., of logarithmic type). This choice ensures that the (relative) concentration difference φ takes values within the admissible range. To the best of our knowledge, essentially all the available contributions in the literature are concerned with a regular approximation of the singular potential. Here we first prove the existence of a global weak solution with finite energy that satisfies an energy dissipative property. Then, in dimension two, we further obtain the uniqueness and regularity of global weak solutions. In particular, we show that any two-dimensional weak solution satisfies the so-called strict separation property, namely, if φ is not a pure state at some initial time, then it stays instantaneously away from the pure states. When the spatial dimension is three, we prove the existence of a unique global strong solution, provided that the initial datum is regular enough and sufficiently close to any local minimizer of the free energy. This also yields the local Lyapunov stability of the local minimizer itself. Finally, we prove that under suitable assumptions any global solution converges to a single equilibrium as time goes to infinity.

Michael–Simon inequalities for k-th mean curvatures

This paper continues the study of Alexandrov–Fenchel inequalities for quermassintegrals for \(k\) -convex domains. It focuses on the application to the Michael–Simon type inequalities for \(k\) -curvature operators. The proof uses optimal transport maps as a tool to relate curvature quantities defined on the boundary of a domain.
