The tree property at the double successor of a singular cardinal with a larger gap

Starting from a Laver-indestructible supercompact κ and a weakly compact λ above κ, we show there is a forcing extension where κ is a strong limit singular cardinal with cofinality ω, $2^{\kappa }={\kappa }^{+3}={\lambda }^{+}$, and the tree property holds at ${\kappa }^{++}=\lambda$. Next we generalize this result to an arbitrary cardinal μ such that $\kappa <\mathrm{cf}(\mu )$ and ${\lambda }^{+}\le \mu$. This result provides more information about possible relationships between the tree property and the continuum function.     

Cauchy transform and Poisson’s equation

Let $u\in W^{1,p}\cap W_0^{1,p}$, $1?p?\infty$ be a solution of the Poisson equation $\Delta u=h$, $h\in L^p$, in the unit disk. We prove ${6?u6}_{L^p}?a_p{6h6}_{L^p}$ and ${6?u6}_{L^p}?b_p{6h6}_{L^p}$ with sharp constants $a_p$ and $b_p$, for $p=1$, $p=2$, and $p=\infty$. In addition, for $p>2$, with sharp constants $c_p$ and $C_p$, we show ${6?u6}_{L^{\infty }}?c_p{6h6}_{L^p}$ and ${6?u6}_{L^{\infty }}?C_p{6h6}_{L^p}$. We also give an extension to smooth Jordan domains.These problems are equivalent to determining a precise value of the $L^p$ norm of the Cauchy transform of Dirichlet’s problem.     

A boundary Schwarz lemma for pluriharmonic mappings from the unit polydisk to the unit ball

In this article, we present a Schwarz lemma at the boundary for pluriharmonic mappings from the unit polydisk to the unit ball, which generalizes classical Schwarz lemma for bounded harmonic functions to higher dimensions. It is proved that if the pluriharmonic mapping f ∈ P(D~n, B~N) is C~(1+α) at z0 ∈ E_rD~n with f(0) = 0 and f(z_0) = ω_0∈B~N for any n,N ≥ 1, then there exist a nonnegative vector λ_f =(λ_1,0,…,λ_r,0,…,0)~T∈R~(2 n)satisfying λ_i≥1/(2~(2 n-1)) for 1 ≤ i ≤ r such that where z'_0 and w'_0 are real versions of z_0 and w_0, respectively.     

Multiplicity and concentration behaviour of positive solutions for Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type equations involving the p-Laplacian in RN

In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type

$-{\in }^{p}M\left({\in }^{p-N}{\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^N}{\left|?u\right|}^p\right){\Delta }_{p}u+V\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u=f\left(u\right)$

in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, where Δ_p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1 < p < N, M: ${\mathbb{R}}^{+}\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ and V: ${\mathbb{R}}^{\text{N}}\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ are continuous functions, ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and Lyusternik-Schnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.     

Uniqueness of degree-one Ginzburg–Landau vortex in the unit ball in dimensions N ≥ 7

For $\epsilon >0$, we consider the Ginzburg–Landau functional for ${\mathbb{R}}^N$-valued maps defined in the unit ball $B^N?{\mathbb{R}}^N$ with the vortex boundary data x on $?B^N$. In dimensions $N\ge 7$, we prove that, for every $\epsilon >0$, there exists a unique global minimizer $u_{\epsilon }$ of this problem; moreover, $u_{\epsilon }$ is symmetric and of the form $u_{\epsilon }(x)=f_{\epsilon }(|x|)\frac{x}{|x|}$ for $x\in B^N$.
