Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$ ($N\geq 3$) be a $C^2$ bounded domain and $\Sigma \subset \partial \Omega$ be a $C^2$ compact submanifold without boundary, of dimension $k$, $0\leq k \leq N-1$. We assume that $\Sigma = \{0\}$ if $k = 0$ and $\Sigma =\partial \Omega$ if $k=N-1$. Let $d_{\Sigma }(x)=\mathrm {dist}\,(x,\Sigma )$ and $L_\mu = \Delta + \mu \,d_{\Sigma }^{-2}$, where $\mu \in {\mathbb {R}}$. We study boundary value problems ($P_\pm$) $-{L_\mu} u \pm |u|^{p-1}u = 0$ in $\Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)=\nu$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $p>1$, $\nu$ is a given measure on $\partial \Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)$ denotes the boundary trace of $u$ associated to $L_\mu$. Different critical exponents for the existence of a solution to ($P_\pm$) appear according to concentration of $\nu$. The solvability for problem ($P_+$) was proved in [3, 29] in subcritical ranges for $p$, namely for $p$ smaller than one of the critical exponents. In this paper, assuming the positivity of the first eigenvalue of $-L_\mu$, we provide conditions on $\nu$ expressed in terms of capacities for the existence of a (unique) solution to ($P_+$) in supercritical ranges for $p$, i.e. for $p$ equal or bigger than one of the critical exponents. We also establish various equivalent criteria for the existence of a solution to ($P_-$) under a smallness assumption on $\nu$.

The asymptotic mean value Laplacian—AMV Laplacian—extends the Laplace operator from $\mathbb {R}^n$ to metric measure spaces through limits of averaging integrals. The AMV Laplacian is however not a symmetric operator in general. Therefore, we consider a symmetric version of the AMV Laplacian, and focus lies on when the symmetric and non-symmetric AMV Laplacians coincide. Besides Riemannian and 3D contact sub-Riemannian manifolds, we show that they are identical on a large class of metric measure spaces, including locally Ahlfors regular spaces with suitably vanishing distortion. In addition, we study the context of weighted domains of $\mathbb {R}^n$—where the two operators typically differ—and provide explicit formulae for these operators, including points where the weight vanishes.

This paper first studies the multiplicity of normalized solutions to the non-autonomous Schrödinger equation with mixed nonlinearities

\begin{equation*}\begin{cases}-\Delta u=\lambda u+h(\epsilon x)|u|^{q-2}u+\eta |u|^{p-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N, \\\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u|^2\,\textrm{d}x=a^2,\end{cases}\end{equation*}

We study the possible singularities of an m-subharmonic function $\varphi $ along a complex submanifold V of a compact Kähler manifold, finding a maximal rate of growth for $\varphi $ which depends only on m and k, the codimension of V. When $k < m$, we show that $\varphi $ has at worst log poles along V, and that the strength of these poles is moreover constant along V. This can be thought of as an analogue of Siu’s theorem.

We will present the proof of existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions to a broad family of strongly non-linear elliptic equations with lower order terms and data of low integrability. The leading part of the operator satisfies general growth conditions settling the problem in the framework of fully anisotropic and inhomogeneous Musielak–Orlicz spaces. The setting considered in this paper generalized known results in the variable exponents, anisotropic polynomial, double phase and classical Orlicz setting.

Starting from loop equations, we prove that the wave functions constructed from topological recursion on families of degree $2$ spectral curves with a global involution satisfy a system of partial differential equations, whose equations can be seen as quantizations of the original spectral curves. The families of spectral curves can be parametrized with the so-called times, defined as periods on second type cycles, and with the poles. These equations can be used to prove that the WKB solution of many isomonodromic systems coincides with the topological recursion wave function, which proves that the topological recursion wave function is annihilated by a quantum curve. This recovers many known quantum curves for genus zero spectral curves and generalizes this construction to hyperelliptic curves.

In this paper, we address two boundary cases of the classical Kazdan–Warner problem. More precisely, we consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and boundary geodesic curvature on a disk of $\mathbb {R}^2$, and the scalar and mean curvature on a ball in higher dimensions, via a conformal change of the metric. We deal with the case of negative interior curvature and positive boundary curvature. Using a Ljapunov–Schmidt procedure, we obtain new existence results when the prescribed functions are close to constants.

In this paper, we are concerned with the non-existence of positive solutions of a Hartree–Poisson system:

\begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{aligned}&-\Delta u=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^{n-2}}\ast v^p\right)v^{p-1},\quad u \gt 0\ \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{n},\\&-\Delta v=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^{n-2}}\ast u^q\right)u^{q-1},\quad v \gt 0\ \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{n},\end{aligned}\right.\end{equation*}

We consider the two-dimensional minimisation problem for $\inf \{ E_a(\varphi ):\varphi \in H^1(\mathbb {R}^2)\ \text {and}\ \|\varphi \|_2^2=1\}$, where the energy functional $ E_a(\varphi )$ is a cubic-quintic Schrödinger functional defined by $E_a(\varphi ):=\tfrac 12\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\nabla \varphi |^2\,dx-\tfrac 14a\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\varphi |^4\,dx+\tfrac 16a^2\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\varphi |^6\,dx$. We study the existence and asymptotic behaviour of the ground state. The ground state $\varphi _{a}$ exists if and only if the $L^2$ mass a satisfies $a>a_*={\lVert Q\rVert }^2_2$, where Q is the unique positive radial solution of $-\Delta u+ u-u^3=0$ in $\mathbb {R}^2$. We show the optimal vanishing rate $\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\nabla \varphi _{a}|^2\,dx\sim (a-a_*)$ as $a\searrow a_*$ and obtain the limit profile.

In this paper, we prove some weighted sharp inequalities of Trudinger–Moser type. The weights considered here have a logarithmic growth. These inequalities are completely new and are established in some new Sobolev spaces where the norm is a mixture of the norm of the gradient in two different Lebesgue spaces. This fact allowed us to prove a very interesting result of sharpness for the case of doubly exponential growth at infinity. Some improvements of these inequalities for the weakly convergent sequences are also proved using a version of the Concentration-Compactness principle of P.L. Lions. Taking profit of these inequalities, we treat in the last part of this work some elliptic quasilinear equation involving the weighted $(N,q)-$Laplacian operator where $1 < q < N$ and a nonlinearities enjoying a new type of exponential growth condition at infinity.

In this work, we study an elliptic problem involving an operator of mixed order with both local and nonlocal aspects, and in either the presence or the absence of a singular nonlinearity. We investigate existence or nonexistence properties, power- and exponential-type Sobolev regularity results, and the boundary behaviour of the weak solution, in the light of the interplay between the summability of the datum and the power exponent in singular nonlinearities.

The Schrödinger–Poisson system describes standing waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation interacting with the electrostatic field. In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of positive ground states to the planar Schrödinger–Poisson system with a nonlinearity having either a subcritical or a critical exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser. A feature of this paper is that neither the finite steep potential nor the reaction satisfies any symmetry or periodicity hypotheses. The analysis developed in this paper seems to be the first attempt in the study of planar Schrödinger–Poisson systems with lack of symmetry.

The main purpose of this paper is to capture the asymptotic behaviour for solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations with the anisotropic weights consisting of two power-type weights of different dimensions near the degenerate or singular point, especially covering the weighted p-Laplace equations and weighted fast diffusion equations. As a consequence, we also establish the local Hölder estimates for their solutions in the presence of single power-type weights.

This project uses methods in geometric analysis to study almost complex manifolds. We introduce the notion of biharmonic almost complex structure on a compact almost Hermitian manifold and study its regularity and existence in dimension four. First, we show that there always exists smooth energy-minimizing biharmonic almost-complex structures for any almost Hermitian four manifold. Then, we study the existence problem where the homotopy class is specified. Given a homotopy class $[\tau ]$ of an almost complex structure, using the fact $\pi _4(S^2)=\mathbb {Z}_2$ , there exists a canonical operation p on the homotopy classes satisfying $p^2=\text {id}$ such that $p([\tau ])$ and $[\tau ]$ have the same first Chern class. We prove that there exists an energy-minimizing biharmonic almost complex structure in the companion homotopy classes $[\tau ]$ and $p([\tau ])$ . Our results show that, When M is simply connected, there exists an energy-minimizing biharmonic almost complex structure in the homotopy classes with the given first Chern class.

We consider the growth of the convex viscosity solution of the Monge–Ampère equation $\det D^2u=1$ outside a bounded domain of the upper half space. We show that if u is a convex quadratic polynomial on the boundary $\{x_n=0\}$ and there exists some $\varepsilon>0$ such that $u=O(|x|^{3-\varepsilon })$ at infinity, then $u=O(|x|^2)$ at infinity. As an application, we improve the asymptotic result at infinity for viscosity solutions of Monge–Ampère equations in half spaces of Jia, Li and Li [‘Asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions of Monge–Ampère equations in half spaces’, J. Differential Equations 269(1) (2020), 326–348].

We establish a priori bounds, existence and qualitative behaviour of positive radial solutions in annuli for a class of nonlinear systems driven by Pucci extremal operators and Lane-Emden coupling in the superlinear regime. Our approach is purely nonvariational. It is based on the shooting method, energy functionals, spectral properties, and on a suitable criteria for locating critical points in annular domains through the moving planes method that we also prove.

Motivated by some models of pattern formation involving an unoriented director field in the plane, we study a family of unoriented counterparts to the Aviles–Giga functional. We introduce a nonlinear $\operatorname {\mathrm {curl}}$ operator for such unoriented vector fields as well as a family of even entropies which we call ‘trigonometric entropies’. Using these tools, we show two main theorems which parallel some results in the literature on the classical Aviles–Giga energy. The first is a compactness result for sequences of configurations with uniformly bounded energies. The second is a complete characterization of zero-states, that is, the limit configurations when the energies go to 0. These are Lipschitz continuous away from a locally finite set of points, near which they form either a vortex pattern or a disclination with degree 1/2. The proof is based on a combination of regularity theory together with techniques coming from the study of the Ginzburg–Landau energy. Our methods provide alternative proofs in the classical Aviles–Giga context.
