Nonlinear scalar field equations with general nonlinearity
2018
Consider the nonlinear scalar field equation \begin{equation} \label{a1} -\Delta{u}= f(u)\quad\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N,\qquad u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{equation} where $N\geq3$ and $f$ satisfies the general Berestycki-Lions conditions. We are interested in the existence of positive ground states, of nonradial solutions and in the multiplicity of radial and nonradial solutions. Very recently Mederski [30] made a major advance in that direction through the development, in an abstract setting, of a new critical point theory for constrained functionals. In this paper we propose an alternative, more elementary approach, which permits to recover Mederski's results on the scalar field equation. T…
The horospherical Gauss-Bonnet type theorem in hyperbolic space
2006
We introduce the notion horospherical curvatures of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and show that totally umbilic hypersurfaces with vanishing cur- vatures are only horospheres. We also show that the Gauss-Bonnet type theorem holds for the horospherical Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a closed orientable even dimensional hypersurface in hyperbolic space. + (i1) by using the model in Minkowski space. We introduced the notion of hyperbolic Gauss indicatrices slightly modified the definition of hyperbolic Gauss maps. The notion of hyperbolic indicatrices is independent of the choice of the model of hyperbolic space. Using the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix, we defined the principal hyperbolic curv…
Weighted Hardy inequalities beyond Lipschitz domains
2014
It is a well-known fact that in a Lipschitz domain \Omega\subset R^n a p-Hardy inequality, with weight d(x,\partial\Omega)^\beta, holds for all u\in C_0^\infty(\Omega) whenever \beta<p-1. We show that actually the same is true under the sole assumption that the boundary of the domain satisfies a uniform density condition with the exponent \lambda=n-1. Corresponding results also hold for smaller exponents, and, in fact, our methods work in general metric spaces satisfying standard structural assumptions.
A density result on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces in the plane
2018
We show the density of smooth Sobolev functions $W^{k,\infty}(\Omega)\cap C^\infty(\Omega)$ in the Orlicz-Sobolev spaces $L^{k,\Psi}(\Omega)$ for bounded simply connected planar domains $\Omega$ and doubling Young functions $\Psi$.
Abstract and concrete tangent modules on Lipschitz differentiability spaces
2020
We construct an isometric embedding from Gigli's abstract tangent module into the concrete tangent module of a space admitting a (weak) Lipschitz differentiable structure, and give two equivalent conditions which characterize when the embedding is an isomorphism. Together with arguments from a recent article by Bate--Kangasniemi--Orponen, this equivalence is used to show that the ${\rm Lip}-{\rm lip}$ -type condition ${\rm lip} f\le C|Df|$ implies the existence of a Lipschitz differentiable structure, and moreover self-improves to ${\rm lip} f =|Df|$. We also provide a direct proof of a result by Gigli and the second author that, for a space with a strongly rectifiable decomposition, Gigli'…
Approximation by uniform domains in doubling quasiconvex metric spaces
2020
We show that any bounded domain in a doubling quasiconvex metric space can be approximated from inside and outside by uniform domains.
Self-improvement of weighted pointwise inequalities on open sets
2020
We prove a general self-improvement property for a family of weighted pointwise inequalities on open sets, including pointwise Hardy inequalities with distance weights. For this purpose we introduce and study the classes of $p$-Poincar\'e and $p$-Hardy weights for an open set $\Omega\subset X$, where $X$ is a metric measure space. We also apply the self-improvement of weighted pointwise Hardy inequalities in connection with usual integral versions of Hardy inequalities.
Equivalence of viscosity and weak solutions for the $p(x)$-Laplacian
2010
We consider different notions of solutions to the $p(x)$-Laplace equation $-\div(\abs{Du(x)}^{p(x)-2}Du(x))=0$ with $ 1<p(x)<\infty$. We show by proving a comparison principle that viscosity supersolutions and $p(x)$-superharmonic functions of nonlinear potential theory coincide. This implies that weak and viscosity solutions are the same class of functions, and that viscosity solutions to Dirichlet problems are unique. As an application, we prove a Rad\'o type removability theorem.
Hardy-Orlicz Spaces of conformal densities
2014
We define and prove characterizations of Hardy-Orlicz spaces of conformal densities.
The Poisson embedding approach to the Calderón problem
2020
We introduce a new approach to the anisotropic Calder\'on problem, based on a map called Poisson embedding that identifies the points of a Riemannian manifold with distributions on its boundary. We give a new uniqueness result for a large class of Calder\'on type inverse problems for quasilinear equations in the real analytic case. The approach also leads to a new proof of the result by Lassas and Uhlmann (2001) solving the Calder\'on problem on real analytic Riemannian manifolds. The proof uses the Poisson embedding to determine the harmonic functions in the manifold up to a harmonic morphism. The method also involves various Runge approximation results for linear elliptic equations.
