We study N = 2 vacua in spontaneously broken N = 4 electrically gauged supergravities in four space-time dimensions. We argue that the classification of all such solutions amounts to solving a system of purely algebraic equations. We then explicitly constr ...
The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained proof that a complete manifold with more than one end never supports an L-q,L-p-Sobolev inequality (2
In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space equipped with the homogeneous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the sense of Riemannian geometry, as it is isometric to an ...
Single molecular switches are basic device elements in organic electronics. The pentacene analogue anthradithiophene (ADT) shows a fully reversible binary switching between different adsorption conformations on a metallic surface accompanied by a charge tr ...
We study the nonlinear stochastic heat equation in the spatial domain R, driven by space-time white noise. A central special case is the parabolic Anderson model. The initial condition is taken to be a measure on R, such as the Dirac delta function, but th ...
We consider total variation (TV) minimization for manifold-valued data. We propose a cyclic proximal point algorithm and a parallel proximal point algorithm to minimize TV functionals with l(p) -type data terms in the manifold case. These algorithms are ba ...
We complete the picture of sharp eigenvalue estimates for the -Laplacian on a compact manifold by providing sharp estimates on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the nonlinear operator when the Ricci curvature is bounded from below by a negative constant. We ...
In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces W-1,W-q (X, d, m), 1 < q < infinity, in metric measure spaces (X, d, m). In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the reflexivity of the Sobolev spac ...
The new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from Planck provide the highest-quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to date. This allows us to detect possible departures from the standard model of a globally homogen ...
In Control System Theory, the study of continuous-time, finite dimensional, underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations is an important topic. Classification of systems in different categories is a natural initial step to the analysis of a g ...
