We study minimizers of the Allen–Cahn system. We consider the $\varepsilon$-energy functional with Dirichlet values and we establish the $\Gamma$-limit. The minimizers of the limiting functional are closely related to minimizing partitions of the domain. Finally, utilizing that the triod and the straight line are the only minimal cones in the plane together with regularity results for minimal curves, we determine the precise structure of the minimizers of the limiting functional, and thus the limit of minimizers of the $\varepsilon$-energy functional as $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$.

In this work, we study the Sobolev stability of shear flows near Couette in the 2D incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with background magnetic field $(\alpha,0 )^\top$ on $\mathbb {T}\times \mathbb {R}$. More precisely, for sufficiently large $\alpha$, we show that when the initial datum of the shear flow satisfies $\left \| U(y)-y\right \|_{H^{N+6}}\ll 1$, with $N>1$, and the initial perturbations ${u}_{\mathrm {in}}$ and ${b}_{\mathrm {in}}$ satisfy $\left \| ( {u}_{\mathrm {in}},{b}_{\mathrm {in}}) \right \| _{H^{N+1}}=\epsilon \ll \nu ^{\frac 56+\tilde \delta }$ for any fixed $\tilde \delta >0$, then the solution of the 2D MHD equations remains $\nu ^{-(\frac {1}{3}+\frac {\tilde \delta }{2})}\epsilon$-close to $( e^{\nu t \partial _{yy}}U(y),0)^\top$ for all $t>0$.

Assuming an averaged form of Mertens’ conjecture and that the ordinates of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are linearly independent over the rationals, we analyse the finer structure of the terms in a well-known formula of Ramanujan.

In the present paper we deal with a quasi-linear elliptic equation depending on a sublinear nonlinearity involving the gradient. We prove the existence of a nontrivial nodal solution employing the theory of invariant sets of descending flow together with sub-supersolution techniques, gradient regularity arguments, strong comparison principle for the $p$-Laplace operator. The same conclusion is obtained for an eigenvalue problem under a different set of assumptions.

Let $X,\,Y$ be Banach spaces and fix a linear operator $T \in \mathcal {L}(X,\,Y)$ and ideals $\mathcal {I},\, \mathcal {J}$ on the nonnegative integers. We obtain Silverman–Toeplitz type theorems on matrices $A=(A_{n,k}: n,\,k \in \omega )$ of linear operators in $\mathcal {L}(X,\,Y)$, so that

\[ \mathcal{J}\text{-}\lim A\boldsymbol{x}=T(\mathcal{I}\text{-}\lim \boldsymbol{x}) \]

We prove Abelian and Tauberian theorems for regularized Cauchy transforms of positive Borel measures on the real line whose distribution functions grow at most polynomially at infinity. In particular, we relate the asymptotics of the distribution functions to the asymptotics of the regularized Cauchy transform.

For $s_1,\,s_2\in (0,\,1)$ and $p,\,q \in (1,\, \infty )$, we study the following nonlinear Dirichlet eigenvalue problem with parameters $\alpha,\, \beta \in \mathbb {R}$ driven by the sum of two nonlocal operators:

\[ (-\Delta)^{s_1}_p u+(-\Delta)^{s_2}_q u=\alpha|u|^{p-2}u+\beta|u|^{q-2}u\ \text{in }\Omega, \quad u=0\ \text{in } \mathbb{R}^d \setminus \Omega, \quad \mathrm{(P)} \]

In this paper, we classify simple smooth modules over the mirror Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra ${\mathfrak {D}}$, and simple smooth modules over the twisted Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra $\bar {\mathfrak {D}}$ with non-zero level. To this end we generalize Sugawara operators to smooth modules over the Heisenberg algebra, and develop new techniques. As applications, we characterize simple Whittaker modules and simple highest weight modules over ${\mathfrak {D}}$. A vertex-algebraic interpretation of our result is the classification of simple weak twisted and untwisted modules over the Heisenberg–Virasoro vertex algebras. We also present a few examples of simple smooth ${\mathfrak {D}}$-modules and $\bar {\mathfrak {D}}$-modules induced from simple modules over finite dimensional solvable Lie algebras, that are not tensor product modules of Virasoro modules and Heisenberg modules. This is very different from the case of simple highest weight modules over $\mathfrak {D}$ and $\bar {\mathfrak {D}}$ which are always tensor products of simple Virasoro modules and simple Heisenberg modules.

Wigner's theorem characterizes isometries of the set of all rank one projections on a Hilbert space. In metric geometry, nonexpansive maps and noncontractive maps are well-studied generalizations of isometries. We show that under certain conditions Wigner symmetries can be characterized as nonexpansive or noncontractive maps on the set of all projections of rank one. The assumptions required for such characterizations are injectivity or surjectivity and they differ in the finite and the infinite-dimensional case. Motivated by a recently obtained optimal version of Uhlhorn's generalization of Wigner's theorem, we also give a description of nonexpansive maps which satisfy a condition that is much weaker than surjectivity. Such maps do not need to be Wigner symmetries. The optimality of all presented results is shown by counterexamples.

Inspired by a result in T. H. Colding. (16). Acta. Math. 209(2) (2012), 229-263 [16] of Colding, the present paper studies the Green function $G$ on a non-parabolic $\operatorname {RCD}(0,\,N)$ space $(X,\, \mathsf {d},\, \mathfrak {m})$ for some finite $N>2$. Defining $\mathsf {b}_x=G(x,\, \cdot )^{\frac {1}{2-N}}$ for a point $x \in X$, which plays a role of a smoothed distance function from $x$, we prove that the gradient $|\nabla \mathsf {b}_x|$ has the canonical pointwise representative with the sharp upper bound in terms of the $N$-volume density $\nu _x=\lim _{r\to 0^+}\frac {\mathfrak {m} (B_r(x))}{r^N}$ of $\mathfrak {m}$ at $x$;

\[ |\nabla \mathsf{b}_x|(y) \le \left(N(N-2)\nu_x\right)^{\frac{1}{N-2}}, \quad \text{for any }y \in X \setminus \{x\}. \]

We investigate the existence and branching patterns of wave trains in the mass-in-mass (MiM) lattice, which is a variant of the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam (FPU) lattice. In contrast to FPU lattice, we have to solve coupled advance-delay differential equations, which are reduced to a finite-dimensional bifurcation equation with an inherited Hamiltonian structure by applying a Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction and invariant theory. We establish a link between the MiM lattice and the monatomic FPU lattice. That is, the monochromatic and bichromatic wave trains persist near $\mu =0$ in the nonresonance case and in the resonance case $p:q$ where $q$ is not an integer multiple of $p$. Furthermore, we obtain the multiplicity of bichromatic wave trains in $p:q$ resonance where $q$ is an integer multiple of $p$, based on the singular theorem.

We present a unified approach to the processes of inversion and duality for quasilinear and $1$-quasilinear maps; in particular, for centralizers and differentials generated by interpolation methods.

We generalize the one-dimensional population model of Anguige & Schmeiser [1] reflecting the cell-to-cell adhesion and volume filling and classify the resulting equation into the six types. Among these types, we fix one that yields a class of advection-diffusion equations of forward-backward-forward type and prove the existence of infinitely many global-in-time weak solutions to the initial-Dirichlet boundary value problem when the maximum value of an initial population density exceeds a certain threshold. Such solutions are extracted from the method of convex integration by Müller & Šverák [12]; they exhibit fine-scale density mixtures over a finite time interval, then become smooth and identical, and decay exponentially and uniformly to zero as time approaches infinity.

In this paper, we look for minimizers of the energy functional for isotropic compressible elasticity taking into consideration the effect of a gravitational field induced by the body itself. We consider two types of problems: the displacement problem in which the outer boundary of the body is subjected to a Dirichlet-type boundary condition, and the one with zero traction on the boundary but with an internal pressure function. For a spherically symmetric body occupying the unit ball $\mathcal {B}\in \mathbb {R}^3$, the minimization is done within the class of radially symmetric deformations. We give conditions for the existence of such minimizers, for satisfaction of the Euler–Lagrange equations, and show that for large displacements or large internal pressures, the minimizer must develop a cavity at the centre. We discuss a numerical scheme for approximating the minimizers for the displacement problem, together with some simulations that show the dependence of the cavity radius and minimum energy on the displacement and mass density of the body.

We study sufficient conditions under which a nowhere scattered $\mathrm {C}^*$-algebra $A$ has a nowhere scattered multiplier algebra $\mathcal {M}(A)$, that is, we study when $\mathcal {M}(A)$ has no nonzero, elementary ideal-quotients. In particular, we prove that a $\sigma$-unital $\mathrm {C}^*$-algebra $A$ of

1. (i) finite nuclear dimension, or

2. (ii) real rank zero, or

3. (iii) stable rank one with $k$-comparison,

We consider Calderón's problem for the connection Laplacian on a real-analytic vector bundle over a manifold with boundary. We prove a uniqueness result for this problem when all geometric data are real-analytic, recovering the topology and geometry of a vector bundle up to a gauge transformation and an isometry of the base manifold.

In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices. Then we compute symmetric topological complexity of several small covers over a product of simplices. We calculate the LS one-category of real Bott manifolds and infinitely many small covers.

The present paper deals with the non-real eigenvalues for singular indefinite Sturm–Liouville problems. The lower bounds on non-real eigenvalues for this singular problem associated with a special separated boundary condition are obtained.

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 $\nu$.
