The purpose of this paper is to investigate the vanishing theorems problem of a generalized harmonic map in a class of sub-Riemannian manifolds. More specifically, we consider a horizontal functional related to the pullback metrics and introduce the concept of (weakly) stationary maps with potential H into Heisenberg groups. By using the stress-energy tensor method, we achieve some vanishing theorems for these maps under diverse proper conditions respectively.

We study a bulk-surface Cahn–Hilliard model with non-degenerate mobility and singular potentials in two dimensions. Following the ideas of the recent work by Conti, Galimberti, Gatti, and Giorgini [Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations, 64(3):Paper No. 87, 32, 2025] for the Cahn–Hilliard equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, we show the uniqueness of weak solutions together with a continuous dependence estimate for sufficiently regular mobility functions. Next, under weaker assumptions on the mobility functions, we show the existence of a weak solution that exhibits the propagation of uniform-in-time regularity and satisfies the instantaneous separation property. Lastly, we consider the long-time behavior and prove that the unique weak solution converges to a solution of the stationary bulk-surface Cahn–Hilliard equation. Our approach for the uniqueness proof relies on a new well-posedness and regularity theory for a bulk-surface elliptic system with non-constant coefficients, which may be of independent interest.

We solve two main questions on linear structures of (non-)norm-attaining Lipschitz functions. First, we show that for every infinite metric space M, the set consisting of Lipschitz functions on M which do not strongly attain their norm and the zero function contains an isometric copy of ℓ∞, and moreover, those functions can be chosen not to attain their norm as functionals on the Lipschitz-free space over M. Second, we prove that for every infinite metric space M, neither the set of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions on M nor the union of its complement with zero is ever a linear space. Furthermore, we observe that the set consisting of Lipschitz functions which cannot be approximated by strongly norm-attaining ones and the zero element contains ℓ∞ isometrically in all the known cases. Some natural observations and spaceability results are also investigated for Lipschitz functions that attain their norm in one way but do not in another.

In this paper we prove two properties of positive weak solutions for quasilinear elliptic equation of the type , with f satisfying certain structure conditions and involving the product of the function and its gradient. First, we establish a priori estimates for all solutions by utilizing the well-known doubling lemma. Then, we use topological degree to prove the existence of positive weak solutions. Our proof is based on a priori bounds, which will be achieved by applying a blow-up technique developed in [Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 34 (2018) 195–220]. Since the gradient of solution is singular near the boundary, we adopt a suitable weighted norm that involves the distance function to describe this singularity, and then add the restrictions on the exponents of quasilinear equations to the exponent of the weight terms, thereby extending the assumptions regarding upper bounds on exponent of solution from Serrin exponent presented in [Nonlinear Anal. 220 (2020) 112873] to Sobolev exponent.

The existence and the regularity results obtained in [41] for the variational model introduced in [40] to study the optimal shape of crystalline materials in the setting of stress-driven rearrangement instabilities (SDRI) are extended from two dimensions to any dimensions n ≥ 2. The energy is the sum of the elastic and the surface energy contributions, which cannot be decoupled, and depend on configurational pairs consisting of a set and a function that model the region occupied by the crystal and the bulk displacement field, respectively. By following the physical literature, the “driving stress” due to the mismatch between the ideal free-standing equilibrium lattice of the crystal with respect to adjacent materials is included in the model by considering a discontinuous mismatch strain in the elastic energy. Since two-dimensional methods and the methods used in the previous literature where Dirichlet boundary conditions instead of the mismatch strain and only the wetting regime were considered, cannot be employed in this setting, we proceed differently, by including in the analysis the dewetting regime and carefully analyzing the fine properties of energy-equibounded sequences. This analysis allows to establish both a compactness property in the family of admissible configurations and the lower semicontinuity of the energy with respect to the topology induced by the L1-convergence of sets and a.e. convergence of displacement fields, so that the direct method can be applied. We also prove that our arguments work as well in the setting with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

In this paper, we establish two p-eigenvalue pinching sphere theorems, for the p-Laplacian, p > 1. The first result states that if the first non-zero p-eigenvalue of a closed Riemannian n-manifold with sectional curvature KM ≥ 1 is sufficiently close to the first non-zero p-eigenvalue of then M is homeomorphic to . The second states that if the first non-zero p-eigenvalue of a closed Riemannian n-manifold with Ricci curvature and injectivity radius injM ≥ i0 > 0 is sufficiently close to the first non-zero p-eigenvalue of then M is diffeomorphic to . Our results extend sphere theorems originally settled for the Laplacian by S. Croke [1] and G.P. Bessa [2] respectively.

We study the partial regularity of suitable weak solutions for non-Newtonian Navier-Stokes equations that is specifically a power-law type of shear thickening flows. We prove a generalization of CKN theorem for the power in the range . As one of our main tools, we establish an ϵ-regularity criterion, that is, the smallness of a scaling invariant local norm for of the velocity filed, which seems to be of independent interest.
