Geroch monotonicity and the construction of weak solutions of the inverse mean curvature flow
Roger Moser
Jan 01, 0001
For surfaces evolving under the inverse mean curvature flow, Geroch observed that the Hawking mass is a Lyapunov function. For weak solutions of the flow, the corresponding monotonicity formula was proved by Huisken and Ilmanen....
Structure and rigidity of functions in BVloc2(R2) with gradients taking only three values
Roger Moser
Apr 06, 2018

Consider a function u ∈ BV 2 loc(R 2 such that ∇u takes values in a fixed set of three vectors almost everywhere. This condition implies that u is piecewise affine away from a closed set of...

Intrinsic semiharmonic maps
Roger Moser
Jan 01, 0001
For maps from a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ into a Riemannian manifold $N$, a functional coming from the norm of a fractional Sobolev space has recently been studied by Da Lio and Rivière. An intrinsically defined...
Towards a variational theory of phase transitions involving curvature
Roger Moser
Aug 01, 2012
An anisotropic area functional is often used as a model for the free energy of a crystal surface. For models of faceting, the anisotropy is typically such that the functional becomes nonconvex, and then it may be appropriate to...
A geometric Ginzburg-Landau problem
Roger Moser
Apr 01, 2013
For surfaces embedded in a three-dimensional Euclidean space, consider a functional consisting of two terms: a version of the Willmore energy and an anisotropic area penalising the first component of the normal vector, the...
A construction of biharmonic maps into homogeneous spaces
Roger Moser
Jan 01, 0001
Biharmonic maps are the solutions of a variational problem, but they are difficult to study with variational methods, in part due to the lack of coercivity of the underlying functional. Recently Hornung was able to apply the...
Regularity of gradient vector fields giving rise to finite Caccioppoli partitions
Roger Moser
Jul 15, 2022

For a finite set A⊆ R n, consider a function u∈BVloc2(Rn) such that ∇ u∈ A almost everywhere. If A is convex independent, then it follows that u is piecewise affine away from a closed, countably H n...

An L<sup>p</sup> regularity theory for harmonic maps
Roger Moser
Jan 01, 2015

Motivated by the harmonic map heat flow, we consider maps between Riemannian manifolds such that the tension field belongs to an Lp-space. Under an appropriate smallness condition, a certain degree of regularity...

Structure and classification results for the ∞-elastica problem
Roger Moser
Oct 31, 2022
Consider the following variational problem: among all curves in Rn of fixed length with prescribed end points and prescribed tangents at the end points, minimise the L-norm of the curvature....

Intrinsically p-biharmonic maps
Peter Hornung, Roger Moser
Nov 01, 2014
For a compact Riemannian manifold $N$, a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ and for $p \in (1,\infty)$, we introduce an intrinsic version $E_p$ of the $p$-biharmonic energy functional for maps $u : \Omega \to N$. This requires...
Interaction energy of domain walls in a nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau type model from micromagnetics
Radu Ignat, Roger Moser
Jul 01, 2016
We study a variational model from micromagnetics involving a nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau type energy for S1-valued vector fields. These vector fields form domain walls, called Néel walls, that correspond to...
Energy minimisers of prescribed winding number in an S<sup>1</sup>-valued nonlocal Allen-Cahn type model
Radu Ignat, Roger Moser
Dec 01, 2019

We study a variational model for transition layers with an underlying functional that combines an Allen-Cahn type structure with an additional nonlocal interaction term. A transition layer is represented by a map from R to S...

Minimizers of a weighted maximum of the Gauss curvature
On a Riemann surface [`(S)] with smooth boundary, we consider Riemannian metrics conformal to a given background metric. Let κ be a smooth, positive function on [`(S)]. If K denotes the Gauss curvature, then the L ∞-norm of K/κ...
A zigzag pattern in micromagnetics
Radu Ignat, Roger Moser
Jan 01, 0001
We study a simplified model for the micromagnetic energy functional in a specific asymptotic regime. The analysis includes a construction of domain walls with an internal zigzag pattern and a lower bound for the energy of a...
