Decomposition of functions of bounded variation in Ahlfors-regular PI spaces

Paolo Bonicatto, Panu Lahti, Enrico Pasqualetto

We prove that, on a non-compact Ahlfors-regular PI space, every function of bounded variation can be decomposed as a countable sum of monotone functions…

A topological characterization of indecomposable sets of finite perimeter

Paolo Bonicatto, Panu Lahti, Enrico Pasqualetto

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topologica…

A general Frobenius' Theorem via the Transport of Currents

Paolo Bonicatto

A classical result in Differential Geometry states that the flows of two smooth vector fields commute if and only if their Lie Bracket vanishes. In this work, we extend this result…

The Space-Time Connectivity Theorem for Normal Currents

Paolo Bonicatto, Filip Rindler, Harry Turnbull

This work establishes a Space-Time Connectivity Theorem for normal currents. In analogy with classical results of Federer and Fleming, this result allows one to witness the weak* c…

Well-posedness of the transport of normal currents by time-dependent vector fields

Paolo Bonicatto, Giacomo Del Nin

We prove existence and uniqueness for the transport equation for currents (Geometric Transport Equation) when the driving vector field is time-dependent, Lipschitz in space and mer…

Homogenization of elasto-plastic evolutions driven by the flow of dislocations

Paolo Bonicatto, Filip Rindler

Starting from a prototypical model of elasto-plasticity in the small-strain and quasi-static setting, where the evolution of the plastic distortion is driven exclusively by the mot…

Local Poincaré constants and mean oscillation functionals for functions

Adolfo Arroyo-Rabasa, Paolo Bonicatto, Giacomo Del Nin

We introduce the concept of local Poincaré constant of a function as a tool to understand the relation between its mean oscillation and its total variation at small scales. Th…

A regularity result for the Fokker-Planck equation with non-smooth drift and diffusion

Paolo Bonicatto, Gennaro Ciampa, Gianluca Crippa

The goal of this paper is to study weak solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation. We first discuss existence and uniqueness of weak solutions in an irregular context, providing a un…

Transport of currents and geometric Rademacher-type theorems

Paolo Bonicatto, Giacomo Del Nin, Filip Rindler

The transport of many kinds of singular structures in a medium, such as vortex points/lines/sheets in fluids, dislocation loops in crystalline plastic solids, or topological singul…

Representation of the total variation as a -limit of -type seminorms

Adolfo Arroyo-Rabasa, Paolo Bonicatto, Giacomo Del Nin

We address a question raised by Ambrosio, Bourgain, Brezis, and Figalli, proving that the -limit, with respect to the topology, of a family of -type seminor…

Decomposition of integral metric currents

Paolo Bonicatto, Giacomo Del Nin, Enrico Pasqualetto

In the setting of complete metric spaces, we prove that integral currents can be decomposed as a sum of indecomposable components. In the special case of one-dimensional integral c…
