Another look at a notion of fractional mass in codimension two
Michele Caselli, Mattia Freguglia, Nicola Picenni
We study a notion of fractional -mass for codimension-two currents on closed Riemannian manifolds, defined via energy minimization with a prescribed Jacobian constraint. We prov…
-convergence for higher order nonlocal phase transitions
Hardy Chan, Serena Dipierro, Mattia Freguglia +2
For every , we study the asymptotic behavior of the -rescaled sum of the -fractional Allen-Cahn energy and the squared -norm of its first variation…
Min-max theory and Yamabe metrics on conical four-manifolds
Mattia Freguglia, Andrea Malchiodi, Francesco Malizia
We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on four-manifolds possessing finitely-many conical points with -group, using for the first time a min-max scheme in the singular…
Coercivity and Gamma-convergence of the -energy of sphere-valued Sobolev maps
Michele Caselli, Mattia Freguglia, Nicola Picenni
We consider sequences of maps from an -dimensional domain into the -sphere, which satisfy a natural -energy growth, as approaches from below. We prove that…
-Limsup estimate for a nonlocal approximation of the Willmore functional
Hardy Chan, Mattia Freguglia, Marco Inversi
We propose a possible nonlocal approximation of the Willmore functional, in the sense of Gamma-convergence, based on the first variation ot the fractional Allen-Cahn energies, and…
A nonlocal approximation of the area in codimension two
Michele Caselli, Mattia Freguglia, Nicola Picenni
For we introduce a notion of fractional -mass on -dimensional closed, orientable surfaces in . Moreover, we prove its -convergence, with respect to…
Yamabe metrics on conical manifolds
Mattia Freguglia, Andrea Malchiodi
We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on singular manifolds with conical points and conical links of Einstein type that include orbifold structures. We deal with metrics of generic…
On a conjecture of De Giorgi about the phase-field approximation of the Willmore functional
Giovanni Bellettini, Mattia Freguglia, Nicola Picenni
In 1991 De Giorgi conjectured that, given , if stands for the density of the Allen-Cahn energy and represents its first variation, then $\int […
