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…
