Minimizing cones for fractional capillarity problems

Serena Dipierro, Francesco Maggi, Enrico Valdinoci

We consider a fractional version of Gauss capillarity energy. A suitable extension problem is introduced to derive a boundary monotonicity formula for local minimizers of this frac…

Smoothness of collapsed regions in a capillarity model for soap films

Darren King, Francesco Maggi, Salvatore Stuvard

We study generalized minimizers in the soap film capillarity model introduced in [arXiv:1807.05200,arXiv:1907.00551]. Collapsed regions of generalized minimizers are shown to be sm…

Symmetry and Rigidity of Minimal Surfaces with Plateau-like Singularities

Jacob Bernstein, Francesco Maggi

By employing the method of moving planes in a novel way we extend some classical symmetry and rigidity results for smooth minimal surfaces to surfaces that have singularities of th…

Collapsing and the convex hull property in a soap film capillarity model

Darren King, Francesco Maggi, Salvatore Stuvard

Soap films hanging from a wire frame are studied in the framework of capillarity theory. Minimizers in the corresponding variational problem are known to consist of positive volume…

Plateau's problem as a singular limit of capillarity problems

Darren King, Francesco Maggi, Salvatore Stuvard

Soap films at equilibrium are modeled, rather than as surfaces, as regions of small total volume through the introduction of a capillarity problem with a homotopic spanning conditi…

Soap films with gravity and almost-minimal surfaces

Francesco Maggi, Antonello Scardicchio, Salvatore Stuvard

Motivated by the study of the equilibrium equations for a soap film hanging from a wire frame, we prove a compactness theorem for surfaces with asymptotically vanishing mean curvat…

Rigidity for critical points in the Levy-Gromov inequality

Fabio Cavalletti, Francesco Maggi, Andrea Mondino

The Levy-Gromov inequality states that round spheres have the least isoperimetric profile (normalized by total volume) among Riemannian manifolds with a fixed positive lower bound…

Asymptotic expansions of the contact angle in nonlocal capillarity problems

Serena Dipierro, Francesco Maggi, Enrico Valdinoci

We consider a family of nonlocal capillarity models, where surface tension is modeled by exploiting the family of fractional interaction kernels , with and…

A bridge between Sobolev and Escobar inequalities and beyond

Francesco Maggi, Robin Neumayer

The classical Sobolev and Escobar inequalities are embedded into the same one-parameter family of sharp trace-Sobolev inequalities on half-spaces. Equality cases are characterized…

Capillarity problems with nonlocal surface tension energies

Francesco Maggi, Enrico Valdinoci

We explore the possibility of modifying the classical Gauss free energy functional used in capillarity theory by considering surface tension energies of nonlocal type. The correspo…

Isoperimetry with upper mean curvature bounds and sharp stability estimates

Brian Krummel, Francesco Maggi

It was proved by Almgren that among boundaries whose mean curvature is bounded from above, perimeter is uniquely minimized by balls. We obtain sharp stability estimates for Almgren…

Eric A. Carlen, Francesco Maggi

We provide a simple, general argument to obtain improvements of concentration-type inequalities starting from improvements of their corresponding isoperimetric-type inequalities. W…
