Helmholtz decomposition vs Laplacian vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^3$?
I am quite confused between Helmholtz decomposition and Laplacian vector fields in the periodic case.
Let $\mathbb{T}^3$ be the $3$-dimensional torus. Then, I thought any divergence-free smooth vector ...

Are square configurations the only critical points of the energy on the circle?
$\newcommand{\S}{\mathbb{S}^1}$
$\newcommand{\la}{\lambda}$Let$$M=\{(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) \in (\S)^4\,\, |\,\, \text{ all the } x_i \, \text{ are distinct}\} $$
Define $E:M \to \mathbb{R}$ by
$$E(x_1,x_2,...

A Curved/Warped Version of Fubini's Theorem
I will think of $ \mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ as $\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^m$.
Let $ V \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ be open and $g:V \to U \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+m} $ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism. For a fixed ...
