Strictly contracting solutions to the Eikonal equation on Riemannian manifolds
Given a Riemannian manifold $M$, we say $f: M \to \mathbb R$ is a strict contraction if $|f(x) - f(y)| < |x - y|$ for all distinct $x, y \in M$.
Question: Does there exist, on every complete ...

On the existence of a complicated fractal-like set of finite perimeter
Let $f\in BV(\Bbb R^n)$ be an integer-valued function that maps into $\{0, 1\}$ and is identically $0$ outside some bounded set in $\Bbb R^n$. In particular, $f$ determines a bounded Caccioppoli set $...

Lipschitz property of the symmetric rearrangement
I'm currently reading Talenti's paper "Best constant in Sobolev inequality" and am rather stuck on an argument on pg 363 (or pg 11 if you're reading the pdf). In this section of the paper, ...

Prove $\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx dist(x,\partial \Omega)^{-s}$, $s \in (0,2)$
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$ and $s \in (0,2)$. Under what assumptions on $\partial \Omega$ do we have
$$\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx \mathrm{dist}(x,\partial \...

Estimating the size of $\Omega_r=\{x\in\Omega: \text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)<r \}$
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\Bbb R^n$. Define
$$
\Omega_r=\{x\in\Omega: \text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)<r \},
$$
i.e. it the ring of thickness $r$ at the boundary of $\Omega$. Intuitively, ...

Measure of the boundary of an BV-extension domain: do we have $|\nabla Eu|(\partial \Omega)=0?$
Let $\Omega\subset \Bbb R^d$ be open. The space $BV(\Omega)$ consists in functions $u\in L^1(\Omega)$ with bounded variation, i.e. $|u|_{BV(\Omega) }<\infty$ where
\begin{align}\label{eq:bounded-...

Decomposition of the space of Radon measures with respect fractional harmonic capacity?
It is well know that there is a generalization of Lebesgue decomposition theorem in the following way:
Any non negative Radon measure can be decomposed uniquely into the sum of an absolutely ...

Can we perturb the Dirichlet boundary conditions to make harmonic maps locally invertible?
While analyzing a variational problem, I came to the following question:
Let $\mathbb D^n \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be the closed $n$-dimensional unit ball, and let $f: \mathbb D^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ ...

Alberti rank-one theorem and reduction of the study of BV function to the two-dimensional case
By Alberti rank-one theorem, could it be possible to reduce the study of a function $u \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N, \mathbb{R}^N)$ to the study of a function $\tilde{u} \in BV(\mathbb{R}^2, \mathbb{R}^2)$? At ...

Meaning of Alberti rank-one theorem
Heuristically what does Alberti's rank-one theorem imply about the structure of a $\mathrm{BV}$ vector field $\boldsymbol{b}$?
Is it rigorously fair to say that the level lines of $\boldsymbol{b}$ ...

Is a function $u\in \mathrm{SBV}(\Omega)$ with these additional properties essentially bounded?
Some related earlier discussion can be found here.
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$ be open bounded with smooth boundary, $\mathcal H^{N-1}(\partial\Omega)<\infty$ and $u\in SBV(\Omega)$. Then
$$

"Schwarz symmetrization" on annulus
If $\Omega=\{x\in \mathbb R^n| 0<r_0<|x|<r_1\}$ is an annulus on $\mathbb R^n$, I am looking for a symmetrization result on $\Omega$. To be precise, for any $u \in W_0^{1,2}(\Omega)$, can we ...
