Sine - Laplace Equation, Sinh-Laplace Equation and Harmonic Maps.
On relatively compact domains in metric measure spaces we construct singular functions that play the role of Green functions of the p-Laplacian. We give a characterization of metric spaces that support a global version of such singular function, in terms of capacity estimates at infinity of such metric spaces. In addition, when the measure of the space is locally Q-regular, we study quasiconformal invariance property associated with the existence of global singular functions.
A new connection between geometric function theory and number theory is derived from Ramanujan’s work on modular equations. This connection involves the function recurrent in the theory of plane quasiconformal maps. Ramanujan’s modular identities yield numerous new functional identities for for various primes p.
Les processus de Schramm-Loewner (SLE) induisent des courbes aléatoires du plan complexe, qui vérifient une propriété d’invariance conforme. Ce sont des outils fondamentaux pour la compréhension du comportement asymptotique en régime critique de certains modèles discrets intervenant en physique statistique ; ils ont permis notamment d’établir rigoureusement certaines conjectures importantes dans ce domaine.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 30C10, 30C15, 31B35.A challenging conjecture of Stephen Smale on geometry of polynomials is under discussion. We consider an interpretation which turns out to be an interesting problem on equilibrium of an electrostatic field that obeys the law of the logarithmic potential. This interplay allows us to study the quantities that appear in Smale’s conjecture for polynomials whose zeros belong to certain specific regions. A conjecture concerning the electrostatic equilibrium...
We give an example of a -smooth quasiregular mapping in 3-space with nonempty branch set. Moreover, we show that the branch set of an arbitrary quasiregular mapping inn-space has Hausdorff dimension quantitatively bounded away from n. By using the second result, we establish a new, qualitatively sharp relation between smoothness and branching.
According to a theorem of Martio, Rickman and Väisälä, all nonconstant Cn/(n-2)-smooth quasiregular maps in Rn, n≥3, are local homeomorphisms. Bonk and Heinonen proved that the order of smoothness is sharp in R3. We prove that the order of smoothness is sharp in R4. For each n≥5 we construct a C1+ε(n)-smooth quasiregular map in Rn with nonempty branch set.
