Title: Minimal Ws,ns$W^{s,\frac{n}{s}}$‐harmonic maps in homotopy classes
Abstract Let a closed ‐dimensional manifold, be a closed manifold, and let for . We extend the monumental work of Sacks and Uhlenbeck by proving that if , then there exists a minimizing ‐harmonic map homotopic to . If , then we prove that there exists a ‐harmonic map from to in a generating set of . Since several techniques, especially Pohozaev‐type arguments, are unknown in the fractional framework (in particular, when , one cannot argue via an extension method), we develop crucial new tools that are interesting on their own: such as a removability result for point singularities and a balanced energy estimate for nonscaling invariant energies. Moreover, we prove the regularity theory for minimizing ‐maps into manifolds.  more » « less

  1. Abstract Let $$M$$ be a closed, odd GKM$$_3$$ manifold of non-negative sectional curvature. We show that in this situation one can associate an ordinary abstract GKM$$_3$$ graph to $$M$$ and prove that if this graph is orientable, then both the equivariant and the ordinary rational cohomology of $$M$$ split off the cohomology of an odd-dimensional sphere.

  2. Abstract Let $$\alpha \colon X \to Y$$ be a general degree $$r$$ primitive map of nonsingular, irreducible, projective curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero or larger than $$r$$. We prove that the Tschirnhausen bundle of $$\alpha $$ is semistable if $$g(Y) \geq 1$$ and stable if $$g(Y) \geq 2$$.

  3. On any closed Riemannian manifold of dimension , we prove that if a function nearly minimizes the Yamabe energy, then the corresponding conformal metric is close, in a quantitative sense, to a minimizing Yamabe metric in the conformal class. Generically, this distance is controlled quadratically by the Yamabe energy deficit. Finally, we produce an example for which this quadratic estimate is false.

  4. Let K be a complete discrete valuation field with finite residue field of characteristic p, and let D be a central division algebra over K of finite index d. Thirty years ago, Suslin and Yufryakov showed that for all prime numbers ℓ different from p and integers j≥1 , there exists a "reduced norm" isomorphism of ℓ-adic K-groups Nrd_{D/K}:K_j(D,Z_ℓ)→K_j(K,Z_ℓ) such that d⋅Nrd_{D/K} is equal to the norm homomorphism N_{D/K}. The purpose of this paper is to prove the analogous result for the p-adic K-groups. To do so, we employ the cyclotomic trace map to topological cyclic homology and show that there exists a "reduced trace" equivalence Trd_{A/S}:THH(A|D,Z_p)→THH(S|K,Z_p) between two p-complete cyclotomic spectra associated with D and K, respectively. Interestingly, we show that if p divides d, then it is not possible to choose said equivalence such that, as maps of cyclotomic spectra, d⋅Trd_{A/S} agrees with the trace Tr_{A/S}, although this is possible as maps of spectra with T-action

  5. Let $$G$$ be an anisotropic semisimple group over a totally real number field $$F$$ . Suppose that $$G$$ is compact at all but one infinite place $$v_{0}$$ . In addition, suppose that $$G_{v_{0}}$$ is $$\mathbb{R}$$ -almost simple, not split, and has a Cartan involution defined over $$F$$ . If $$Y$$ is a congruence arithmetic manifold of non-positive curvature associated with $$G$$ , we prove that there exists a sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions on $$Y$$ whose sup norms grow like a power of the eigenvalue.
