  • Arxiv:0707.3327V1 [Math.AP] 23 Jul 2007 Some Connections Between
    Some connections between results and problems of De Giorgi, Moser and Bangert Hannes Junginger-Gestrich & Enrico Valdinoci∗ October 31, 2018 Abstract Using theorems of Bangert, we prove a rigidity result which shows how a question raised by Bangert for elliptic integrands of Moser type is connected, in the case of minimal solutions without self-intersections, to a famous conjecture of De Giorgi for phase transitions. 1 Introduction The purpose of this note is to relate some probelms posed by Moser [Mos86], Bangert [Ban89] and De Giorgi [DG79]. In particular, we point out that a rigidity result in a question raised by Bangert for the case of minimal solutions of elliptic integrands would imply a one-dimensional symmetry for minimal phase transitions connected to a famous conjecture of De Giorgi. Though the proofs we present here are mainly a straightening of the existing literature, we hope that our approach may clarify some points in these important problems and provide useful connections. 1.1 The De Giorgi setting arXiv:0707.3327v1 [math.AP] 23 Jul 2007 A classical phase transition model (known in the literature under the names of Allen, Cahn, Ginzburg, Landau, van der Vaals, etc.) consists in the study ∗Addresses: HJG, Mathematisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universit¨at Freiburg, Abteilung f¨ur Reine Mathematik, Eckerstraße 1, 79104 Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), [email protected], EV, Dipartimento di Matemati- ca, Universit`adi Roma Tor Vergata, Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, 00133 Roma (Italy), [email protected].

  • Sets with Finite Perimeter in Wiener Spaces, Perimeter Measure and Boundary Rectifiability
    DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS doi:10.3934/dcds.2010.28.591 DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS Volume 28, Number 2, October 2010 pp. 591–606 SETS WITH FINITE PERIMETER IN WIENER SPACES, PERIMETER MEASURE AND BOUNDARY RECTIFIABILITY Luigi Ambrosio Scuola Normale Superiore p.za dei Cavalieri 7 Pisa, I-56126, Italy Michele Miranda jr. Dipartimento di Matematica, Universit`adi Ferrara via Machiavelli 35 Ferrara, I-44121, Italy Diego Pallara Dipartimento di Matematica “Ennio De Giorgi”, Universit`a del Salento C.P. 193 Lecce, I-73100, Italy Abstract. We discuss some recent developments of the theory of BV func- tions and sets of finite perimeter in infinite-dimensional Gaussian spaces. In this context the concepts of Hausdorff measure, approximate continuity, recti- fiability have to be properly understood. After recalling the known facts, we prove a Sobolev-rectifiability result and we list some open problems. 1. Introduction. This paper is devoted to the theory of sets of finite perimeter in infinite-dimensional Gaussian spaces. We illustrate some recent results, we provide some new ones and eventually we discuss some open problems. We start first with a discussion of the finite-dimensional theory, referring to [13] and [3] for much more on this subject. Recall that a Borel set E Rm is said to be of ⊂ finite perimeter if there exists a vector valued measure DχE = (D1χE,...,DmχE) with finite total variation in Rm satisfying the integration by parts formula: ∂φ 1 m dx = φ dDiχE i =1,...,m, φ Cc (R ). (1) ∂x − Rm ∀ ∀ ∈ ZE i Z De Giorgi proved in [10] (see also [11]) a deep result on the structure of DχE , which could be considered as the starting point of modern Geometric Measure Theory.

A new proof of the uniqueness of the flow for ordinary differential equations with BV vector fields ∗ Maxime Hauray † April 3, 2009 Abstract We provide in this article a new proof of the uniqueness of the flow solution to ordinary differential equations with BV vector-fields that have divergence in L∞ (or in L1) and that are nearly incompressible (see the text for the definition of this term). The novelty of the proof lies in the fact it does not use the associated transport equation. 1 Introduction and statement of our main result In 1989, P.-L. Lions and R. DiPerna showed in [DL89] the existence and the uniqueness of the almost everywhere defined flow solution to an ordinary differential equation of the type: y˙(t) = b(t,y(t)) , (1) 1,1 1 R ∞ for W vector fields b with Lloc( t, Ly ) divergence (along with some technical assumptions).
