Families of hypersurfaces that are level-set families of harmonic functions free of critical points are characterized by a local differential-geometric condition. Harmonic functions with a specified level-set family are constructed from geometric data. As a by-product, it is shown that the evolution of the gradient of a harmonic function along the gradient flow is determined by the mean curvature of the level sets that the flow intersects.

We consider minimizing harmonic maps $u$ from $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $mathcal{N}$ and prove: (1) an extension to $n geq 4$ of Almgren and Liebs linear law. That is, if the fundamental group of the target manifold $mathcal{N}$ is finite, we have [ mathcal{H}^{n-3}(textrm{sing } u) le C int_{partial Omega} | abla_T u|^{n-1} ,d mathcal{H}^{n-1}; ] (2) an extension of Hardt and Lins stability theorem. Namely, assuming that the target manifold is $mathcal{N}=mathbb{S}^2$ we obtain that the singular set of $u$ is stable under small $W^{1,n-1}$-perturbations of the boundary data. In dimension $n=3$ both results are shown to hold with weaker hypotheses, i.e., only assuming that the trace of our map lies in the fractional space $W^{s,p}$ with $s in (frac{1}{2},1]$ and $p in [2,infty)$ satisfying $sp geq 2$. We also discuss sharpness.
We obtain several game characterizations of Baire 1 functions between Polish spaces X, Y which extends the recent result of V. Kiss. Then we propose similar characterizations for equi-Bare 1 families of functions. Also, using similar ideas, we give game characterizations of Baire measurable and Lebesgue measurable functions.
In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p-harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the 1/H (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp volume growth assumption. In the second part of this paper, we consider two parabolic analogues of the p-Laplace equation and prove sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions to these equations on manifolds of nonnegative Ricci curvature. For one of these equations, we also prove an entropy monotonicity formula generalizing an earlier such formula of the second author for the linear heat equation. As an application of this formula, we show that a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature and sharp L^p-logarithmic Sobolev inequality must be isometric to Euclidean space.
We extend the results of our recent preprint [arXiv: 1811.00515] into higher dimensions $n geq 4$. For minimizing harmonic maps $uin W^{1,2}(Omega,mathbb{S}^2)$ from $n$-dimensional domains into the two dimensional sphere we prove: (1) An extension of Almgren and Liebs linear law, namely [mathcal{H}^{n-3}(textrm{sing} u) le C int_{partial Omega} | abla_T u|^{n-1} ,dmathcal{H}^{n-1};] (2) An extension of Hardt and Lins stability theorem, namely that the size of singular set is stable under small perturbations in $W^{1,n-1}$ norm of the boundary.
The aim of this paper is to establish an abstract theory based on the so-called fractional-maximal distribution functions (FMDs). From the rough ideas introduced in~cite{AM2007}, we develop and prove some abstract results related to the level-set inequalities and norm-comparisons by using the language of such FMDs. Particularly interesting is the applicability of our approach that has been shown in regularity and Calderon-Zygmund type estimates. In this paper, due to our research experience, we will establish global regularity estimates for two types of general quasilinear problems (problems with divergence form and double obstacles), via fractional-maximal operators and FMDs. The range of applications of these abstract results is large. Apart from these two examples of the regularity theory for elliptic equations discussed, it is also promising to indicate further possible applications of our approach for other special topics.
