A bosonic Laplacian is a conformally invariant second order differential operator acting on smooth functions defined on domains in Euclidean space and taking values in higher order irreducible representations of the special orthogonal group. In this paper, we study boundary value problems involving bosonic Laplacians in the upper-half space and the unit ball. Poisson kernels in the upper-half space and the unit ball are constructed, which give us solutions to the Dirichlet problems with $L^p$ boundary data, $1 leq p leq infty$. We also prove the uniqueness for solutions to the Dirichlet problems with continuous data for bosonic Laplacians and provide analogs of some properties of harmonic functions for null solutions of bosonic Laplacians, for instance, Cauchys estimates, the mean-value property, Liouvilles Theorem, etc.
In this paper we establish a connection between free boundary minimal surfaces in a ball in $mathbb{R}^3$ and free boundary cones arising in a one-phase problem. We prove that a doubly connected minimal surface with free boundary in a ball is a catenoid.
We study boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic equations and systems with square integrable boundary data. We can allow for degeneracies in the form of an $A_{2}$ weight. We obtain representations and boundary traces for solutions in appropriate classes, perturbation results for solvability and solvability in some situations. The technology of earlier works of the first two authors can be adapted to the weighted setting once the needed quadratic estimate is established and we even improve some results in the unweighted setting. The proof of this quadratic estimate does not follow from earlier results on the topic and is the core of the article.
We study boundary value problems posed in a semistrip for the elliptic sine-Gordon equation, which is the paradigm of an elliptic integrable PDE in two variables. We use the method introduced by one of the authors, which provides a substantial generalization of the inverse scattering transform and can be used for the analysis of boundary as opposed to initial-value problems. We first express the solution in terms of a $2times 2$ matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem formulated in terms of both the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary values on the boundary of a semistrip. We then concentrate on the case that the prescribed boundary conditions are zero along the unbounded sides of the semistrip and constant along the bounded side; in this particular case we show that the jump matrices of the above Riemann-Hilbert problem can be expressed explicitly in terms of the width of the semistrip and the constant value of the solution along the bounded side. This Riemann-Hilbert problem has a unique solution.
In this work we continue our research on nonharmonic analysis of boundary value problems as initiated in our recent paper (IMRN 2016). There, we assumed that the eigenfunctions of the model operator on which the construction is based do not have zeros. In this paper we have weakened this condition extending the applicability of the developed pseudo-differential analysis. Also, we do not assume that the underlying set is bounded.
We introduce quantum hypergraphs, in analogy with the theory of quantum graphs developed over the last 15 years by many authors. We emphasize some problems that arise when one tries to define a Laplacian on a hypergraph.
