We are concerned with the relaxation and existence theories of a general class of geometrical minimisation problems, with action integrals defined via differential forms over fibre bundles. We find natural algebraic and analytic conditions which give rise to a relaxation theory. Moreover, we propose the notion of ``Riemannian quasiconvexity for cost functions whose variables are differential forms on Riemannian manifolds, which extends the classical quasiconvexity condition in the Euclidean settings. The existence of minimisers under the Riemannian quasiconvexity condition has been established. This work may serve as a tentative generalisation of the framework developed in the recent paper: B. Dacorogna and W. Gangbo, Quasiconvexity and relaxation in optimal transportation of closed differential forms, textit{Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.} (2019), to appear.

We consider problems of static equilibrium in which the primary unknown is the stress field and the solutions maximize a complementary energy subject to equilibrium constraints. A necessary and sufficient condition for the sequential lower-semicontin
This paper is devoted to variational problems on the set of probability measures which involve optimal transport between unequal dimensional spaces. In particular, we study the minimization of a functional consisting of the sum of a term reflecting t
We show that each constant rank operator $mathcal{A}$ admits an exact potential $mathbb{B}$ in frequency space. We use this fact to show that the notion of $mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity can be tested against compactly supported fields. We also show tha
Let $(mathcal{M},g_0)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold-with-boundary. We present a new proof of the classical Gaffneys inequality for differential forms in boundary value spaces over $mathcal{M}$, via the variational approach `{a} la Kozono--Yanagis
We establish necessary conditions for the existence of solutions to a class of semilinear hyperbolic problems on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, extending some nonexistence results for the wave operator with power nonlinearity on the whole
