There is an interesting potential theory associated to each degenerate elliptic, fully nonlinear equation $f(D^2u) = 0$. These include all the potential theories attached to calibrated geometries. This paper begins the study of tangents to the subsolutions in these theories, a topic inspired by the results of Kiselman in the classical plurisubharmonic case. Fundamental to this study is a new invariant of the equation, called the Riesz characteristic, which governs asymptotic structures. The existence of tangents to subsolutions is established in general, as is the existence of an upper semi-continuous density function. Two theorems establishing the strong uniqueness of tangents (which means every tangent is a Riesz kernel) are proved. They cover all O(n)-invariant convex cone equations and their complex and quaternionic analogues, with the exception of the homogeneous Monge-Amp`ere equations, where uniqueness fails. They also cover a large class of geometrically defined subequations which includes those coming from calibrations. A discreteness result for the sets where the density is $geq c > 0$ is also established in any case where strong uniqueness holds. A further result (which is sharp) asserts the Holder continuity of subsolutions when the Riesz characteristic p satisfies $1 leq p < 2$. Many explicit examples are examined. The second part of this paper is devoted to the geometric cases. A Homogeneity Theorem and a Second Strong Uniqueness Theorem are proved, and the tangents in the Monge-Amp`ere case are completely classified.

This part II of the paper is concerned with questions of existence and uniqueness of tangents in the special case of G-plurisubharmonic functions, where G is a compact subset of the Grassmannian of p-planes in ${mathbb R}^n$. An upper semi-continuous function u on an open set $Omega$ in ${mathbb R}^n$ is G-plurisubharmonic if its restriction to $Omegacap W$ is subharmonic for every affine G-plane $W$. Here G is assumed to be invariant under a subgroup K of O(n) which acts transitively on the sphere $S^{n-1}$. Tangents to u at a point x are the cluster points of u under a natural flow (or blow-up) at x. They always exist and are G-harmonic at all points of continuity. A homogeneity property is established for all tangents in these geometric cases. This leads to principal results concerning the Strong Uniqueness of Tangents, which means that all tangents are unique and of the form $Theta K_p$ where $K_p$ is the Riesz kernel and $Theta$ is the density of u at the point. Strong uniqueness is a form of regularity which implies that the sets ${Theta(u,x)geq c}$ for $c>0$ are discrete. When the invariance group K= O(n), U(n) or Sp(n), strong uniqueness holds for all but a small handful of cases. It also holds for essentially all interesting G which arise in calibrated geometry. When strong uniqueness fails, homogeneity implies that tangents are characterized by a subequation on the sphere, which is worked out in detail. In the cases corresponding to the real, complex and quaternionic Monge-Amp`ere equations (convex functions, and complex and quaternionic plurisubharmonic functions) tangents, which are far from unique, are then systematically studied and classified.

This work focuses on dynamics arising from reaction-diffusion equations , where the profile of propagation is no longer characterized by a single front, but by a layer of several fronts which we call a propagating terrace. This means, intuitively, th at transition from one equilibrium to another may occur in several steps, that is, successive phases between some intermediate stationary states. We establish a number of properties on such propagating terraces in a one-dimensional periodic environment, under very wide and generic conditions. We are especially concerned with their existence, uniqueness, and their spatial structure. Our goal is to provide insight into the intricate dynamics arising from multistable non-linearities.

The dual $L_p$-Minkowski problem with $p<0<q$ is investigated in this paper. By proving a new existence result of solutions and constructing an example, we obtain the non-uniqueness of solutions to this problem.
An existence and uniqueness result, up to fattening, for crystalline mean curvature flows with forcing and arbitrary (convex) mobilities, is proven. This is achieved by introducing a new notion of solution to the corresponding level set formulation. Such a solution satisfies the comparison principle and a stability property with respect to the approximation by suitably regularized problems. The results are valid in any dimension and for arbitrary, possibly unbounded, initial closed sets. The approach accounts for the possible presence of a time-dependent bounded forcing term, with spatial Lipschitz continuity. As a by-product of the analysis, the problem of the convergence of the Almgren-Taylor-Wang minimizing movements scheme to a unique (up to fattening) flat flow in the case of general, possibly crystalline, anisotropies is settled.
It is shown that every knot or link is the set of complex tangents of a 3-sphere smoothly embedded in the three-dimensional complex space. We show in fact that a one-dimensional submanifold of a closed orientable 3-manifold can be realised as the set of complex tangents of a smooth embedding of the 3-manifold into the three-dimensional complex space if and only if it represents the trivial integral homology class in the 3-manifold. The proof involves a new application of singularity theory of differentiable maps.
