Social and Political Dimensions of Identity
We study the interior regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem Lu = g in Omega, u = 0 in R-nOmega, for anisotropic operators of fractional type Lu(x) = integral(+infinity)(0) dp integral(Sn-1) da(w) 2u(x) - u(x + rho w) - u(x - rho w)/rho(1+2s). Here, a is any measure on Sn-1 (a prototype example for L is given by the sum of one-dimensional fractional Laplacians in fixed, given directions). When a is an element of C-infinity(Sn-1) and g is c(infinity)(Omega), solutions are known to be C-infinity inside Omega (but not up to the boundary). However, when a is a general measure, or even when a is L-infinity(s(n-1)), solutions are only known to be C-3s inside Omega. We prove here that, for general measures a, solutions are C1+3s-epsilon inside Omega for all epsilon > 0 whenever Omega is convex. When a is an element of L-infinity(Sn-1), we show that the same holds in all C-1,C-1 domains. In particular, solutions always possess a classical first derivative. The assumptions on the domain are sharp, since if the domain is not convex and the measure a is singular, we construct an explicit counterexample for which u is not C3s+epsilon for any epsilon > 0 - even if g and Omega are C-infinity
VIENA2: A Driving Anticipation Dataset
Action anticipation is critical in scenarios where one needs to react before
the action is finalized. This is, for instance, the case in automated driving,
where a car needs to, e.g., avoid hitting pedestrians and respect traffic
lights. While solutions have been proposed to tackle subsets of the driving
anticipation tasks, by making use of diverse, task-specific sensors, there is
no single dataset or framework that addresses them all in a consistent manner.
In this paper, we therefore introduce a new, large-scale dataset, called
VIENA2, covering 5 generic driving scenarios, with a total of 25 distinct
action classes. It contains more than 15K full HD, 5s long videos acquired in
various driving conditions, weathers, daytimes and environments, complemented
with a common and realistic set of sensor measurements. This amounts to more
than 2.25M frames, each annotated with an action label, corresponding to 600
samples per action class. We discuss our data acquisition strategy and the
statistics of our dataset, and benchmark state-of-the-art action anticipation
techniques, including a new multi-modal LSTM architecture with an effective
loss function for action anticipation in driving scenarios.Comment: Accepted in ACCV 201
Blow-up behaviour of a fractional Adams-Moser-Trudinger type inequality in odd dimension
Given a smoothly bounded domain with
odd, we study the blow-up of bounded sequences of solutions to the non-local equation
where , and denotes the Lions-Magenes spaces of functions which are supported in and with

Druet, Robert-Struwe and the second author, we show that if the sequence
is not bounded in , a suitably rescaled subsequence
converges to the function
, which solves the prescribed
non-local -curvature equation recently studied by Da
Lio-Martinazzi-Rivi\`ere when , Jin-Maalaoui-Martinazzi-Xiong when ,
and Hyder when is odd. We infer that blow-up can occur only if
Fractional-order operators: Boundary problems, heat equations
The first half of this work gives a survey of the fractional Laplacian (and
related operators), its restricted Dirichlet realization on a bounded domain,
and its nonhomogeneous local boundary conditions, as treated by
pseudodifferential methods. The second half takes up the associated heat
equation with homogeneous Dirichlet condition. Here we recall recently shown
sharp results on interior regularity and on -estimates up to the boundary,
as well as recent H\"older estimates. This is supplied with new higher
regularity estimates in -spaces using a technique of Lions and Magenes,
and higher -regularity estimates (with arbitrarily high H\"older estimates
in the time-parameter) based on a general result of Amann. Moreover, it is
shown that an improvement to spatial -regularity at the boundary is
not in general possible.Comment: 29 pages, updated version, to appear in a Springer Proceedings in

H^s versus C^0-weighted minimizers
We study a class of semi-linear problems involving the fractional Laplacian
under subcritical or critical growth assumptions. We prove that, for the
corresponding functional, local minimizers with respect to a C^0-topology
weighted with a suitable power of the distance from the boundary are actually
local minimizers in the natural H^s-topology.Comment: 15 page
Local regularity for fractional heat equations
We prove the maximal local regularity of weak solutions to the parabolic
problem associated with the fractional Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet
boundary conditions on an arbitrary bounded open set
. Proofs combine classical abstract regularity
results for parabolic equations with some new local regularity results for the
associated elliptic problems.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1704.0756
-minimal surface and manifold with positive -Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature
In this paper, we first prove a compactness theorem for the space of closed
embedded -minimal surfaces of fixed topology in a closed three-manifold with
positive Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature. Then we give a Lichnerowicz type
lower bound of the first eigenvalue of the -Laplacian on compact manifold
with positive -Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature, and prove that the lower
bound is achieved only if the manifold is isometric to the -shpere, or the
-dimensional hemisphere. Finally, for compact manifold with positive
-Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature and -mean convex boundary, we prove an
upper bound for the distance function to the boundary, and the upper bound is
achieved if only if the manifold is isometric to an Euclidean ball.Comment: 15 page
