Boundary regularity for conformally invariant variational problems with Neumann data
We study boundary regularity of maps from two-dimensional domains into manifolds which are critical with respect to a generic conformally invariant variational functional and which, at the boundary, enter perpendicularly into a support manifold. For example, harmonic maps, or $H$-surfaces, with a partially free boundary condition. In the interior it is known, by the celebrated work of Riviere, that these maps satisfy a system with an antisymmetric potential, from which one can derive regularity of the solution. We show that these maps satisfy along the boundary a system with a nonlocal antisymmetric boundary potential which contains information from the interior potential and the geometric Neumann boundary condition. We then proceed to show boundary regularity for solutions to such systems.
The Moyal *-deformed noncommutative version of Burgers' equation is considered. Using the *-analog of the Cole-Hopf transformation, the linearization of the model in terms of the linear heat equation is found. Noncommutative q-deformations of shock soliton solutions and their interaction are described
