This group existed from 2013 to 2016. It was led by Enrico Valdinoci.
The inverstigations of the group were dedicated to the analysis of interfaces of layers that arise, for instance, in phase transitions and surface phenomena. The focus was on the geometry, structure and regularity of the interfaces.
From the mathematical viewpoint, elliptic variational problems were addressed, in particular, problems involving fractional Laplace operators.
