c. de filippis, g. mingione: nonuniformly elliptic schauder theory -- inventiones mathematicae 234 (2023) 1109-1196 [solves two longstanding open problems. first, schauder type estimates for solutions to nonuniformly elliptic equations are proved; since the 60s dependence on coefficients was never allowed to be hölder continuous to get gradient hölder continuity. second, hölder gradient continuity of minima of non-differentiable, nonuniformly elliptic variational integrals is proved; in this case only the uniformly elliptic result was available, being a classical result of giaquinta & giusti, and of manfredi for the degenerate case, dating back to the 80s. based on a novel approach that allows for the first time to get gradient bounds directly, bypassing the standard perturbation arguments of the classical uniformly elliptic theory, linear and/or nonlinear. the results of the paper are the main ones appearing in cristiana de filippis' 2024 ems prize citation] [a review]

m. colombo, g. mingione: regularity for double phase variational problems -- archive for rational mechanics and analysis 215 (2015) 443-496 [optimal regularity theory of a class of variational integrals, that we called double phase functionals and that were first considered by zhikov in the context of homogenization and lavrentiev phenomenon; first regularity results were given with esposito and leonetti, jde 2004 where the sharp bound on the ellipticity ratio was discovered. more general cases were considered with baroni in calc var 2018. this and the other arma 2015 paper opened a wide lane of research and developments. the results of this paper are part of the maria colombo's 2024 stampacchia medal citation] [>450 citations on scopus]
g. mingione: gradient potential estimates -- journal of the european mathematical society 13 (2011) 459-486 [solves in the non-degenerate case the longstanding open problem, dating back to the work of kilpeläinen & malý, of proving gradient potential estimates for solutions to nonlinear equations in divergence form; the degenerate case is covered in later papers with duzaar, jfa 2010, ajm 2011 and kuusi, arma 2013, jfa 2012. parabolic cases were later treated with kuusi, jems 2014, ann sns pisa 2013, arma 2014. these papers opened a wide lane of research and developments] [>150 citations on scopus] [a review] [a review] [a review] [a review] [a review] [a review]

e. acerbi, g. mingione: gradient estimates for a class of parabolic systems -- duke mathematical journal 136 (2007) 285-320 [solves the longstanding open problem of proving calderón-zygmund estimates for solutions to nonlinear, potentially degenerate parabolic equations and systems; the elliptic analog was previously achieved between '83 and '94 by t. iwaniec, dibenedetto & manfredi and caffarelli & peral and the techniques of these papers do not extend to parabolic problems. the harmonic analysis free techniques introduced in this paper eventually became of standard use in the literature. when applied to the basic, linear elliptic case, the methods introduced here allow for a total elementary proof of calderòn-zygmund estimates which is only based on mean value formulas for harmonic functions and vitali covering] [>350 citations on scopus] [a review]
f. duzaar, j. kristensen, g. mingione: the existence of regular boundary points for non-linear elliptic systems -- journal für die reine und angewandte mathematik (crelles journal) 602 (2007) 17-58 [solves the longstanding open problem, dating back to the beginning of the 80s, of proving partial boundary regularity of solutions to general elliptic systems, i.e., that a.e. boundary point is regular when boundary data are smooth. see page 247 in giaquinta, ann. math. studies 105, princeton univ. press, 1983. prior to this paper, even the existence of one boundary regular point was unknown. the case of functionals is treated in arma 2010]
