Symmetry properties of crystals and new bounds from below on the temperature in compressible fluid dynamics

In this thesis we collect the study of two problems in the Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations. Our first group of results concern the analysis of minimizers in a variational model describing the shape of liquid drops and crystals under the influence of gravity, resting on a h...
