Convex Hypersurfaces with Prescribed Curvature and Boundary in Riemannian Manifolds

In this article a priori estimates at the boundary for the second fundamental form of n-dimensional convex hypersurfaces M with prescribed curvature quotient Sn (M)/Sl (M) in Riemannian manifolds are derived. A consequence of these estimates and other known results is an existence theorem for such hypersurfaces, which is a generalization of a recent result of Ivochkina and Tomi to the Riemannian case.     

Compact Homogeneous Hypersurfaces in Hyperbolic Space

In this paper we prove that an n-dimensional compact homogeneous Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed in the hyperbolic space Hⁿ⁺¹ is isometric to a sphere.AMS Subject Classification (1990): 53A07, 53C42, 57S15     

Functional Integrals for the Schrodinger Equation on Compact Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we represent the solution of the Cauchy problem for the Schrodinger equation on compact Riemannian manifolds in terms of functional integrals with respect to the Wiener measure corresponding to the Brownian motion in a manifold and with respect to the Smolyanov surface measures constructed from the Wiener measure on trajectories in the underlying space. The representation of the solution is obtained for the case of analytic (on some sets) potential and analytic initial condition under certain assumptions on the geometric characteristics of the manifold. In the proof, we use a method due to Doss and the representations via functional integrals of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the heat equation in a compact Riemannian manifold.     

Compact Ovoids in Quadrangles III: Clifford Algebras and Isoparametric Hypersurfaces

In this third part, we consider those compact quadrangles which arise from isoparametric hypersurfaces of Clifford type and their focal manifolds. Sections 9–11 give a comprehensive introduction to these quadrangles from the incidence-geometric point of view. Section 10 contains also a new (algebraic) proof that these geometries are quadrangles.We determine which of these quadrangles have ovoids or spreads and also whether the normal sphere bundles of the focal manifolds admit sections, or whether they are topologically trivial. We give explicit geometric constructions for spreads, ovoids, and sections.     

Minkowski空间中带超平面边界的紧致类空超曲面

In this paper, we study the relations between a compact spacelike hypersurface with hy-perplanar boundary in the (n 1)- dimensional Minkowski space-time L^n 1 being totally umbilicaland its hyperplanar boundary in a fixed hyperplane π of L^(n 1) being totally umbilical under certainconditions. We give the sufficient conditions for such hypersurface and its hyperplanar boundary tobe totally umbilical in their respective ambients.     

On the Ricci Curvature of Compact Spacelike Hypersurfaces in de Sitter Space

In this paper we establish a sufficient condition for a compact spacelike hypersurface in de Sitter space to be spherical in terms of a pinching condition for the Ricci curvature. Our result will be a consequence of an integral formula involving the Ricci curvature and the scalar curvature of the hypersurface. We also derive some other consequences and applications of this formula.     

Moser-Trudinger Inequality on Compact Riemannian Manifolds of Dimension Two

ln this paper, we prove Moser-Trüdinger inequality in any two dimensional manifolds. Let (M,g_M,) be a two dimensional manifold without boundary and (g, g_N) with boundary, we shall prove the following three inequalities: u∈H¹(M), \sup\limits_{and ||u||_{H¹(M)}}=1∫_M^{e^{4\pi u²}<+∞} u∈H¹(M), \sup\limits_{∫_M u=0, and} ∫_M|∇u|²=1∫_M^{e^{4\pi u²}<+∞} u∈H¹_0(N), \sup\limits_{and ∫_M|∇u²|=1∫_M^{e^{4\pi u²}<+∞} Moreover, we shall show that there exist of extremal functions which at tain the above three inequalities.     

Null screen quasi-conformal hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian manifolds and applications

We introduce a class of null hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian manifold, namely, screen quasi-conformal hypersurfaces, whose geometry may be studied through the geometry of its screen distribution. In particular, this notion allows us to extend some results of previous works to the case in which the sectional curvature of the ambient space is different from zero. As applications, we study umbilical, isoparametric and Einstein null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space forms and provide several classification results.     

黎曼流形中紧子集的两种灵魂*

文章主要研究了黎曼流形中紧子集的λ-凸包的灵魂和紧子集的外蕴灵魂.作者首先列出了紧子集的外蕴灵魂唯一的一些充分条件(比如当流形为Hadamard流形时);接着证明了, 对于Hadamard流形中给定的紧子集来说, 这两种灵魂是重合的, 并探究了在一般流形中这两种灵魂之间的距离;最后给出了黎曼流形中的一个子流形为全测地的由这两种灵魂所确定的充分必要条件. 由于外蕴灵魂的定义仅涉及距离,所以本文的研究内容和思路容易推广到较黎曼流形更为一般的距离空间上, 比如说Alexandrov空间.

Collapsing and Dirac-Type Operators

We analyze the limit of the spectrum of a geometric Dirac-type operator under a collapse with bounded diameter and bounded sectional curvature. In the case of a smooth limit space B, we show that the limit of the spectrum is given by the spectrum of a certain first-order differential operator on B, which can be constructed using superconnections. In the case of a general limit space X, we express the limit operator in terms of a transversally elliptic operator on a G-manifold X/ with X = X//G. As an application, we give a characterization of manifolds which do not admit uniform upper bounds, in terms of diameter and sectional curvature, on the k-th eigenvalue of the square of a Dirac-type operator. We also give a formula for the essential spectrum of a Dirac-type operator on a finite-volume manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature.     

Discretization of Compact Riemannian Manifolds Applied to the Spectrum of Laplacian

For κ ⩾ 0 and r₀ > 0 let ℳ(n, κ, r₀) be the set of all connected, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (Mⁿ, g) with Ricci (M, g) ⩾ −(n−1) κ g and Inj (M) ⩾ r₀. We study the relation between the kth eigenvalue λ_k(M) of the Laplacian associated to (Mⁿ,g), Δ = −div(grad), and the kth eigenvalue λ_k(X) of a combinatorial Laplacian associated to a discretization X of M. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 (depending only on n, κ and r₀) such that for all M ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r₀) and X a discretization of for all k < |X|. Then, we obtain the same kind of result for two compact manifolds M and N ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r₀) such that the Gromov–Hausdorff distance between M and N is smaller than some η > 0. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 depending on η, n, κ and r₀ such that for all .

Scalar Curvature, Killing Vector Fields and Harmonic One-Forms on Compact Riemannian Manifolds

It is well known that no non-trivial Killing vector field existson a compact Riemannian manifold of negative Ricci curvature;analogously, no non-trivial harmonic one-form exists on a compactmanifold of positive Ricci curvature. One can consider the following,more general, problem. By reducing the assumption on the Riccicurvature to one on the scalar curvature, such vanishing theoremscannot hold in general. This raises the question: "What informationcan we obtain from the existence of non-trivial Killing vectorfields (or, respectively, harmonic one-forms)?" This paper givesanswers to this problem; the results obtained are optimal. 2000Mathematics Subject Classification 53C20 (primary), 53C24 (secondary).

Algebraicity of Global Real Analytic Hypersurfaces

Let X be an algebraic manifold without compact component and let V be a compact coherent analytic hypersurface in X, with finite singular set. We prove that V is diffeotopic (in X) to an algebraic hypersurface in X if and only if the homology class represented by V is algebraic and singularities are locally analytically equivalent to Nash singularities. This allows us to construct algebraic hypersurfaces in X with prescribed Nash singularities.
