Normalized Ricci flow on nonparabolic surfaces

This paper studies the normalized Ricci flow on a nonparabolic surface, whose scalar curvature is asymptotically –1 in an integral sense. By a method initiated by R. Hamilton, the flow is shown to converge to a metric of constant scalar curvature –1. A relative estimate of Green’s function is proved as a tool.      

Sharp remainder estimates in the Weyl formula for the Neumann Laplacian on a class of planar regions

We obtain estimates for the counting function of the Neumann Laplacian on a planar domain bounded by the graph of a lower semicontinuous L₁-function. These estimates imply necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the classical one-term Weyl formula for the counting function and, under certain restrictions, give an order sharp remainder estimate in this formula.     

Displacement interpolations from a Hamiltonian point of view

One of the most well-known results in the theory of optimal transportation is the equivalence between the convexity of the entropy functional with respect to the Riemannian Wasserstein metric and the Ricci curvature lower bound of the underlying Riemannian manifold. There are also generalizations of this result to the Finsler manifolds and manifolds with a Ricci flow background. In this paper, we study displacement interpolations from the point of view of Hamiltonian systems and give a unifying approach to the above mentioned results.

Gradient Flow of the Lβ-Functional

In this paper,we start to study the gradient flow of the functional L_β introduced by Han-Li-Sun in[8].As a first step,we show that if the initial surface is symplectic in a K?hler surface,then the symplectic property is preserved along the gradient flow.Then we show that the singularity of the flow is characterized by the maximal norm of the second fundamental form.When β=1,we derive a monotonicity formula for the flow.As applications,we show that the l-tangent cone of the flow consists of the finite flat planes.     

A simple proof on the non-existence of shrinking breathers for the Ricci flow

Suppose M is a compact n-dimensional manifold, n≥ 2, with a metric g _ij (x, t) that evolves by the Ricci flow ∂ _t g _ij = −2R _ij in M× (0, T). We will give a simple proof of a recent result of Perelman on the non-existence of shrinking breather without using the logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

The Calculus of Moving Surfaces and Laplace Eigenvalues on an Ellipse with Low Eccentricity

Our goal is to demonstrate the utility of the calculus of moving surfaces (CMS) in boundary variation problems. We discuss the relative advantages of the CMS compared to the alternative approach of interior variations. We illustrate the technique by calculating the two leading terms of a power series for the Laplace eigenvalues on an ellipse with semi-axes 1 + a and 1 + b, where a and b are small. We compare the CMS estimates with those obtained by the conventional finite element method with Richardson extrapolation. The comparison confirms the cubic rate of convergence for the CMS estimates.     

Analytic eigendistributions and applications to homogeneous trees

An analytic distribution on is an element, ν, of the dual of the space of analytic functions on K. In particular, ν defines a linear functional on the polynomial ring . In this work, we study the converse problem: given a linear functional on , try to find a minimal set K such that ν extends to an analytic distribution on K. This study was motivated by the desire to generalize a result that allows the representation of functions on a homogeneous tree as integrals of z-harmonic functions oven a certain interval. A function f on a homogeneous tree T of degree q+1 is said to be z-harmonic, if μ₁f=zf, where μ₁ is the nearest neighbor averaging operator. It was proved in [Cohen, Colonna, Adv. Appl. Math. 20 (1998) 253–274] that if |f(v)|MC^|v| for constants M>0 and , then there exist z-harmonic functions k_z such that where I is the interval with endpoints . In the present paper, we study the case when the above exponential growth condition holds with , which necessitates replacing k_z(v) dz with an analytic distribution ν_v satisfying the z-harmonicity condition μ₁ν=zν. We show that to each function on the tree satisfying the above exponential growth condition there corresponds an eigendistribution on an elliptical region containing I as the interval between its foci.

Plane Domains Which Are Spectrally Determined

This paper studies the trace of the heat kernelZ(t) _j=1 exp ( _j t), where{ _j } are the eigenvalues of atwo-dimensional Dirichlet or Neumann Laplace operator. FromZ(t), a sequence of invariants (geometrical invariants)such as area, boundary measure, Euler characteristics, etc., can bedetermined. Using these invariants, the existence of the nondisk domainswhich are determined from the information of Dirichlet and Neumannspectrum, can be shown. In addition, we prove that the number of suchdomains is infinite (uncountable) and these domains are not similar eachother.
