Local Convexity on Smooth Manifolds

Some properties of the spaces of paths are studied in order to define and characterize the local convexity of sets belonging to smooth manifolds and the local convexity of functions defined on local convex sets of smooth manifolds. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Guido Stampacchia. This research was supported in part by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund, Grants OTKA-T043276 and OTKA-T043241, and by CNR, Rome, Italy.     

Commensurability of Hyperbolic Manifolds with Geodesic Boundary

Suppose , let M ₁, M ₂ be n-dimensional connected complete finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with nonempty geodesic boundary, and suppose that π₁ (M ₁) is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M ₂) (with respect to the word metric). Also suppose that if n=3, then ∂M ₁ and ∂M ₂ are compact. We show that M ₁ is commensurable with M ₂. Moreover, we show that there exist homotopically equivalent hyperbolic 3-manifolds with non-compact geodesic boundary which are not commensurable with each other. We also prove that if M is as M ₁ above and G is a finitely generated group which is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M), then there exists a hyperbolic manifold with geodesic boundary M′ with the following properties: M′ is commensurable with M, and G is a finite extension of a group which contains π₁ (M′) as a finite-index subgroupMathematics Subject Classification (2000).

Integrable Geodesic Flows on Riemannian Manifolds

We discuss the notion of geodesics and study the global behavior of geodesics on closed Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we emphasize the case of so-called integrable geodesic flows.     

Convexity of Domains of Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper the problem of the geodesic connectedness and convexity ofincomplete Riemannian manifolds is analyzed. To this aim, a detailedstudy of the notion of convexity for the associated Cauchy boundary iscarried out. In particular, under widely discussed hypotheses,we prove the convexity of open domains (whose boundaries may benondifferentiable) of a complete Riemannian manifold. Variationalmethods are mainly used. Examples and applications are provided,including a result for dynamical systems on the existence oftrajectories with fixed energy.     

Hyperbolic Volume of Manifolds with Geodesic Boundary and Orthospectra

In this paper we describe a function F _n : R ₊ → R ₊ such that for any hyperbolic n-manifold M with totally geodesic boundary ${\partial M \neq \emptyset}In this paper we describe a function F _n : R ₊ → R ₊ such that for any hyperbolic n-manifold M with totally geodesic boundary ?M 1 ?{\partial M \neq \emptyset} , the volume of M is equal to the sum of the values of F _n on the orthospectrum of M. We derive an integral formula for F _n in terms of elementary functions. We use this to give a lower bound for the volume of a hyperbolic n-manifold with totally geodesic boundary in terms of the area of the boundary.     

Geodesic $\gamma$-Pre-$E$-Convex Functions on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we generalize geodesic $E$-convex function and define geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions on Riemannian manifolds. The sufficient condition of equivalence class of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convexity and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convexity for differentiable function on Riemannian manifolds is studied. We discuss the sufficient condition for $E$-epigraph to be geodesic $E$-convex set. At the end, we establish some optimality results with the aid of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions and discuss the mean value inequality for geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex function.     

Comparison Theorems on Convex Hypersurfaces in Hadamard Manifolds

In a Hadamard manifold with sectional curvaturebounded from below by –k ₂ ², we give sharp upper estimates for the difference circumradius minus inradiusof a compact k ₂-convex domain, and we getalso estimates for the quotient (Total d-mean curvature)/Area of a convex domain.     

Existence of Solutions for Vector Optimization on Hadamard Manifolds

In this paper, a relationship between a vector variational inequality and a vector optimization problem is given on a Hadamard manifold. An existence of a weak minimum for a constrained vector optimization problem is established by an analogous to KKM lemma on a Hadamard manifold.     

Geodesic symmetries of homogeneous Kähler Manifolds

D'Atri and Nickerson [6], [7] have given necessary conditions for the geodesic symmetries of a Riemannian manifold to preserve the volume element. We use their results to show that ifG is a compact simple Lie group,T is a maximal torus ofG, andG/T is not symmetric, then anyG-invariant Kähler metric onG/T does not have volume-preserving geodesic symmetries. From the Kähler/de Rham decomposition of a compact homogeneous Kähler manifold [8], our result extends to the invariant Kähler metrics on a quotient of a compact connected Lie group by a maximal torus. In proving these results we compute directly the Ricci tensor of anyG-invariant Kähler metric onG/T forG compact connected andT a maximal torus ofG. The result is an explicit formula giving the value of the Ricci tensor elements in terms of the root structure of the Lie algebra ofG.

Modified Curvatures on Manifolds with Boundary and Applications

To study the reflecting diffusion processes on manifolds with boundary, some new curvature operators are introduced by using the Bakry-Emery curvature and the second fundamental form. As applications, the gradient estimates, log-Harnack inequality and Poincaré/log-Sobolev inequalities are investigated for the Neumann semigroup on manifolds with boundary.     

Resolvents of Set-Valued Monotone Vector Fields in Hadamard Manifolds

Firmly nonexpansive mappings are introduced in Hadamard manifolds, a particular class of Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature. The resolvent of a set-valued vector field is defined in this setting and by means of this concept, a strong relationship between monotone vector fields and firmly nonexpansive mappings is established. This fact is then used to prove that the resolvent of a maximal monotone vector field has full domain. The Yosida approximation of a set-valued vector field is also introduced, analyzing its properties from which the asymptotic behavior of the resolvent is studied. Regarding the singularities of a set-valued monotone vector field, existence results are proved under certain boundary condition. As a consequence, the existence of fixed points for continuous pseudo-contractive mappings is obtained.     

On the Filling Invariants at Infinity of Hadamard Manifolds

We study the filling invariants at infinity div _k for Hadamard manifolds defined by Brady and Farb [ Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 350(8) (1998), 3393–3405]. Among other results, we give a positive answer to the question they posed: whether these invariants can be used to detect the rank of a symmetric space of noncompact type.     

Isometry Groups and Geodesic Foliations of Lorentz Manifolds. Part II: Geometry of Analytic Lorentz Manifolds with Large Isometry Groups

This is part II of a series on noncompact isometry groups of Lorentz manifolds. We have introduced in part I, a compactification of these isometry groups, and called "bipolarized" those Lorentz manifolds having a "trivial" compactification. Here we show a geometric rigidity of non-bipolarized Lorentz manifolds; that is, they are (at least locally) warped products of constant curvature Lorentz manifolds by Riemannian manifolds. Submitted: April 1998, final version: November 1998.     

A Projection-Type Method for Set Valued Variational Inequality Problems on Hadamard Manifolds

In this paper, we develop a projection-type algorithm for set-valued variational inequalities on Hadamard manifolds. The proposed method is well defined whether the solution set of the problem is non-empty or not. Under pseudomonotonicity assumptions on the underlying vector field, our method is convergent to a solution of the given set-valued variational inequality. The results presented in this paper generalize and improve some known results introduced by Tang et al. (Optimization 64(5):1081–1096, 2015).     

A Concentration Theorem of (R,p)-anders on Hadamard Manifolds

In this note, we prove a concentration theorem of (R, p)-anders. As a simple corollary, one can prove that (X, p)-anders do not admit coarse embeddings into Hadamard manifolds with bounded sectional curvatures.
