“A priori” estimates, uniqueness and existence of positive solutions of Yamabe type equations on complete manifolds

We study the asymptotic behaviour of non-negative solutions of Yamabe type equations on a complete Riemannian manifold. Then we provide a comparison result, based on a form of the weak maximum principle at infinity, which together with the “a priori” estimates previously obtained, yields uniqueness under very general Ricci assumptions. The paper ends with an existence result and an application to the non-compact Yamabe problem.

“Existence globale et comportement asymptotique pour l'équation de Klein-Gordon quasi linéaire à données petites en dimension 1” [Ann. Sci. École Norm. Sup. (4) 34 (1) (2001) 1-61]

We correct in this note a mistake in [Delort, J.-M., Existence globale et comportement asymptotique pour l'équation de Klein-Gordon quasi linéaire à données petites en dimension 1, Ann. Sci. École Norm. Sup. (4) 34 (1) (2001) 1-61], which has been indicated to us by H. Lindblad. The results of [Delort, J.-M., Existence globale et comportement asymptotique pour l'équation de Klein-Gordon quasi linéaire à données petites en dimension 1, Ann. Sci. École Norm. Sup. (4) 34 (1) (2001) 1-61] still hold true if one increases the smoothness assumption made on the Cauchy data.     

Blow-up and global existence for the porous medium equation with reaction on a class of Cartan–Hadamard manifolds

We consider the porous medium equation with power-type reaction terms $u^p$ on negatively curved Riemannian manifolds, and solutions corresponding to bounded, nonnegative and compactly supported data. If $p>m$, small data give rise to global-in-time solutions while solutions associated to large data blow up in finite time. If $p<m$, large data blow up at worst in infinite time, and under the stronger restriction $p\in (1,(1+m)/2]$ all data give rise to solutions existing globally in time, whereas solutions corresponding to large data blow up in infinite time. The results are in several aspects significantly different from the Euclidean ones, as has to be expected since negative curvature is known to give rise to faster diffusion properties of the porous medium equation.     

Isovecteurs pour l'équation de Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman,différentielles stochastiques formelles et intégrales premières en mécanique quantique euclidienneIsovectors for the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation,formal stochastic differentials and constants of motion in Euclidean Quantum Mechanics

We give a stochastic interpretation of the geometrical representation, from E. Cartan, of the heat equation, in terms of ideal exterior differential forms and isovectors generating the symmetries of this equation. The method can also be used to interpret as a stochastic deformation the contact geometry of first order ordinary differential equations and the search for infinitesimal symmetries of the associated Hamilton–Jacobi equation. We thus generalise, in an elegant and geometrical way, the results coming originally from long calculations of stochastic analysis. To cite this article: P. Lescot, J.-C. Zambrini, C. R. Acad. Sci.
