A Theorem of Liouville Type for Harmonic Morphisms

Let : M N be a harmonic morphism from a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M with nonnegative Ricci curvature to a complete Riemannian manifold N with nonpositive scalar curvature. We show if the energy of is finite, then is constant. This can be compared with a similar result for harmonic maps when N has nonpositive sectional curvature due to Schoen and Yau.     

Gap Phenomena for p-Harmonic Maps

In this paper, we generalize to p-harmonic mapssome gap results known for harmonic maps. In particular, we prove that,under a certain level of energy depending on the curvature of the domainand target manifolds, the only p-harmonic maps are theconstant ones. The main tools are Bochner–Weitzenböck andReilly-type formulas involving the p-Laplace operator.

Liouville type theorems for p-harmonic maps

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold and let N be a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that at all x∈M and at some point x₀∈M, where μ₀>0 is the least eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on L²-functions on M. Let 2?q?p. Then any q-harmonic map of finite q-energy is constant. Moreover, if N is a Riemannian manifold of non-positive scalar curvature, then any q-harmonic morphism of finite q-energy is constant.

We prove firstly the classification theorem for p-harmonic morphisms between Euclidean domains. Secondly, we show that if is a p-harmonic morphism (p ≥ 2) from a complete Riemannian manifold M of nonnegative Ricci curvature into a Riemannian manifold N of non-positive scalar curvature such that the L ^q -energy is finite, then is constant, which improve the corresponding result due to G. Choi, G. Yun in (Geometriae Dedicata 101 (2003), 53–59).      

The minimality of the map \frac{x}{\|{x}\|} for weighted energy

In this paper, we investigate the minimality of the map from the Euclidean unit ball Bⁿ to its boundary 핊ⁿ⁻¹ for weighted energy functionals of the type E_p,f = ∫_Bⁿ f(r)‖∇ u‖^p dx, where f is a non-negative function. We prove that in each of the two following cases:

Rough Isometry and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Harmonic Boundaries of Complete Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we describe the behavior of bounded energy finite solutions for certain nonlinear elliptic operators on a complete Riemannian manifold in terms of its p-harmonic boundary. We also prove that if two complete Riemannian manifolds are roughly isometric to each other, then their p-harmonic boundaries are homeomorphic to each other. In the case, there is a one to one correspondence between the sets of bounded energy finite solutions on such manifolds. In particular, in the case of the Laplacian, it becomes a linear isomorphism between the spaces of bounded harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral on the manifolds.

On the minimality of the p-harmonic ma p $$x/\|x\|$$ for weighted energy

In this paper, we study the minimality of the map for the weighted energy functional , where is a continuous function. We prove that for any integer and any non-negative, non-decreasing continuous function f, the map minimizes E _f,p among the maps in which coincide with on . The case p = 1 has been already studied in [Bourgoin J.-C. Calc. Var. (to appear)]. Then, we extend results of Hong (see Ann. Inst. Poincaré Anal. Non-linéaire 17: 35–46 (2000)). Indeed, under the same assumptions for the function f, we prove that in dimension n ≥  7 for any real with , the map minimizes E _f,p among the maps in which coincide with on .

The method of p -harmonic approximation and optimal interior partial regularity for energy minimizing p -harmonic maps under the controllable growth condition

In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity for the weak solutions of energy minimizing p-harmonic maps under the controllable growth condition. We get the interior partial regularity by the p-harmonic approximation method together with the technique used to get the decay estimation on some Degenerate elliptic equations and the obstacle problem by Tan and Yan. In particular, we directly get the optimal regularity.

Boundary Harnack Principle for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-harmonic Functions in Smooth Euclidean Domains

We establish a scale-invariant version of the boundary Harnack principle for p-harmonic functions in Euclidean C ^1,1-domains and obtain estimates for the decay rates of positive p-harmonic functions vanishing on a segment of the boundary in terms of the distance to the boundary. We use these estimates to study the behavior of conformal Martin kernel functions and positive p-superharmonic functions near the boundary of the domain. H.

The Groups LS and Morphisms of Quadratic Extensions

For a morphism of quadratic extensions of antistructures, groups similar to the groups of obstructions to splitting along one-sided submanifolds are defined. These groups are a natural generalization of the splitting obstruction groups. The results obtained open additional possibilities for constructing groups and natural maps in L-theory.

The author studies the minimization of an energy functional which is introduced in the study of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. It is proved that the map u₀=(u₀₁,u₀₂,0) is a minimizer by setting up the uniform gradient estimate where (u₀₁,u₀₂) is a p-harmonic map.

On Thompson's Theorem

Let p be a prime divisor of the order of a finite group G. Thompson (1970, J. Algebra14, 129–134) has proved the following remarkable result: a finite group G is p-nilpotent if the degrees of all its nonlinear irreducible characters are divisible by p (in fact, in that case G is solvable). In this note, we prove that a group G, having only one nonlinear irreducible character of p′-degree is a cyclic extension of Thompson's group. This result is a consequence of the following theorem: A nonabelian simple group possesses two nonlinear irreducible characters χ₁ and χ₂ of distinct degrees such that p does not divide χ₁(1)χ₂(1) (here p is arbitrary but fixed). Our proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups. Some properties of solvable groups possessing exactly two nonlinear irreducible characters of p′-degree are proved. Some open questions are posed.     

A Representation Theorem for Geometric Morphisms

It it shown that geometric morphisms between elementary toposes can be represented as certain adjunctions between the corresponding categories of locales. These adjunctions are characterized by (i) they preserve the order enrichment and the Sierpiński locale, and (ii) they satisfy Frobenius reciprocity.
