Lie solutions of Riemannian transport equations on compact manifolds

Given a couple of smooth positive measures of same total mass on a compact Riemannian manifold, the associated optimal transport equation admits a symplectic Monge-Ampère structure, hence Lie solutions (in a restricted sense, though, still expressing measure-transport). Properties of such solutions are recorded; a structure result is obtained for regular ones (each consisting of a closed 1-form composed with a diffeomorphism) and a quadratic cost-functional proposed for them.     

An existence theorem for invariant manifolds

For systems of the form =Ax +F ₁ (x, y, z), =By +F ₂ (x, y,z), =Cz +F ₃ (x, y, z) possessingP = {(0,0,z)} as invariant manifold we present sufficient conditions for the extension ofP to an invariant manifold of the form (x, s (x, z), z). Hereby we assume that the spectrum _A ofA is located to the left and the spectrum _b ofB to the right of a vertical straight linel in . In the case where the spectrum _C ofC lies to the left ofl too such an extension ofP is rather simple. We consider the situation where _{A C} cannot be separated from _B by a vertical line in .

Zusammenfassung Für Systeme der Form =Ax +F ₁ (x, y, z), =By +F ₂ (x, y,z), =Cz +F ₃ (x, y, z) mitP = {(0,0,z)} als invarianter Mannigfaltigkeit geben wir Bedingungen an, unter welchen sichP zu einer invarianten Mannigfaltigkeit der Form (x, s (x, z), z) fortsetzen läßt. Wir gehen stets davon aus, daß das Spektrum _A vonA links und das Spektrum _B vonB rechts einer vertikalen Geradenl in liegen. Eine derartige Fortsetzung vonP ist einfach, falls das Spektrum _C vonC ebenfalls links vonl liegt. Wir untersuchen den Fall, in welchem _{A C} sich nicht durch eine vertikale Gerade von _B trennen läßt.

Elliptic differential inclusions on non-compact Riemannian manifolds

We investigate a large class of elliptic differential inclusions on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds which involves the Laplace–Beltrami operator and a Hardy-type singular term. Depending on the behavior of the nonlinear term and on the curvature of the Riemannian manifold, we guarantee non-existence and existence/multiplicity of solutions for the studied differential inclusion. The proofs are based on nonsmooth variational analysis as well as isometric actions and fine eigenvalue properties on Riemannian manifolds. The results are also new in the smooth setting.     

Rough isometry and energy finite solutions of elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds

We prove that if the s-harmonic boundary of a complete Riemannian manifold consists of finitely many points, then the set of bounded energy finite solutions for certain nonlinear elliptic operators on the manifold is one to one corresponding to , where l is the cardinality of thes-harmonic boundary. We also prove that the finiteness of cardinality of s-harmonic boundary is a rough isometric invariant, moreover, in this case, the cardinality is preserved under rough isometries between complete Riemannian manifolds. This result generalizes those of Yau, of Donnelly, of Grigor'yan, of Li and Tam, of Kim and the present author, of Holopainen, and of the present author, but with different techniques which are demanded by the peculiarity of nonlinearity.

Pullback of measures on Riemannian manifolds

A general formula for the pullback of measures on submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds is derived. We prove the equivalence of three different approaches to distributions supported on submanifolds, originating from Gelfand and Shilov, Friedlander, and a characterization using single-layer distributions, respectively.     

Viscosity solutions to second order partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds

We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for viscosity solutions to a wide class of fully nonlinear second order partial differential equations F(x,u,du,d²u)=0 defined on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Finest results (with hypothesis that require the function F to be degenerate elliptic, that is nonincreasing in the second order derivative variable, and uniformly continuous with respect to the variable x) are obtained under the assumption that M has nonnegative sectional curvature, while, if one additionally requires F to depend on d²u in a uniformly continuous manner, then comparison results are established with no restrictive assumptions on curvature.     

Construction of invariant scalar particle wave equations on Riemannian manifolds with external gauge fields

We consider the problem of constructing scalar particle wave equations in Riemannian spaces with external gauge fields whose symmetry group is the group of motions of the Riemannian space. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 156, No. 2, pp. 237–249, August, 2008.     

Continuous maximal regularity on uniformly regular Riemannian manifolds

We establish continuous maximal regularity results for parabolic differential operators acting on sections of tensor bundles on uniformly regular Riemannian manifolds M. As an application, we show that solutions to the Yamabe flow on M instantaneously regularize and become real analytic in space and time. The regularity result is obtained by introducing a family of parameter-dependent diffeomorphisms acting on functions on M in conjunction with maximal regularity and the implicit function theorem.     

Conformal capacities and conformally invariant functions on Riemannian manifolds

This paper develops the theory of conformal invariants initiated inJ. Differential Geom 8 (1973), 487–510 for a Riemannian manifoldM with dimensionn2. We construct and study four conformally invariant functions M, M, M, M resp. depending on 4, 3 or 2 points onM, defined as extremal capacities for condensers associated with those points. These functions have similarities with the classical invariants onS ⁿ ,R ⁿ orH ⁿ . Their properties, and especially their continuity, are efficient tools for solving some problems of conformal geometry in the large.     

Strong solutions to stochastic wave equations with values in Riemannian manifolds

Let M be a d-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We prove existence of a unique global strong solution of the stochastic wave equation , where Y is a C¹-smooth transformation and W is a spatially homogeneous Wiener process on whose spectral measure has finite moments up to order 2.
