Local and global aspects of separating coordinates for the Klein-Gordon equation

Hinterleitner, Franz (1997)

Proceedings of the 16th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The author considers the Klein-Gordon equation for ( 1 + 1 ) -dimensional flat spacetime. He is interested in those coordinate systems for which the equation is separable. These coordinate systems are explicitly known and generally do not cover the whole plane. The author constructs tensor fields which he can use to express the locus of points where the coordinates break down.

Local coordinates for SL ( n , C ) -character varieties of finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Pere Menal-Ferrer, Joan Porti (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Given a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold, we compose a lift of the holonomy in SL ( 2 , C ) with the n -dimensional irreducible representation of SL ( 2 , C ) in SL ( n , C ) . In this paper we give local coordinates of the SL ( n , C ) -character variety around the character of this representation. As a corollary, this representation is isolated among all representations that are unipotent at the cusps.

Local gradient estimates of p -harmonic functions, 1 / H -flow, and an entropy formula

Brett Kotschwar, Lei Ni (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p -harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the 1 / H (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp volume growth assumption. In the second part of this paper, we consider two parabolic analogues of the p -harmonic...

Local reduction theorems and invariants for singular contact structures

Bronislaw Jakubczyk, Michail Zhitomirskii (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

A differential 1-form on a ( 2 k + 1 ) -dimensional manifolds M defines a singular contact structure if the set S of points where the contact condition is not satisfied, S = { p M : ( ω ( d ω ) k ( p ) = 0 } , is nowhere dense in M . Then S is a hypersurface with singularities and the restriction of ω to S can be defined. Our first theorem states that in the holomorphic, real-analytic, and smooth categories the germ of Pfaffian equation ( ω ) generated by ω is determined, up to a diffeomorphism, by its restriction to S , if we eliminate certain degenerated singularities...
