Some examples of harmonic maps for g -natural metrics

Mohamed Tahar Kadaoui Abbassi, Giovanni Calvaruso, Domenico Perrone (2009)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

We produce new examples of harmonic maps, having as source manifold a space ( M , g ) of constant curvature and as target manifold its tangent bundle T M , equipped with a suitable Riemannian g -natural metric. In particular, we determine a family of Riemannian g -natural metrics G on T 𝕊 2 , with respect to which all conformal gradient vector fields define harmonic maps from 𝕊 2 into ( T 𝕊 2 , G ) .

Some existence results for the scalar curvature problem via Morse theory

Andrea Malchiodi (1999)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We prove existence of positive solutions for the equation - g 0 u + u = 1 + ϵ K x u 2 * - 1 on S n , arising in the prescribed scalar curvature problem. is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on S n , 2 is the critical Sobolev exponent, and ϵ is a small parameter. The problem can be reduced to a finite dimensional study which is performed with Morse theory.

Some functorial prolongations of general connections

Ivan Kolář (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider the problem of prolongating general connections on arbitrary fibered manifolds with respect to a product preserving bundle functor. Our main tools are the theory of Weil algebras and the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket.

Some generic properties of nonlinear second order diffusional type problem

Vladimír Ďurikovič, Mária Ďurikovičová (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

We are interested of the Newton type mixed problem for the general second order semilinear evolution equation. Applying Nikolskij’s decomposition theorem and general Fredholm operator theory results, the present paper yields sufficient conditions for generic properties, surjectivity and bifurcation sets of the given problem.

Some geometric aspects of the calculus of variations in several independent variables

David Saunders (2010)

Communications in Mathematics

This paper describes some recent research on parametric problems in the calculus of variations. It explains the relationship between these problems and the type of problem more usual in physics, where there is a given space of independent variables, and it gives an interpretation of the first variation formula in this context in terms of cohomology.

Some Gradient Estimates on Covering Manifolds

Nick Dungey (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold which is a Galois covering, that is, M is periodic under the action of a discrete group G of isometries. Assuming that G has polynomial volume growth, we provide a new proof of Gaussian upper bounds for the gradient of the heat kernel of the Laplace operator on M. Our method also yields a control on the gradient in case G does not have polynomial growth.

Some liftings of Poisson structures to Weil bundles

Jacek Dębecki (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We establish a formula for the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket of linear liftings of skew-symmetric tensor fields to any Weil bundle. As a result we obtain a construction of some liftings of Poisson structures to Weil bundles.

Some natural operators on vector fields

Jiří M. Tomáš (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

We determine all natural operators transforming vector fields on a manifold M to vector fields on T * T 1 2 M , dim M 2 , and all natural operators transforming vector fields on M to functions on T * T T 1 2 M , dim M 3 . We describe some relations between these two kinds of natural operators.
