Harnack inequalities on a manifold with positive or negative Ricci curvature.

Dominique Bakry, Zhongmin M. Qian (1999)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Several new Harnack estimates for positive solutions of the heat equation on a complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive (or a negative) constant are established. These estimates are sharp both for small time, for large time and for large distance, and lead to new estimates for the heat kernel of a manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below.

Kähler-Einstein metrics singular along a smooth divisor

Raffe Mazzeo (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

In this note we discuss some recent and ongoing joint work with Thalia Jeffres concerning the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics on compact Kähler manifolds which have a prescribed incomplete singularity along a smooth divisor D . We shall begin with a general discussion of the problem, and give a rough outline of the “classical” proof of existence in the smooth case, due to Yau and Aubin, where no singularities are prescribed. Following this is a discussion of the geometry of the conical or edge...

Liouville type theorems for φ-subharmonic functions.

Marco Rigoli, Alberto G. Setti (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper we present some Liouville type theorems for solutions of differential inequalities involving the φ-Laplacian. Our results, in particular, improve and generalize known results for the Laplacian and the p-Laplacian, and are new even in these cases. Phragmen-Lindeloff type results, and a weak form of the Omori-Yau maximum principle are also discussed.

Mass endomorphism, surgery and perturbations

Bernd Ammann, Mattias Dahl, Andreas Hermann, Emmanuel Humbert (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with harmonic spinors, and analytic perturbation arguments.
