On the Regularity of Alexandrov Surfaces with Curvature Bounded Below

Luigi Ambrosio, Jérôme Bertrand (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

In this note, we prove that on a surface with Alexandrov’s curvature bounded below, the distance derives from a Riemannian metric whose components, for any p ∈ [1, 2), locally belong to W1,p out of a discrete singular set. This result is based on Reshetnyak’s work on the more general class of surfaces with bounded integral curvature.

Prescribing Gauss curvature of surfaces in 3-dimensional spacetimes Application to the Minkowski problem in the Minkowski space

Thierry Barbot, François Béguin, Abdelghani Zeghib (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study the existence of surfaces with constant or prescribed Gauss curvature in certain Lorentzian spacetimes. We prove in particular that every (non-elementary) 3-dimensional maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact spacetime with constant non-negative curvature is foliated by compact spacelike surfaces with constant Gauss curvature. In the constant negative curvature case, such a foliation exists outside the convex core. The existence of these foliations, together with a theorem...

Uniqueness results for the Minkowski problem extended to hedgehogs

Yves Martinez-Maure (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The classical Minkowski problem has a natural extension to hedgehogs, that is to Minkowski differences of closed convex hypersurfaces. This extended Minkowski problem is much more difficult since it essentially boils down to the question of solutions of certain Monge-Ampère equations of mixed type on the unit sphere 𝕊 n of ℝn+1. In this paper, we mainly consider the uniqueness question and give first results.
