A new characterization of the sphere in $R^{3}$

Thomas Hasanis (1980)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let M be a closed connected surface in $R^{3}$ with positive Gaussian curvature K and let $K_{I} I$ be the curvature of its second fundamental form. It is shown that M is a sphere if $K_{I} I = c \sqrt H K^{r}$ , for some constants c and r, where H is the mean curvature of M.

Mean curvature properties for $p$ -Laplace phase transitions

Berardino Sciunzi, Enrico Valdinoci (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of $p$ -Laplacian type and a double well potential $h_{0}$ with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of $Δ_{p} u = h_{0}^{'} (u)$ possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.

Gradient estimates of Li Yau type for a general heat equation on Riemannian manifolds

Nguyen Ngoc Khanh (2016)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider gradient estimates on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ for the following general heat equation $u_{t} = Δ_{V} u + a u log u + b u$ where $a$ is a constant and $b$ is a differentiable function defined on $M \times [0, \infty)$ . We suppose that the Bakry-Émery curvature and the $N$ -dimensional Bakry-Émery curvature are bounded from below, respectively. Then we obtain the gradient estimate of Li-Yau type for the above general heat equation. Our results generalize the work of Huang-Ma ([4]) and Y. Li ([6]), recently. ...

Singer-Thorpe bases for special Einstein curvature tensors in dimension 4

Zdeněk Dušek (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $(M, g)$ be a 4-dimensional Einstein Riemannian manifold. At each point $p$ of $M$ , the tangent space admits a so-called Singer-Thorpe basis (ST basis) with respect to the curvature tensor $R$ at $p$ . In this basis, up to standard symmetries and antisymmetries, just $5$ components of the curvature tensor $R$ are nonzero. For the space of constant curvature, the group $O (4)$ acts as a transformation group between ST bases at $T_{p} M$ and for the so-called 2-stein curvature tensors, the group $Sp (1) \subset SO (4)$ acts as a transformation...

Tenseness of Riemannian flows

Hiraku Nozawa, José Ignacio Royo Prieto (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that any transversally complete Riemannian foliation $ℱ$ of dimension one on any possibly non-compact manifold $M$ is tense; namely, $M$ admits a Riemannian metric such that the mean curvature form of $ℱ$ is basic. This is a partial generalization of a result of Domínguez, which says that any Riemannian foliation on any compact manifold is tense. Our proof is based on some results of Molino and Sergiescu, and it is simpler than the original proof by Domínguez. As an application, we generalize...

Riemannian geometries on spaces of plane curves

Peter W. Michor, David Mumford (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study some Riemannian metrics on the space of smooth regular curves in the plane, viewed as the orbit space of maps from $S^{1}$ to the plane modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^{1}$ , acting as reparametrizations. In particular we investigate the metric, for a constant $A > 0$ , $G_{c}^{A} (h, k) : = \int_{S^{1}} (1 + A κ_{c} {(θ)}^{2}) 〈 h (θ), k (θ) 〉 | c^{'} (θ) | d θ$ where $κ_{c}$ is the curvature of the curve $c$ and $h$ , $k$ are normal vector fields to $c$ . The term $A κ^{2}$ is a sort of geometric Tikhonov regularization because, for $A = 0$ , the geodesic distance between any two distinct curves is 0, while...

Riemannian semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds and nullity distributions

Yaning Wang, Ximin Liu (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider an almost Kenmotsu manifold $M^{2 n + 1}$ with the characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the (k,μ)’-nullity distribution and h’ ≠ 0 and we prove that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, provided that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric. Moreover, if $M^{2 n + 1}$ is a ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ξ belongs to the (k,μ)-nullity distribution, we prove...

On $G$ -sets and isospectrality

Ori Parzanchevski (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study finite $G$ -sets and their tensor product with Riemannian manifolds, and obtain results on isospectral quotients and covers. In particular, we show the following: If $M$ is a compact connected Riemannian manifold (or orbifold) whose fundamental group has a finite non-cyclic quotient, then $M$ has isospectral non-isometric covers.

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces $f : Σ \to ℝ^{n}$ , we study the curvature functionals $ℰ^{p} (f)$ and $𝒲^{p} (f)$ with integrands ${(1 + | A |}^{2})^{p / 2}$ and ${(1 + | H |}^{2})^{p / 2}$ , respectively. Here $A$ is the second fundamental form, $H$ is the mean curvature and we assume $p > 2$ . Our main result asserts that $W^{2, p}$ critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for $𝒲^{p}$ -bounded sequences. In the case of $ℰ^{p}$ this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for $𝒲^{p}$ we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below $8 π$ as an additional...

A strong maximum principle for the Paneitz operator and a non-local flow for the $Q$ -curvature

Matthew J. Gursky, Andrea Malchiodi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we consider Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n}, g)$ of dimension $n \geq 5$ , with semi-positive $Q$ -curvature and non-negative scalar curvature. Under these assumptions we prove (i) the Paneitz operator satisfies a strong maximum principle; (ii) the Paneitz operator is a positive operator; and (iii) its Green’s function is strictly positive. We then introduce a non-local flow whose stationary points are metrics of constant positive $Q$ -curvature. Modifying the test function construction of Esposito-Robert,...

The resolution of the bounded $L^{2}$ curvature conjecture in general relativity

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski, Jérémie Szeftel (2014-2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

This paper reports on the recent proof of the bounded $L^{2}$ curvature conjecture. More precisely we show that the time of existence of a classical solution to the Einstein-vacuum equations depends only on the $L^{2}$ -norm of the curvature and a lower bound of the volume radius of the corresponding initial data set.

Structure of second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds

Oihane F. Blanco, Miguel Sánchez, José M. Senovilla (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

$𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠$ , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative $\nabla \nabla R \equiv 0$ of the curvature tensor $R$ , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product $M = M_{1} \times M_{2}$ where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: $M_{2}$ is a Riemannian symmetric space and $M_{1}$ is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., $\nabla R \neq 0$ at some point), the curvature...

Upper bounds on the length of a shortest closed geodesic and quantitative Hurewicz theorem

Alexander Nabutovsky, Regina Rotman (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we present two upper bounds on the length of a shortest closed geodesic on compact Riemannian manifolds. The first upper bound depends on an upper bound on sectional curvature and an upper bound on the volume of the manifold. The second upper bound will be given in terms of a lower bound on sectional curvature, an upper bound on the diameter and a lower bound on the volume. The related questions that will also be studied are the following: given a contractible $k$ -dimensional...

A characterization of n-dimensional hypersurfaces in $R^{n + 1}$ with commuting curvature operators

Yulian T. Tsankov (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let Mⁿ be a hypersurface in $R^{n + 1}$ . We prove that two classical Jacobi curvature operators $J_{x}$ and $J_{y}$ commute on Mⁿ, n > 2, for all orthonormal pairs (x,y) and for all points p ∈ M if and only if Mⁿ is a space of constant sectional curvature. Also we consider all hypersurfaces with n ≥ 4 satisfying the commutation relation $(K_{x, y} \circ K_{z, u}) (u) = (K_{z, u} \circ K_{x, y}) (u)$ , where $K_{x, y} (u) = R (x, y, u)$ , for all orthonormal tangent vectors x,y,z,w and for all points p ∈ M.

A geometric problem and the Hopf Lemma. I

Yan Yan Li, Louis Nirenberg (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n$ -dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $ℝ^{n + 1}$ , and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of $M$ in a hyperplane $X_{n + 1} = const$ in case $M$ satisfies: for any two points $(X^{'}, X_{n + 1})$ , $(X^{'}, {\hat{X}}_{n + 1})$ on $M$ , with $X_{n + 1} > {\hat{X}}_{n + 1}$ , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional condition for $n = 1$ ....

Global pinching theorems for minimal submanifolds in spheres

Kairen Cai (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be a compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector embedded in the unit sphere $S^{n + p} (1)$ . By using the Sobolev inequalities of P. Li to get $L_{p}$ estimates for the norms of certain tensors related to the second fundamental form of M, we prove some rigidity theorems. Denote by H and ${| | σ | |}_{p}$ the mean curvature and the $L_{p}$ norm of the square length of the second fundamental form of M. We show that there is a constant C such that if ${| | σ | |}_{n / 2} < C$ , then M is a minimal submanifold in the sphere $S^{n + p - 1} (1 + H ²)$ with sectional...

Collapse of warped submersions

Szymon M. Walczak (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We generalize the concept of warped manifold to Riemannian submersions π: M → B between two compact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g_{M})$ and $(B, g_{B})$ in the following way. If f: B → (0,∞) is a smooth function on B which is extended to a function f̂ = f ∘ π constant along the fibres of π then we define a new metric $g_{f}$ on M by $g_{f} |_{\times} \equiv g_{M} |_{\times}, g_{f} {|_{\times T M ̂} \equiv f ̂ ² g_{M} |}_{\times T M ̂}$ , where and denote the bundles of horizontal and vertical vectors. The manifold $(M, g_{f})$ obtained that way is called a warped submersion. The function f is called a warping function. We show...
