The object of the present paper is to study $\eta$-Ricci solitons on $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifolds. It is shown that if $\xi$ is a recurrent torse forming $\eta$-Ricci soliton on an $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifold then $\xi$ is (i) concurrent and (ii) Killing vector field.

Let $F$ be a closed subset of ${ℝ}^n$ and let $P\left(x\right)$ denote the metric projection (closest point mapping) of $x\in {ℝ}^n$ onto $F$ in $l^p$-norm. A classical result of Asplund states that $P$ is (Fréchet) differentiable almost everywhere (a.e.) in ${ℝ}^n$ in the Euclidean case $p=2$. We consider the case $2<p<\infty$ and prove that the $i$th component $P_i\left(x\right)$ of $P\left(x\right)$ is differentiable a.e. if $P_i\left(x\right)\ne x_i$ and satisfies Hölder condition of order $1/(p-1)$ if $P_i\left(x\right)=x_i$.

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of complex dimension $n\ge 2$ and $\Omega ⋐X$ be a relatively compact domain with $C^2$ smooth boundary in $X$. Assume that $\Omega$ is a weakly $q$-pseudoconvex domain in $X$. The purpose of this paper is to establish sufficient conditions for the closed range of $\overline{\partial }$ on $\Omega$. Moreover, we study the $\overline{\partial }$-problem on $\Omega$. Specifically, we use the modified weight function method to study the weighted $\overline{\partial }$-problem with exact support in $\Omega$. Our method relies on the $L^2$-estimates by Hörmander (1965) and by Kohn (1973). ...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\&gt;2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface. Let ${ℍ}^3$ be the $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space and let ${\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3$ be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping $\varphi :S\to {\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3=\widehat{ℂ}$. If $i:S\to {ℍ}^3$ is a convex immersion, and if $N$ is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, $\widehat{ı}$, of $i$ by $\widehat{ı}=N$. Let $\overrightarrow{n}:U{ℍ}^3\to {\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3$ be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem $(S,\varphi )$ is a convex immersion $i$ of constant Gaussian curvature equal to $k\in (0,1)$ such that the Gauss lifting $(S,\widehat{ı})$ is complete and $\overrightarrow{n}\circ \widehat{ı}=\varphi$. In this...

Let $k$ be a fixed integer. We study the asymptotic formula of $R(H,r,k)$, which is the number of positive integer solutions $1\le x,y,z\le H$ such that the polynomial $x^2+y^2+z^2+k$ is $r$-free. We obtained the asymptotic formula of $R(H,r,k)$ for all $r\ge 2$. Our result is new even in the case $r=2$. We proved that $R(H,2,k)=c_k{H}^3+O\left(H^{9/4+\epsilon }\right)$, where $c_k>0$ is a constant depending on $k$. This improves upon the error term $O\left(H^{7/3+\epsilon }\right)$ obtained by G.-L. Zhou, Y. Ding (2022).

Let ${\Phi }_1,...,{\Phi }_{k+1}$ (with $k\ge 1$) be vector fields of class $C^k$ in an open set $U{\subset }^{N+m}$, let $𝕄$ be a $N$-dimensional $C^k$ submanifold of $U$ and define $$𝕋:=\{z\in 𝕄:{\Phi }_1\left(z\right),...,{\Phi }_{k+1}\left(z\right)\in T_z𝕄\}$$ where $T_z𝕄$ is the tangent space to $𝕄$ at $z$. Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when $z_0$ is an interior point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$: If $z_0\in 𝕄$ is a $(N+k)$-density point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$ then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to $k$ $${\Phi }_{i_1}\left(z_0\right),[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}]\left(z_0\right),[[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}],{\Phi }_{i_3}]\left(z_0\right),...(h,i_h\le k+1)$$ belong to $T_{z_0}𝕄$. Such a property has been proved in [9] for $k=1$ and its proof in the...
