Rationality of geometric signatures of complete 4-manifolds.
We prove the unique existence of the (non-linear) resolvent associated to a coercive proper lower semicontinuous function satisfying a weak notion of p-uniform λ-convexity on a complete metric space, and establish the existence of the minimizer of such functions as the large time limit of the resolvents, which generalizing pioneering work by Jost for convex functionals on complete CAT(0)-spaces. The results can be applied to Lp-Wasserstein space over complete p-uniformly convex spaces. As an application,...
This paper is a study of harmonic maps fromRiemannian polyhedra to locally non-positively curved geodesic spaces in the sense of Alexandrov. We prove Liouville-type theorems for subharmonic functions and harmonic maps under two different assumptions on the source space. First we prove the analogue of the Schoen-Yau Theorem on a complete pseudomanifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Then we study 2-parabolic admissible Riemannian polyhedra and prove some vanishing results on them.
