Plateau-Stein manifolds

Misha Gromov (2014)

Open Mathematics

We study/construct (proper and non-proper) Morse functions f on complete Riemannian manifolds X such that the hypersurfaces f(x) = t for all −∞ < t < +∞ have positive mean curvatures at all non-critical points x ∈ X of f. We show, for instance, that if X admits no such (not necessarily proper) function, then it contains a (possibly, singular) complete (possibly, compact) minimal hypersurface of finite volume.

Plongements bilipschitziens dans les espaces euclidiens, Q -courbure et flot quasi-conforme

Hervé Pajot (2006/2007)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Soit g 0 la métrique riemannienne standard sur 4 et soit g = e 2 u une déformation conforme lisse de g 0 . Nous présentons une condition suffisante en terme de Q -courbure pour que la variété ( 4 , g ) se plonge de façon bilipschitzienne, en tant qu’espace métrique, dans ( 4 , g 0 ) . Ce théorème du à Bonk, Heinonen et Saksman découle d’un résultat lié au problème du jacobien quasiconforme.

Poincaré-invariant structures in the solution manifold of a nonlinear wave equation.

Irving E. Segal (1986)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The solution manifold M of the equation ⎯φ + gφ3 = 0 in Minkowski space is studied from the standpoint of the establishment of differential-geometric structures therein. It is shown that there is an almost Kähler structure globally defined on M that is Poincaré invariant. In the vanishing curvature case g = 0 the structure obtained coincides with the complex Hilbert structure in the solution manifold of the real wave equation. The proofs are based on the transfer of the equation to an ambient universal...

Pointed k -surfaces

Graham Smith (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let S be a Riemann surface. Let 3 be the 3 -dimensional hyperbolic space and let 3 be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping ϕ : S 3 = ^ . If i : S 3 is a convex immersion, and if N is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, ı ^ , of i by ı ^ = N . Let n : U 3 3 be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem ( S , ϕ ) is a convex immersion i of constant Gaussian curvature equal to k ( 0 , 1 ) such that the Gauss lifting ( S , ı ^ ) is complete and n ı ^ = ϕ . In this paper, we show...
