The bounce problem, on n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Danilo Percivale (1981)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questo lavoro vengono generalizzati i risultati relativi al problema del rimbalzo unidimensionale studiato in [5]. Precisamente si considera un punto mobile su una varietà Riemanniana V n -dimensionale, soggetto all’azione di un potenziale variabile nel tempo e vincolato a restare in una parte W di V avente un bordo di classe C 3 contro cui il punto «rimbalza»....

The boundary value problem for Dirac-harmonic maps

Qun Chen, Jürgen Jost, Guofang Wang, Miaomiao Zhu (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Dirac-harmonic maps are a mathematical version (with commuting variables only) of the solutions of the field equations of the non-linear supersymmetric sigma model of quantum field theory. We explain this structure, including the appropriate boundary conditions, in a geometric framework. The main results of our paper are concerned with the analytic regularity theory of such Dirac-harmonic maps. We study Dirac-harmonic maps from a Riemannian surface to an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold. We...

The Calabi functional on a ruled surface

Gábor Székelyhidi (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We study the Calabi functional on a ruled surface over a genus two curve. For polarizations which do not admit an extremal metric we describe the behavior of a minimizing sequence splitting the manifold into pieces. We also show that the Calabi flow starting from a metric with suitable symmetry gives such a minimizing sequence.

The canonical constructions of connections on total spaces of fibred manifolds

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2024)

Archivum Mathematicum

We classify classical linear connections A ( Γ , Λ , Θ ) on the total space Y of a fibred manifold Y M induced in a natural way by the following three objects: a general connection Γ in Y M , a classical linear connection Λ on M and a linear connection Θ in the vertical bundle V Y Y . The main result says that if dim ( M ) 3 and dim ( Y ) - dim ( M ) 3 then the natural operators A under consideration form the 17 dimensional affine space.
