On the motion of a curve by its binormal curvature

Jerrard, Robert L., Didier Smets (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We propose a weak formulation for the binormal curvature flow of curves in 3 . This formulation is sufficiently broad to consider integral currents as initial data, and sufficiently strong for the weak-strong uniqueness property to hold, as long as self-intersections do not occur. We also prove a global existence theorem in that framework.

On the multiplicity of eigenvalues of conformally covariant operators

Yaiza Canzani (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let ( M , g ) be a compact Riemannian manifold and P g an elliptic, formally self-adjoint, conformally covariant operator of order m acting on smooth sections of a bundle over M . We prove that if P g has no rigid eigenspaces (see Definition 2.2), the set of functions f C ( M , ) for which P e f g has only simple non-zero eigenvalues is a residual set in C ( M , ) . As a consequence we prove that if P g has no rigid eigenspaces for a dense set of metrics, then all non-zero eigenvalues are simple for a residual set of metrics in the C -topology....

On the nonexistence of stable minimal submanifolds and the Lawson-Simons conjecture

Ze-Jun Hu, Guo-Xin Wei (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let M̅ be a compact Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature K M ̅ satisfying 1 / 5 < K M ̅ 1 (resp. 2 K M ̅ < 10 ), which can be isometrically immersed as a hypersurface in the Euclidean space (resp. the unit Euclidean sphere). Then there exist no stable compact minimal submanifolds in M̅. This extends Shen and Xu’s result for 1/4-pinched Riemannian manifolds and also suggests a modified version of the well-known Lawson-Simons conjecture.

On the normality of an almost contact 3 -structure on Q R -submanifolds

Shoichi Funabashi, Jin Suk Pak, Yang Jae Shin (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study n -dimensional Q R -submanifolds of Q R -dimension ( p - 1 ) immersed in a quaternionic space form Q P ( n + p ) / 4 ( c ) , c 0 , and, in particular, determine such submanifolds with the induced normal almost contact 3 -structure.

On the Paneitz energy on standard three sphere

Paul Yang, Meijun Zhu (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere S 3 is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.
