Metrizability of connections on two-manifolds

Alena Vanžurová, Petra Žáčková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We contribute to the reverse of the Fundamental Theorem of Riemannian geometry: if a symmetric linear connection on a manifold is given, find non-degenerate metrics compatible with the connection (locally or globally) if there are any. The problem is not easy in general. For nowhere flat 2 -manifolds, we formulate necessary and sufficient metrizability conditions. In the favourable case, we describe all compatible metrics in terms of the Ricci tensor. We propose an application in the calculus of...

Microlocal Approach to Tensor Tomography and Boundary and Lens Rigidity

Stefanov, Plamen (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C24, 53C65, 53C21.This is a survey of the recent results by the author and Gunther Uhlmann on the boundary rigidity problem and on the associated tensor tomography problem.Author partly supported by NSF Grant DMS-0400869.

Minimal Graphs in n × and n + 1

Ricardo Sà Earp, Eric Toubiana (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct geometric barriers for minimal graphs in n × . We prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the vertical minimal equation in the interior of a convex polyhedron in n extending continuously to the interior of each face, taking infinite boundary data on one face and zero boundary value data on the other faces.In n × , we solve the Dirichlet problem for the vertical minimal equation in a C 0 convex domain Ω n taking arbitrarily continuous finite boundary and asymptotic boundary data.We prove...
