The evolution of harmonic mappings with free boundaries.
We investigate the gradient flow associated to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on compact riemannian surfaces. We prove the global existence and the convergence at infinity of this flow under sufficient conditions on the prescribed function, which we suppose just continuous. In particular, this gives a uniform approach to solve the prescribed scalar curvature problem for general compact surfaces.
We compute the evolution equation of the Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow of a Riemannian manifold and we discuss some consequences for the classification of locally conformally flat Ricci solitons.
In this paper, we prove that the first eigenvalue of a complete spacelike submanifold in with the bounded Gauss map must be zero.
Two fiber bundles E₁ and E₂ over the same base space M yield the fibered set ℱ(E₁,E₂) → M, whose fibers are defined as , for each x ∈ M. This fibered set can be regarded as a smooth space in the sense of Frölicher and we construct its tangent prolongation. Then we extend the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket to projectable tangent valued forms on ℱ(E₁,E₂). These forms turn out to be a kind of differential operators. In particular, we consider a general connection on ℱ(E₁,E₂) and study the associated...
