Two symplectic structures on a manifold $M$ determine a (1,1)-tensor field on $M$. In this paper we study some properties of this field. Conversely, if $A$ is (1,1)-tensor field on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega )$ then using the natural lift theory we find conditions under which ${\omega }^A,{\omega }^A(X,Y)=\omega (AX,Y)$, is symplectic.

In questo lavoro si danno alcuni risultati sugli spettri degli operatori di Laplace per varietà Riemanniane compatte con curvatura scalare positiva e di dimensione $2p$. Ad essi si aggiunge una osservazione riguardante la congettura di Yamabe.

Let $f$ be a continuous map of the closure $\overline{\mathrm{\Delta }}$ of the open unit disc $\mathrm{\Delta }$ of $\mathbb{C}$ into a unital associative Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$, whose restriction to $\mathrm{\Delta }$ is holomorphic, and which satisfies the condition whereby $0\notin \sigma \left(f\left(z\right)\right)\subset \overline{\mathrm{\Delta }}$ for all $z\in \mathrm{\Delta }$ and $\sigma \left(f\left(z\right)\right)\subset \partial \mathrm{\Delta }$ whenever $z\in \partial \mathrm{\Delta }$ (where $\sigma \left(x\right)$ is the spectrum of any $x\in \mathcal{A}$). One of the basic results of the present paper is that $f$ is , that is to say, $\sigma \left(f\left(z\right)\right)$ is then a compact subset of $\partial \mathrm{\Delta }$ that does not depend on $z$ for all $z\in \overline{\mathrm{\Delta }}$. This fact will be applied to holomorphic self-maps of the open unit ball of some $J^{*}$-algebra...

We study the boundary value problem $-{\mathrm{d}iv\left(\right(\left|\nabla u\right|}^{p_1\left(x\right)-2}+{\left|\nabla u\right|}^{p_2\left(x\right)-2}\left)\nabla u\right)=f(x,u)$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$. Our attention is focused on two cases when $f(x,u)=\pm (-\lambda |u{|}^{m\left(x\right)-2}u+\left|u{|}^{q\left(x\right)-2}u\right)$, where $m\left(x\right)=max\{p_1\left(x\right),p_2\left(x\right)\}$ for any $x\in \overline{\Omega }$ or $m\left(x\right)<q\left(x\right)<\frac{N·m\left(x\right)}{(N-m(x\left)\right)}$ for any $x\in \overline{\Omega }$. In the former case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any $\lambda >0$. In the latter we prove that if $\lambda$ is large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with a ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-symmetric version for even functionals...

We consider a class of nonlocal operators associated with an action of a compact Lie group G on a smooth closed manifold. Ellipticity condition and Fredholm property for elliptic operators are obtained. This class of operators is studied using pseudodifferential uniformization, which reduces the problem to a pseudodifferential operator acting in sections of infinite-dimensional bundles.

Let $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$ be a bounded starshaped domain and consider the $(p,q)$-Laplacian problem $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill -{\Delta }_{p}u-{\Delta }_{q}u=\lambda \left(𝐱\right){\left|u\right|}^{p^{☆}-2}u+\mu {\left|u\right|}^{r-2}u\end{array}$$ where $\mu$ is a positive parameter, $1<q\le p<n$, $r\ge p^{☆}$ and $p^{☆}:=\frac{np}{n-p}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent. In this short note we address the question of non-existence for non-trivial solutions to the $(p,q)$-Laplacian problem. In particular we show the non-existence of non-trivial solutions to the problem by using a method based on Pohozaev identity.
