We use the general theory developed in our article [Čap A., Melnick K., Essential Killing fields of parabolic geometries, Indiana Univ. Math. J. (in press)], in the setting of parabolic geometries to reprove known results on special infinitesimal automorphisms of projective and conformal geometries.
We give a condition of essential self-adjointness for magnetic Schrödinger operators on non-compact Riemannian manifolds with a given positive smooth measure which is fixed independently of the metric. This condition is related to the classical completeness of a related classical hamiltonian without magnetic field. The main result generalizes the result by I. Oleinik [29,30,31], a shorter and more transparent proof of which was provided by the author in [41]. The main idea, as in [41], consists...
The -convex functions are the viscosity subsolutions to the fully nonlinear elliptic equations , where is the elementary symmetric function of order , , of the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix . For example, is the Laplacian and is the real Monge-Ampère operator det , while -convex functions and -convex functions are subharmonic and convex in the classical sense, respectively. In this paper, we establish an approximation theorem for negative -convex functions, and give several...
The free motion of a thin elastic linear membrane is described, in a simplyfied model, by a second order linear homogeneous hyperbolic system of partial differential equations whose spatial part is the Laplace Beltrami operator acting on a Riemannian 2-dimensional manifold with boundary. We adapt the estimates of the spectrum of the Laplacian obtained in the last years by several authors for compact closed Riemannian manifolds. To make so, we use the standard technique of the doubled manifold to...
In the first part of this paper, we study the best constant involving the L2 norm in Wente's inequality. We prove that this best constant is universal for any Riemannian surface with boundary, or respectively, for any Riemannian surface without boundary. The second part concerns the study of critical points of the associate energy functional, whose Euler equation corresponds to H-surfaces. We will establish the existence of a non-trivial critical point for a plan domain with small holes.
À l’aide de la théorie des itinéraires et des suites de tricotage, nous étudions la conjugaison topologique des fonctions unimodales. Nous introduisons la notion de conjugaison macroscopique, caractérisée par l’égalité des suites de tricotage. Puis nous présentons un théorème de classification des fonctions unimodales. Pour illustrer ces résultats, nous montrons que l’ensemble des solutions de l’équation de Feigenbaum contient une infinité de classes topologiques.
