Harmonicity of vector fields on four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces

Giovanni Calvaruso (2012)

Open Mathematics

Let (M = G/H;g)denote a four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric space and g = m + h the corresponding decomposition of the Lie algebra g of G. We completely determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields belonging to m. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. Vector fields defining harmonic maps are also classified, and the energy of these vector fields is explicitly calculated.

Hausdorff measures and the Morse-Sard theorem.

Carlos Gustavo T. de A. Moreira (2001)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let F : U ⊂ Rn → Rm be a differentiable function and p < m an integer. If k ≥ 1 is an integer, α ∈ [0, 1] and F ∈ Ck+(α), if we set Cp(F) = {x ∈ U | rank(Df(x)) ≤ p} then the Hausdorff measure of dimension (p + (n-p)/(k+α)) of F(Cp(F)) is zero.

Heat flows for extremal Kähler metrics

Santiago R. Simanca (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Let ( M , J , Ω ) be a closed polarized complex manifold of Kähler type. Let G be the maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group of ( M , J ) . On the space of Kähler metrics that are invariant under G and represent the cohomology class Ω , we define a flow equation whose critical points are the extremal metrics,i.e.those that minimize the square of the L 2 -norm of the scalar curvature. We prove that the dynamical system in this space of metrics defined by the said flow does not have periodic orbits, and that its...

Higher-order phase transitions with line-tension effect

Bernardo Galvão-Sousa (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of the liquid. This problem, also known as the liquid-drop problem, was studied by Modica in [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. non linéaire 4 (1987) 487–512], and in a different form by Alberti et al. in [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.u is a scalar density function and...
