Boundary volume and length spectra of Riemannian manifolds: what the middle degree Hodge spectrum doesn't reveal

Carolyn S. Gordon, Juan Pablo Rossetti (2003)

Annales de l'Institut Fourier

Let M be a 2 m -dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on m -forms does not determine whether the manifold has boundary, nor does it determine the lengths of the closed geodesics. Among the many examples are a projective space and a hemisphere that have the same Hodge spectrum on 1- forms, and hyperbolic surfaces, mutually isospectral on 1-forms, with different injectivity radii. The Hodge m -spectrum also does not distinguish orbifolds from manifolds....

Bounded almost global solutions for non hamiltonian semi-linear Klein-Gordon equations with radial data on compact revolution hypersurfaces

Jean-Marc Delort, Jérémie Szeftel (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper is devoted to the proof of almost global existence results for Klein-Gordon equations on compact revolution hypersurfaces with non-Hamiltonian nonlinearities, when the data are smooth, small and radial. The method combines normal forms with the fact that the eigenvalues associated to radial eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on such manifolds are simple and satisfy convenient asymptotic expansions.

Brownian motion and random walks on manifolds

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.

Brownian motion and transient groups

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper I consider M ˜ M a covering of a Riemannian manifold M . I prove that Green’s function exists on M ˜ if any and only if the symmetric translation invariant random walks on the covering group G are transient (under the assumption that M is compact).

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

Koléhè A. Coulibaly-Pasquier (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We generalize brownian motion on a riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent laplacians (inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested in the Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics. We give a notion of parallel transport along this brownian motion, and establish a generalization of the Dohrn–Guerra or damped...

Bubbling along boundary geodesics near the second critical exponent

Manuel del Pino, Monica Musso, Frank Pacard (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The role of the second critical exponent p = ( n + 1 ) / ( n - 3 ) , the Sobolev critical exponent in one dimension less, is investigated for the classical Lane–Emden–Fowler problem Δ u + u p = 0 , u > 0 under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a domain Ω in n with bounded, smooth boundary. Given Γ , a geodesic of the boundary with negative inner normal curvature we find that for p = ( n + 1 ) / ( n - 3 - ε ) , there exists a solution u ε such that | u ε | 2 converges weakly to a Dirac measure on Γ as ε 0 + , provided that Γ is nondegenerate in the sense of second variations of...
