The gap phenomenon in the dimension study of finite type systems

Boris Kruglikov (2012)

Open Mathematics

Several examples of gaps (lacunes) between dimensions of maximal and submaximal symmetric models are considered, which include investigation of number of independent linear and quadratic integrals of metrics and counting the symmetries of geometric structures and differential equations. A general result clarifying this effect in the case when the structure is associated to a vector distribution, is proposed.

The gaps in the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator

Haizhong Li, Linlin Su (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We obtain inequalities between the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator on a compact domain Ω of a submanifold M in R N with boundary ∂Ω, which generalize many existing inequalities for the Laplacian on a bounded domain of a Euclidean space. We also establish similar inequalities for a closed minimal submanifold in the unit sphere, which generalize and improve Yang-Yau’s result.

The generalized de Rham-Hodge theory aspects of Delsarte-Darboux type transformations in multidimension

Anatoliy Samoilenko, Yarema Prykarpatsky, Anatoliy Prykarpatsky (2005)

Open Mathematics

The differential-geometric and topological structure of Delsarte transmutation operators and their associated Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko type eqautions are studied along with classical Dirac type operator and its multidimensional affine extension, related with selfdual Yang-Mills eqautions. The construction of soliton-like solutions to the related set of nonlinear dynamical system is discussed.

The heat equation on manifolds as a gradient flow in the Wasserstein space

Matthias Erbar (2010)

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

We study the gradient flow for the relative entropy functional on probability measures over a riemannian manifold. To this aim we present a notion of a riemannian structure on the Wasserstein space. If the Ricci curvature is bounded below we establish existence and contractivity of the gradient flow using a discrete approximation scheme. Furthermore we show that its trajectories coincide with solutions to the heat equation.
