Stability results for Harnack inequalities

Alexander Grigor'yan, Laurent Saloff-Coste (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We develop new techniques for proving uniform elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities on weighted Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we prove the stability of the Harnack inequalities under certain non-uniform changes of the weight. We also prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the Harnack inequalities to hold on complete non-compact manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature outside a compact set and a finite first Betti number or just having asymptotically...

Stochastic differential inclusions of Langevin type on Riemannian manifolds

Yuri E. Gliklikh, Andrei V. Obukhovskiĭ (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We introduce and investigate a set-valued analogue of classical Langevin equation on a Riemannian manifold that may arise as a description of some physical processes (e.g., the motion of the physical Brownian particle) on non-linear configuration space under discontinuous forces or forces with control. Several existence theorems are proved.

Stochastic parallel transport and connections of H 2 M

Pedro Catuogno (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we prove that there is a bijective correspondence between connections of H 2 M , the principal bundle of the second order frames of M , and stochastic parallel transport in the tangent space of M . We construct in a direct geometric way a prolongation of connections without torsion of M to connections of H 2 M . We interpret such prolongation in terms of stochastic calculus.

Stochastic Taylor expansions and heat kernel asymptotics

Fabrice Baudoin (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

These notes focus on the applications of the stochastic Taylor expansion of solutions of stochastic differential equations to the study of heat kernels in small times. As an illustration of these methods we provide a new heat kernel proof of the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet theorem.

Strong boundary values : independence of the defining function and spaces of test functions

Jean-Pierre Rosay, Edgar Lee Stout (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

The notion of “strong boundary values” was introduced by the authors in the local theory of hyperfunction boundary values (boundary values of functions with unrestricted growth, not necessarily solutions of a PDE). In this paper two points are clarified, at least in the global setting (compact boundaries): independence with respect to the defining function that defines the boundary, and the spaces of test functions to be used. The proofs rely crucially on simple results in spectral asymptotics.

Structure of second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds

Oihane F. Blanco, Miguel Sánchez, José M. Senovilla (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative R 0 of the curvature tensor R , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product M = M 1 × M 2 where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: M 2 is a Riemannian symmetric space and M 1 is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., R 0 at some point), the curvature tensor turns out to...

Sublinear eigenvalue problems on compact Riemannian manifolds with applications in Emden-Fowler equations

Alexandru Kristály, Vicenţiu Rădulescu (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, with dim M ≥ 3, and f: ℝ → ℝ a continuous function which is sublinear at infinity. By various variational approaches, existence of multiple solutions of the eigenvalue problem - Δ g ω + α ( σ ) ω = K ̃ ( λ , σ ) f ( ω ) , σ ∈ M, ω ∈ H₁²(M), is established for certain eigenvalues λ > 0, depending on further properties of f and on explicit forms of the function K̃. Here, Δ g stands for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,g), and α, K̃ are smooth positive functions. These multiplicity...
