We obtain inequalities between the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator on a compact domain Ω of a submanifold M in 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 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.
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.
