Abstract

Considering an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with a boundary that satisfies a Serrin-type problem, we prove sharp upper and lower bounds for the area of such a boundary. Then, we present the main result of this paper: a divergence formula for a special vector field on a given Riemannian manifold. This divergence formula is closely related to sub-static manifolds and related metrics, e.g., $V$-static, static, and electrostatic manifolds. We show Minkowski-type inequalities for $V$-sub-static manifolds under different Neumann boundary conditions. Moreover, we prove an area-charge inequality for compact (and noncompact) electrostatic manifolds. The main application of the divergence formula presented in this work generalizes the classical result of Boucher--Gibbons--Horowitz: we prove that an asymptotically hyperbolic space of a static spacetime satisfying the null convergence condition must be the hyperbolic space.

On the space of harmonic forms and Schr\"odinger heat equations on noncompact manifolds

It is known that on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, the space of harmonic 1-forms of polynomial growth is finite-dimensional. In this paper, we extend this finiteness phenomenon to some manifolds whose Ricci curvature is allowed to be negative. More precisely, under a scale-invariant $L^...

The anisotropic Calder\'on problem for Riemannian metrics at high fixed frequency

We study an inverse boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation on a smooth compact non-trapping Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary. We prove that, given two such metrics, for sufficiently large but fixed frequency $\lambda$, equality of their Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps implies equality of their len...

Regularity and compactness theory of stable free-boundary minimal hypersurfaces

We establish the free-boundary version of Schoen-Simon's regularity and compactness theory for stable minimal hypersurfaces in a complete $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold-with-boundary, following the intrinsic PDE scheme introduced by the first-named author. The key step is to prove sheeting theorems in the two...

The isoperimetric inequality and CMC hypersurfaces in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds

We show that the sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds for domains in complete simply connected Riemannian $n$-manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature, $3\leq n\leq9$, which establishes the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in these dimensions. The main step is a sharp inequality for constant-mean-curvature hype...

Renormalized Invariant Manifolds

Invariant manifold theory for partial differential equations (PDEs) is technically challenging as we often lack spectral gaps. Motivated by recent progress using renormalization in various areas of mathematics, we introduce a spectral renormalization method for semilinear parabolic equations that creates an artificial...

A geometric approach to nonlocal 2-Hessian equations

We study a nonlocal 2-Hessian equation, given by an infimum of linear deformations of the fractional Laplacian, that is, $\inf_{A\in {A}_2}\Delta^s (u\circ A)(A^{-1}x)$. We characterize the class of coefficient matrices ${A}_2$, which determines the behavior of the operator, and provide a detailed geometric description...
