AbstractWe investigate strong maximum (and minimum) principles for fully nonlinear second-order equations on Riemannian manifolds that are non-totally degenerate and satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. Our results apply to a large class of nonlinear operators, among which Pucci’s extremal operators, some singular operators such as those modeled on the p- and $$\infty $$ ∞ -Laplacian, and mean curvature-type problems. As a byproduct, we establish new strong comparison principles for some second-order uniformly elliptic problems when the manifold has nonnegative sectional curvature.

AbstractIn this paper, as a suitable application of the well-known generalized maximum principle of Omori–Yau, we obtain uniqueness results concerning to complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature immersed in a Robertson–Walker (RW) spacetime. As an application of such uniqueness results for the case of vertical graphs in a RW spacetime, we also get non-parametric rigidity results.

We consider weak solutions of second-order partial differential equations of Kolmogorov–Fokker–Planck-type with measurable coefficients in the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a symmetric uniformly positive definite matrix with bounded measurable coefficients; [Formula: see text] and the components of the vector [Formula: see text] are bounded and measurable functions. We give a geometric statement of the Harnack inequality recently proved by Golse et al. As a corollary, we obtain a strong maximum principle.
