AbstractWe study spaces with a cuspidal (or horn-like) singularity embedded in a smooth Riemannian manifold and analyze the geodesics in these spaces which start at the singularity. This provides a basis for understanding the intrinsic geometry of such spaces near the singularity. We show that these geodesics combine to naturally define an exponential map based at the singularity, but that the behavior of this map can deviate strongly from the behavior of the exponential map based at a smooth point or at a conical singularity: While it is always surjective near the singularity, it may be discontinuous and non-injective on any neighborhood of the singularity. The precise behavior of the exponential map is determined by a function on the link of the singularity which is an invariant of the induced metric. Our methods are based on the Hamiltonian system of geodesic differential equations and on techniques of singular analysis. The results are proved in the more general natural setting of manifolds with boundary carrying a so-called cuspidal metric.

The theory of the systems of partial differential equations which arise in connection with the invariant differential operators on a Riemannian manifold may be developed by methods based on those of potential theory. It is therefore natural to consider in the same context the theory of elliptic differential equations, in particular those which are self-adjoint. Some results for a tensor equation in which appears, in addition to the operator Δ of tensor theory, a matrix or double tensor field defined on the manifold, are here presented. The equation may be writtenin a notation explained below.

AbstractThe aim of this article is to study the Bloch–Kato exponential map and the Perrin-Riou big exponential map purely in terms of$(\varphi , \Gamma )$-modules over the Robba ring. We first generalize the definition of the Bloch–Kato exponential map for all the$(\varphi , \Gamma )$-modules without using Fontaine’s rings${\mathbf{B} }_{\mathrm{crys} } $,${\mathbf{B} }_{\mathrm{dR} } $of$p$-adic periods, and then generalize the construction of the Perrin-Riou big exponential map for all the de Rham$(\varphi , \Gamma )$-modules and prove that this map interpolates our Bloch–Kato exponential map and the dual exponential map. Finally, we prove a theorem concerning the determinant of our big exponential map, which is a generalization of theorem$\delta (V)$of Perrin-Riou. The key ingredients for our study are Pottharst’s theory of the analytic Iwasawa cohomology and Berger’s construction of$p$-adic differential equations associated to de Rham$(\varphi , \Gamma )$-modules.

AbstractIn this paper we look at the performance of trigonometric integrators applied to highly oscillatory differential equations. It is widely known that some of the trigonometric integrators suffer from low-order resonances for particular step sizes. We show here that, in general, trigonometric integrators also suffer from higher-order resonances which can lead to loss of nonlinear stability. We illustrate this with the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem, a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system. We also show that in some cases trigonometric integrators preserve invariant or adiabatic quantities but at the wrong values. We use statistical properties such as time averages to further evaluate the performance of the trigonometric methods and compare the performance with that of the mid-point rule.

AbstractWe develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a “long neck principle” for a compact Riemannian spin n-manifold with boundary X, stating that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)\ge n(n-1)$$ scal ( X ) ≥ n ( n - 1 ) and there is a nonzero degree map into the sphere $$f:X\rightarrow S^n$$ f : X → S n which is strictly area decreasing, then the distance between the support of $$\text {d}f$$ d f and the boundary of X is at most $$\pi /n$$ π / n . This answers, in the spin setting and for strictly area decreasing maps, a question recently asked by Gromov. As a second application, we consider a Riemannian manifold X obtained by removing k pairwise disjoint embedded n-balls from a closed spin n-manifold Y. We show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)>\sigma >0$$ scal ( X ) > σ > 0 and Y satisfies a certain condition expressed in terms of higher index theory, then the radius of a geodesic collar neighborhood of $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is at most $$\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . Finally, we consider the case of a Riemannian n-manifold V diffeomorphic to $$N\times [-1,1]$$ N × [ - 1 , 1 ] , with N a closed spin manifold with nonvanishing Rosenebrg index. In this case, we show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(V)\ge \sigma >0$$ scal ( V ) ≥ σ > 0 , then the distance between the boundary components of V is at most $$2\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ 2 π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . This last constant is sharp by an argument due to Gromov.

We consider McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential equations (MVSDEs), which are SDEs where the drift and diffusion coefficients depend not only on the state of the unknown process but also on its probability distribution. This type of SDEs was studied in statistical physics and represents the natural setting for stochastic mean-field games. We will first discuss questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions under an Osgood type condition improving the well-known Lipschitz case. Then, we derive various stability properties with respect to initial data, coefficients and driving processes, generalizing known results for classical SDEs. Finally, we establish a result on the approximation of the solution of a MVSDE associated to a relaxed control by the solutions of the same equation associated to strict controls. As a consequence, we show that the relaxed and strict control problems have the same value function. This last property improves known results proved for a special class of MVSDEs, where the dependence on the distribution was made via a linear functional.


In the following pages it is proposed to develop ab initio a theory of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems of differential equations. Such solutions are of theoretical importance for the following reason: that whereas the attempt to obtain, for a real Hamiltonian system, solutions valid for all real values of the independent variable leads in general to divergent series, for certain solutions which are formally periodic the series can be proved convergent. In the words of Poincare, “ce qui nous rend ces solutions périodiques si précieuses, c’est qu’elles sont, pour ainsi dire, la seule breche paroù nous puissions essayer de pénétrer dans une place jusqu'ici reputee inabordable. The existing theory of periodic solutions of differential equations was developed by Poincare mainly with reference to the equations of Celestial Mechanics. With a suitable choice of co-ordinates these are of the Hamiltonian form.

AbstractWe consider a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M and give conditions on a compact submanifold K ⊂ M so that the outward normal exponential map off the boundary of K is a diffeomorphism onto M\K. We use this to compactify M and show that pinched negative sectional curvature outside K implies M has a compactification with a well-defined Hölder structure independent of K. The Hölder constant depends on the ratio of the curvature pinching. This extends and generalizes a 1985 result of Anderson and Schoen.
