Linear Elliptic Problem

Let (Mn, g) be an n—dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary with n > 2. In this paper we study the uniqueness of metrics in the conformai class of the metric g having the same scalar curvature in M, dM, and the same mean curvature on the boundary of M, dM. We prove the equivalence of some uniqueness results replacing the hypothesis on the first Neumann eigenvalue of a linear elliptic problem associated to the problem of conformai deformations of metrics for one about the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of that problem. Keywords: Conformal metrics, scalar curvature, mean curvature.

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.

AbstractIn this paper we study smooth metric measure spaces with boundary via the Bakry–Émery curvature and the weighted mean curvature of the boundary. We establish the weighted Laplacian comparison theorems and the upper bound estimates of the distance from any point of the manifold to its boundary. As applications, we derive lower bound estimates for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue.

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension [Formula: see text]. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of [Formula: see text] or the manifold is spin and some other remaining ones left by Escobar. Furthermore, in the positive Yamabe constant case, by normalizing the scalar curvature to be [Formula: see text], there exists a sequence of conformal metrics such that their constant boundary mean curvatures go to [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we will consider 4-dimensional manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and constant mean curvature (CMC) boundary. For compact manifolds with boundary, the influence of the nonnegativity of the region scalar curvature to the geometry of the boundary is considered. Some inequalities are established for manifolds with inner boundary and outer boundary. Even for compact manifolds without inner boundary, we can obtain some inequalities involving the geometric quantities of the boundary and give some obstruction. We also discuss the 4-dimensional asymptotically flat extension of the 3-dimensional Bartnik data with CMC boundary and provide the upper bound of the Bartnik mass.

Abstract The paper is concerned with the Neumann eigenvalues for second-order Sturm–Liouville difference equations. By analyzing the new discriminant function, we show the interlacing properties between the periodic, antiperiodic, and Neumann eigenvalues. Moreover, when the potential sequence is symmetric and symmetric monotonic, we show the order relation between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue and the second Neumann eigenvalue, and prove that the minimum of the first Neumann eigenvalue gap is attained at the constant potential sequence.

AbstractWe extend the Lyapunov–Schmidt analysis of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres in the work of S. Brendle and the second-named author [S. Brendle and M. Eichmair, Isoperimetric and Weingarten surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold, J. Differential Geom. 94 2013, 3, 387–407] to the “far-off-center” regime and to include general Schwarzschild asymptotics. We obtain sharp existence and non-existence results for large stable constant mean curvature spheres that depend delicately on the behavior of scalar curvature at infinity.
