Translating Solitons Over Cartan-Hadamard Manifolds
2020
We prove existence results for entire graphical translators of the mean curvature flow (the so-called bowl solitons) on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. We show that the asymptotic behaviour of entire solitons depends heavily on the curvature of the manifold, and that there exist also bounded solutions if the curvature goes to minus infinity fast enough. Moreover, it is even possible to solve the asymptotic Dirichlet problem under certain conditions.
Prescribing the behaviour of geodesics in negative curvature
2010
Given a family of (almost) disjoint strictly convex subsets of a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold M, such as balls, horoballs, tubular neighborhoods of totally geodesic submanifolds, etc, the aim of this paper is to construct geodesic rays or lines in M which have exactly once an exactly prescribed (big enough) penetration in one of them, and otherwise avoid (or do not enter too much in) them. Several applications are given, including a definite improvement of the unclouding problem of [PP1], the prescription of heights of geodesic lines in a finite volume such M, or of spiraling times around a closed geodesic in a closed such M. We also prove that the Hall ray phenomenon desc…
Analysis on free Riemannian path spaces
2005
Abstract The gradient operator is defined on the free path space with reference measure P μ , the law of the Brownian motion on the base manifold with initial distribution μ, where μ has strictly positive density w.r.t. the volume measure. The formula of integration by parts is established for the underlying directional derivatives, which implies the closability of the gradient operator so that it induces a conservative Dirichlet form on the free path space. The log-Sobolev inequality for this Dirichlet form is established and, consequently, the transportation cost inequality is obtained for the associated intrinsic distance.
Stochastic anticipative calculus on the path space over a compact Riemannian manifold
1998
Abstract In this paper, we shall first give another expression for Cruzeiro-Malliavin structure equation, by means of the Skorohod integral. The torsion tensor with respect to the Markovian connection used in [CF] is computed. This is the key step to establish a Stroock-like formula of commutation on the derivative of the Skorohod integral, which enables us to prove an Ito formula. As an application, we shall give a maximal inequality for Skorohod integrals following [AN2].
Heat semi-group and generalized flows on complete Riemannian manifolds
2011
Abstract We will use the heat semi-group to regularize functions and vector fields on Riemannian manifolds in order to develop Di Perna–Lions theory in this setting. Malliavinʼs point of view of the bundle of orthonormal frames on Brownian motions will play a fundamental role. As a byproduct we will construct diffusion processes associated to an elliptic operator with singular drift.
Some Remarks on Calabi-Yau Manifolds
2010
Here we focus on the geometry of the “mirror quintic” Y and its generalizations. In particular, we illustrate how to obtain new birational models of Y . The article under review can be regarded as an announcement of or supplement to results in forthcoming papers of the author and his collaborators concerning quintic threefolds, the Dwork pencil, and its natural generalization to higher dimensions [G. Bini, “Quotients of hypersurfaces in weighted projective space”, preprint, arxiv.org/ abs/0905.2099, Adv. Geom., to appear; G. Bini, B. van Geemen and T. L. Kelly, “Mirror quintics, discrete symmetries and Shioda maps”, preprint, arxiv.org/abs/0809. 1791, J. Algebraic Geom., to appear; G. Bini …
A rigidity theorem for the pair ${\cal q}{\Bbb C} P^n$ (complex hyperquadric, complex projective space)
1999
Given a compact Kahler manifold M of real dimension 2n, let P be either a compact complex hypersurface of M or a compact totally real submanifold of dimension n. Let \(\cal q\) (resp. \({\Bbb R} P^n\)) be the complex hyperquadric (resp. the totally geodesic real projective space) in the complex projective space \({\Bbb C} P^n\) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4\( \lambda \). We prove that if the Ricci and some (n-1)-Ricci curvatures of M (and, when P is complex, the mean absolute curvature of P) are bounded from below by some special constants and volume (P) / volume (M) \(\leq \) volume (\(\cal q\))/ volume \(({\Bbb C} P^n)\) (resp. \(\leq \) volume \(({\Bbb R} P^n)\) / volume …

Conjugacy technique is applied to analysis asymptotic equivalence of nonautonomous linear and semilinear difference equations in Banach space.
Fl�chen Beschr�nkter Mittlerer Kr�mmung in Einer Dreidimensionalen Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit
1973
In recent papers HILDEBRANDT [11] and HARTH [5] proved the existence of solutions of the problem of Plateau for surfaces of bounded mean curvature with fixed and free boundaries in E3 and for minimal surfaces with free boundaries in a Riemannian manifold, respectively. Here their methods will be combined to solve the problem of Plateau for surfaces of bounded mean curvature in a Riemannian manifold. This will be done for fixed and free boundaries. Moreover, isoperimetric inequalities for the solutions will be given.
Mean curvature flow of graphs in warped products
2012
Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold which either is compact or has a pole, and let φ be a positive smooth function on M . In the warped product M ×φ R, we study the flow by the mean curvature of a locally Lipschitz continuous graph on M and prove that the flow exists for all time and that the evolving hypersurface is C∞ for t > 0 and is a graph for all t. Moreover, under certain conditions, the flow has a well defined limit.
