Long-Time Behaviour for the Brownian Heat Kernel on a Compact Riemannian Manifold and Bismut’s Integration-by-Parts Formula
2007
We give a probabilistic proof of the classical long-time behaviour of the heat kernel on a compact manifold by using Bismut’s integration-by-parts formula.
A blow-up result for a nonlinear wave equation on manifolds: the critical case
2021
We consider a inhomogeneous semilinear wave equation on a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold (Formula presented.) of dimension (Formula presented.), without boundary. The reaction exhibits the combined effects of a critical term and of a forcing term. Using a rescaled test function argument together with appropriate estimates, we show that the equation admits no global solution. Moreover, in the special case when (Formula presented.), our result improves the existing literature. Namely, our main result is valid without assuming that the initial values are compactly supported.
The Calderón problem for the conformal Laplacian
2022
We consider a conformally invariant version of the Calderón problem, where the objective is to determine the conformal class of a Riemannian manifold with boundary from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the conformal Laplacian. The main result states that a locally conformally real-analytic manifold in dimensions can be determined in this way, giving a positive answer to an earlier conjecture [LU02, Conjecture 6.3]. The proof proceeds as in the standard Calderón problem on a real-analytic Riemannian manifold, but new features appear due to the conformal structure. In particular, we introduce a new coordinate system that replaces harmonic coordinates when determining the conformal class in a …
Spectral multipliers and wave equation for sub-Laplacians: lower regularity bounds of Euclidean type
2018
Let $\mathscr{L}$ be a smooth second-order real differential operator in divergence form on a manifold of dimension $n$. Under a bracket-generating condition, we show that the ranges of validity of spectral multiplier estimates of Mihlin--H\"ormander type and wave propagator estimates of Miyachi--Peral type for $\mathscr{L}$ cannot be wider than the corresponding ranges for the Laplace operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. The result applies to all sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups and more general sub-Riemannian manifolds, without restrictions on the step. The proof hinges on a Fourier integral representation for the wave propagator associated with $\mathscr{L}$ and nondegeneracy properties of the sub…
Kinemaattinen inversio-ongelma pallosymmetrisellä monistolla
2017
Tutkielman pääaiheena on maanjäristysaaltoihin ja Maan sisärakenteen tutkimiseen liittyvä käänteinen kinemaattinen ongelma. Maapalloa mallinnetaan kolmiulotteisella kompaktilla reunallisella monistolla \(\bar{B}^3(0, R)\), jonka säde normitetaan ykköseksi \(R=1\). Aaltorintamat kulkevat pitkin geodeeseja, jotka sijaitsevat kokonaan avoimessa pallossa \(B^3(0, 1)\) lukuun ottamatta päätepisteitä, jotka ovat reunalla \(S^2(0, 1)\). Symmetrioiden nojalla tarkastelu voidaan siirtää tasoon \(\mathbb{R}^2\), jossa riittää tutkia kiekon \(\bar{B}^2(0, 1)\) geodeeseja. Äänennopeus \(v=v(r)\) oletetaan isotrooppiseksi ja aidosti positiiviseksi \(C^{1,1}([0, 1])\)-funktioksi, jolle \(v^{\prime}(0)=0\…
Eulerin summia
2014
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella menetelmiä joilla voidaan laskea niin kutsuttuja Eulerin summia. Eulerin summia ovat Riemannin zeeta-funktion arvoja parillisissa ja positiivisissa kokonaislukupisteissä. Vaikka kyseessä on ääretön joukko äärettömiä summia, niin Eulerin summien laskemiseksi on mahdollista johtaa eksplisiittinen kaava. Tämä kaava johdetaan tutkielmassa kahdella eri tavalla: Bernoullin lukuja ja toisaalta Fourier-analyysin tuloksia hyödyntäen. Lisäksi tutkielmassa tarkastellaan muutamia menetelmiä, joilla voidaan laskea yksittäisiä Eulerin summia. Huomionarvoinen maininta on, että vaikka mielivaltainen äärellinen Eulerin osasumma on rationaalinen, niin kaikki Eule…
The Radó–Kneser–Choquet theorem for $p$-harmonic mappings between Riemannian surfaces
2020
In the planar setting the Rad\'o-Kneser-Choquet theorem states that a harmonic map from the unit disk onto a Jordan domain bounded by a convex curve is a diffeomorphism provided that the boundary mapping is a homeomorphism. We prove the injectivity criterion of Rad\'o-Kneser-Choquet for $p$-harmonic mappings between Riemannian surfaces. In our proof of the injecticity criterion we approximate the $p$-harmonic map with auxiliary mappings that solve uniformly elliptic systems. We prove that each auxiliary mapping has a positive Jacobian by a homotopy argument. We keep the maps injective all the way through the homotopy with the help of the minimum principle for a certain subharmonic expressio…
The Two-Jacobian Scheme for Systems of Conservation Laws

A Stieltjes Approach to Static Hedges
2014
Static hedging of complicated payoff structures by standard instruments becomes increasingly popular in finance. The classical approach is developed for quite regular functions, while for less regular cases, generalized functions and approximation arguments are used. In this note, we discuss the regularity conditions in the classical decomposition formula due to P. Carr and D. Madan (in Jarrow ed, Volatility, pp. 417–427, Risk Publ., London, 1998) if the integrals in this formula are interpreted as Lebesgue integrals with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, we show that if we replace these integrals by Lebesgue–Stieltjes integrals, the family of representable functions can be exte…
New Types of Jacobian-Free Approximate Riemann Solvers for Hyperbolic Systems
2017
We present recent advances in PVM (Polynomial Viscosity Matrix) methods based on internal approximations to the absolute value function. These solvers only require a bound on the maximum wave speed, so no spectral decomposition is needed. Moreover, they can be written in Jacobian-free form, in which only evaluations of the physical flux are used. This is particularly interesting when considering systems with complex Jacobians, as the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) equations. The proposed solvers have also been extended to the case of approximate DOT (Dumbser-Osher-Toro) methods, which can be regarded as simple and efficient approximations to the classical Osher-Solomon method.
