Abstract

Given a closed submanifold, or a compact regular domain, in euclidean space, we consider the Riesz energy defined as the double integral of some power of the distance between pairs of points. When this integral diverges, we compare two different regularization techniques (Hadamard's finite part and analytic continuation), and show that they give essentially the same result. We prove that some of these energies are invariant under Moebius transformations, thus giving a generalization to higher dimensions of the Moebius energy of knots.

Ancient mean curvature flow asymptotic to a minimal quadratic cone

In this paper, we prove that a smooth, properly embedded ancient mean curvature flow that is asymptotic to an $O(n)\times O(m)$ symmetric minimal quadratic cone for $n +m \geq 10$, and lies on one side of the cone has to have unique asymptotics in the parabolic region. When additionally assuming mean convexity, we upgrade unique asymptotics to full uniqueness, and show that such flow has to be a stationary flow given by one of the leaves of the Hardt-Simon foliation. This is the first rigidity/unique asymptotics theory for ancient mean curvature flow with a $\textbf{singular minimal cone as the asymptotic model}$.

Log-Concavity of First Dirichlet Eigenfunctions on $\mathbb{CP}^2$

We study the log-concavity property of first Dirichlet eigenfunctions on domains in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. For every smooth $1$-convex domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{CP}^2$, we prove the quantitative estimate \[ \nabla^2(-\log u) > \max\left\{ψ(s),\frac85\right\}g, \text{ where } ψ(|\grad f|^2) = \frac{s}{\sqrt{1+s}}-\log(1+s), \] for its first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$. In particular, $u$ is strictly log-concave. As consequences, we obtain a uniform convexity estimate for the regular level sets of $u$ and the fundamental gap bound $λ_2-λ_1>46/5$.

Pólya--Szegö Inequality on Submanifolds of Riemannian Manifolds with Nonnegative Curvature and Applications

We prove a Pólya--Szegö inequality for functions defined on an $n$-dimensional submanifold $Σ$ of a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature. The associated rearrangement is a Schwarz rearrangement on $\mathbb R^n$, and the constant depends on the $L^n$-norm of the mean curvature of $Σ$ and an isoperimetric quantity obtained by Brendle. As applications, we derive Sobolev, Log-Sobolev, Hardy, and Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities on submanifolds of arbitrary codimension under a small total mean curvature assumption. In the critical Sobolev case, we obtain Moser--Trudinger inequalities on finite-volume submanifolds and exact growth inequalities on submanifolds with infinite volume. Under suitable assumptions, the Pólya--Szegö constant equals one; in this case, the critical constants in the inequalities coincide with the sharp Euclidean ones.
