The dual Minkowski problem for $q$-torsional rigidity

Abstract

The Minkowski problem for torsional rigidity ($2$-torsional rigidity) was firstly studied by Colesanti and Fimiani \cite{CA} using variational method. Moreover, Hu \cite{HJ00} also studied this problem by the method of curvature flows and obtained the existence of smooth even solutions. In addition, the smooth non-even solutions to the Orlicz Minkowski problem $w. r. t$ $q$-torsional rigidity were given by Zhao et al. \cite{ZX} through a Gauss curvature flow. The dual curvature measure and the dual Minkowski problem were first posed and considered by Huang, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang in \cite{HY}. The dual Minkowski problem is a very important problem, which has greatly contributed to the development of the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and extended the other types dual Minkowski problem. To the best of our knowledge, the dual Minkowski problem $w. r. t$ ($q$) torsional rigidity is still open because the dual ($q$) torsional measure is blank. Thus, it is a natural problem to consider the dual Minkowski problem for ($q$) torsional rigidity. In this paper, we introduce the $p$-th dual $q$-torsional measure and propose the $p$-th dual Minkowski problem for $q$-torsional rigidity with $q>1$. Then we confirm the existence of smooth even solutions for $p<n$ ($p\neq 0$) to the $p$-th dual Minkowski problem for $q$-torsional rigidity by method of a Gauss curvature flow. Specially, we also obtain the smooth non-even solutions with $p<0$ to this problem.

Quantum propagation for Berezin-Toeplitz operators

We describe the asymptotic behaviour of the quantum propagator generated by a Berezin-Toeplitz operator with real-valued principal symbol. We also give precise asymptotics for smoothed spectral projectors associated with the operator in the autonomous case; this leads us to introducting quantum states associated with immersed Lagrangian submanifolds. These descriptions involve geometric quantities of two origins, coming from lifts of the Hamiltonian flow to the prequantum bundle and the canonical bundle respectively. The latter are the main contribution of this article and are connected to the Maslov indices appearing in trace formulas, as will be explained in a forthcoming paper.

Classification of compact manifolds with positive isotropic curvature

We show the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or a quotient manifold of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$ by a cocompact discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$, or a connected sum of a finite number of such manifolds. This extends previous works of Brendle and Chen-Tang-Zhu, and improves a work of Huang. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on compact orbifolds, with the help of the ambient isotopy uniqueness of closed tubular neighborhoods of an isolated singular point in an orbifold.

Willmore surfaces in 4-dimensional conformal manifolds

This paper is dedicated to the exploration of the conformal Willmore functional for surfaces within 4-dimensional conformal manifolds. We provide a detailed calculation of both the first and second variations, and present the Euler-Lagrange equation of this functional in a conformally invariant form. Utilizing the second variation formula we derived, we demonstrate that the Clifford torus in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ is strictly Willmore-stable. This finding strongly supports the conjecture proposed by Montiel and Urbano [J. reine angew. Math. 546 2002, 139-154], which posits that the Clifford torus in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ minimizes the Willmore functional among all tori. Moreover, by applying our formula to complex curves in $\mathbb{C}P^2$, we establish that the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator is at least 12. In the context of 4-dimensional locally symmetric spaces, we construct several holomorphic differentials to show that among all minimal 2-spheres, only those super-minimal ones can be Willmore.
