The role of the mean curvature in nonlinear p-Laplacian problems with critical exponent

Abstract

We deal with critical nonlinear problems involving the p-Laplacian operator on bounded domains with mixed boundary conditions. We prove the existence of least energy solutions. Our work shows a significant difference between the semi-linear case p = 2 and the quasilinear case for the existence results. Moreover, neither the results for the Laplacian can be extended to the p-Laplacian, nor the method for the p-Laplacian can apply to the Laplacian setting. Additionally, the cases (p < 2 and p > 2) present different challenges and need to be studied separately. More precisely, when p > 2, the effect of the geometry of the boundary conditions dominates that one of the potential, whereas for p < 2 the opposite behavior holds true.

Futaki invariant on Hopf manifolds

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in Kähler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes on Hopf manifolds.

Remarks on potential functions of noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds

In this article, we study the set of potential functions on noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that the space of all positive potential functions on a three-dimensional noncompact quasi-Einstein manifold has dimension at most two, and that equality holds if and only if the manifold is isometric to a product $B\times\mathbb{R}$, where $B$ is a $λ$-Einstein surface or one of the examples obtained by L. Berard Bergery and described in Besse's book. Moreover, we prove that any asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional quasi-Einstein manifold with $λ=0$ is necessarily Ricci-flat.

Adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes

Higher gauge theory for non-abelian structure 2-groups faces significant challenges when extending beyond the fake-flat sector, which suffers from limited applicability in physical models. A promising resolution involves equipping 2-groups with additional structure, known as adjustments. We present a comprehensive theory of adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes, classified by Saemann's adjusted version of non-abelian differential cohomology. This theory enables, in particular, a new coordinate-independent formulation of Tellez-Dominguez' lifting theorem, establishing a correspondence between adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes and connections on abelian bundle 2-gerbes.
