Scale-Separated Curvature Estimates for Strongly Stable Hypersurfaces

Abstract

The Schoen--Simon--Yau integral curvature estimate for stable minimal hypersurfaces is usually closed by Young's inequality. We give an alternative proof based on a single Hölder factorization. The choices \(f\mapsto f^{1+q}\) in the gradient estimate and \(ϕ=u^{1+q}f^{1+q}\) in the stability inequality yield an explicit \(L^{4+2q}\)-estimate without negative powers of the cutoff. For strongly stable constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces, with \(u=|\mathring A|\), the same factorization gives an estimate in which the cutoff scale and the mean-curvature scale remain separate. In the supercritical range \(2+q>n/2\), the Michael--Simon Sobolev inequality and Moser iteration turn this integral estimate into a quantitative pointwise bound. Its small-energy form is an \(\varepsilon\)-regularity statement.

Curvature equations coupling symmetric tensors with a metric

There are described hierarchies of equations coupling a metric with a trace-free tensor having prescribed symmetries and in the kernel of certain generalized gradients. These specialize, when the tensor vanishes identically, to the usual hierarchy of constant sectional curvature (projectively flat), Einstein, and constant scalar curvature. At the Ricci curvature level these equations are formal analogues of the Einstein-Maxwell and supergravity equations that couple differential forms with a metric. The particular cases coupling a metric with trace-free symmetric tensors satisfying the Codazzi or conformal Killing equations are studied in detail. Examples of solutions are obtained from mean curvature zero immersions, affine spheres, isoparametric hypersurfaces, and related algebraic constructions. The formalism yields a hierarchy of curvature equations for statistical structures. There are deduced constraints on the scalar curvature of the metric occurring in a solution that generalize classical results of Simons, for mean curvature zero hypersurfaces in spheres, and of Calabi, for hyperbolic affine spheres.

The signature of geometrically decomposable aspherical 4-manifolds

We construct examples of geometrically decomposable aspherical 4-manifolds with non-zero signature. We show that all such 4-manifolds satisfy the inequality (of Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau type) $χ\geq 3|σ|$. We also construct examples attaining the equality that are non-geometric and have non-zero signature. Finally, we prove that for higher graph 4-manifolds, with complex-hyperbolic vertices, the strict inequality always holds. Moreover, we construct infinitely many examples of higher graph 4-manifolds with non-zero signature and prove that the inequality is strict and sharp in this class.

Proper affine deformations of positive representations

We define for every positive Anosov representation of a nonabelian free group into $\mathrm{SO}(2n,2n-1)$ a family of $\mathbb{R}^{4n-1}$-valued cocycles which induce proper affine actions on $\mathbb{R}^{4n-1}$. We construct fundamental domains in $\mathbb{R}^{4n-1}$ bounded by generalized crooked planes for these affine actions, and deduce that the quotient manifolds are homeomorphic to handlebodies.
