Abstract

Given a manifold $M$ with an asymptotically cylindrical end, we construct the parametrix for the shifted Laplace operator $Δ_g + 1$ on the blown-up $b$-double space $M_b^2$. We will review the geometry of manifold with a cylindrical end and construct the inverse directly via separation of variables, which motivates the parametrix construction. Next, we review the mapping properties and show how to get elliptic regularity from the mapping properties of the parametrix. Through this explicit example, we hope this paper provides another reference for the theory of $b$-operators introduced by Melrose \cite{Mel93}.

The Minkowski problem with respect to the k-torsional rigidity associated with a k-Hessian equation

P. Salani [Adv. Math., 229 (2012)] introduced the $k$-torsional rigidity associated with a $k$-Hessian equation and obtained the Brunn-Minkowski inequalities $w.r.t.$ the torsional rigidity in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We first construct, in the present paper, a Hadamard variational formula for the $k$-torsional rigidity with $1\leq k\leq n-1$, then we can deduce a $k$-torsional measure from the Hadamard variational formula. Based on the $k$-torsional measure, we propose the Minkowski problem for the $k$-torsional rigidity which can be equivalently converted to a nonlinear partial differential equation in smooth case: \begin{align}\label{eq00} f(x)=τ|Du(ν_Ω^{-1}(x))|^{k+1}σ_{n-k}(h_{ij}+hδ_{ij}), \end{align} where $τ>0$ is a constant, $f$ is a positive smooth function defined on the unit sphere and $σ_{n-k}$ is the $(n-k)$-th elementary symmetric function of the principal curvature radii. Furthermore, we achieve a smooth solution to the Minkowski problem for the $k$-torsional rigidity using an appropriate Gauss curvature-type flow. A key ingredient of the argument for the existence of solutions to Gauss curvature-type flows is the uniform lower bound estimation given by the proof by contradiction in the $C^0$ estimation. The core contribution of the proof by contradiction is that it eliminates the additional conditions that the function $f$ must satisfy when studying such problems, such as symmetry by C. Chen, Y. Huang \& Y, Zhao [Math. Ann., 373(2019)], and by C. Haberl, E. Lutwak, D. Yang \& G. Y. Zhang [Adv. Math., 224(2010)] or having positive upper and lower bounds by Y. Liu, J. Lu [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 373(2020)].

Biharmonic Steklov problems with Neumann boundary conditions and spectral inequalities on differential forms

We introduce a biharmonic Steklov problem with Neumann-type boundary conditions on differential forms and show that it is well-posed. We prove the existence of a discrete spectrum for this problem and provide associated variational characterizations of its eigenvalues. We establish eigenvalue estimates known as Kuttler-Sigillito inequalities, relating the eigenvalues of this problem to those of the Steklov, Dirichlet and Neumann problems, as well as the biharmonic Steklov problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions on differential forms.

Geometric eigenvalue estimates of Kuttler-Sigillito type on differential forms

We introduce a new biharmonic Steklov problem on differential forms with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions and show that it is elliptic. We prove the existence of a discrete spectrum for this problem and give variational characterizations for eigenvalues associated to it. We establish eigenvalue estimates known as Kuttler-Sigillito inequalities, which connect the eigenvalues of different problems on differential forms with curvature quantities on the manifold.
