On Landsberg Unicorns of General $(α,β)$-Type

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the classes of \lq\lq unicorns" of general $(α,β)$-metric types, namely, Landsberg general $(α,β)$-metrics that are non-Berwaldian. We provide explicit solutions for these metrics, including several new classes. Furthermore, we identify and exclude the cases that yield degenerate metrics to guarantee the geometric validity of the established solutions.

A Li-Yau gradient estimate for the Finslerian logarithmic Schrödinger equation

We establish a local Li--Yau type gradient estimate for a nonlinear parabolic equation with logarithmic reaction on a forward complete Finsler metric measure manifold. The coefficients may depend on both space and time. The estimate uses a weighted Ricci curvature lower bound and explicit cutoff bounds for the divergence-form linearized Laplacian. We explain the role of this localization assumption when the reference direction varies with the solution. Applications include a local Harnack inequality for the equation with a potential and an upper bound for positive stationary solutions under a suitable cutoff exhaustion. An appendix gives a variational existence proof for positive bounded initial data, with quantitative bounds on every finite time interval, which is new as far as the authors know.

Submanifolds with boundary in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg Groups

We discuss the notion of submanifolds with boundary with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups and we provide some examples. Eventually, we present a Stokes' Theorem for such submanifolds involving the integration of Rumin's differential forms in Heisenberg groups.

On $q$-convex hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds

We prove that any closed, convex hypersurface in an $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$-positive curvature operator is a rational homology sphere with finite fundamental group. The same conclusion holds for any $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$-convex hypersurface, provided that the mean curvature satisfies a sharp pinching condition. Both results follow from more general vanishing and estimation theorems for the Betti numbers of closed $q$-convex immersed hypersurfaces in $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, under a lower bound on the average of the smallest $(n-p)$ eigenvalues of the curvature operator.
