Abstract

It is known that, for a regular riemannian foliation on a compact manifold, the properties of its basic cohomology (non-vanishing of the top-dimensional group and Poincaré Duality) and the tautness of the foliation are closely related. If we consider singular riemannian foliations, there is little or no relation between these properties. We present an example of a singular isometric flow for which the top dimensional basic cohomology group is non-trivial, but its basic cohomology does not satisfy the Poincaré Duality property. We recover this property in the basic intersection cohomology. It is not by chance that the top dimensional basic intersection cohomology groups of the example are isomorphic to either 0 or $\mathbb{R}$. We prove in this Note that this holds for any singular riemannian foliation of a compact connected manifold. As a Corollary, we get that the tautness of the regular stratum of the singular riemannian foliation can be detected by the basic intersection cohomology.

Ancient mean curvature flow asymptotic to a minimal quadratic cone

In this paper, we prove that a smooth, properly embedded ancient mean curvature flow that is asymptotic to an $O(n)\times O(m)$ symmetric minimal quadratic cone for $n +m \geq 10$, and lies on one side of the cone has to have unique asymptotics in the parabolic region. When additionally assuming mean convexity, we upgrade unique asymptotics to full uniqueness, and show that such flow has to be a stationary flow given by one of the leaves of the Hardt-Simon foliation. This is the first rigidity/unique asymptotics theory for ancient mean curvature flow with a $\textbf{singular minimal cone as the asymptotic model}$.

Log-Concavity of First Dirichlet Eigenfunctions on $\mathbb{CP}^2$

We study the log-concavity property of first Dirichlet eigenfunctions on domains in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. For every smooth $1$-convex domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{CP}^2$, we prove the quantitative estimate \[ \nabla^2(-\log u) > \max\left\{ψ(s),\frac85\right\}g, \text{ where } ψ(|\grad f|^2) = \frac{s}{\sqrt{1+s}}-\log(1+s), \] for its first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$. In particular, $u$ is strictly log-concave. As consequences, we obtain a uniform convexity estimate for the regular level sets of $u$ and the fundamental gap bound $λ_2-λ_1>46/5$.

Pólya--Szegö Inequality on Submanifolds of Riemannian Manifolds with Nonnegative Curvature and Applications

We prove a Pólya--Szegö inequality for functions defined on an $n$-dimensional submanifold $Σ$ of a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature. The associated rearrangement is a Schwarz rearrangement on $\mathbb R^n$, and the constant depends on the $L^n$-norm of the mean curvature of $Σ$ and an isoperimetric quantity obtained by Brendle. As applications, we derive Sobolev, Log-Sobolev, Hardy, and Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities on submanifolds of arbitrary codimension under a small total mean curvature assumption. In the critical Sobolev case, we obtain Moser--Trudinger inequalities on finite-volume submanifolds and exact growth inequalities on submanifolds with infinite volume. Under suitable assumptions, the Pólya--Szegö constant equals one; in this case, the critical constants in the inequalities coincide with the sharp Euclidean ones.
