The paper proves inequalities under Bakry-Émery-Ricci curvature bounds.

In this note we show how results in \cite{BaudoinBonnefont2016, BaudoinGarofalo2013, CoulhonJiangKoskelaSikora2017} yield the Cheng-Yau estimate on two classes of sub-Riemannian manifolds: Carnot groups and sub-Riemannian manifolds satisfying a generalized curvature-dimension inequality.

We compute estimates for eigenvalues of a class of linear second-order elliptic differential operators in divergence form (with Dirichlet boundary condition) on a bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifold. Our estimates are based upon the Weyl's asymptotic formula. As an application, we find a lower bound for th…

The paper studies eigenvalue problems on manifolds and recovers known inequalities.

We revisit classical eigenvalue inequalities due to Buser, Cheng, and Gromov on closed Riemannian manifolds, and prove the versions of these results for the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems. Eigenvalue multiplicity bounds and related open problems are also discussed.

Let $({\M}, g(t))$ be a Kähler Ricci flow with positive first Chern class. We prove a uniform isoperimetric inequality for all time. In the process we also prove a Cheng-Yau type log gradient bound for positive harmonic functions on $({\M}, g(t))$, and a Poincaré inequality without assuming the Ricci curvature is bound…

In this paper, we obtain "universal" inequalities for eigenvalues of the weighted Hodge Laplacian on a compact self-shrinker of Euclidean space. These inequalities generalize the Yang-type and Levitin-Parnovski inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian and Laplacian. From the recursion formula of Cheng and Yang \ci…

In this paper, we derive Li-Yau inequality for unbounded Laplacian on complete weighted graphs with the assumption of the curvature-dimension inequality $CDE'(n,K)$, which can be regarded as a notion of curvature on graphs. Furthermore, we obtain some applications of Li-Yau inequality, including Harnack inequality, hea…

Universal inequalities for Laplacian eigenvalues on discrete groups.

We investigate the rigidity problem for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality on weighted Riemannian manifolds satisfying $\mathrm{Ric}_{\infty} \ge K>0$. Assuming equality holds, we show that the $1$-dimensional Gaussian space is necessarily split off, similarly to the rigidity results of Cheng--Zhou on the spectral gap …

This paper studies eigenvalues of the buckling problem of arbitrary order on bounded domains in Euclidean spaces and spheres. We prove universal bounds for the k-th eigenvalue in terms of the lower ones independent of the domains. Our results strengthen the recent work in [28] and generalize Cheng-Yang's recent estimat…

The paper uses Nash-Moser iteration to prove gradient estimates for nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds.

We give rigidity results for the discrete Bonnet-Myers diameter bound and the Lichnerowicz eigenvalue estimate. Both inequalities are sharp if and only if the underlying graph is a hypercube. The proofs use well-known semigroup methods as well as new direct methods which translate curvature to combinatorial properties.…

Estimates symplectic Calabi-Yau equation using Cheng-Yau method.

For a bounded domain $Ω$ with a piecewise smooth boundary in a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. By making use of a fact that eigenfunctions form an orthonormal basis of $L^2(Ω)$ in place of the Rayleigh-Ritz formula, we obtain inequalities for …

Let $x: M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{N}$ be an $n$-dimensional compact self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with smooth boundary $\partialΩ$. In this paper, we study eigenvalues of the operator $\mathcal{L}_r$ on $M$, where $\mathcal{L}_r$ is defined by $$\mathcal{L}_r=e^{\frac{|x|^2}{2}}{\rm div}(e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{2}}T^r\nabla\…

We improve the well known local gradient estimate of Cheng and Yau in the case when Ricci curvature has a negative lower bound.

Study shows quantum behavior near infinity in metric asymptotics.

For positive $p$-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds, we derive a gradient estimate and Harnack inequality with constants depending only on the lower bound of the Ricci curvature, the dimension $n$, $p$ and the radius of the ball on which the function is defined. Our approach is based on a careful application of…

It is shown that the Ramadanov conjecture implies the Cheng conjecture. In particular it follows that the Cheng conjecture holds in dimension two.

In this paper, we mainly study eigenvalue problems of p-Laplacian on domains with an interior hole. Firstly we prove Faber-Krahn-type inequalities, and Cheng-type eigenvalue comparison theorems on manifolds. Secondly, we prove a comparison theorem for eigenvalues with inner Dirichlet and outer Neumann boundary in minim…

Commentary on Cheng's fairness comparison between tests and AI.

In this paper, we study eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian with arbitrary order on a bounded domain in an n-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a lower bound for eigenvalues, which generalizes the results due to Cheng-Wei [5] and gives an improvement of results due to Cheng- Qi-Wei [3].

The paper compares eigenvalues of Laplacians on fibred manifolds using symmetrization techniques.

We study the eigenvalue problem for the Riemannian Pucci operator on geodesic balls. We establish upper and lower bounds for the principal Pucci eigenvalues depending on the curvature, extending Cheng's eigenvalue comparison theorem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator. For manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, we p…

Buser's inequality gives an upper bound on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a closed manifold M in terms of the Cheeger constant h(M). Agol later gave a quantitative improvement of Buser's inequality. Agol's result is less transparent since it is given implicitly by a set of equations, one of which is …

Maximal diameter theorem for graphs with positive Ricci curvature.

We prove Cheng's eigenvalue comparison theorems for geodesic balls within the cut locus under weaker geometric hypothesis, and we also show that there are certain geometric rigidity in case of equality of the eigenvalues. This rigidity becomes isometric rigidity under upper sectional curvature bounds or lower Ricci cur…

We study the Gauss map $G$ of surfaces of revolution in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb{E}^3}$ with respect to the so called Cheng-Yau operator $\square$ acting on the functions defined on the surfaces. As a result, we establish the classification theorem that the only surfaces of revolution with Gauss map …

New proof of Kähler-Einstein Fano manifold $L^\infty$ estimates.

We prove an extension of a theorem of Barta then we make few geometric applications. We extend Cheng's lower eigenvalue estimates of normal geodesic balls. We generalize Cheng-Li-Yau eigenvalue estimates of minimal submanifolds of the space forms. We prove an stability theorem for minimal hypersurfaces of the Euclidean…

For each invariant polynomial $Φ$, we construct a global CR invariant via the renormalized characteristic form of the Cheng--Yau metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain. When the degree of $Φ$ is 0, the invariant agrees with the total $Q'$-curvature. When the degree is equal to the CR dimension, we construct a primed …
