We establish Carleman inequalities for the weighted laplacian associated to an expanding gradient Ricci soliton. As a consequence, a unique continuation at infinity is proved for asymptotically Ricci flat Ricci expanders. The obstruction at infinity is a symmetric 2-tensor defined on the link of the corresponding asymp…

This paper develops a Carleman type estimate for immersed surface in Euclidean space at infinity. With this estimate, we obtain an unique continuation property for harmonic functions on immersed surfaces vanishing at infinity, which leads to rigidity results in geometry.

We prove the unique continuation property at the conformal infinity for asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics.

We prove several facts about the Yamabe constant of Riemannian metrics on general noncompact manifolds and about S. Kim's closely related "Yamabe constant at infinity". In particular we show that the Yamabe constant depends continuously on the Riemannian metric with respect to the fine C^2-topology, and that the Yamabe…

We continue our study of ends non-compact manifolds. The over-arching aim is to provide an appropriate generalization of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that applies to manifolds having non-stable fundamental group systems at infinity. In this paper a primary goal is finally achieved; namely, a complete character…

In this paper we continue an earlier study of ends non-compact manifolds. The over-arching goal is to investigate and obtain generalizations of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that may be applied to manifolds having non-stable fundamental group systems at infinity. In this paper we show that, for manifolds with c…

We consider a continuous family $(f_s)$, $s\in[0,1]$ of complex polynomials in two variables with isolated singularities, that are Newton non-degenerate. We suppose that the Euler characteristic of a generic fiber is constant (or equivalently the sum of the affine Milnor number and the Milnor number at infinity $μ(s)+λ…

The paper defines cross-section continuity for angular momentum definitions and finds the CWY definition valid.

Proves existence of curved surfaces in hyperbolic space.

Generalizing Riemannian theorems of Anderson-Herzlich and Biquard, we show that two $(n+1)$-dimensional stationary vacuum space-times (possibly with cosmological constant $Λ\in \R$) that coincide up to order one along a timelike hypersurface $\mycal T$ are isometric in a neighbourhood of $\mycal T$. We further prove th…

We generalize the Bartsch-Li's splitting lemma at infinity for $C^2$-functionals in [2] and some later variants of it to a class of continuously directional differentiable functionals on Hilbert spaces. Different from the previous flow methods our proof is to combine the ideas of the Morse-Palais lemma due to Duc-Hung-…

Unique continuation result for expanding Ricci solitons.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness theorem of solutions of eigenvalue equations on one end of Riemannian manifolds for drift Laplacians, including the standard Laplacian as a special case; we shall impose "a sort of radiation condition" at infinity on solutions. We shall also provide several Riemannia…

The paper solves the Dirichlet problem at infinity for certain negatively curved 3-manifolds.

In this paper we introduce a notion of scattering theory for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on non-compact, connected and complete Riemannian manifolds. A principal condition is given by a certain positive lower bound of the second fundamental form of angular submanifolds at infinity. Another condition is certain bounds…

We give a global version of Le-Ramanujam mu-constant theorem for polynomials. Let f_t, (t in [0,1]), be a family of polynomials of n complex variables with isolated singularities, whose coefficients are polynomials in t. We consider the case where some numerical invariants are constant (the affine Milnor number, the Mi…

Study shows a mass quantity for $C^0$ metrics that agrees with ADM mass.

Unique continuation results are proved for metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature in the setting of bounded metrics on compact manifolds with boundary, and in the setting of complete, conformally compact metrics. Related to this issue, an isometry extension property is proved: continuous groups of isometries at confor…

In this paper we continue our study of finding the curvature flow of complete hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with a prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity. Our main results are proved by deriving a priori global gradient estimates and C^2 estimates.

Study shows how to count and equidistribute cusped Hitchin representations with entropy gaps.

Study finds solutions to inequality decay to zero on warped cylinders.

Study on scalar-flat Kahler 4-manifolds with a continuous symmetry.

We continue our study of ends of non-compact manifolds, with a focus on the inward tameness condition. For manifolds with compact boundary, inward tameness, has significant implications. For example, such manifolds have stable homology at infinity in all dimensions. We show that these manifolds have 'almost perfectly s…

A new definition of umbilic points at infinity for polynomial surfaces.

We consider the metric space of all toric Kähler metrics on a compact toric manifold; when "looking at it from infinity" (following Gromov), we obtain the tangent cone at infinity, which is parametrized by equivalence classes of complete geodesics. In the present paper, we study the associated limit for the family of m…

Develops correlation number for specific potentials and Hitchin representations.

The paper proves mapping class groups of closed surfaces are simply connected at infinity.

A recent paper (arxiv.org:1810.00025) studied properties of a compactification of the moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a hermitian bundle over a projective algebraic manifold. In this follow-up note, we show that the Yang-Mills flow at infinity on the space of semistable integrable connec…

We study connected sum at infinity on smooth, open manifolds. This operation requires a choice of proper ray in each manifold summand. In favorable circumstances, the connected sum at infinity operation is independent of ray choices. For each m at least 3, we construct an infinite family of pairs of m-manifolds on whic…

Motivated by the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture for asymptotically AdS spacetimes, we initiate the study of massive scalar waves satisfying $\Box_g ψ- μψ=0$ on the interior of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. We prescribe initial data on a spacelike hypersurface of a Reissner--Nordström--AdS black hole and impose…

New algorithm samples from log-concave distributions with high accuracy in polynomial time.

Generalizing work of W. Müller we investigate the spectral theory for the Dirac operator D on a noncompact manifold X with generalized fibred cusps $C(M)=M\times [A,\infty[_r, g= d r^2+ φ^*g_Y+ e^{-2cr}g_Z,$ at infinity. Here $φ:M^{h+v}\to Y^h$ is a compact fibre bundle with fibre Z and a distinguished horizontal s…

Mirror flow optimizes separable data problems, converging to a maximum margin classifier.

We give a general criterion for the Dirichlet problem at infinity (DPI) on a Cartan-Hadamard surface to be solvable, which we primarily use to give the best possible upper radial radial curvature bound for solvability of the DPI, but which is also flexible enough to accommodate flats. In particular, any (upper) radial …

Study confirms asymptotic behavior of logarithmic balanced metric near infinity.

We study the blowup behavior at infinity of the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold which does not admit Kahler-Einstein metrics. We prove an estimate for the Kahler potential away from a multiplier ideal subscheme, which implies that the volume forms along the flow converge to zero locally uniformly away f…

The paper examines mass aspects at future null infinity and limits of quasilocal mass.

Develops Lefschetz theory for noncompact manifolds.

The paper defines curvature at infinity for flat manifolds.

The purpose of this paper is to study the property of the resolvent of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold with various ends each of which has a different limit of the growth rate of the Riemannian measure at infinity, in particular, focusing on the limiting absorption principle. …

It is shown that the Schwarzschild spacetime can be extended so that the metric becomes analytic at the singularity. The singularity continues to exist, but it is made degenerate and smooth, and the infinities are removed by an appropriate choice of coordinates. A family of analytic extensions is found, and one of thes…

We study the geometry at infinity of expanding gradient Ricci solitons of dimension greater than two with finite asymptotic curvature ratio without curvature sign assumptions. We mainly prove that they have a cone structure at infinity.

Let F be R or C, d the dimension of F over R. Denote by P(F) either the affine plane A(F) or the hyperbolic plane H(F) over F. An arrangement L of k lines in P(F) (pairwise non-parallel in the hyperbolic case) has a link at infinity K(L) comprising k unknotted (d-1)-spheres in the (2d-1)-sphere, whose topology reflects…

Study asymptotic behavior of Weingarten surfaces at infinity.

Positive injectivity radius for manifolds with Lie structure at infinity.

We develop the scattering theory of general conformally compact metrics. For low frequencies, the domain of the scattering matrix is shown to be frequency dependent. In particular, generalized eigenfunctions exhibit L^2 decay in directions where the asymptotic curvature is sufficiently negative. The scattering matrix i…

We look at complete minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Similarly to the case of complex curves in $\mathbb{C}^2$ we introduce their {\it link at infinity}; we derive the {\it writhe number at infinity} which gives a formula for the total normal curvature of the surface. The knowledge of the l…
