Study on higher-order Escobar constants for planar domains.

In this article, we introduce an analogous problem to Yamabe type problem considered by Case, J., which generalizes the Escobar-Riemann mapping problem for smooth metric measure spaces with boundary. The last problem will be called Escobar-Riemann mapping type problem. For this purpose, we consider the generalization o…

Classifies metrics with specific curvature properties on a ball.

We solve the remaining cases of the Riemann mapping problem of Escobar. Indeed, performing a suitable scheme of the barycenter technique of Bahri-Coron via the Chen's bubbles, we solve the cases left open after the work of Chen. Thus, combining our work with the ones of Almaraz, Chen, Escobar and Marques we have that e…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We consider the problem (first studied by Escobar in 1992) of finding a conformal metric with constant scalar curvature in the interior and zero mean curvature on the boundary. Using a local test function construction, we are able to settle most cases left open …

Fourth-order problem on half-ball with corner behavior.

In this paper we prove non-existence and classification results for elliptic fully nonlinear elliptic degenerate conformal equations on certain subdomains of the sphere with prescribed constant mean curvature along its boundary. We also consider non-degenerate equations. Such subdomains are the hemisphere (or a geodesi…

In 1992, motivated by Riemann mapping theorem, Escobar considered a version of Yamabe problem on manifolds of dimension n greater than 2 with boundary. The problem consists in finding a conformal metric such that the scalar curvature is zero and the mean curvature is constant on the boundary. By using a local test func…

Let $(X_1, \bar g_1)$ and $(X_2, \bar g_2)$ be two compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $(M_1,g_1)$ and $(M_2,g_2)$ respectively. The Escobar problem consists in prescribing a conformal metric on a compact manifold with boundary with zero scalar curvature in the interior and constant mean curvature of the boundar…

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of $n=6,7$ or the manifold is spin and some other remai…

This paper improves lower bounds for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue on compact manifolds.

In this paper we prove classification results to elliptic fully nonlinear conformal equations on certain subdomains of the sphere with prescribed constant mean curvature on its boundary. Such subdomains are the hemisphere (or a geodesic ball on $\mathbb{S}^n$) of dimension $n\geq 2$ with prescribed constant mean curvat…

The paper confirms Escobar's conjecture on Steklov eigenvalues.

In study of eigenvalue problems, a classical problem is the Stekloff eigenvalue problem. There are many estimates of the first non- zero Stekloff eigenvalue, including a sharp estimate on surfaces, obtained by Escobar in "The geometry of the first non-zero Stekloff eigenvalue, J. Funct. Anal. 150 (1997)". In this paper…

The paper proves inequalities for Steklov eigenvalues on finite graphs.

We establish a gluing theorem for solutions of a Yamabe problem for manifolds with boundary studied by Escobar in the 90's. Given two scalar-flat Riemannian manifolds whose boundary has zero mean curvature and sharing a submanifold $K$, we produce the generalized connected sum along $K$. On this third manifold we produ…

In this paper, we solve the remaining cases of the boundary Yamabe problem introduced by Escobar in 1992. Indeed, using the bubbles of Brendle-Chen, which are an adaptation to manifolds with boundary of the original ones introduced by Brendle for the study of the Yamabe flow on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension …

The inequality involving Stekloff eigenvalues is tighter than previously thought.

One way to generalize the boundary Yamabe problem posed by Escobar is to ask if a given metric on a compact manifold with boundary can be conformally deformed to have vanishing $σ_k$-curvature in the interior and constant $H_k$-curvature on the boundary. When restricting to the closure of the positive $k$-cone, this is…

We consider a nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem on locally conformally flat compact manifolds with boundary. The main technique we used is to derive boundary $C^2$ estimates directly from boundary $C^0$ estimates. In particular, the result is a generalization of the work by Escobar.

We prove a lower bound for the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalues in terms of an isoperimetric constant called the $k$-th Cheeger-Steklov constant in three different situations: finite spaces, measurable spaces, and Riemannian manifolds. These lower bounds can be considered as higher order Cheeger type inequalities for the Ste…

We prove a Schwarz-type lemma for noncompact manifolds with possibly noncompact boundary. The result is a consequence of a suitable form of the weak maximum principle of independent interest. The paper is enriched with applications to conformal deformations of noncompact manifolds with boundary, among them a generaliza…

In this paper, we employ a nonlocal $Q$-curvature flow inspired by Gursky-Malchiodi's work \cite{gur_mal} to solve the prescribed $Q$-curvature problem on a class of closed manifolds: For $n \geq 5$, let $(M^n,g_0)$ be a smooth closed manifold, which is not conformally diffeomorphic to the standard sphere, satisfying e…

Based on the relations between scattering operators of asymptotically hyperbolic metrics and Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators of uniformly degenerate elliptic boundary value problems, we formulate fractional Yamabe problems that include the boundary Yamabe problem studied by Escobar. We observe an interesting Hopf type m…

Let $(X^{n},g_+)$ $(n\geq 3)$ be a Poincaré-Einstein manifold which is $C^{3,α}$ conformally compact with conformal infinity $(\partial X, [\hat{g}])$. On the conformal compactification $(\overline{X}, \bar g=ρ^2g_+)$ via some boundary defining function $ρ$, there are two types of Yamabe constants: $Y(\overline{X},\pa…

Solves a problem in Riemannian geometry for scalar-flat metrics with boundary conditions.

A theorem of Escobar asserts that, on a positive three dimensional smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary which is not conformally equivalent to the standard three dimensional ball, a necessary and sufficient condition for a $C^2$ function $H$ to be the mean curvature of some conformal flat metric is that $H$…

Study solves Yamabe problems on metric measure spaces with or without boundary.

In this paper, we define the Green function for the Dirac operator under two local boundary conditions: the condition associated with a chirality operator (also called the chiral bag boundary condition) and the $\MIT$ bag boundary condition. Then we give some applications of these constructions for each Green function.…
