Global analysis of Helmholtz operators in hyperbolic and spherical geometries.

Due to the isotropy $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space, there exist a spherically symmetric fundamental solution for its corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator.

In this paper we construct a parametrix for the forward fundamental solution of the wave and Klein-Gordon equations on asymptotically de Sitter spaces without caustics. We use this parametrix to obtain asymptotic expansions for solutions of the inhomogeneous equation and to obtain a uniform L^p estimate for a family of…

Fundamental solutions of Dirac type operators are introduced for a class of conformally flat manifolds. This class consists of manifolds obtained by factoring out the upper half-space of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by arithmetic subgroups of generalized modular groups. Basic properties of these fundamental solutions are presented t…

We prove Gaussian type bounds for the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation evolving under the Ricci flow. As a consequence, for dimension 4 and higher, we show that the backward limit of type I $κ$-solutions of the Ricci flow must be a non-flat gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. This extends Perelman's pr…

We will pr…

In the theory of minimal submanifold, the following problem is fundamental: when does a given Riemannian manifold admit (or does not admit) a minimal isometric immersion into an Euclidean space form of arbitrary dimension? A partial solution of this problem was obtained by B.Y. Chen as an application of his fundamental…

A solution to the normalized Ricci flow is called non-singular if it exists for all time with uniformly bounded sectional curvature.

Ancient geometric flows of submanifolds are characterized under curvature pinching.

Even though the disk embedding theorem is not available in dimension 4 for free fundamental groups, some surgery problems may be shown to have topological solutions. We prove that surgery problems may be solved if one considers closed 4-manifolds and the intersection pairing is extended from the integers, and prove a r…

Ancient solutions to high codimension flow pinched by spheres.

Topological 4-dimensional surgery is conjectured to fail, in general, for free fundamental groups. M. Freedman and P. Teichner have shown that surgery problems with an arbitrary fundamental group have a solution, provided they satisfy a certain condition on Dwyer's filtration on second homology. We give a new geometric…

We compute the small time asymptotic of the fundamental solution of Hörmander's type hypoelliptic operators with drift, at a stationary point, $x_0$, of the drift field. We show that the order of the asymptotic depends on the controllability of an associated control problem and of its approximating system. If the contr…
