Being motivated by the problem of deducing $L^p$-bounds on the second fundamental form of an isometric immersion from $L^p$-bounds on its mean curvature vector field, we prove a (nonlinear) Calderón-Zygmund inequality for maps between complete (possibly noncompact) Riemannian manifolds.

Proves volume comparison and monotonicity for Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature.

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact manifold with Ricci curvature almost bounded from below and $π:\bar{M}\to M$ be a normal, Riemannian cover. We show that, for any nonnegative function $f$ on $M$, the means of $føπ$ on the geodesic balls of $\bar{M}$ are comparable to the mean of $f$ on $M$. Combined with logarithmic volume est…

The paper extends Hawking's singularity theorem to metrics with Hölder continuity and bounded curvature.

We investigate the $L^p$-boundness of the Riesz transform on Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature has quadratic decay. Two criteria for the $L^p$-unboundness of the Riesz transform are given. We recover known results about manifolds that are Euclidean or conical at infinity.

We prove a pseudolocality type theorem for compact Ricci Flow under local integral bounds of curvature. The main tool is Local Ricci Flow introduced by Deane Yang in [4] and Pseudolocality Theorem of Perelman in [3]. We also study L^p bounds for the derivatives of curvature and smooth extension of Local Ricci Flow.

Improved bounds for Carleson-Sjölin operators on manifolds with specific curvature conditions.

We prove a rigidity result for non-negative scalar curvature perturbations of the Euclidean metric on $\mathbb{R^n}$ , which may be regarded as a weak version of the rigidity statement of the positive mass theorem. We prove our result by analyzing long time solutions of Ricci DeTurck flow. As a byproduct in doing so, w…

In this paper, we obtain fundamental $\mathcal{L}_{p}$ bounds in sequential prediction and recursive algorithms via an entropic analysis. Both classes of problems are examined by investigating the underlying entropic relationships of the data and/or noises involved, and the derived lower bounds may all be quantified in…

The paper improves curvature estimates for Ricci flow solutions with bounded scalar curvature.

We prove that hypersurfaces of $\R^{n+1}$ which are almost extremal for the Reilly inequality on $λ_1$ and have $L^p$-bounded mean curvature ($p>n$) are Hausdorff close to a sphere, have almost constant mean curvature and have a spectrum which asymptotically contains the spectrum of the sphere. We prove the same result…

Compact metrics found for Riemannian manifolds with controlled curvature.

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces $f:Σ\to \R^n$, we study the curvature functionals $\mathcal{E}^p(f)$ and $\mathcal{W}^p(f)$ with integrands $(1+|A|^2)^{p/2}$ and $(1+|H|^2)^{p/2}$, respectively. Here $A$ is the second fundamental form, $H$ is the mean curvature and we assume $p > 2$. Our main result asser…

In this paper, we utilize information theory to study the fundamental performance limitations of generic feedback systems, where both the controller and the plant may be any causal functions/mappings while the disturbance can be with any distributions. More specifically, we obtain fundamental $\mathcal{L}_p$ bounds on …

The paper studies Ricci flow with specific curvature and volume constraints, proving convergence and curvature bounds.

We introduce a class of non-commutative Heisenberg like infinite dimensional Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The Ricci curvature tensor for these groups is computed and shown to be bounded. Brownian motion and the corresponding heat kernel measures, $\{ν_t\}_{t>0},$ are also studied. We show that these he…

The study of the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the Weyl-Schouten curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric, the so called $σ_k$ curvature, has produced many fruitful results in conformal geometry in recent years, especially when the dimension of the underlying manifold is 3 or 4. In these studies, the deforming…

The paper converts metric bounds to distance function Hölder bounds and proves compactness theorems.

We prove a couple of new endpoint geodesic restriction estimates for eigenfunctions. In the case of general 3-dimensional compact manifolds, after a $TT^*$ argument, simply by using the $L^2$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform on $\R$, we are able to improve the corresponding $L^2$-restriction bounds of Burq, Gérard …

We first consider immersions on compact manifolds with uniform $L^p$-bounds on the second fundamental form and uniformly bounded volume. We show compactness in arbitrary dimension and codimension, generalizing a classical result of J. Langer. In the second part, this result is used to deduce a localized version, being …

Let $\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{R},n,p,Λ,D,V_0)$ be the class of compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with finite diameter $\leq D$, non-collapsing volume $\geq V_0$ and $L^p$-bounded $\mathcal{R}$-curvature condition $\|\mathcal{R}\|_{L^p}\leq Λ$ for some $p>\frac n2$. Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold …

We establish the weak continuity of the Gauss-Coddazi-Ricci system for isometric embedding with respect to the uniform $L^p$-bounded solution sequence for $p>2$, which implies that the weak limit of the isometric embeddings of the manifold is still an isometric embedding. More generally, we establish a compensated comp…

One considers the class of complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds whose heat kernel satisfies Gaussian estimates from above and below. One shows that the Riesz transform is $L^p$ bounded on such a manifold, for $p$ ranging in an open interval above 2, if and only if the gradient of the heat kernel satisfies a certai…

We introduce techniques for turning estimates on the infinitesimal behavior of solutions to nonlinear equations (statements concerning tangent cones and blow ups) into more effective control. In the present paper, we focus on proving regularity theorems for stationary and minimizing harmonic maps and minimal currents. …

In this paper we study the Riesz transform on complete and connected Riemannian manifolds $M$ with a certain spectral gap in the $L^2$ spectrum of the Laplacian. We show that on such manifolds the Riesz transform is $L^p$ bounded for all $p \in (1,\infty)$. This generalizes a result by Mandouvalos and Marias and extend…

Sharp bounds for eigenfunctions on product spaces restricted to submanifolds.

We explore the distinctions between $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors on a fixed Riemannian manifold versus Gromov-Hausdorff, uniform, and intrinsic flat convergence of the corresponding sequence of metric spaces. We provide a number of examples which demonstrate these notions of convergence do not agree even for two…

Given a sequence of complete Riemannian manifolds $(M_n)$ of the same dimension, we construct a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ such that for all $p \in (1,\infty)$ the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transform on $M$ dominates the $L^p$-norm of the Riesz transform on $M_n$ for all $n$. Thus we establish the following dichoto…

In this paper we prove quantitative regularity results for stationary and minimizing extrinsic biharmonic maps. As an application, we determine sharp, dimension independent $L^p$ bounds for $\nabla^k f$ that do not require a small energy hypothesis. In particular, every minimizing biharmonic map is in $W^{4,p}$ for all…

Deep neural networks are susceptible to adversarial manipulations in the input domain. The extent of vulnerability has been explored intensively in cases of $\ell_p$-bounded and $\ell_p$-minimal adversarial perturbations. However, the vulnerability of DNNs to adversarial perturbations with specific statistical properti…

We use a straightforward variation on a recent argument of Hezari and Rivière~\cite{HR} to obtain localized $L^p$-estimates for all exponents larger than or equal to the critical exponent $p_c=\tfrac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$. We are able to this directly by just using the $L^{p}$-bounds for spectral projection operators from our …

Defenses against adversarial examples, such as adversarial training, are typically tailored to a single perturbation type (e.g., small $\ell_\infty$-noise). For other perturbations, these defenses offer no guarantees and, at times, even increase the model's vulnerability. Our aim is to understand the reasons underlying…

We study different notions of Riemannian curvatures: The $p$-curvatures which interpolate between the scalar curvature and the sectional curvature, the Gauss-Bonnet-Weyl curvatures form another interpolation from the scalar curvature to the Gauss-Bonnet integrand. We bring out the $(p,q)$-curvatures, which incorporate …
