Interior $C^{2}$ estimates for sum Hessian quotient equations on Riemannian manifolds

This article presents a proof of Pogorelov's result that there exists a $C^{2,1}$ metric with no local $C^2$ realization in $\mathbb{R}^3$. It also construct in a very elementary way a $C^{1,1}$ realization of this metric. Pogorelov's result is somewhat controversial among the community of researchers that study isomet…

In this paper we prove the existence of complete, noncompact convex hypersurfaces whose $p$-curvature function is prescribed on a domain in the unit sphere. This problem is related to the solvability of Monge-Ampère type equations subject to certain boundary conditions depending on the value of $p$. The special case of…

We show the uniqueness of strictly convex closed smooth self-similar solutions to the $α$-Gauss curvature flow with $(1/n) < α< 1+(1/n)$. We introduce a Pogorelov type computation, and then we apply the strong maximum principle. Our work combined with earlier works on the Gauss Curvature flow imply that the $α$-Gauss c…

We prove some Bernstein theorems for entire space-like submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and, as a corollary, we obtain a new proof of the Calabi-Pogorelov theorem on global solutions of Monge-Ampere equations.

Closed surfaces minimize total curvature in curved spaces.

We present constructions inspired by the Ma-Schlenker example of~\cite{Ma:2012hl} that show the non-rigidity of spherical inversive distance circle packings. In contrast to the use in~\cite{Ma:2012hl} of an infinitesimally flexible Euclidean polyhedron, embeddings in de Sitter space, and Pogorelov maps, our elementary …

We prove that any simply connected special Kaehler manifold admits a canonical immersion as a parabolic affine hypersphere. As an application, we associate a parabolic affine hypersphere to any nondegenerate holomorphic function. Also we show that a classical result of Calabi and Pogorelov on parabolic spheres implies …

It is shown that any smooth strictly convex global solution of $\det(\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial ξ_{i}\partial ξ_{j}}) = \exp \left\{-\sum_{i=1}^n d_i \frac{\partial u}{\partial ξ_{i}} - d_0\right\},$ where $d_0$, $d_1$,...,$d_n$ are constants, must be a quadratic polynomial. This extends a well-known theorem of Jö…

A pseudo-edge graph of a convex polyhedron K is a 3-connected embedded graph in K whose vertices coincide with those of K, whose edges are distance minimizing geodesics, and whose faces are convex. We construct a convex polyhedron K in Euclidean 3-space with a pseudo-edge graph with respect to which K is not unfoldable…

A family of closed manifolds is called cohomologically rigid if a cohomology ring isomorphism implies a diffeomorphism for any two manifolds in the family. We establish cohomological rigidity for large families of 3-dimensional and 6-dimensional manifolds defined by 3-dimensional polytopes. We consider the class P of 3…

A classical theorem, mainly due to Aleksandrov and Pogorelov, states that any Riemannian metric on $S^2$ with curvature $K>-1$ is induced on a unique convex surface in $H^3$. A similar result holds with the induced metric replaced by the third fundamental form. We show that the same phenomenon happens with yet another …

In this paper, we obtain a Li-Yau type gradient estimate with time dependent parameter for positive solutions of the heat equation, so that the Li-Yau type gradient estimate of Li-Xu are special cases of the estimate. We also obtain improvements of Davies' Li-Yau type gradient estimate. The argument is different with t…

Celebrated work of Alexandrov and Pogorelov determines exactly which metrics on the sphere are induced on the boundary of a compact convex subset of hyperbolic three-space. As a step toward a generalization for unbounded convex subsets, we consider convex regions of hyperbolic three-space bounded by two properly embedd…

In this paper, we obtain Li-Yau type gradient estimates with time dependent parameter for positive solutions of the heat equation that are different with the estimates by Li-Xu \cite{LX} and Qian \cite{Qi}. As an application of the estimate, we also obtained improvements of Davies' Li-Yau type gradient estimate.

In this paper, motivated by the works of Bakry et. al in finding sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimate for positive solutions of the heat equation on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonzero Ricci curvature lower bound, we first introduce a general form of Li-Yau type gradient estimate and show that the validity of suc…
