Paper presents a new Pohozaev-Schoen identity for non-compact manifolds.

Conformal invariance of two-dimensional variational problems is a condition known to enable a blow-up analysis of solutions and to deduce the removability of singularities. In this paper, we identify another condition that is not only sufficient, but also necessary for such a removability of singularities. This is the …

The classical Pohozaev identity constrains potential solutions of certain semilinear PDE boundary value problems. The Kazdan-Warner identity is a similar necessary condition important for the Nirenberg problem of conformally prescribing scalar curvature on the sphere. For dimensions $n\geq 3$ both identities are captur…

Warped product metrics are a class of Riemannian metrics on cross products $B \times F$ which have been well studied and provide a rich set of examples. In this paper we consider shrinking gradient Ricci solitons which are warped product metrics. We prove that if the curvature of the metric is bounded and the base $B$ …

In this note we show how a generalized Pohozaev-Schoen identity due to Gover and Orsted \cite{GO} can be used to obtain some rigidity results for $V$-static manifolds and generalized solitons. We also obtain an Alexandrov type result for certain hypersurfaces in Einstein manifolds.

We study the blow-up analysis and qualitative behavior for a sequence of harmonic maps with free boundary from degenerating bordered Riemann surfaces with uniformly bounded energy. With the help of Pohozaev type constants associated to harmonic maps defined on degenerating collars, including vertical boundary collars a…

We study some analytical and geometric properties of a two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model with gravitino which comes from supersymmetric string theory. When the action is critical w.r.t. variations of the various fields including the gravitino, there is a symmetric, traceless and divergence-free energy-momentum tens…

Study rigidity in Riemannian manifolds using Pohozoaev and P-function approaches.

We prove a Pohozaev type identity for non-linear eigenvalue equations of the Dirac operator on Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary. As an application, we obtain that the mean curvature H of a conformal immersion S^{n}-> R^{n+1} satisfies $\int \partial_X H=0$ where X is a conformal vector field on S^{n} and where t…

We prove that in Riemannian manifolds the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on a domain and the square root of the $k$-th Laplacian eigenvalue on its boundary can be mutually controlled in terms of the maximum principal curvature of the boundary under sectional curvature conditions. As an application, we derive a Weyl-type upp…

This paper establishes certain existence and classification results for solutions to $SU(n)$ Toda systems with three singular sources at 0, 1, and $\infty$. First, we determine the necessary conditions for such an $SU(n)$ Toda system to be related to an $n$th order hypergeometric equation. Then, we construct solutions …

In this paper, we obtain nonexistence results of positive solutions, and also the existence of an unbounded sequence of solutions that changing sign for some critical problems involving conformally invariant operators on the standard unit sphere, and the fractional Laplacian operator in the Euclidean space. Our argumen…

Extends Toda system existence results to negative functions.

It was conjectured by Escobar [J. Funct. Anal. 165 (1999), 101-116] that for an $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 3$) smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and boundary principal curvatures bounded below by $c>0$, the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue is greater than or equal to $…

Given two compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $M_1$ and $M_2$ such that their respective boundaries $Σ_1$ and $Σ_2$ admit neighborhoods $Ω_1$ and $Ω_2$ which are isometric, we prove the existence of a constant $C$, which depends only on the geometry of $Ω_1\congΩ_2$, such that $|σ_k(M_1)-σ_k(M_2)|\leq C$ for eac…

We study asymptotic behavior of positive smooth solutions of the conformal scalar curvature equation in ${\bf R}^n$. We consider the case when the scalar curvature of the conformal metric is bounded between two positive numbers outside a compact set. It is shown that the solution has slow decay if the radial change is …

Study on solutions to conformally invariant fourth order equations, classifying their properties.

In this paper, we develop the blow-up analysis and establish the energy quantization for solutions to super-Liouville type equations on Riemann surfaces with conical singularities at the boundary. In other problems in geometric analysis, the blow-up analysis usually strongly utilizes conformal invariance, which yields …

Brezis' open problem on harmonic maps resolved

We consider the asymptotic behaviour of positive solutions u of the conformal scalar curvature equation, Δu + n(n-2)/4 u^{(n+2)(n-2) = 0, in the neighbourhood of isolated singularities in the standard Euclidean ball. Although asymptotic radial symmetry for such solutions was proved some time ago, by Caffarelli, Gidas a…

Quandle homology was defined from rack homology as the quotient by a subcomplex corresponding to the idempotency, for invariance under the type I Reidemeister move. Similar subcomplexes have been considered for various identities of racks and moves on diagrams. We observe common aspects of these identities and subcompl…

The importance of Einstein's geometrization philosophy, as an alternative to the least action principle, in constructing general relativity (GR), is illuminated. The role of differential identities in this philosophy is clarified. The use of Bianchi identity to write the field equations of GR is shown. Another similar …

We use computer algebra to demonstrate the existence of a multilinear polynomial identity of degree 8 satisfied by the bilinear operation in every Lie-Yamaguti algebra. This identity is a consequence of the defining identities for Lie-Yamaguti algebras, but is not a consequence of anticommutativity. We give an explicit…
