The paper defines minimal norm tensors for curvature and divergence tensors, explaining Weyl and Cotten tensors.

The real homology of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm on $H_1(M,\mathbb{R})$ arises from the Riemannian length functional by homogenization. It is difficult and interesting to decide which norms on the finite-dimensional vector space $H_1(M,\mathbb{R})$ are st…

Riemannian cubics are critical points for the $L^2$ norm of acceleration of curves in Riemannian manifolds $M$. In the present paper the $L^\infty$ norm replaces the $L^2$ norm, and a less direct argument is used to derive necessary conditions analogous to those for Riemannian cubics. The necessary conditions are exami…

The real homology of a compact, n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm of a homology class is the minimal Riemannian volume of its representatives. If M is orientable the stable norm on H_{n-1}(M,R) is a homogenized version of the Riemannian (n-1)-volume. We study…

Sharp stability of isometries on Heisenberg group proven.

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…

Equivalence of norms on manifolds with curvature bounds established.

We study the stable norm on the first homology of a closed, non-orientable surface equipped with a Riemannian metric. We prove that in every conformal class there exists a metric whose stable norm is polyhedral. Furthermore the stable norm is never strictly convex if the first Betti number of the surface is greater tha…

Two definitions quantify $C^{2,α}$ regularity of Riemannian surfaces.

Non-degeneracy of critical points proven for manifold's squared norm of second fundamental form.

Given a closed, oriented surface M, the algebraic intersection of closed curves induces a symplectic form Int(.,.) on the first homology group of M. If M is equipped with a Riemannian metric g, the first homology group of M inherits a norm, called the stable norm. We study the norm of the bilinear form Int(.,.), with r…

We investigate stability and local minimizing properties of the Riemannian functional defined by the L^p norm of the curvature tensor on the space of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold. Riemannian metrics with constant curvature and products of such metrics are critical points of this functional. We prove that the…

Comparisons on $L^{n\over 2}$-norms of scalar curvatures between Riemannian metrics and standard metrics are obtained. The metrics are restricted to conformal classes or under certain curvature conditions.

Boundary rigidity proven for non-reversible Finsler metrics.

We consider the moduli space of the extremal Kähler metrics on compact manifolds. We show that under the conditions of two-sided total volume bounds, $L^{n\over2}$-norm bounds on $\Riem$, and Sobolev constant bounds, this Moduli space can be compactified by including (reduced) orbifolds with finitely many singularities…

In this work we prove convergence results of sequences of Riemannian $4$-manifolds with almost vanishing $L^2$-norm of a curvature tensor and a non-collapsing bound on the volume of small balls. In Theorem 1.1, we consider a sequence of closed Riemannian $4$-manifolds, whose $L^2$-norm of the Riemannian curvature tenso…

Improved lower bound for geodesics on manifolds.

This article concerns upper bounds for $L^\infty$-norms of random approximate eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a compact aperiodic Riemannian manifold $(M,g).$ We study $f_λ$ chosen uniformly at random from the space of $L^2$-normalized linear combinations of Laplace eigenfunctions with eigenvalues in the inte…

The Riemannian hemisphere has a lower bound for its mass.

We present a lower bound for a fragmentation norm and construct a bi-Lipschitz embedding $I\colon \mathbb{R}^n\to\mathrm{Ham}(M)$ with respect to the fragmentation norm on the group $\mathrm{Ham}(M)$ of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold $(M,ω)$. As an application, we provide an answer to Brandenbursk…

Study calculates stable norm of slit tori using Farey sequence.

We prove certain optimal systolic inequalities for a closed Riemannian manifold (X,g), depending on a pair of parameters, n and b. Here n is the dimension of X, while b is its first Betti number. The proof of the inequalities involves constructing Abel-Jacobi maps from X to its Jacobi torus T^b, which are area-decreasi…

For a Riemannian polyhedra, we study the geometry of the unit ball for the unidimensional stable norm (stable ball). In the case of a unidimensional Riemannian polyhedra (graph), we show that the stable ball is a polytope whose vertices are completely described by combinatorial properties of the graph. We study then th…

Introduces a natural parallel translation for navigation data.

We derive new estimates for the first Betti number of compact Riemannian manifolds. Our approach relies on the Birman-Schwinger principle and Schatten norm estimates for semigroup differences. In contrast to previous works we do not require any a priori ultracontractivity estimates and we provide bounds which explicitl…

A holonomic space $(V,H,L)$ is a normed vector space, $V$, a subgroup, $H$, of $Aut(V, \|\cdot\|)$ and a group-norm, $L$, with a convexity property. We prove that with the metric $d_L(u,v)=\inf_{a\in H}\{\sqrt{L^2(a)+\|u-av\|^2}\}$, $V$ is a metric space which is locally isometric to a Euclidean ball. Given a Sasaki-ty…

We refine and generalize several interpolation inequalities bounding the $L^p$ norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure $μ$ by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich distance to $μ$ on a smooth weighted Riemannian manifold satisfying $CD(0, \infty)$ condition.

Gradient flow with weight decay shows grokking effect in deep learning.

Smooth approximation of integral cycles in manifolds.

We show that for an isometric immersion of a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive curvature, the norm of the mean curvature vector field is square integrable, then it is minimal. This is a partial affirmative answer of the B. Y. Chen's conjecture.

A result of Bangert states that the stable norm associated to any Riemannian metric on the $2$-torus $T^2$ is strictly convex. We demonstrate that the space of stable norms associated to metrics on $T^2$ forms a proper dense subset of the space of strictly convex norms on $\R^2$. In particular, given a strictly convex …

In this study, we give definitions and characterizations of eikonal slant helix curves, eikonal Darboux helices and non-normed eikonal Darboux helices in three dimensional Riemannian manifold 3 M . We show that every eikonal slant helix is also an eikonal Darboux helix. Furthermore, we obtain that if the curve a is a n…

The paper bounds the $L^2$-norm of Euler class for foliations on 3-manifolds.

We derive a bound on the $L^{\infty}$-norm of the covariant derivative of Laplace eigensections on general Riemannian vector bundles depending on the diameter, the dimension, the Ricci curvature of the underlying manifold, and the curvature of the Riemannian vector bundle. Our result implies that eigensections with sma…

We give examples illustrating the fact that the different space/time splittings of the tangent bundle of a semi-Riemannian spin manifold give rise to non-equivalent norms on the space of compactly supported sections of the spinor bundle, and as a result, to different completions. We give a necessary and sufficient cond…

Multiplicative relations in the cohomology ring of a manifold impose constraints upon its stable systoles. Given a compact Riemannian manifold (X,g), its real homology H_*(X,R) is naturally endowed with the stable norm. Briefly, if h\in H_k(X,R) then the stable norm of h is the infimum of the Riemannian k-volumes of re…

Smooth approximation of integral cycles mod 2 in Riemannian manifolds.

It is known that the $L^{2}$-norms of a harmonic function over spheres satisfies some convexity inequality strongly linked to the Almgren's frequency function. We examine the $L^{2}$-norms of harmonic functions over a wide class of evolving hypersurfaces. More precisely, we consider compact level sets of smooth regular…

Sub-Riemannian cubics are a generalisation of Riemannian cubics to a sub-Riemannian manifold. Cubics are curves which minimise the integral of the norm squared of the covariant acceleration. Sub-Riemannian cubics are cubics which are restricted to move in a horizontal subspace of the tangent space. When the sub-Riemann…

This is the fourth article of our series. Here, we study weighted norm inequalities for the Riesz transform of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds and of subelliptic sum of squares on Lie groups, under the doubling volume property and Gaussian upper bounds.

In this paper, we consider a Riemannian foliation whose normal bundle carries a parallel or harmonic basic form. We estimate the norm of the O'Neill tensor in terms of the curvature data of the whole manifold. Some examples are then given.

The paper estimates solutions to a heat inequality on Riemannian manifolds with specific initial data.

Study on extremizers for Sobolev inequality on curved manifolds.

We prove that some Riemannian manifolds with boundary under an explicit integral pinching are spherical space forms. Precisely, we show that 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, positive scalar curvature and an explicit integral pinching between the $L^2$-norm of their scalar curvature and…

The aim of this note is to analyse the structure of the $L^0$-normed $L^0$-modules over a metric measure space. These are a tool that has been introduced by N. Gigli to develop a differential calculus on spaces verifying the Riemannian Curvature Dimension condition. More precisely, we discuss under which conditions an …

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition that $L^p$-norms, $2<p<6$, of eigenfunctions of the square root of minus the Laplacian on 2-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifolds $M$ are small compared to a natural power of the eigenvalue $λ$. The condition that ensures this is that their $L^2$ norms ove…
