This is the first paper in a series to develop a linear and nonlinear theory for elliptic and parabolic equations on Kähler varieties with mild singularities. Donaldson has established a Schauder estimate for linear and complex Monge-Ampère equations when the background Kähler metrics on $\mathbb{C}^n$ have cone singul…

This is the continuation of our paper \cite{GS}, to study the linear theory for equations with conical singularities. We derive interior Schauder estimates for linear elliptic and parabolic equations with a background Kähler metric of conical singularities along a divisor of simple normal crossings. As an application, …

Study shows solutions to degenerate elliptic equations blow up at the boundary.

We establish Schauder a priori estimates and regularity for solutions to a class of boundary-degenerate elliptic linear second-order partial differential equations. Furthermore, given a smooth source function, we prove regularity of solutions up to the portion of the boundary where the operator is degenerate. Degenerat…

Solves Demailly's system for direct sums of ample line bundles on Riemann surfaces.

The analog of the Schauder inequality for closed surfaces in Euclidean spaces is obtained in this article.

Established in the 30's, Schauder {\it a priori} estimates are among the most classical and powerful tools in the analysis of problems ruled by 2nd order elliptic PDEs. Since then, a central problem in regularity theory has been to understand Schauder type estimates fashioning particular borderline scenarios. In such c…

The paper proves Hölder continuity for solutions of degenerate parabolic equations in any dimension.

Estimates roughness of stochastic processes without assuming specific models.

An locally conformally Kahler (LCK) manifold with potential is a complex manifold with a cover which admits an automorphic Kahler potential. An LCK manifold with potential can be embedded to a Hopf manifold, if its dimension is at least 3. We give a functional-analytic proof of this result based on Riesz-Schauder theor…

Following Donaldson's oppenness theorem on deforming a conical Kähler-Einstein metric, we prove a parabolic Schauder-type estimate with respect to conical metrics. As a corollary, we show that the conical Kähler-Ricci Flow exists for short time. The key is to establish the relevant heat kernel estimates, where we use t…

We show the short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for fully nonlinear systems of arbitrary even order on closed manifolds which are strongly parabolic at the initial values. The proof uses a linearization procedure and a fixed-point argument, and the key ingredient is the well known Sch…

Using Schauder's theory for linear elliptic partial differential equations in two independent variables and fundamental estimates for univalent mappings due to E. Heinz we establish an upper bound of the Gaussian curvature of two-dimensional minimal surface graphs in R^n. This leads us to a theorem of Bernstein-Liouvil…

Let (M,g) be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold with an incomplete edge singularity. This article shows that it is possible to evolve g by the Yamabe flow within a class of singular edge metrics. As the main analytic step we establish parabolic Schauder-type estimates for the heat operator on certain Hölder spaces …

Develops regularity theory for Beckmann's optimal transport problem.

In this paper we study the parabolic evolution equation $\partial_t u=(|Du|^{2}+2|\det Du|)^{-1} Δu$, where $u : M\times[0,\infty) \to N$ is an evolving map between compact flat surfaces. We use a tensor maximum principle for the induced metric to establish two-sided bounds on the singular values of Du, which shows tha…

In this paper we compute the Leray Schauder degree for a fourth order elliptic boundary value problem with exponential nonlinearity and Navier boundary condition. This will be made by proving a Poincare'-Hopf type theorem. Moreover by using this result, together with some quantitative results about the formal set of ba…

Paper proves new method for constructing initial data in general relativity.

We prove that the supremum of principal curvatures of a minimal embedded disc in hyperbolic three-space spanning a quasicircle in the boundary at infinity is estimated in a sublinear way by the norm of the quasicircle in the sense of universal Teichmüller space, if the quasicircle is sufficiently close to being the bou…

Paper finds conformal metrics on a disk with specific curvatures.

We extend the work of Simon and Wickramasekera, who constructed a large class of $C^{1,μ}$ multivalued solutions to the minimal surface equation, to produce $C^{1,μ}$ multivalued solutions to more general classes of elliptic equations and systems, including the minimal surface system with small boundary data and the La…

In this paper we classify convex compact ancient solutions to the affine curve shortening flow: namely, any convex compact ancient solution to the affine curve shortening flow must be a shrinking ellipse. The method combines a rescaling argument inspired by \cite{Wang}, affine invariance of the equation and monotonicit…

We prove a uniform C^alpha estimate for collapsing Calabi-Yau metrics on the total space of a proper holomorphic submersion over the unit ball in C^m. The usual methods of Calabi, Evans-Krylov, and Caffarelli do not apply to this setting because the background geometry degenerates. We instead rely on blowup arguments a…

Study shows long-term flow on special manifolds with positive Yamabe constant.

Uniform bounds are developed for derivatives of solutions of the $2$-dimensional constant negative curvature equation and the Weil-Petersson metric for the Teichmüller and moduli spaces. The dependence of the bounds on the geometry of the underlying Riemann surface is studied. The comparisons between the $C^0$, $C^{2,α…

Paper studies a generalized mean field equation on closed Riemann surfaces.

A celebrated theorem of Hadwiger states that the Euler-Poincaré characteristic is the the unique invariant and continuous valuation on the distributive lattice of compact polyhedra in R^n that assigns value one to each convex non-empty such polyhedron. This paper provides an analogue of Hadwiger's result for finitely p…

In this paper we study heat kernels associated to a Carnot group $G$, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics $σ_\e$ which converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on $G$ as $\e\to 0$. The main new contribution are Gaussian-type bounds on the heat kernel for the…

We prove an existence result for non rotational constant mean curvature ends in $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$, where $\mathbb{H}^2$ is the hyperbolic real plane. The value of the curvature is $h \, \in \, (0, 1/2)$. We use Schauder theory and a continuity method for solution of the prescribed mean curvature equation…

In this paper, we prove that there exists a dimensional constant $δ> 0$ such that given any background Kähler metric $ω$, the Calabi flow with initial data $u_0$ satisfying \begin{equation*} \partial \bar \partial u_0 \in L^\infty (M) \text{ and } (1- δ)ω< ω_{u_0} < (1+δ)ω, \end{equation*} admits a unique short time so…

In this paper, we introduce new methods for solving the vacuum Einstein constraints equations: the first one is based on Schaefer's fixed point theorem (known methods use Schauder's fixed point theorem) while the second one uses the concept of half-continuity coupled with the introduction of local supersolutions. These…

Study prescribed scalar curvature on orbifolds with isolated singularities.

A well-known conjecture of Caratheodory states that the number of umbilic points on a closed convex surface in ${\mathbb E}^3$ must be greater than one. In this paper we prove this for $C^{3+α}$-smooth surfaces. The Conjecture is first reformulated in terms of complex points on a Lagrangian surface in $TS^2$, viewed as…

The paper proves well-posedness of nonlocal PDEs related to stochastic control problems.

Motivated by applications to probability and mathematical finance, we consider a parabolic partial differential equation on a half-space whose coefficients are suitably Holder continuous and allowed to grow linearly in the spatial variable and which become degenerate along the boundary of the half-space. We establish e…

In this article we extend the classical definitions of equivariant cohomotopy theory to the setting of proper actions of Lie groups. We combine methods originally developed in the analysis of nonlinear differential equations, mainly in connection with Leray-Schauder theory, and on the other hand from developments of eq…

Using results from our companion article [arXiv:1112.4824v2] on a Schauder approach to existence of solutions to a degenerate-parabolic partial differential equation, we solve three intertwined problems, motivated by probability theory and mathematical finance, concerning degenerate diffusion processes. We show that th…

We prove existence of solutions to boundary value problems and obstacle problems for degenerate-elliptic, linear, second-order partial differential operators with partial Dirichlet boundary conditions using a new version of the Perron method. The elliptic operators considered have a degeneracy along a portion of the do…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) generate much richer function spaces than shallow networks. Since the function spaces induced by shallow networks have several approximation theoretic drawbacks, this explains, however, not necessarily the success of deep networks. In this article we take another route by comparing the expre…

Building on the line of work [DIRT15a], [DIRT15b], [NS17a], [DT17], [HLS18], [HS18] we continue the study of particle systems with singular interaction through hitting times. In contrast to the previous research, we (i) consider very general driving processes and interaction functions, (ii) allow for inhomogeneous conn…
