Sharp sub-Gaussian bounds for subsolutions of Trudinger's equation on Riemannian manifolds.

New inequality criterion for a mean field equation on spheres.

Though Trudinger-Moser inequalities on compact Riemannian manifolds or Euclidean space are well understood, we know little about them on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we established respectively necessary condition and sufficient condition under which Trudinger-Moser inequalities hold on comp…

The second boundary value problem of the prescribed affine mean curvature equation is a nonlinear, fourth order, geometric partial differential equation. It was introduced by Trudinger and Wang in 2005 in their investigation of the affine Plateau problem in affine geometry. The previous works of Trudinger-Wang, Chau-We…

Let $Ω$ be an annulus. We prove that the mean field equation $-Δψ=\frac{e\sp{-βψ}}{\int\sbΩe\sp{-βψ}} $ admits a solution with zero boundary for $β\in (-16π,-8π)$. This is a supercritical case for the Moser-Trudinger inequality.

Classifies singular solutions to Liouville equation with constant Q-curvature metrics.

In this paper, we prove the existence of a classical solution to a Neumann boundary problem for Hessian equations in uniformly convex domain. The methods depend upon the established of a priori derivative estimates up to second order. So we give a affirmative answer to a conjecture of N. Trudinger in 1986.

Sharp inequalities on curved spaces with bounded curvature.

In this article and in its sequel we propose the study of certain discretizations of geometric evolution equations as an approach to the study of the existence problem of some elliptic partial differential equations of a geometric nature as well as a means to obtain interesting dynamics on certain infinite-dimensional …

The paper proves a Moser-Trudinger inequality on metric spaces with curvature-dimension conditions.

We prove Aubin's "Hypothese fondamentale" concerning the existence of Moser-Trudinger type inequalities on any integral compact Kähler manifold X. In the case of the anti-canonical class on a Fano manifold the constants in the inequalities are shown to only depend on the dimension of X (but there are counterexamples to…

We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted versions to more singular situations. Applications to Monge-Ampère equations of mean fi…

We study the blow-up behaviour of minimizing sequences for the singular Moser-Trudinger functional on compact surfaces. Assuming non-existence of minimum points, we give an estimate for the infimum value of the functional. This result can be applied to give sharp Onofri-type inequalities on the sphere in the presence o…

We prove the conjecture of Tian on the strong form of the Moser-Trudinger inequality for Kahler-Einstein manifolds with positive first Chern class, when there are no holomorphic vector fields, and, more generally, when the setting is invariant under a maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group.

In [16], we established Trudinger-Moser inequalities for complete noncompact Riemannian manifold on which the Ricci curvature has lower bound and the injectivity radius is strictly positive. In this note, we improve those inequalties when the manifold is the hyperbolic space. The method we used here is still gluing loc…

New non-quadratic hypersurfaces found for higher dimensions.

The paper proves a Moser-Trudinger inequality for zero-mean functions in 2D.

We derive the sharp Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequalities on the standard $n$-sphere and CR $(2n+1)$- sphere as the limit of the sharp fractional Sobolev inequalities for all $n\ge 1$. On the $2$-sphere and $4$-sphere, this was established recently by S.-Y. Chang and F. Wang. Our proof uses an alternative and elementary …

We first obtain the interior $C^{1,1}$-regularity and solvability for the degenerate real Monge-Ampère equation in a bounded, $C^3$-smooth and strictly convex domain in $\mathbb R^d$ ($d\ge2$), assuming that the boundary data is only globally $C^{1,1}$, and the $d$-th root of the nonnegative right-hand side is globally…

New non-quadratic Euclidean complete affine maximal type hypersurfaces found for N≥2, θ∈(0,(N-1)/N].

Sharp heat kernel and Green's function estimates on Euclidean volume growth manifolds.

We verify a conjecture of Gillet-Soulé. We prove that the determinant of the Laplacian on a line bundle over $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ is always bounded from above. This can also be viewed as a multi-particle generalization of the Moser-Trudinger Inequality. Furthermore, we conjecture that this functional achieves its maximum …

The Ma-Trudinger-Wang curvature --- or cross-curvature --- is an object arising in the regularity theory of optimal transportation. If the transportation cost is derived from a Hamiltonian action, we show its cross-curvature can be expressed in terms of the associated Jacobi fields. Using this expression, we show the l…

A classical result of Aubin states that the constant in Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality on $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ can be imporved for furnctions with zero first order moments of the area element. We generalize it to higher order moments case. These new inequalities bear similarity to a sequence of Lebedev-Milin type inequa…

Sharp inequalities for radial functions on hyperbolic spaces without boundary conditions.

In the first part of the paper we investigate some geometric features of Moser-Trudinger inequalities on complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds. By exploring rearrangement arguments, isoperimetric estimates, and gluing local uniform estimates via Gromov's covering lemma, we provide a Coulhon, Saloff-Coste and Varopo…

Uniform proof of Kähler-Einstein metrics with arbitrary polarizations.

Study on finite entropy and energy in Kähler geometry.

Suppose that $G=(V, E)$ is a finite graph with the vertex set $V$ and the edge set $E$. Let $Δ$ be the usual graph Laplacian. Consider the following nonlinear Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger type equation of the form $\left \{ \begin{array}{lcr} -Δu-αu=f(x,u),\\ u\in W^{1,2}(V),\\ \end{array} \right.$ on graph $G$, where $f(x…

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result, translated to the realm of convex geometry, thus confirms Ehrhart's volume conjecture fo…

The paper extends entropy concepts to Monge-Ampère measures with prescribed singularities.

We prove that the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold is equivalent to the properness of the energy functionals defined by Bando, Chen, Ding, Mabuchi and Tian on the set of Kahler metrics with positive Ricci curvature. We also prove that these energy functionals are bounded from below on this set i…

New geometric approach gives apriori estimate for optimal transport maps.

Motivated by a recent work of X. Chen and M. Zhu (Commun. Math. Stat., 1 (2013) 369-385), we establish a Trudinger-Moser inequality on compact Riemannian surface without boundary. The proof is based on blow-up analysis together with Carleson-Chang's result (Bull. Sci. Math. 110 (1986) 113-127). This inequality is diffe…

Given a smooth nonfocal compact Riemannian manifold, we show that the so-called Ma--Trudinger--Wang condition implies the convexity of injectivity domains. This improves a previous result by Loeper and Villani.

In this paper, we studied integrals involving both real and complex Hessian operators over bounded domain. Poincare type inequalities were proved in both cases which generalized a early results of Trudinger and Wang.

We consider a Monge-Ampère functional and its corresponding second boundary value problem, a nonlinear fourth order PDE with two Dirichlet boundary conditions. This problem was solved by Trudinger-Wang and Le under the assumption that the right hand side of the equation is nonpositive. We remove this assumption, to set…

Counterexamples to continuity of optimal transportation on Riemannian manifolds with everywhere positive sectional curvature are provided. These examples show that the condition A3w of Ma, Trudinger, & Wang is not guaranteed by positivity of sectional curvature.

Mabuchi introduced multiplier Hermitian structures on compact Kahler manifolds and defined metrics similar to Kahler-Einstein metrics under these structures. In this note we generalize the inequality of Moser-Trudinger type on Kahler-Einstein manifolds to this case.

Through the study of some elliptic and parabolic fully nonlinear PDEs, we establish conformal versions of quermassintegral inequality, the Sobolev inequality and the Moser-Trudinger inequality for the geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor on locally conformally flat manifolds.

New inequality on sphere generalizes circle inequality.

We define a new type of metric comparison similar to the comparison of Alexandrov. We show that it has strong connections to continuity of optimal transport between regular measures on a Riemannian manifold, in particular to the so called MTW condition introduced by Xi-Nan Ma, Neil Trudinger and Xu-Jia Wang.
