Estimates for special Lagrangian curvature equations in critical and convex cases.

We establish interior $C^2$ estimates for convex solutions of scalar curvature equation and $σ_2$-Hessian equation. We also prove interior curvature estimate for isometrically immersed hypersurfaces $(M^n,g)\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ with positive scalar curvature. These estimates are consequences of an interior estimate…

We prove a priori interior curvature estimates for hypersurfaces of prescribing scalar curvature equations in dimension three. The method is motivated by the integral method of Warren and Yuan. The new observation here is that the "Lagrangian" submanifold constructed similarly as Harvey and Lawson has bounded mean curv…

Paper proves gradient estimates for Lagrangian mean curvature equation.

In this paper we consider the evolution of a graph-like hypersurface by anisotropic mean curvature flow, under some restrictions on the anisotropic area integrand. We find interior estimates (in both time and space) on the gradient of such hypersurfaces, depending only on the height of the graph and the anisotropic are…

Derives Hessian estimates for Lagrangian mean curvature equation.

Local estimates of the maximal curvatures of admissible spacelike hypersurfaces in de Sitter space for k-symmetric curvature functions are obtained. They depend on interior and boundary data.

We extend the interior gradient estimate due to N. Korevaar and L. Simon for solutions of the mean curvature equation from the case of Euclidean graphs to the general case of Killing graphs. Our main application is the proof of existence of Killing graphs with prescribed mean curvature function for continuous boundary …

In this paper, we prove uniform curvature estimates for immersed stable free boundary minimal hypersurfaces which satisfy a uniform area bound. Our result is a natural generalization of the celebrated Schoen-Simon-Yau interior curvature estimates up to the free boundary. A direct corollary of our curvature estimates is…

Paper studies unique interior points and estimates for generalized translating soliton problems.

We show that for a very general class of curvature functions defined in the positive cone, the problem of finding a complete strictly locally convex hypersurface in $H^n+1$ satisfying $f(κ)=σ\in(0, 1)$ with a prescribed asymptotic boundary $Γ$ at infinity has at least one smooth solution with uniformly bounded hyperbol…

Let X be a toric surface with Delzant polygon P and u(t) be a solution of the Calabi flow equation on P. Suppose the Calabi flow exists in [0, T). By studying local estimates of the Riemann curvature and the geodesic distance under the Calabi flow, we prove a uniform interior estimate of u(t) for t < T.

The paper develops various estimates for solutions of a fourth order nonlinear PDE, which corresponds to prescribing the scalar curvature of a toric Kahler metric.

In this paper, we study the convexity, interior gradient estimate, Liouville type theorem and asymptotic behavior at infinity of translating solutions to mean curvature flow as well as the nonlinear flow by powers of the mean curvature.

Using the convex functions in Grassmannian manifolds we can carry out interior estimates for mean curvature flow of higher codimension. In this way some of the results of Ecker-Huisken can be generalized to higher codimension

Derives concavity inequality and estimates for $k$-Hessian equations.

We provide a direct proof of a non-collapsing estimate for compact hypersurfaces with positive mean curvature moving under the mean curvature flow: Precisely, if every point on the initial hypersurface admits an interior sphere with radius inversely proportional to the mean curvature at that point, then this remains tr…

We obtain an estimate for the norm of the second fundamental form of stable H-surfaces in Riemannian 3-manifolds with bounded sectional curvature. Our estimate depends on the distance to the boundary of the surface and on the bounds on the geometry of the ambient manifold but not on the manifold itself. We give some ap…

We consider graphs Sigma^n in R^m with prescribed mean curvature and flat normal bundle. Using techniques of Schoen, Simon and Yau, and Ecker-Huisken, we derive an interior curvature estimate of the form |A|^2<=C/R^2 up to dimension n<=5, where C is a constant depending on natural geometric data of Sigma^n only. This g…

Estimates for the norm of the second fundamental form, $|A|$, play a crucial role in studying the geometry of surfaces. In fact, when $|A|$ is bounded the surface cannot bend too sharply. In this paper we prove that for an embedded geodesic disk with bounded $L^2$ norm of $|A|$, $|A|$ is bounded at interior points, pro…

The study finds starshaped compact hypersurfaces in warped products with curvature estimates.

We consider a curvature flow $V=H$ in the band domain $Ω:=[-1,1]\times \R$, where, for a graphic curve $Γ_t$, $V$ denotes its normal velocity and $H$ denotes its curvature. If $Γ_t$ contacts the two boundaries $\partial_\pm Ω$ of $Ω$ with constant slopes, in 1993, Altschular and Wu \cite{AW1} proved that $Γ_t$ converge…

Study interior estimates for solutions of Poisson equation on Riemann surfaces.

We derive a weighted $L^2$-estimate of the Witten spinor in a complete Riemannian spin manifold $(M^n,g)$ of non-negative scalar curvature which is asymptotically Schwarzschild. The interior geometry of $M$ enters this estimate only via the lowest eigenvalue of the square of the Dirac operator on a conformal compactifi…

We consider embedded hypersurfaces evolving by fully nonlinear flows in which the normal speed of motion is a homogeneous degree one, concave or convex function of the principal curvatures, and prove a non-collapsing estimate: Precisely, the function which gives the curvature of the largest interior sphere touching the…

For a Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ and a compact domain $Ω\subset M^{n+1}$ bounded by a hypersurface $\partial Ω$ with normal curvature bounded below, estimates are obtained in terms of the distance from $O$ to $\partial Ω$ for the angle between the geodesic line joining a fixed interior point $O$ in $Ω$ to a point on…

We will discuss some sharp estimates for CMC graphs in a Riemannian 3-manifold MxR whose boundary is contained in a slice. We will start by giving sharp lower bounds for the geodesic curvature of the boundary and improve these bounds when assuming additional restrictions on the maximum height that such a surface reache…

In this paper we prove the interior gradient and second derivative estimates for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations determined by symmetric functions of eigenvalues of the Ricci or Schouten tensors. As an application we prove the existence of solutions to the equations when the manifold is locally conformall…

The notions of the interior and truncated connections of a nonholonomic manifold are introduced. A class of extended truncated connections is distinguished. For the case of a contact space with a Finsler metric, it is shown that there exists a unique extended truncated connection that satisfies additional properties. T…

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem of a complex Monge-Ampère equation on a ball in $\mathbb C^n$. With $\mathcal C^{1,α}$ (resp. $\mathcal C^{0,α}$) data, we prove an interior $\mathcal C^{1,α}$ (resp. $\mathcal C^{0,α}$) estimate for the solution. These estimates are generalized versions of the Bedford-T…

Consider a manifold with boundary, and such that the interior is equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We prove that, under mild asymptotic non-vanishing conditions on the scalar curvature, if the Levi-Civita connection of the interior does not extend to the boundary (because for example the interior is complete) w…
