New domains found in hyperbolic space solve a specific elliptic problem.

We find exact solutions describing Ricci flows of four dimensional pp-waves nonlinearly deformed by two/three dimensional solitons. Such solutions are parametrized by five dimensional metrics with generic off-diagonal terms and connections with nontrivial torsion which can be related, for instance, to antisymmetric ten…

We prove that there is no nontrivial homogeneous order 2 solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in dimension 4.

New solutions found for Ginzburg-Landau equations on complex manifolds.

We use min-max techniques to produce nontrivial solutions $u_ε:M\to \mathbb{R}^2$ of the Ginzburg-Landau equation $Δu_ε+\frac{1}{ε^2}(1-|u_ε|^2)u_ε=0$ on a given compact Riemannian manifold, whose energy grows like $|\logε|$ as $ε\to 0$. When the degree one cohomology $H^1_{dR}(M)=0$, we show that the energy of these s…

In this paper we explore the connection between special degenerations of algebraic manifolds and geodesics in the space of Kahler metrics. We provide a new and general geometric construction of nontrivial solutions for the geodesic equation. We show how to associate to any special nontrivial degeneration a geodesic of …

A metric projective structure is a manifold equipped with the unparametrised geodesics of some pseudo-Riemannian metric. We make acomprehensive treatment of such structures in the case that there is a projective Weyl curvature nullity condition. The analysis is simplified by a fundamental and canonical 2-tensor invaria…

The paper studies Vafa-Witten equations on Kaehler manifolds and identifies obstructions to nontrivial solutions.

Using the `Riemann Problem with zeros' method, Ward has constructed exact solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional integrable Chiral Model, which exhibit solitons with nontrivial scattering. We give a correspondence between what we conjecture to be all pure soliton solutions and certain holomorphic vector bundles on a compact …

We construct a new class of exact solutions describing spacetimes possessing Lie algebroid symmetry. They are described by generic off-diagaonal 5D metrics embedded in bosonic string gravity and possess nontrivial limits to the Einstein gravity. While we focus on nonholonomic vielbein transforms of the Schwarzschild me…

We outline a new geometric method of constructing exact solutions of gravitational field equations parametrized by generic off-diagonal metrics, anholonomic frames and possessing, in general, nontrivial torsion and nonmetricity. The formalism of nonlinear connections is elaborated for (pseudo) Riemannian and Einstein-C…

A nontrivial smooth steady incompressible Euler flow in three dimensions with compact support is constructed. Another uncommon property of this solution is the dependence between the Bernoulli function and the pressure.

We show that a wide range of overdetermined boundary problems for semilinear equations with position-dependent nonlinearities admits nontrivial solutions. The result holds true both on the Euclidean space and on compact Riemannian manifolds. As a byproduct of the proofs we also obtain some rigidity, or partial symmetry…

We study complete Riemannian manifolds satisfying the equation $Ric+\nabla^2 f-\frac{1}{m}df\otimes df=0$ by studying the associated PDE $Δ_f f + mμe^{2f/m}=0$ for $μ\leq 0$. By developing a gradient estimate for $f$, we show there are no nonconstant solutions. We then apply this to show that there are no nontrivial Ri…

In this article we consider nonholonomic deformations of disk solutions in general relativity to generic off-diagonal metrics defining knew classes of exact solutions in 4D and 5D gravity. These solutions possess Lie algebroid symmetries and local anisotropy and define certain generalizations of manifolds with Killing …

Persistent elements are ubiquitous in knot groups, especially for hyperbolic knots.

New study confirms some mean curvature flow solutions have bounded mean curvature.

In this paper, we consider the indefinite scalar curvature problem on $R^n$. We propose new conditions on the prescribing scalar curvature function such that the scalar curvature problem on $R^n$ (similarly, on $S^n$) has at least one solution. The key observation in our proof is that we use the bifurcation method to g…

We establish local elliptic and parabolic gradient estimates for positive smooth solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation on a smooth metric measure space. As applications, we determine various conditions on the equation's coefficients and the growth of solutions that guarantee the nonexistence of nontrivial positiv…

The paper studies CR Yamabe solutions on Sasakian manifolds with nonnegative curvature.

We classify quasilinear systems in Riemann invariants whose characteristic webs are linearizable on every solution. Although the linearizability of an individual web is a rather nontrivial differential constraint, the requirement of linearizability of characteristic webs on all solutions imposes simple second-order con…

In this paper, we establish gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following equation with respect to the $p$-Laplacian $Δ_{p}u=-λ|u|^{p-2}u$ with $p>1$ on a given complete Riemannian manifold. Consequently, we derive upper bound estimates of the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian.

We study the following $1$-Yamabe equation on a connected finite graph $Δ_1u+g\mathrm{Sgn}(u)=h|u|^{α-1}\mathrm{Sgn}(u),$ where $Δ_1$ is the discrete $1$-Laplacian, $α>1$ and $g, h>0$ are known. We show that the above $1$-Yamabe equation always has a nontrivial solution $u\geq0$, $u\neq0$.

The article characterizes a hemisphere using a Laplace operator and a differential equation.

Solutions of an implicit ODE form a web. Already for cubic ODEs the 3-web of solutions has a nontrivial local invariant, namely the curvature form. Thus any local classification of implicit ODEs necessarily has functional moduli if no restriction on the class of ODEs is imposed. Here the most symmetric case of hexagona…

In this paper, we consider an obstruction to asymptotic Chow-semistability of a polarized Kaehler algebraic manifold. Even when a linear algebraic group of positive dimension acts nontrivially and holomorphically on a polarized Kaehler algebraic manifold with constant scalar curvature, the vanishing of the obstruction …

In this paper, we give some examples of area minimizing surfaces to clarify some well-known features of these surfaces in more general settings. The first example is about Meeks-Yau's result on embeddedness of solution to the Plateau problem. We construct an example of a simple closed curve in R^3 which lies in the bou…

In this article, it is proved that the eigenvalue variety of the exterior of a nontrivial, non-Hopf, Brunnian link in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ contains a nontrivial component of maximal dimension. This generalises, for Brunnian links, the nontriviality of the $A$-polynomial of a nontrivial knot in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$.

In this paper, we develop a min-max theory for the construction of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in an arbitrary closed manifold. As a corollary, we prove the existence of a nontrivial, smooth, closed, almost embedded, CMC hypersurface of any given mean curvature $c$. Moreover…

We study Bogomolny equations on $R^2\times S^1$. Although they do not admit nontrivial finite-energy solutions, we show that there are interesting infinite-energy solutions with Higgs field growing logarithmically at infinity. We call these solutions periodic monopoles. Using Nahm transform, we show that periodic monop…

Smooth HP^2 bundle over S^4 with nontrivial A-genus found.

Recently, Mahoney and Orecchia demonstrated that popular diffusion-based procedures to compute a quick \emph{approximation} to the first nontrivial eigenvector of a data graph Laplacian \emph{exactly} solve certain regularized Semi-Definite Programs (SDPs). In this paper, we extend that result by providing a statistica…

In this note, we study Q-curvature flow on $S^4$ with indefinite nonlinearity. Our result is that the prescribed Q-curvature problem on $S^4$ has a solution provided the prescribed Q-curvature $f$ has its positive part, which possesses non-degenerate critical points such that $Δ_{S^4} f\not=0$ at the saddle points and …
