New positive mass theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds using Green functions.

We derive a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with boundary whose mean curvature satisfies a sharp estimate involving the conformal Green's function. The theorem also holds if the conformal Green's function is replaced by the standard Green's function for the Laplacian operator. As an application,…

In this paper, we define the Green function for the Dirac operator under two local boundary conditions: the condition associated with a chirality operator (also called the chiral bag boundary condition) and the $\MIT$ bag boundary condition. Then we give some applications of these constructions for each Green function.…

In a conformal class of metrics with positive Yamabe invariant, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of metrics with positive Q curvature.

Study on a Bahri-Brezis problem on hyperbolic manifolds.

This work generalizes a construction by Habermann and Jost of a canonical metric in a Yamabe-positive conformal class, which uses the Green function of the conformal Laplacian. In dimension $n=2k+1$, $2k+2$, or $2k+3$, if the $k$-th GJMS operator $P_k$ admits a Green function, the constant term of its singularity is sh…

We prove that under suitable assumptions, the constant term in the Green function of the Paneitz-Branson operator on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is positive unless $(M,g)$ is conformally diffeomophic to the standard sphere. The proof is inspired by the positive mass theorem on spin manifolds by Ammann-Humbert…

We study several quantities associated to the Green's function of a multiply connected domain in the complex plane. Among them are some intrinsic properties such as geodesics, curvature, and $L^2$-cohomology of the capacity metric and critical points of the Green's function. The principal idea used is an affine scaling…

Survey on rigidity and almost rigidity of Green functions in non-negative Ricci curvature spaces.

In this paper, we prove a gap result for a locally conformally flat complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with bounded non-negative Ricci curvature and a scalar curvature average condition. We show that if it has positive Green function, then it is flat. This result is proved by setting up new global Yamabe flow. Ot…

New estimates for Green's functions in varying Kähler metrics.

We prove structure theorems for complete manifolds satisfying both the Ricci curvature lower bound and the weighted Poincaré inequality. In the process, a sharp decay estimate for the minimal positive Green's function is obtained. This estimate only depends on the weight function of the Poincaré inequality, and yields …

Study asymptotics of Poisson kernel and Green's functions for fractional conformal Laplacian.

Discrete Green's functions are the inverses or pseudo-inverses of combinatorial Laplacians. We present compact formulas for discrete Green's functions, in terms of the eigensystems of corresponding Laplacians, for products of regular graphs with or without boundary. Explicit formulas are derived for the cycle, torus, a…

GF-Net learns Green's functions for linear reaction-diffusion equations.

We develop heat kernel and Green's function estimates for manifolds with positive bottom spectrum. The results are then used to establish existence and sharp estimates of the solution to the Poisson equation on such manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. As an application, we show that the curvature of a steady …

In this paper, we give a sharp spectral characterization of conformally compact Einstein manifolds with conformal infinity of positive Yamabe type in dimension $n+1>3$. More precisely, we prove that the largest real scattering pole of a conformally compact Einstein manifold $(X,g)$ is less than $\ndemi -1$ if and only …

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact conformally flat manifold of dimension $n\geq4$ with positive scalar curvature. According to a positive mass theorem by Schoen and Yau, the constant term in the development of the Green function of the conformal Laplacian is positive if $(M,g)$ is not conformally equivalent to the sphere. On sp…
