We prove that simply connected open Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry, linear growth and sublinear filling growth (e.g. finite filling area) are simply connected at infinity.
We prove a Liouville property for any f-harmonic function with polynomial growth on a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) when the Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature is nonnegative and its diameter of geodesic sphere has sublinear growth.
The main results of this paper consists of two parts. Firstly, we obtain an almost rigidity theorem which says that on a RCD(0, N) space, when a domain between two level sets of a distance function has almost maximal volume compared to that of a cylinder, then this portion is close to a cylinder as a metric space. Seco…
Lower bounds on Ricci curvature limit the volumes of sets and the existence of harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds. In 1975, Shing Tung Yau proved that a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has no nonconstant harmonic functions of sublinear growth. In the same paper, Yau used this resul…
We study the growth of harmonic functions on complete Riemann-ian manifolds where the extrinsic diameter of geodesic spheres is sublinear. It is an generalization of a result of A. Kazue. We also get a Cheng and Yau estimates for the gradient of harmonic functions.
Suppose X is any finite complex with vanishing L^2 Betti number. We prove upper bounds on the Betti numbers for regular coverings of X, sublinear in the order of covering. The bounds are sensitive to the Novikov-Shubin invariants of X, and are improved in the presence of a spectral gap.
This paper concerns the L2 essential spectrum of the Laplacian Δ and the drift Laplacian Δf on complete Riemannian manifolds endowed with a weighted measure e−fdvolg. We prove that the essential spectrum of the drift Laplacian Δf is [0,+∞) provided the Bakry-Émery curvature tensor Ricf is …
We study both function theoretic and spectral properties on complete noncompact smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature. Among other things, we derive a gradient estimate for positive f-harmonic functions and obtain as a consequence the strong Liouville property under…
The paper extends a Liouville theorem to biharmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
problem Proving that biharmonic functions with certain growth conditions are constant or harmonic.
method Using a new local L2 estimate for the Laplacian of biharmonic functions combined with a mean value inequality.
result Any biharmonic function of subquadratic growth on a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature must be harmonic, and any of sublinear growth must be constant.
What are appropriate geometric conditions ensuring that a complete Riemannian 2-cylinder without conjugate points is flat? Examples with nonpositive curvature show that one has to assume that the ends of the cylinder open sublinearly. We show that sublinear growth of the ends is indeed sufficient if it is measured by t…
In this paper, we prove sharp gradient estimates for a positive solution to the heat equation ut=Δu+aulogu in complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. As its application, we show that if u is a positive solution of the equation ut=Δu and logu is of sublinear growth in both spatial and time directions the…
The paper proves a hierarchy of Liouville theorems for polyharmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
problem Establishing Liouville theorems for polyharmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
method A new L2 estimate for the Laplacian of a polyharmonic function, obtained by induction through a cutoff construction combined with a hole-filling argument.
result All polyharmonic functions of sublinear growth on manifolds of nonnegative Ricci curvature are constant.
The aim of this paper is to introduce the sublinear Higson corona and show that the sublinear Higson corona of Euclidean cone of P and X is decomposed into the product of P and that of X. Here P is a compact metric space and X is unbounded proper metric space. For example, the sublinear Higson corona of n-dimensional E…
We give a proof of the sublinear tracking property for sample paths of random walks on various groups acting on spaces with hyperbolic-like properties. As an application, we prove sublinear tracking in Teichmueller distance for random walks on mapping class groups, and on Cayley graphs of a large class of finitely gene…
We provide a general construction of time-consistent sublinear expectations on the space of continuous paths. It yields the existence of the conditional G-expectation of a Borel-measurable (rather than quasi-continuous) random variable, a generalization of the random G-expectation, and an optional sampling theorem that…
Sublinear functionals of random variables are known as sublinear expectations; they are convex homogeneous functionals on infinite-dimensional linear spaces. We extend this concept for set-valued functionals defined on measurable set-valued functions (which form a nonlinear space), equivalently, on random closed sets. …
For α∈(1,2), we present a generalized central limit theorem for α-stable random variables under sublinear expectation. The foundation of our proof is an interior regularity estimate for partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). A classical generalized central limit theorem is recovered as a special case, p…
Many popular random partition models, such as the Chinese restaurant process and its two-parameter extension, fall in the class of exchangeable random partitions, and have found wide applicability in model-based clustering, population genetics, ecology or network analysis. While the exchangeability assumption is sensib…
Let (Mn,g,e−fdv) be a smooth metric measure space of dimensional n. Suppose that v is a positive weighted p-eigenfunctions associated to the eigenvalues λ1,p on M, namely efdiv(e−f∣∇v∣p−2∇v)=−λ1,pvp−1. in the distribution sense. We first give a local gradient estimat…
In this work we consider adversarial contextual bandits with risk constraints. At each round, nature prepares a context, a cost for each arm, and additionally a risk for each arm. The learner leverages the context to pull an arm and then receives the corresponding cost and risk associated with the pulled arm. In additi…
