We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

The paper establishes maximum principles and stochastic completeness for pseudo-Hermitian manifolds.
The strong maximum principle is proved to hold for weak (in the sense of support functions) sub- and super-solutions to a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations that includes the mean curvature equation for spacelike hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian manifold. As one application a Lorentzian warped product splittin…
We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for smooth subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary. The boundary regularity property of the smooth subsolutions along this boundary…
Based on ideas of L. Alías, D. Impera and M. Rigoli developed in "Hypersurfaces of constant higher order mean curvature in warped products", we develope a fairly general weak/Omori-Yau maximum principle for trace operators. We apply this version of maximum principle to generalize several higher order mean curvature est…
The aim of this paper is to introduce new forms of the weak and Omori-Yau maximum principles for linear operators, notably for trace type operators, and show their usefulness, for instance, in the context of PDE's and in the theory of hypersurfaces. In the final part of the paper we consider a large class of non-linear…
Proves a Schwarz-type lemma for noncompact manifolds with boundary.
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical technique which allows us to express the joint distribution of a Markov process and its running maximum (or minimum) through the marginal distribution of the process itself. This technique is an extension of the classical reflection principle for Brownian motion, and it is o…
We provide a probabilistic approach to studying minimal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Following a discussion of the basic relationship between Brownian motion on a surface and minimality of the surface, we introduce a way of coupling Brownian motions on two minimal surfaces. This coupling is then used …
Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is an outstanding result for solving optimal control problems by means of optimizing a specific function on some particular variables, the so called controls. However, this is not always enough for solving all these problems. A high order maximum principle (Krener, 1977) must be used in o…
The paper explores geometric influences on PDE solutions on manifolds.
Using a deep criteria due to Pigola, Rigoli and Setti, we prove that a geodesically complete, properly immersed submanifold M of a stochastically complete Riemannian manifold N is stochastically complete. This implies that the weak Omori-Yau maximum principle holds on M. As geometric application, we prove sectional cur…
This work explores duality between nonlinear potential theory and geometry.
In this paper we extend to non-compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary the use of two important tools in the geometric analysis of compact spaces, namely, the weak maximum principle for subharmonic functions and the integration by parts. The first one is a new form of the classical Ahlfors maximum principle whereas …

The paper examines partial regularity of Lipschitz solutions to minimal surface system.
In this paper we show how techniques coming from stochastic analysis, such as stochastic completeness (in the form of the weak maximum principle at infinity), parabolicity and -Liouville type results for the weighted Laplacian associated to the potential may be used to obtain triviality, rigidity results, and scal…
In this paper we study the behavior of the scalar curvature of a complete hypersurface immersed with constant mean curvature into a Riemannian space form of constant curvature, deriving a sharp estimate for the infimum of . Our results will be an application of a weak Omori-Yau maximum principle due to Pigola, R…
We prove that complete submanifolds, on which the Omori-Yau weak maximum principle for the Hessian holds, with low codimension and bounded by cylinders of small radius must have points rich in large positive extrinsic curvature. The lower the codimension is, the richer such points are. The smaller the radius is, the la…

New Bianchi-convex sets generalize Ricci flow maximum principle.
In this paper we present a proof of a Neumann type maximum principle for the Laplace operator on compact Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper we characterize the degenerate elliptic equations F(D^2u)=0 whose viscosity subsolutions, (F(D^2u) \geq 0), satisfy the strong maximum principle. We introduce an easily computed function f(t) for t > 0, determined by F, and we show that the strong maximum principle holds depending on whether the integral …
Study on maximum principles for nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds.
The aim of this paper is to prove some classification results for generic shrinking Ricci solitons. In particular, we show that every three dimensional generic shrinking Ricci soliton is given by quotients of either $\mathds{S}^3$, $\erre\times\mathds{S}^2$ or $\erre^3$, under some very weak conditions on the vector fi…

In this paper we prove two extensions of Hamilton's maximal principle for systems pf parabolic equations which sould be useful for the study of the Ricci flow and some other geometric evolution equations. One extension is a time-dependent maximum principle and the other is a time-dependent maximum principle subject to …
In this work we consider viscosity solutions to second order partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds. We prove maximum principles for solutions to Dirichlet problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Using a different method, we generalize maximum principles of Omori and Yau to a viscosity v…
This article studies a discrete geometric structure on triangulated manifolds and an associated curvature flow (combinatorial Yamabe flow). The associated evolution of curvature appears to be like a heat equation on graphs, but it can be shown to not satisfy the maximum principle. The notion of a parabolic-like operato…
