In this paper, we establish some optimal inequalities for the squared mean curvature in terms warping functions of a C-totally real doubly warped product submanifold of a locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifold with a pointwise ?-sectional curvature c. The equality case in the statement of inequalities is also considered. Moreover, some applications of obtained results are derived.

AbstractWe investigate strong maximum (and minimum) principles for fully nonlinear second-order equations on Riemannian manifolds that are non-totally degenerate and satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. Our results apply to a large class of nonlinear operators, among which Pucci’s extremal operators, some singular operators such as those modeled on the p- and $$\infty $$ ∞ -Laplacian, and mean curvature-type problems. As a byproduct, we establish new strong comparison principles for some second-order uniformly elliptic problems when the manifold has nonnegative sectional curvature.

The First Variation

Abstract We consider an asymmetric left-invariant norm ∥ ⋅ ∥ K {\|\cdot\|_{K}} in the first Heisenberg group ℍ 1 {\mathbb{H}^{1}} induced by a convex body K ⊂ ℝ 2 {K\subset\mathbb{R}^{2}} containing the origin in its interior. Associated to ∥ ⋅ ∥ K {\|\cdot\|_{K}} there is a perimeter functional, that coincides with the classical sub-Riemannian perimeter in case K is the closed unit disk centered at the origin of ℝ 2 {{\mathbb{R}}^{2}} . Under the assumption that K has C 2 {C^{2}} boundary with strictly positive geodesic curvature we compute the first variation formula of perimeter for sets with C 2 {C^{2}} boundary. The localization of the variational formula in the non-singular part of the boundary, composed of the points where the tangent plane is not horizontal, allows us to define a mean curvature function H K {H_{K}} out of the singular set. In the case of non-vanishing mean curvature, the condition that H K {H_{K}} be constant implies that the non-singular portion of the boundary is foliated by horizontal liftings of translations of ∂ ⁡ K {\partial K} dilated by a factor of 1 H K {\frac{1}{H_{K}}} . Based on this we can define a sphere 𝕊 K {\mathbb{S}_{K}} with constant mean curvature 1 by considering the union of all horizontal liftings of ∂ ⁡ K {\partial K} starting from ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) {(0,0,0)} until they meet again in a point of the vertical axis. We give some geometric properties of this sphere and, moreover, we prove that, up to non-homogeneous dilations and left-translations, they are the only solutions of the sub-Finsler isoperimetric problem in a restricted class of sets.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF). By imposing conditions associated with the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced MCF, and some special pinching conditions on the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface, we prove that the first nonzero closed eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator are monotonic under the forced MCF, respectively, which partially generalize Mao and Zhao’s work. Moreover, we give an example to specify applications of conclusions obtained above.

Abstract Let S be a surface with a metric d satisfying an upper curvature bound in the sense of Alexandrov (i.e. via triangle comparison). We show that an almost conformal harmonic map from a surface into ( S , d ) {(S,d)} is a branched covering. As a consequence, if ( S , d ) {(S,d)} is homeomorphically equivalent to the 2-sphere 𝕊 2 {\mathbb{S}^{2}} , then it is conformally equivalent to 𝕊 2 {\mathbb{S}^{2}} .

AbstractWe construct the ancient solutions of the hypersurface flows in Euclidean spaces studied by B. Andrews in 1994.As time {t\rightarrow 0^{-}} the solutions collapse to a round point where 0 is the singular time. But as {t\rightarrow-\infty} the solutions become more and more oval. Near the center the appropriately-rescaled pointed Cheeger–Gromov limits are round cylinder solutions {S^{J}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-J}}, {1\leq J\leq n-1}. These results are the analog of the corresponding results in Ricci flow ({J=n-1}) and mean curvature flow.
