AbstractWe consider elliptic operators with measurable coefficients and Robin boundary conditions on a bounded domain {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}} and show that the first eigenfunction v satisfies {v(x)\geq\delta>0} for all {x\in\overline{\Omega}}, even if the boundary {\partial\Omega} is only Lipschitz continuous. Under such weak regularity assumptions the Hopf–Oleĭnik boundary lemma is not available; instead we use a new approach based on an abstract positivity improving condition for semigroups that map {L_{p}(\Omega)} into {C(\overline{\Omega})}. The same tool also yields corresponding results for Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions. Finally, we show that our results can be used to derive strong minimum and maximum principles for parabolic and elliptic equations.

AbstractWe present some comparison results for solutions to certain non-local elliptic and parabolic problems that involve the fractional Laplacian operator and mixed boundary conditions, given by a zero Dirichlet datum on part of the complementary of the domain and zero Neumann data on the rest. These results represent a non-local generalization of a Hopf's lemma for elliptic and parabolic problems with mixed conditions. In particular we prove the non-local version of the results obtained by Dávila and Dávila and Dupaigne for the classical cases= 1 in [23, 24] respectively.

Abstract We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection. We define a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions and find the boundary stress tensor in the Chern-Simons formalism. Using this variational principle as the departure point, we show how to treat other choices of boundary conditions in this formalism, such as, including the mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation.
