Abstract

We study the quasilinear Liouville equation \[ -\Delta_n u=e^u \] on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Our first result shows that, if a solution $u$ satisfies the optimal logarithmic lower bound \[ u(x)\ge -\frac{n^2}{n-1}\log r(x)+o(\log r(x)) \quad \text{as }r(x)\to+\infty, \] then the underlying manifold is isometric to the Euclidean space and $u$ is a standard bubble solution. Both the leading coefficient and the remainder term in the assumption are sharp. The key ingredient in the proof is the connection between the logarithmic lower bound and a sharp upper bound on the total volume of the solution. We also formulate a conjecture concerning the interaction between the sub-logarithmic decay of solutions and the underlying geometry, and prove it for $n=2$, as well as for $n\ge 3$ under a strengthened assumption.

Uniform $L^\infty$ estimates for complex hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds

We develop a pluripotential approach to complex Hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. In this setting, the lack of closedness of the background metric introduces torsion terms that prevent a direct extension of the K\"ahler theory. Our main result is a uniform $L^\infty$ estimate for bounded $\omega$-$m$-su...

Liouville Rigidity for Real and Complex Degenerate Hessian Equations

We prove Liouville rigidity theorems for translation-invariant real and complex Hessian equations in the viscosity sense, where the PDE is encoded by an admissible set $\mathcal{A}$. The main structural notion is Liouville admissibility, a recursive geometric condition requiring each quotient set to be either boundary...

Harnack Theory and Rigidity for Singular and Degenerate Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations with Hamiltonians

We study regularity, Harnack inequalities, Liouville rigidity, and principal eigenvalues for viscosity solutions of singular or degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations $\Phi(x,|\nabla u|)F(D^2u)-H(x,\nabla u)+c(x)|u|^{i(\Phi)}u=h(x)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$, where $\Phi$ describes the singular or degenerate...

Positive $\tau$-bi-Ricci curvature and Mean curvature flow with surgery in hyperbolic space

Let $n\geq3$ and $0\leq\tau\leq2$. We prove that every smooth closed connected immersed hypersurface in hyperbolic space whose induced metric has positive $\tau$-bi-Ricci curvature admits a mean curvature flow with surgery which has only finitely many surgery times and terminates. In the range compatible with cylindric...

Open-Loop Riemannian Frank--Wolfe: Fast Rates under Error Bounds and Scaling Inequalities

We explore fast convergence of the Riemannian Frank--Wolfe method for smooth geodesically convex optimization over compact feasible sets. Hadamard manifolds are the main setting. On general complete manifolds, the analysis accounts for all feasible minimizing geodesics. We consider the open loop step-size $\eta_k=a/(k+...

Sharp partial regularity of Hamiltonian stationary and special Lagrangian graphs

We prove a sharp partial regularity result for Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian Lipschitz submanifolds in arbitrary smooth almost K\"ahler manifolds: every weak solution of the corresponding equation is smooth away from a relatively closed singular set of Hausdorff dimension at most $n-5$. We show that the estimate is...
