英文摘要：

In this paper, we would like to give an answer to \textbf{Problem 1} below issued firstly in [J. Mao, Eigenvalue estimation and some results on finite topological type, Ph.D. thesis, IST-UTL, 2013]. In fact, by imposing some conditions on the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced mean curvature flow considered here, we can obtain that the first eigenvalues of the Laplace and the $p$-Laplace operators are monotonic under this flow. Surprisingly, during this process, we get an interesting byproduct, that is, without any complicated constraint, we can give lower bounds for the first nonzero closed eigenvalue of the Laplacian provided additionally the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface satisfies a pinching condition.

Monotonicity theorems for Laplace Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds

For free boundary problems on Euclidean spaces, the monotonicity formulas of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman and Caffarelli-Jerison-Kenig are cornerstones for the regularity theory as well as the existence theory. In this article we establish the analogs of these results for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds. As an application we show that our monotonicity theorems can be employed to prove the Lipschitz continuity for the solutions of a general class of two-phase free boundary problems on Riemannian manifolds.

Unimodal value distribution of Laplace eigenfunctions and a monotonicity formula

Let $M$ be a compact, connected Riemannian manifold whose Riemannian volume measure is denoted by $σ$. Let $f: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a non-constant eigenfunction of the Laplacian. The random wave conjecture suggests that in certain situations, the value distribution of $f$ under $σ$ is approximately Gaussian. Write $μ$ for the measure whose density with respect to $σ$ is $|\nabla f|^2$. We observe that the value distribution of $f$ under $μ$ admits a unimodal density attaining its maximum at the origin. Thus, in a sense, the zero set of an eigenfunction is the largest of all level sets.…

Isoperimetric inequalities for eigenvalues by inverse mean curvature flow

By studying the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalues of Laplace and p-Laplace operators on a closed convex hypersurface $M^n$ which evolves under inverse mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, the isoperimetric lower bounds for both eigenvalues were founded.

Eigenvalue monotonicity for the Ricci-Hamilton flow, revised version

This is a revised version of our short note [arxiv.math.DG/0403065] where we discuss the monotonicity of the eigen-values of the Laplacian operator to the Ricci-Hamilton flow on a compact or a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the eigenvalue of the Lapacian operator on a compact domain associated with the evolving Ricci flow is non-decreasing provided the scalar curvature having a non-negative lower bound and Einstein tensor being not too negative. This result will be useful in the study of blow-up models of the Ricci-Hamilton flow. We remark that using our idea, D.Kokotov…

The first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on time dependent Riemannian metrics

Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold ($n>1$) whose metric $g(t)$ evolves by the generalized abstract geometric flow. This paper discusses the evolution, monotonicity and differentiability for the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on $(M,g(t))$ with respect to time evolution. We prove that the first nonzero $p$-eigenvalue is monotone nondecreasing along the flow under certain geometric condition and that the first eigenvalue is differentiable almost everywhere. When $p=2$, we recover the corresponding results for the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator. Our results prov…

Geometric aspects of p-capacitary potentials

We provide monotonicity formulas for solutions to the p-Laplace equation defined in the exterior of a convex domain. A number of analytic and geometric consequences are derived, including the classical Minkowski inequality as well as new characterizations of rotationally symmetric solutions and domains. The proofs rely on the conformal splitting technique introduced by the second author in collaboration with V. Agostiniani.

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of weighted $p$-Laplacian along the Ricci-Bourguignon flow

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold with metric $g$, $dμ=e^{-ϕ(x)}dν$ be the weighted measure and $Δ_{p,ϕ}$ be the weighted $p$-Laplacian. In this article we will investigate monotonicity for the first eigenvalue problem of the weighted $p$-Laplace operator acting on the space of functions along the Ricci-Bourguignon flow on closed Riemannian manifolds. We find the first variation formula for the eigenvalues of the weighted $p$-Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold evolving by the Ricci-Bourguignon flow and we obtain various monotonic quantities. At the end we find som…

Entropy and lowest eigenvalue on evolving manifolds

In this note we determine the first two derivatives of the classical Boltzmann-Shannon entropy of the conjugate heat equation on general evolving manifolds. Based on the second derivative of the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, we construct Perelman's F and W entropy in abstract geometric flows. Monotonicity of the entropies holds when a technical condition is satisfied. This condition is satisfied on static Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, for Hamilton's Ricci flow, List's extended Ricci flow, Müller's Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow and Lorentzian mean curvature flo…

Trace identities for commutators, with applications to the distribution of eigenvalues

We prove trace identities for commutators of operators, which are used to derive sum rules and sharp universal bounds for the eigenvalues of periodic Schroedinger operators and Schroedinger operators on immersed manifolds. In particular, we prove bounds on the eigenvalue lambda_{N+1} in terms of the lower spectrum, bounds on ratios of means of eigenvalues, and universal monotonicity properties of eigenvalue moments, which imply sharp versions of Lieb-Thirring inequalities. In the geometric context we derive a version of Reilly's inequality, bounding the eigenvalue lambda_{N+1} of the Laplace-B…

Local gradient estimates of p-harmonic functions, 1/H-flow, and an entropy formula

In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p-harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the 1/H (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp volume growth assumption. In the second part of this paper, we consider two parabolic analogues of the p-Laplace equation and prove sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions to these eq…

Keller-Osserman type conditions for differential inequalities with gradient terms on the Heisenberg group

The aim of this paper is to study the qualitative behaviour of non-negative entire solutions of certain differential inequalities involving gradient terms on the Heisenberg group. We focus our investigation on the two classes of inequalities of the form $Δ^ϕu \ge f(u)l(|\nabla u|)$ and $Δ^ϕu \ge f(u) - h(u) g(|\nabla u|)$, where $f,l,h,g$ are non-negative continuous functions satisfying certain monotonicity properties. The operator $Δ^ϕ$, called the $ϕ$-Laplacian, can be viewed as a natural generalization of the $p$-Laplace operator recently considered by various authors in this setting. We pr…
