Biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic conformally flat space are studied in this paper. The equation of such hypersurfaces is derived and is used to determine the conformally flat metric $f^{-2}\delta_{ij}$ on the Euclidean space…

Under suitable conditions on the range of the Gauss map of a complete submanifold of Euclidean space with parallel mean curvature, we construct a strongly subharmonic function and derive a-priori estimates for the harmonic Gauss map. The…

It is known that the $L^{2}$-norms of a harmonic function over spheres satisfies some convexity inequality strongly linked to the Almgren's frequency function. We examine the $L^{2}$-norms of harmonic functions over a wide class of evolving…

We prove the Harnack inequality for antisymmetric $s$-harmonic functions, and more generally for solutions of fractional equations with zero-th order terms, in a general domain. This may be used in conjunction with the method of moving…

We provide a sharp monotonicity theorem about the distribution of subharmonic functions on manifolds, which can be regarded as a new, measure theoretic form of the uncertainty principle. As an illustration of the scope of this result, we…

We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…

The mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semicontinuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalize subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of…

Let $m,n\geq 1$ are integers and $D$ be a domain in the $$ $\mathbb C^n$ or in the $m$-dimensional real space $\mathbb R^m$. We build positive subharmonic functions on $D$ vanishing on the boundary $\partial D$ of $D$. We use such (test)…

We state and prove a corrected version of a theorem of Singerman, which relates the existence of symmetries (anticonformal involutions) of a quasiplatonic Riemann surface $\mathcal S$ (one uniformised by a normal subgroup $N$ of finite…

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties.…

We give a characterization of harmonic and subharmonic functions in terms of their mean values in balls and on spheres. This includes the converse of an inequality of Beardon's for subharmonic functions. We also obtain integral inequalities…

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic…

The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for…

In this paper we generalise a celebrated result of Milnor that characterises whether a rotationally symmetric surface is parabolic or hyperbolic to the case of biharmonic functions.

We prove that in a Riemannian manifold $M$, each function whose Hessian is proportional the metric tensor yields a weighted monotonicity theorem. Such function appears in the Euclidean space, the round sphere $S^n$ and the hyperbolic space…

On H-type sub-Riemannian manifolds we establish sub-Hessian and sub-Laplacian comparison theorems which are uniform for a family of approximating Riemannian metrics converging to the sub-Riemannian one. We also prove a sharp sub-Riemannian…

Results involving various mean value properties are reviewed for harmonic, biharmonic and metaharmonic functions. It is also considered how the standard mean value property can be weakened to imply harmonicity and belonging to other classes…

In this paper we prove a criterion for plurisubharmonic functions in terms of integral mean by complex ellipsoids. Moreover, by using the criterion we prove an analogue of Blaschke-Privalov theorem for plurisubharmonic functions.

In this article, we investigate the weighted $m-$subharmonic functions. We shall give some properties of this class and consider its relation to the $m-$Cegrell classes. We also prove an integration theorem and an almost everywhere…

We give an alternate proof to the following generalization of the uniformization theorem by Bonk and Kleiner. Any linearly locally connected and Ahlfors 2-regular closed metric surface is quasisymmetrically equivalent to a model surface of…
