In this paper, we study the volume growth property of a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold $X$. We improve the volume growth theorem of Calabi (1975) and Yau (1976), Cheeger, Gromov and Taylor (1982). Then we use our new result to…

Through the analyses of volume-forms in differentiable manifolds, it is shown that the usual way of defining minimal action principles for field theory on curved space-times is not appropriate on non-riemannian manifolds. An alternative…

In this note, we establish a boundary maximum principle for a class of stationary pairs of varifolds satisfying a fixed contact angle condition in any compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary.

In this paper we derive a precise estimate on the growth of potential functions of complete noncompact shrinking solitons. Based on this, we prove that a complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has at most Euclidean volume…

For any complete and noncompact manifold $M$ with $\mathrm{Ric}\ge 0$, we define a function $\mathrm{RV}(s)$ that describes the growth of relative volume asymptotically $$\mathrm{RV}(s)=\limsup_{r\to\infty} \dfrac{\mathrm{vol}…

This paper is about the influence of Geometry on the qualitative behaviour of solutions of quasilinear PDEs on Riemannian manifolds. Motivated by examples arising, among others, from the theory of submanifolds, in particular by the study of…

In this paper, we obtain the existence criteria for a geometic flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Our results can be regarded as a real version of Lee-Tam [19]. As an application, we prove that a complete noncompact Hessian…

In this paper, we investigate the strong maximum principle for generalized solutions of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations. We prove that the strong maximum principle holds at points where the function is strictly convex but not necessarily…

We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $\mathbb{R}^{3}_{\raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface…

We develop a min-max theory for hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in noncompact manifolds, applicable to prescription functions that do not change sign outside a compact set. We use this theory to prove new existence results for…

We obtain a maximum principle, and "a priori" upper estimates for solutions of a class of non linear singular elliptic differential inequalities on Riemannian manifolds under the sole geometrical assumption of volume growth conditions.…

Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, for $3 \leq n \leq 7$, and non-negative Ricci curvature. Let $g = \phi^2 g_0$ be a metric in the conformal class of $g_0$. We show that there exists a smooth closed embedded…

In this paper we establish new Calabi-Bernstein results for maximal surfaces immersed into a Lorentzian product space of the form $M^2\times\mathbb{R}_1$, where $M^2$ is a connected Riemannian surface and $M^2\times\mathbb{R}_1$ is endowed…

Given orientable Riemannian manifolds $M^n$ and $\bar M^{n+1},$ we study flows $F_t:M^n\rightarrow\bar M^{n+1},$ called Weingarten flows,in which the hypersurfaces $F_t(M)$ evolve in the direction of their normal vectors with speed given by…

The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…

Let $M$ be an open (i.e. complete and noncompact) manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. In this paper, we study whether the volume growth order of $M$ is always greater than or equal to the dimension of some (or every) asymptotic cone…
