We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $M \times M$ which are…

For each degree p, we construct on any closed manifold a family of Riemannian metrics, with fixed volume such that any positive eigenvalues of the rough and Hodge Laplacians acting on differential p-forms converge to zero. In particular, on…

We examine the problem of defining Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics for a particle moving on a quantum plane $Q_{q,p}$. For Lagrangian mechanics, we first define a tangent quantum plane $TQ_{q,p}$ spanned by noncommuting particle…

We show that the variational inequality $VI(C,A)$ has a unique solution for a relaxed $(\gamma, r)$-cocoercive, $\mu$-Lipschitzian mapping $A: C\to H$ with $r>\gamma \mu^2$, where $C$ is a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space…

We obtain a global version of the Hamiltonian KAM theorem for invariant Lagrangean tori by glueing together local KAM conjugacies with help of a partition of unity. In this way we find a global Whitney smooth conjugacy between a…

We study lower semi-continuity properties of the volume, i.e., the surface area, of a closed Lagrangian manifold with respect to the Hofer- and $\gamma$-distance on a class of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds Hamiltonian isotopic to each…

We study a class of weakly coupled Hamilton-Jacobi systems with a specific aim to perform a qualitative analysis in the spirit of weak KAM theory. Our main achievement is the definition of a family of related action functionals containing…

We consider weak solutions to very singular parabolic equations involving a one-Laplace-type operator, which is singular and degenerate, and a $p$-Laplace-type operator with $\frac{2n}{n+2}<p<\infty$, where $n\ge 2$ denotes the space…

We extend weak KAM theory to Lagrangians that are defined only on the horizontal distribution of a sub-Riemannian manifold. The main tool is Tonelli's theorem which allows dispending on a Lagrangian dynamics.

We study solutions of modified Hamilton-Jacobi equations H(du/dq,q) + cu(q) = 0, q \in M, on a compact manifold M .

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a smooth compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary, $\Lambda_g: f\mapsto \partial_\nu u|_{\partial\Omega}$ its DN map, where $u$ obeys $\Delta_g u=0$ in $\Omega$ and $u|_{\partial \Omega}=f$. The Electric…

We consider the Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[{H}(x,Du)+\lambda(x)u=c,\quad x\in M, \] where $M$ is a connected, closed and smooth Riemannian manifold. The functions ${H}(x,p)$ and $\lambda(x)$ are continuous. ${H}(x,p)$ is convex, coercive…

In this work we study an inverse problem for the minimal surface equation on a Riemannian manifold $(\mathbb{R}^{n},g)$ where the metric is of the form $g(x)=c(x)(\hat{g}\oplus e)$. Here $\hat{g}$ is a simple Riemannian metric on…

Using an rotation of Yuan, we observe that the gradient graph of any semiconvex function is a Liouville manifold, that is, does not admit bounded harmonic functions. As a corollary, we find that any entire solution of the fourth order…

One of the difficulties encountered when studying physical theories in discrete space-time is that of describing the underlying continuous symmetries (like Lorentz, or Galilei invariance). One of the ways of addressing this difficulty is to…

We consider a Hamiltonian torus action on a compact connected symplectic manifold M. For a certain class of Lagrangian submanifolds Q of M we show that the image of Q under the momentum map is convex. As an application we complete the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ its frame bundle. We construct new examples of Riemannian metrics on $L(M)$, which are obtained from Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$. We compute the Levi--Civita connection and…

It was shown by Seaman that if a compact, oriented 4-dimensional riemannian manifold (M, g) of positive sectional curvature admits a harmonic 2-form of constant length, its intersection form is definite and such a harmonic form is unique up…

We prove families of uniform $(L^r,L^s)$ resolvent estimates for simply connected manifolds of constant curvature (negative or positive) that imply the earlier ones for Euclidean space of Kenig, Ruiz and the second author \cite{KRS}. In the…

We consider the inverse problem to determine a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ from a restriction of the source-to-solution operator, $\Lambda_{\mathcal{S,R}}$, for the wave equation on the manifold. Here, $\mathcal{S}$ and…
