In this paper we derive four new candidates for an intrinsic viscosity operator on an ellipsoid by using the heuristic of the thin shell limit along the scaling direction of the ellipsoid. We show that the general method of the thin shell…
On a general Riemannian manifold the Navier-Stokes equations admit several inequivalent formulations, differing in the choice of viscous operator: the Hodge Laplacian, the Bochner Laplacian, or the deformation Laplacian. We show that a…
We deal with the 3D Navier-Stokes equation in a smooth simply connected bounded domain, with controls on a non-empty open part of the boundary and a Navier slip-with-friction boundary condition on the remaining, uncontrolled, part of the…
We consider the Hodge Laplacian $\Delta$ on the Heisenberg group $H_n$, endowed with a left-invariant and U(n)-invariant Riemannian metric. For $0\le k\le 2n+1$, let $\Delta_k$ denote the Hodge Laplacian restricted to $k$-forms. Our first…
In contrast with the 3-dimensional case (cf. \cite{RaMo}), where rotationally symmetric totally geodesic free boundary minimal surfaces have Morse index one; we prove in this work that the Morse index of a free boundary rotationally…
In quantum theory on curved backgrounds, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is usually discussed in terms of ensemble variances and flat-space commutators. Here we take a different, preparation-based viewpoint tailored to sharp position…
A well-known theorem by Ruh and Vilms states that the Laplacian of the Gauss map for a smooth immersion into Euclidean space is given by the covariant derivative of the mean curvature vector field. For hypersurfaces, this implies that the…
We analyze the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a smooth, bounded domain with Navier boundary conditions. Starting from an initial vorticity in $L^p$ with $p>2$, we show strong convergence of the vorticity in the…
The Laplacian in an unbounded tubular neighbourhood of a hyperplane with non-Hermitian complex-symmetric Robin-type boundary conditions is investigated in the limit when the width of the neighbourhood diminishes. We show that the Laplacian…
In this paper, we revisit the global well-posedness of the classical viscous surface waves in the absence of surface tension effect with the reference domain being the horizontal infinite slab, for which the first complete proof was given…
The Dirichlet Laplacian between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension in the presence of a magnetic field is considered in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. We show that the…
We study the weak boundary layer phenomenon of the Navier-Stokes equations in a 3D bounded domain with viscosity, $\epsilon > 0$, under generalized Navier friction boundary conditions, in which we allow the friction coefficient to be a (1,…
We investigate the variational principle for the gravitational field in the presence of thin shells of completely unconstrained signature (generic shells). Such variational formulations have been given before for shells of timelike and null…
We study a correspondence between smooth spacelike surfaces in Half-Pipe space $\mathbb{HP}^3$ and divergence-free vector fields on the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$. We show that a particular case involves harmonic Lagrangian vector…
The Bochner technique is a classical tool in global differential geometry for proving vanishing and rigidity results by exploiting curvature conditions. Building on recent extensions of this method to complete non-compact settings by…
We study compact hyperbolic surface laminations. These are a generalization of closed hyperbolic surfaces which appear to be more suited to the study of Teichm\"uller theory than arbitrary non-compact surfaces. We show that the…
A hyperbolic 0-metric on a surface with boundary is a hyperbolic metric on its interior, exhibiting the boundary behavior of the standard metric on the Poincar\'e disk. Consider the infinite-dimensional Teichm\"uller spaces of hyperbolic…
We investigate a reverse Faber-Krahn type inequality for the Robin Laplacian in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ whose boundary has two connected components. We prove that a concentric spherical shell maximizes the…
We consider the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid on a compact Riemannian manifold $\sM$ with boundary. The motion on $\sM$ is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the fluid is subject to pure or partial slip…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold and $\{u_h\}$ be a sequence of $L^2$-normalized Laplace eigenfunctions that has a localized defect measure $\mu$ in the sense that $ M \setminus \text{supp}(\pi_* \mu) \neq \emptyset$…
