In this article we show that every geodesic is rank one and the Hessian of Busemann functions is positive definite for a harmonic Damek-Ricci space, a two step solvable Lie group with a left invariant metric. Moreover, the eigenspace of the…

We use the density function of a harmonic space to obtain estimates for the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator; when these estimates are sharp, then the harmonic space is a symmetric Osserman space.

By methods of stochastic analysis on Riemannian manifolds, we develop two approaches to determine an explicit constant $c(D)$ for an $n$-dimensional compact manifold $D$ with boundary such that $\frac{\lambda}{n}\,\|\phi\|_{\infty} \leq…

The completeness of Gaussians in a Hilbert functional space is established

In this article, we develop a martingale approach to localized Bismut-type Hessian formulas for heat semigroups on Riemannian manifolds. Our approach extends the Hessian formulas established by Stroock (1996) and removes in particular the…

We derive estimates of the Hessian of two smooth functions defined on Grassmannian manifold. Based on it, we can derive curvature estimates for minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space via Gauss map. In this way, the result for Bernstein…

We establish $C^{1,1}$-regularity and uniqueness of the first eigenfunction of the complex Hessian operator on strongly $m$-pseudoconvex manifolds, along with a variational formula for the first eigenvalue. From these results, we derive a…

We compute the Hessian of quantized Ding functionals and give an elementary proof for the convexity of quantized Ding functionals along Bergman geodesics from the view point of projective geometry. We study also the asymptotic behavior of…

We compute explicitly the Riemannian volume, with respect to the Fubini-Study metric, of a domain bounded by a Hermitian quadric in complex projective space. The volume is a rational function of the eigenvalues of the defining quadratic…

We establish an interior $C^2$ estimate for $k+1$ convex solutions to Dirichlet problems of $k$-Hessian equations. We also use such estimate to obtain a rigidity theorem for $k+1$ convex entire solutions of $k$-Hessian equations in…

We study the function $(1 - \|x\|)\slash (1 - \|x\|^r),$ and its reciprocal, on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n,$ with respect to properties like being positive definite, conditionally positive definite, and infinitely divisible.

In this paper, we first prove the Hardy-Sobolev inequality for the Hessian integral by means of a descent gradient flow of certain Hessian functionals. As an application, we study the existence and regularity results of solutions to related…

We consider the eigenvalue equation for the Laplace-Beltrami operator acting on scalar functions on the non-compact Eguchi-Hanson space. The corresponding differential equation is reducible to a confluent Heun equation with Ince symbol…

We derive a priori interior Hessian estimates for the special Lagrangian equation $\sigma_{2}=1$ in dimension three.

We express the Hessian discriminant of a cubic surface in terms of fundamental invariants. This answers Question 15 from the \emph{27 questions on the cubic surface}. We also explain how to compute the fundamental invariants for smooth…

We prove some upper bounds for the Dirichlet eigenvalues of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations, namely the Hessian equations

This is a short note in which we show how to calculate the value of Perelman's nu-functional for a variety of metrics. In particular we complete the calculation of values for the known 4-dimensional Einstein and shrinking Ricci soliton…

We establish integral formulas and sharp two-sided bounds for the Ricci curvature, mean curvature and second fundamental form on a Riemannian manifold with boundary. As applications, sharp gradient and Hessian estimates are derived for the…

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the weighted eigenvalue problem for $k$-Hessian equation. To achieve this, we establish the uniform a priori estimates for gradient and second derivatives of solutions to…

In this paper we introduce the notion of distributional $k$-Hessian associated with Besov type functions in Euclidean $n$-space, $k=2,\ldots,n$. Particularly, inspired by recent work of Baer and Jerison on distributional Hessian…
