چکیده

Using the first exit time for Brownian motion from a smoothly bounded domain in Euclidean space, we define two natural functionals on the space of embedded, compact, oriented, unparametrized hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We develop explicit formulas for the first variation of each of the functionals and characterize the critical points.

$L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski $4$-space $mathbb{E}_1^4$

Biharmonic surfaces in Euclidean space $mathbb{E}^3$ are firstly studied from a differential geometric point of view by Bang-Yen Chen, who showed that the only biharmonic surfaces are minimal ones. A surface $x : M^2rightarrowmathbb{E}^{3}$ is called biharmonic if $Delta^2x=0$, where $Delta$ is the Laplace operator of $M^2$. We study the $L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in the $4$-dimen...

Tangent Bundle of the Hypersurfaces in a Euclidean Space

Let $M$ be an orientable hypersurface in the Euclidean space $R^{2n}$ with induced metric $g$ and $TM$ be its tangent bundle. It is known that the tangent bundle $TM$ has induced metric $overline{g}$ as submanifold of the Euclidean space $R^{4n}$ which is not a natural metric in the sense that the submersion $pi :(TM,overline{g})rightarrow (M,g)$ is not the Riemannian submersion. In this paper...

$L_1$-Biharmonic Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Spaces with Three Distinct Principal Curvatures

Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...

Dimension free and infinite variance tail estimates on Poisson space

Concentration inequalities are obtained on Poisson space, for random functionals with finite or infinite variance. In particular, dimension free tail estimates and exponential integrability results are given for the Euclidean norm of vectors of independent functionals. In the finite variance case these results are applied to infinitely divisible random variables such as quadratic Wiener functio...

Some of the recent topics on stochastic analysis

First, we shall quickly explain why and how the space of generalized white noise functionals has been introduced. The space has big advantages to carry on the analysis of nonlinear functionals of white noise (or of Brownian motion) and to apply the theory to various fields. It should be noted that the introduction of generalized functionals was motivated by the Ito formula for Brownian function...
