چکیده

In [5] Herzlich proved a new positive mass theorem for Riemannian 3-manifolds (N, g) whose mean curvature of the boundary allows some positivity. In this paper we study what happens to the limit case of the theorem when, at a point of the boundary, the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of the boundary is strictly larger than one-half of the mean curvature (in this case the mass m(g) must be strictly positive). We prove that the mass is bounded from below by a positive constant c(g), m(g) ≥ c(g), and the equality m(g) = c(g) holds only if, outside a compact set, (N, g) is conformally flat and the scalar curvature vanishes. The constant c(g) is uniquely determined by the metric g via a Dirac-harmonic spinor. MSC(2000): 53C27, 83C40

Non-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces

Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...

Positive Mass Theorem and the Boundary Behaviors of Compact Manifolds with Nonnegative Scalar Curvature

In this paper, we study the boundary behaviors of compact manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and nonempty boundary. Using a general version of Positive Mass Theorem of Schoen-Yau and Witten, we prove the following theorem: For any compact manifold with boundary and nonnegative scalar curvature, if it is spin and its boundary can be isometrically embedded into Euclidean space as a stric...

Positive Mass Theorem on Manifolds admitting Corners along a Hypersurface

We study a class of non-smooth asymptotically flat manifolds on which metrics fails to be C across a hypersurface Σ. We first give an approximation scheme to mollify the metric, then we prove that the Positive Mass Theorem [8] still holds on these manifolds if a geometric boundary condition is satisfied by metrics separated by Σ.

On two classes of third order boundary value problems with finite spectrum

‎The spectral analysis of two classes of third order boundary value problems is investigated‎. ‎For every positive integer $m$ we construct two classes of regular third order boundary value problems with at most $2m+1$‎ ‎eigenvalues‎, ‎counting multiplicity‎. ‎These kinds of finite spectrum results are previously known only for even order boundary value problems‎.
