Title: First eigenvalue estimates on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds and their submanifolds. Abstract: I will report on joint work with Samuel Pérez-Ayala. We derive a sharp upper bound for the first eigenvalue $lambda_{1,p}$ of the $p$-Laplacian on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds for $1<p<infty$. We then prove that a particular class of conformally compact submanifolds within asymptotically hyperbolic […]
Title: Recovery of time-dependent coefficients in hyperbolic equations on Riemannian manifolds from partial data.Abstract: In this talk we discuss inverse problems of determining time-dependent coefficients appearing in the wave equation in a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. More specifically, we are concerned with the case of conformally transversally anisotropic manifolds, or in […]
Title: A family of Kahler flying wing steady Ricci solitonsAbstract: Steady Kahler-Ricci solitons are eternal solutions of the Kahler-Ricci flow. I will present new examples of such solitons with strictly positive sectional curvature that live on C^n and provide an answer to an open question of H.-D. Cao in complex dimension n>2. This is joint […]
Title: Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation on the sphere. Abstract: We will discuss Strichartz estimates for solutions of the Schrödinger equation on the standard round sphere, which is related to the results of Burq, Gérard and Tzvetkov (2004). The proof is based on the arithmetic properties of the spectrum of the Laplacian on the sphere […]
Title: The geometry and topology of lower bounds on scalar curvatureAbstract: In this talk, I will discuss some recent results about controlling the geometry and topology of manifolds from a (positive) lower bound on their scalar curvature.
Title: On isolated singularities and generic regularity of min-max CMC hypersurfacesAbstract: Smooth constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces serve as effective tools to study the geometry and topology of Riemannian manifolds. In high dimensions however, one in general must account for their singular behaviour. I will discuss how such hypersurfaces are constructed via min-max techniques and […]
