Local Palais-Smale Sequences for the Willmore Functional
Using the reformulation in divergence form of the EulerLagrange equation for the Willmore functional as it was developed in the second author’s paper [Riv2], we study the limit of a local Palais-Smale sequence of weak Willmore immersions with locally square-integrable second fundamental form. We show that the limit immersion is smooth and that it satisfies the conformal Willmore equation: it is...
متن کاملCurve-straightening and the Palais-smale Condition
This paper considers the negative gradient trajectories associated with the modified total squared curvature functional ∫ k2 + ν ds. The focus is on the limiting behavior as ν tends to zero from the positive side. It is shown that when ν = 0 spaces of curves exist in which some trajectories converge and others diverge. In one instance the collection of critical points splits into two subsets. A...
متن کاملGlobal Inversion via the Palais-smale Condition
Fixing a complete Riemannian metric g on Rn, we show that a local diffeomorphism f : Rn → Rn is bijective if the height function f · v (standard inner product) satisfies the Palais-Smale condition relative to g for each for each nonzero v ∈ Rn. Our method substantially improves a global inverse function theorem of Hadamard. In the context of polynomial maps, we obtain new criteria for invertibi...
متن کاملBoundedness of Palais-Smale sequences associated to a fourth-order equation in conformal geometry
Under generic assumptions, we prove boundedness of Palais-Smale sequences relative to some geometric functional defined on H(M), where M is a four-dimensional manifold. Our analysis is useful to find critical points (via minimax arguments) of this functional, which give rise to conformal metrics of constant Q-curvature. The proof is based on a refined bubbling analysis, for which the main estim...
متن کاملBubbling Phenomena of Certain Palais-Smale Sequences of m-Harmonic Type Systems
In this paper, we study the bubbling phenomena of weak solution sequences of a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems of m-harmonic type. We prove that, under appropriate conditions, the energy is preserved during the bubbling process. The results apply to m-harmonic maps from a manifold Ω to a homogeneous space, and to m-harmonic maps with constant volumes, and also to certain Palais...
