چکیده

We establish the weak continuity of the Gauss-Coddazi-Ricci system for isometric embedding with respect to the uniform L-bounded solution sequence for p > 2, which implies that the weak limit of the isometric embeddings of the manifold is still an isometric embedding. More generally, we establish a compensated compactness framework for the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci system in differential geometry. That is, given any sequence of approximate solutions to this system which is uniformly bounded in L and has reasonable bounds on the errors made in the approximation (the errors are confined in a compact subset of H loc ), then the approximating sequence has a weakly convergent subsequence whose limit is a solution of the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci system. Furthermore, a minimizing problem is proposed as a selection criterion. For these, no restriction on the Riemann curvature tensor is made.

Isometric Immersions and Compensated Compactness

A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold M2 which can be realized as isometric immersions into R3. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary value problems for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type whose mathematical theory is largely incomplete. I...

Mixed Type Problems for Transonic Flow in Gas Dynamics and Isometric Embedding in Geometry

The mixed type problems arising in transonic flows in gas dynamics and isometric embeddings in geometry are considered. The two-dimensional steady Euler equations for the transonic flow past an obstacle such as an airfoil are first discussed. A viscous approximation to the steady transonic flow problem is presented, and its convergence is obtained by the method of compensated compactness. Then ...

Isometric Immersions of Surfaces with Two Classes of Metrics and Negative Gauss Curvature

The isometric immersion of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds or surfaces with negative Gauss curvature into the three-dimensional Euclidean space is studied in this paper. The global weak solutions to the Gauss-Codazzi equations with large data in L∞ are obtained through the vanishing viscosity method and the compensated compactness framework. The L∞ uniform estimate and H−1 compactness are ...

Variations of Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci Equations in Kaluza-Klein Reduction (String Theory) and Cauchy Problem (General Relativity)

We find a kind of variations of Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci equations suitable for Kaluza-Klein reduction and Cauchy problem. Especially the counterpart of extrinsic curvature tensor has antisymmetric part as well as symmetric one. If the dependence of metric tensor on reduced dimensions is negligible it becomes a pure antisymmetric tensor. PACS:03.70;11.15
