چکیده

We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is weakly continuous with respect to almost everywhere convergence. We also establish a sharp Harnack inequality for the minimal surface equation, which is crucial for our proof of the weak continuity. As an application we prove the existence of weak solutions to the corresponding Dirichlet problem when the inhomogeneous term is a measure.

RICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM

Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...

Bel–robinson Energy and Constant Mean Curvature Foliations

An energy estimate is proved for the Bel–Robinson energy along a constant mean curvature foliation in a spatially compact vacuum spacetime, assuming an L∞ bound on the second fundamental form, and a bound on a spacetime version of Bel–Robinson energy.
