Sharp Stability Results for Almost Conformal Maps in Even Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Let ~ C R n and n > 4 be even. We show that if a sequence {uJ } in W l'n/2 (f2; R n) is almost conformal in the sense that dist (Vu j , R+ SO(n) ) converges strongly to 0 in L n/2 and i f u j converges weakly to u in W 1,n/2, then u is conformal and VuJ ~ Vu strongly in Lqoc for all 1 < q < n/2. It is known that this conclusion fails i f n~2 is replaced by any smaller exponent p. We also prove the existence of a quasiconvex function f ( A ) that satisfies 0 < f ( A ) < C (1 + Iml n/2) and vanishes exactly on R + SO(n). The proof of these results involves the lwaniec-Martin characterization of conforrnal maps, the weak continuity and biting convergence of Jacobians, and the weak-L 1 estimates for Hodge decompositions.

Stability of F-biharmonic maps
This paper studies some properties of F-biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. By considering the first variation formula of the F-bienergy functional, F-biharmonicity of conformal maps are investigated. Moreover, the second variation formula for F-biharmonic maps is obtained. As an application, instability and nonexistence theorems for F-biharmonic maps are given.
متن کاملOn the dimensions of conformal repellers. Randomness and parameter dependency
Bowen’s formula relates the Hausdorff dimension of a conformal repeller to the zero of a ‘pressure’ function. We present an elementary, self-contained proof which bypasses measure theory and the Thermodynamic Formalism to show that Bowen’s formula holds for C conformal repellers. We consider time-dependent conformal repellers obtained as invariant subsets for sequences of conformally expanding ...
متن کاملDimension Estimates in Nonconformal Hyperbolic Dynamics
We establish sharp lower and upper estimates for the Hausdorff and box dimensions of invariant sets of maps that need not be conformal nor differentiable. The estimates are given in terms of the geometry of the invariant sets. Our approach is based on the thermodynamic formalism, and uses its nonadditive version. As a byproduct of our approach we give a new characterization of the lower and upp...

of Prof. Yau's lecture, Monday, April 2 [with additional references and remarks] (for people who missed the lecture) A geometric structure on a manifold is a cover by coordinate systems [a " sub-atlas " ] in which the transition functions from one coordinate system to another are not arbitrary mappings but rather belong to some specific set of mappings from (open subsets of) Euclidean space to ...
متن کاملY AN Remarks on W 1 , p - stability of the conformal set in higher dimensions
In this paper, we study the stability of maps in that are close to the conformal set Ki = R+ ~ SO(n) in an averaged sense as described in Definition 1.1. We prove that Ki is W1’P-compact for all p > n but is not W1’P-stable for any 1 p n/2 when n > 3. We also prove a coercivity estimate for the integral functional IRn dpK1 (~03C6(x)) dx on for certain values of p lower than n using some new est...
