چکیده
Abstract. For free boundary problems on Euclidean spaces, the monotonicity formulas of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman and Caffarelli-Jerison-Kenig are cornerstones for the regularity theory as well as the existence theory. In this article we establish the analogs of these results for the LaplaceBeltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds. As an application we show that our monotonicity theorems can be employed to prove the Lipschitz continuity for the solutions of a general class of two-phase free boundary problems on Riemannian manifolds.

The Laplace-Beltrami-Operator on Riemannian Manifolds
This report mainly illustrates a way to compute the Laplace-Beltrami-Operator on a Riemannian Manifold and gives information to why and where it is used in the Analysis of 3D Shapes. After a brief introduction, an overview over the necessary properties of manifolds for calculating the Laplacian is given. Furthermore the two operators needed for defining the Laplace-Beltrami-Operator the gradien...
متن کاملUniform Estimates of the Resolvent of the Laplace–Beltrami Operator on Infinite Volume Riemannian Manifolds with Cusps.II
We prove uniform weighted high frequency estimates for the resolvent of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on connected infinite volume Riemannian manifolds under some natural assumptions on the metric on the ends of the manifold. This extends previous results by Burq [3] and Vodev [8].
متن کاملConvergence of the point integral method for Laplace–Beltrami equation on point cloud
The Laplace–Beltrami operator, a fundamental object associated with Riemannian manifolds, encodes all intrinsic geometry of manifolds and has many desirable properties. Recently, we proposed the point integral method (PIM), a novel numerical method for discretizing the Laplace–Beltrami operator on point clouds (Li et al. in Commun Comput Phys 22(1):228–258, 2017). In this paper, we analyze the ...
متن کاملSum of Squares Manifolds: the Expressibility of the Laplace–beltrami Operator on Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds as a Sum of Squares of Vector Fields
In this paper, we investigate under what circumstances the Laplace–Beltrami operator on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can be written as a sum of squares of vector fields, as is naturally the case in Euclidean space. We show that such an expression exists globally on one-dimensional manifolds and can be found at least locally on any analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than tw...
متن کاملA Survey of Inverse Spectral Results
The existence of the Laplace-Beltrami operator has allowed mathematicians to carry out Fourier analysis on Riemannian manifolds [2]. We recall that the Laplace-Beltrami operator ∆ on a compact Riemannian manifold has a discrete set of eigenvalues {λj}j=1, which satisfies λj →∞ as j →∞. This is known as the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Inverse spectral geometry studies how much of ...
