چکیده
Abstract. We prove structure theorems for complete manifolds satisfying both the Ricci curvature lower bound and the weighted Poincaré inequality. In the process, a sharp decay estimate for the minimal positive Green’s function is obtained. This estimate only depends on the weight function of the Poincaré inequality, and yields a criterion of parabolicity of connected components at infinity in terms of the weight function.

متن کاملStable Solutions of Elliptic Equations on Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract. This paper is devoted to the study of rigidity properties for special solutions of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations on smooth, boundaryless Riemannian manifolds. As far as stable solutions are concerned, we derive a new weighted Poincaré inequality which allows to prove Liouville type results and the flatness of the level sets of the solution in dimension 2, under sui...
متن کاملShortest Paths for Sub-riemannian Metrics on Rank-two Distributions
We study length-minimizing arcs in sub-Riemannian manifolds (M;E;G) whose metric G is de ned on a rank-two bracket-generating distribution E. It is well known that all length-minimizing arcs are extremals, and that these extremals are either \normal" or \abnormal." Normal extremals are locally optimal, in the sense that every su ciently short piece of such an extremal is a minimizer. The questi...
متن کاملOn the Compressed Elastic Rod with Rotary Inertia on a Viscoelastic Foundation
1. Formulation of the Problem Consider an elastic rod simply supported at both ends. Let L be the length of the rod. We assume that the rod is loaded by an axial force P (t) that is a known function of time and has a fixed direction coinciding with the rod axis in the initial (undeformed) state. In this work we shall generalize our previous analysis [1] in two directions. First, we assume here ...
متن کاملSharp Geometric and Functional Inequalities in Metric Measure Spaces with Lower Ricci Curvature Bounds
Abstract. For metric measure spaces verifying the reduced curvature-dimension condition CD∗(K,N) we prove a series of sharp functional inequalities under the additional assumption of essentially nonbranching. Examples of spaces entering this framework are (weighted) Riemannian manifolds satisfying lower Ricci curvature bounds and their measured Gromov Hausdorff limits, Alexandrov spaces satisfy...
