We consider the problem of existence and uniqueness of strong solutions u : Ω ⊂ Rn −→ RN in (H2 ∩H1 0 )(Ω)N to the problem (1) { F (·, D2u) = f, in Ω, u = 0, on ∂Ω, when f ∈ L2(Ω)N , F is a Caratheodory map and Ω is convex. (1) has been considered by several authors, firstly by Campanato and under Campanato’s ellipticity condition. By employing a new weaker notion of ellipticity introduced in recent work of the author [K2] for the respective global problem on Rn, we prove well-posedness of (1). Our result extends existing ones under hypotheses weaker than those known previously. An essential part of our analysis in an extension of the classical Miranda-Talenti inequality to the vector case of 2nd order linear hessian systems with rank-one convex coefficients.

Ribbon 2-knotted objects are locally flat embeddings of surfaces in 4-space which bound immersed 3-manifolds with only ribbon singularities. They appear as topological realizations of welded knotted objects, which is a natural quotient of virtual knot theory. In this paper, we consider ribbon tubes, which are knotted annuli bounding ribbon 3-balls. We show how ribbon tubes naturally act on the reduced free group, and how this action classifies ribbon tubes up to link-homotopy, that is when allowing each tube component to cross itself. At the combinatorial level, this provides a classification of welded string links up to self-virtualization. This generalizes a result of Habegger and Lin on usual string links, and the above-mentioned action on the reduced free group can be refined to a general "virtual extension" of Milnor invariants. We also give a classification of ribbon torus-links up to link-homotopy. Finally, connections between usual, virtual and welded knotted objects are investigated.

We study eigenvalue problems for intrinsic sub-Laplacians on regular sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove upper bounds for sub-Laplacian eigenvalues λk of conformal sub-Riemannian metrics that are asymptotically sharp as k→+∞. For Sasakian manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound, and more generally, for contact metric manifolds conformal to such Sasakian manifolds, we obtain eigenvalue inequalities that can be viewed as versions of the classical results by Korevaar and Buser in Riemannian geometry.

We discuss various representations of planar p-harmonic systems of equations and their solutions. For coordinate functions of p-harmonic maps we analyze signs of their Hessians, the Gauss curvature of p-harmonic surfaces, the length of level curves as well as we discuss curves of steepest descent. The isoperimetric inequality for the level curves of coordinate functions of planar pharmonic maps is proven. Our main techniques involve relations between quasiregular maps and planar PDEs. We generalize some results due to P. Lindqvist, G. Alessandrini, G. Talenti and P. Laurence.

We investigate quaternionic contact (qc) manifolds from the point of view of intrinsic torsion. We argue that the natural structure group for this geometry is a non-compact Lie group K containing Sp(n)H^*, and show that any qc structure gives rise to a canonical K-structure with constant intrinsic torsion, except in seven dimensions, when this condition is equivalent to integrability in the sense of Duchemin. We prove that the choice of a reduction to Sp(n)H^* (or equivalently, a complement of the qc distribution) yields a unique K-connection satisfying natural conditions on torsion and curvature. We show that the choice of a compatible metric on the qc distribution determines a canonical reduction to Sp(n)Sp(1) and a canonical Sp(n)Sp(1)-connection whose curvature is almost entirely determined by its torsion. We show that its Ricci tensor, as well as the Ricci tensor of the Biquard connection, has an interpretation in terms of intrinsic torsion.

In this paper we consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold M with bounded geometry and spectral gap. We realize the dual space Y^h(M) of the Hardy-type space X^h(M), introduced in a previous paper of the authors, as the class of all locally square integrable functions satisfying suitable BMO-like conditions, where the role of the constants is played by the space of global k-quasi-harmonic functions. Furthermore we prove that Y^h(M) is also the dual of the space X^k_fin(M) of finite linear combination of X^k-atoms. As a consequence, if Z is a Banach space and T is a Z-valued linear operator defined on X^k_fin(M), then T extends to a bounded operator from X^k(M) to Z if and only if it is uniformly bounded on X^k-atoms. To obtain these results we prove the global solvability of the generalized Poisson equation L^ku=f with f in L^2_{loc}(M) and we study some properties of generalized Bergman spaces of harmonic functions on geodesic balls

We define certain deformations between minimal and non-minimal constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in Euclidean space E3 which preserve the Hopf differential. We prove that, given a CMC H surface f , either minimal or not, and a fixed basepoint z0 on this surface, there is a naturally defined family fh, for all h 2 R, of CMC h surfaces that are tangent to f at z0, and which have the same Hopf differential. Given the classical Weierstrass data for a minimal surface, we give an explicit formula for the generalized Weierstrass data for the non-minimal surfaces fh, and vice versa. As an application, we use this to give a well-defined dressing action on the class of minimal surfaces. In addition, we show that symmetries of certain types associated with the basepoint are preserved under the deformation, and this gives a canonical choice of basepoint for surfaces with symmetries. We use this to define new examples of non-minimal CMC surfaces naturally associated to known minimal surfaces with symmetries.
