For rigidity we show that the universal covering of the given manifold must be $mathbf R^2times (-c,c)$ with some doubly warped product metric if the optimal bound is attained. This gives a characterization for doubly warped product metrics with positive constant curvature. As a corollary, we also obtain a focal radius estimate for immersed toruses in $3$-spheres with positive sectional curvatures.","PeriodicalId":8430,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Differential Geometry","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91119120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a parabolic analog of Almgren's frequency function. Remarkably we get monotonicity on all manifolds and no curvature assumption is needed. When the manifold is Euclidean space and the drift operator is the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator this can been seen to imply Poon's frequency monotonicity for the ordinary heat equation. Monotonicity of frequency is a parabolic analog of the 19th century Hadamard three circles theorem about log convexity of holomorphic functions on $CC$. From the monotonicity, we get parabolic unique continuation and backward uniqueness.","PeriodicalId":8430,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Differential Geometry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82040852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After his work, there are several approaches to develop this notion on Riemannian manifolds. Here, a tensor field is identified in the study of global conformal diffeomorphisms on Finsler manifolds as a natural generalization of the Schwarzian derivative. Then, a natural definition of a Mobius mapping on Finsler manifolds is given and its properties are studied. In particular, it is shown that Mobius mappings are mappings that preserve circles and vice versa. Therefore, if a forward geodesically complete Finsler manifold admits a Mobius mapping, then the indicatrix is conformally diffeomorphic to the Euclidean sphere $ S^{n-1}$ in $ mathbb{R}^n $. In addition, if a forward geodesically complete absolutely homogeneous Finsler manifold of scalar flag curvature admits a non-trivial change of Mobius mapping, then it is a Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature.","PeriodicalId":8430,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Differential Geometry","volume":"256 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76179198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new property compensates for the lack of concavity of the Lagrangian phase operator as long as the metric is almost calibrated. As an application, we introduce the tangent Lagrangian phase flow (TLPF) on the space of almost calibrated $(1,1)$-forms that fits into the GIT framework for dHYM metrics recently discovered by Collins-Yau. The TLPF has some special properties that are not seen for the line bundle mean curvature flow (i.e. the mirror of the Lagrangian mean curvature flow for graphs). We show that the TLPF starting from any initial data exists for all positive time. Moreover, we show that the TLPF converges smoothly to a dHYM metric assuming the existence of a $C$-subsolution, which gives a new proof for the existence of dHYM metrics in the highest branch.","PeriodicalId":8430,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Differential Geometry","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79445696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
