Abstract

Kinetic Brownian motion is a stochastic process that interpolates between the geodesic flow and Laplacian. It is also an analogue of Bismut’s hypoelliptic Laplacian. We prove the strong convergence of the spectrum of kinetic Brownian motion to the spectrum of base Laplacian for all compact Riemannian manifolds. This generalizes recent work of Kolb--Weich--Wolf on constant curvature surfaces. As an application, we prove the optimal convergence rate of kinetic Brownian motion to equilibrium (given by the spectral gap of base Laplacian) conjectured by Baudoin--Tardif. This is based on joint work with Qiuyu Ren.

      Leibenson's equation on Riemannian manifolds

      Abtract:We consider on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds the Leibenson equation:$\partial _{t}u=\Delta _{p}u^{q}.$This equation comes from hydrodynamics where it describes filtration of a turbulent compressible liquid in porous medium. Here $u(x,t)$ is the fraction of the volume that the liquid takes in porous medium at time $t$ at point $x$. The parameter $p$ characterizes the turbulence of a...

      Differential Geometry Seminar | Spectral bounds on hyperbolic 3-manifolds

      Abstract:I will discuss some new bounds on the spectra of Laplacian operators on hyperbolic 3-manifolds. One example of such a bound is that the spectral gap of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold must be less than 47.32, or less than 31.57 if the first Betti number is positive. The bounds are derived using two approaches, both of which employ linear prog...
