Abstract:By introducing a concept generalising several convexity notions we obtain a new Omori-Yaumaximum principle for harmonic maps defined on a stochastically complete manifold. Some of theapplications of this new maximum principle include conformal harmonic maps. an adaptation of aconiecture of Calabi, harmonic immersions with certain energy bounds, wedge theorems forminimal submanifolds o...
DescriptionThe existence and classification problem for maximal growth distributions on smooth manifolds has garnered much interest in the mathematical community in recent years. Prototypical examples of maximal growth distributions are contact structures on $3$-dimensional manifolds and Engel distributions on $4$-dimensional manifolds. The existence and classification of maximal growth distrib...
