On elliptic operators on non-compact manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a (connected, oriented) Riemannian manifold and $E$ some finite-rank $\mathbb{R}$- or $\mathbb{C}$-vector bundle equipped with some (positive-definite) inner product on the level of (...

Strictly contracting solutions to the Eikonal equation on Riemannian manifolds
Given a Riemannian manifold $M$, we say $f: M \to \mathbb R$ is a strict contraction if $|f(x) - f(y)| < |x - y|$ for all distinct $x, y \in M$.
Question: Does there exist, on every complete ...

Elliptic regularity on manifolds: Is this true?
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold (without boundary) and denote by $\Delta_{g}$ the Laplace-Beltrami operator (or any other elliptic operator if you wish). I was trying to find a reference for the ...

Poisson equation on manifolds
Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$. It is well-known that the Poisson equation
$$\Delta u=f$$
does have a solution on $C^{\infty}(\mathcal{M})$ ...

Proving an eigenvalue bound without resorting to Weyl's law
Suppose $(M,g)$ is a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ with smooth boundary and denote by $\{\phi_k,\lambda_k\}_{k\in \mathbb N}$ its Dirihclet spectral decomposition for the ...

A property for generic pairs of functions and metrics
Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold with a smooth boundary. Given a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, we denote by $\{\phi_k\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ an $L^2(M)$--orthonormal basis consisting of ...

Elliptic equations in semi-infinite strips
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth boundary. Let $g=(g_{jk})_{j,k=0}^n$ be a Riemannian metric on $\mathbb R^+\times \Omega$ with smooth bounded components. Is there a good ...

Approximate a one-form with nowhere vanishing one-forms having bounded Laplacians
This is a follow-up question of this one.
Let $\mathbb{D}^2$ be the closed two-dimensional unit disk (endowed with some smooth Riemannian metric), and let $\sigma \in \Omega^1(\mathbb{D}^2)$ be a ...
