How can I numerically solve the Laplace equation with cohomological data?

Consider the problem of solving for $u$ where $-\Delta u = f$, $[u] = [g]$ where $[\cdot]$ denotes cohomology class and $u, f, g$ are $p$-forms on a Riemannian manifold $M$. If $g$ instead was ...

One-dimensional harmonic map flow with low regularity

My question is the following: What is the minimum regularity for a continuous loop $\gamma: S^1 \rightarrow M$ in a Riemannian manifold $M$ to have short-time existence for the harmonic map flow in ...

Reference request - Texts on geometric analysis with exercises

I’ve recently been studying some Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis, however I have found it difficult to find resources with exercises to practice. It seems that many textbooks past the ...

Are metrics of the form $dr^2+ \Omega^2 r^2 g_\text{round}$ asymptotically flat?

Let $M = [1,\infty)\times S^2$. Let $\Omega$ be any smooth positive function on $S^2$. Is the metric $dr^2+ \Omega^2 r^2 g_\text{round}$ asymptotically flat (where $g_\text{round}$ is the round metric ...

For a 1-parameter family of metrics, how do we compute the derivative of the intrinsic geometrical objects like curvature, Hessian, etc

Consider a family of metrics and functions $(g(t), u(t))$ on $M:= \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ satisfying $$ g(0) = g_0, \quad g'(0) = \tilde g, \quad u(0) = u_0, \quad u'(0) = \tilde u$$ where $g_0$, $...

Solvability of a PDE involving the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator

Let $M = \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ where $B_1$ is the unit ball (equip $M$ with the euclidean metric for simplicity, but it will be replaced by an arbitrary asymptotically flat metric). Let $N: L^2(\...

Good orbifold and Ricci flow with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\Sigma$

An orbifold $\mathcal O$ is a metrizable topological space equipped with an atlas modeled on $\Bbb R^n/\Gamma, \Gamma<O(n)$ finite. Let $\Sigma$ be the singular locus i.e. points modeled on $\...

In a short time $0<t<T$, does the $C^{1,\alpha}$ norm of mean curvature flow depend only on $T$ and the $C^{1,\alpha}$ norm of initial surface?

Given a smooth compactly embedded initial hypersurface $M_0$ and let $M_t$ ($0<t<T$) be a smooth solution of mean curvature flow starting from $M_0$. Then how does the regularity of $M_t$ depend ...
