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 ...

Differentiability of an integral of geodesic distance

Let $(M,g)$ be an $m$-dimensional Riemannian symmetric space and $d(\cdot,\cdot)$ be the geodesic distance function. Fix any $\alpha\in M$ and $v\in T_\alpha M$ with $\|v\|=1$. Q1: Define $$ g(t)=\...

Does a sequence of Jacobians converge to the 'correct' continuous part plus some controlled singular part?

$\newcommand{\M}{\mathcal{M}}$ $\newcommand{\N}{\mathcal{N}}$ Let $\M,\N$ be two-dimensional smooth, compact, connected, oriented Riemannian manifolds. (with or without boundaries). Let $f_n \in W^{1,...
