When are nodal lines on a sphere geodesics?
Let $(S^2, g)$ be a Riemannian sphere and let $L := \Delta_{S^2} + q$ be a Schrödinger operator on $S^2$. Suppose that $L$ has index equal to one and that $u \in C^{\infty}(S^2)$ ($u \neq 0$) lies in ...

Is this $1$-form harmonic?
Let $(M^3,g)$ be a compact, connected and oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold with boundary. For a harmonic map $u : M \to \mathbb{S}^1$ satisfying Neumann condition along $\partial M$, let $h = u^*(d \...

Poisson equations for tensors on compact Riemannian manifold
Let $({M},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$. It is well known that the Poisson equation
$$\Delta f=S$$
where $\Delta:C^{\infty}({M})\to C^{\infty}({M})$ denotes ...
