When is a given matrix of two forms a curvature form?

Let's assume we are working over $\mathbb{R}^n$ (but feel free to change to domain to answer the question). I wish to know if the equation $F = dA + A \wedge A$ can be solved for a matrix of 1-forms $ …

Relationship between the Radon transform and Twistor spaces

I have often heard that the theory of Twistor spaces is ``a complex analogue" of the Radon transform. What is the precise connection ?

Density of smooth functions in Sobolev spaces on manifolds

Hebbey defines the Sobolev space of functions on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) as the completion of smooth functions under the Sobolev norm. However, I have seen (elsewhere) that Sobolev spaces have bee …

Hyperbolic PDE in mathematics

Hyperbolic PDE (like the wave equation) are roughly speaking, PDE that satisfy the “finite propagation speed of information” property. They are ubiquitous in mathematical physics (essentially, most fu …

Alexandrov-Bakelmann-Pucci maximum principle

The ABP maximum principle states (roughly) that, if $a^{ij} \partial _i \partial _j u \geq f$, over a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (where $a^{ij} \geq C Id >0$), then (assuming sufficient regular …

A non-elliptic PDE

I wish to know if this PDE can be solved (for a real smooth function $\rho$) on a compact complex surface X : $\bar{\partial}\partial \rho \wedge \bar{\partial}\partial \rho + \bar{\partial}\partial …

$L^p$ stability of the Beltrami equation

Let's assume that $f$ is a quasiconformal homeomorphism of $\mathbb{C}$ with Beltrami coefficient $\mu = \frac{\bar{\partial} f}{\partial f}$. Notice that by definition $\Vert \mu \Vert _{L^{\infty}} …

Regarding Discrete Eigenvalues

For many eigenvalue problems for differential operators (for example the quantum harmonic oscillator (HO)), unless we impose some behaviour at infinity, the eigenvalues will not be discrete. But, supp …

A priori estimates for elliptic systems with bounded coefficients

Suppose we have a smooth solution to a system of PDE (for $\vec{u}$) given by $L\vec{u} = \vec{f}$ on the unit ball (no boundary conditions given). Assume that the coefficients and $\vec{f}$ are smoot …

Monge Ampere equations (concavity)

The Monge-Ampere (whether real or complex, whether in a domain or on a manifold) equations usually studied are of the type $F(u, \nabla u, \mathrm{Hess}(u)) = 0$ where $F$ is a concave function of $\m …

Hölder estimates for the Complex Monge-Ampere equation

If on a bounded smooth, pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $\mathrm{det} ( \mathrm{Hess}(u)) = f$ ($f>0$, $\mathrm{Hess}(u)>0$, $u=0$ on the boundary), if $f \in C^{k, \alpha}$, is $u \in C^{k+2, …

Global interior estimate complex Monge-Ampere equation

Suppose u is a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function satisfying $(i\partial \bar{\partial} u)^n =f dV_{Euc}$ on the unit ball centered at the origin, where $f>0$ is a smooth function. Let $C$ be a …

References for weak ellipticity

There are good books (like Evans) for strongly elliptic second order linear PDE. I want to learn about weakly elliptic PDE (of any order). Are there any good books for the same? I am very curious as t …

$L^p$ regularity for semidisc

Suppose $B_r\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a hemidisc, i.e., $x^2+y^2 \leq r^2, y\geq 0$. Is there a regularity result of the type $\Vert \psi \Vert_{W^{2,p}(B_{1/2})} \leq C (\Vert \psi \Vert_{L^p(B_{1})} …
