    Michael-Simon Sobolev inequalities in Euclidean space

    Full text link
    Inspired by [1, 13], we prove Michael-Simon type inequalities for smooth symmetric uniformly positive define (0, 2)-tensor fields on compact submanifolds in Euclidean space by the Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci (ABP) method.Comment: 10 page

    Proof of the Michael-Simon-Sobolev inequality using optimal transport

    Full text link
    We give an alternative proof of the Michael-Simon-Sobolev inequality using techniques from optimal transport. The inequality is sharp for submanifolds of codimension 22.Comment: Final version, to appear in J. Reine Angew. Mat

    Optimal Transport Approach to Michael-Simon-Sobolev Inequalities in Manifolds with Intermediate Ricci Curvature Lower Bounds

    Full text link
    We generalize McCann's theorem of optimal transport to a submanifold setting and prove Michael-Simon-Sobolev inequalities for submanifolds in manifolds with lower bounds on intermediate Ricci curvatures. The results include a variant of the sharp Michael-Simon-Sobolev inequality in S. Brendle's work arXiv:2009.13717 when the intermediate Ricci curvatures are nonnegative.Comment: 26 pages. Minor changes and references added. Final versio

    Locally constrained flows and sharp Michael-Simon inequalities in hyperbolic space

    Full text link
    In the present paper, we first investigate a new locally constrained mean curvature flow (1.9) for starshaped hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space Hn+1 and prove its longtime existence, exponential convergence. As an application, we establish a new sharp Michael-Simon inequality for mean curvature in Hn+1. In the second part of this paper, we use a locally constrained inverse curvature flow (1.11) in Hn+1, which was introduced by Scheuer and Xia [30] to establish a new sharp Michael-Simon inequality for k-th mean curvatures of starshaped and strictly k-convex domain.Comment: 22 page

    Michael-Simon type inequalities in hyperbolic space Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1} via Brendle-Guan-Li's flows

    Full text link
    In the present paper, we first establish and verify a new sharp hyperbolic version of the Michael-Simon inequality for mean curvatures in hyperbolic space Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1} based on the locally constrained inverse curvature flow introduced by Brendle, Guan and Li, provided that MM is hh-convex and ff is a positive smooth function, where λ(r)=cosh\lambda^{'}(r)=\rm{cosh}rr. In particular, when ff is of constant, (0.1) coincides with the Minkowski type inequality stated by Brendle, Hung, and Wang. Further, we also establish and confirm a new sharp Michael-Simon inequality for the kk-th mean curvatures in Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1} by virtue of the Brendle-Guan-Li's flow, provided that MM is hh-convex and Ω\Omega is the domain enclosed by MM. In particular, when ff is of constant and kk is odd, (0.2) is exactly the weighted Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities proven by Hu, Li, and Wei.Comment: 14 page

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    A fractional Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality on convex hypersurfaces

    Full text link
    The classical Michael-Simon and Allard inequality is a Sobolev inequality for functions defined on a submanifold of Euclidean space. It is governed by a universal constant independent of the manifold, thanks to an additional LpL^p term on the righthand side which is weighted by the mean curvature of the underlying manifold. We prove here a fractional version of this inequality on hypersurfaces of Euclidean space that are boundaries of convex sets. It involves the Gagliardo seminorm of the function, as well as its LpL^p norm weighted by the fractional mean curvature of the hypersurface. As an application, we establish a new upper bound for the maximal time of existence in the smooth fractional mean curvature flow of a convex set. The bound depends on the perimeter of the initial set instead of on its diameter

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
