    Geometric aspects of p-capacitary potentials

    No full text
    We provide monotonicity formulas for solutions to the p-Laplace equation defined in the exterior of a convex domain. A number of analytic and geometric consequences are derived, including the classical Minkowski inequality as well as new characterizations of rotationally symmetric solutions and domains. The proofs rely on the conformal splitting technique introduced by the second author in collaboration with V. Agostiniani

    Strict starshapedness of solutions to the horizontal p-Laplacian in the Heisenberg group

    Full text link
    We examine the geometry of the level sets of particular horizontally p-harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group. We find sharp, natural geometric conditions ensuring that the level sets of the p-capacitary potential of a bounded annulus in the Heisenberg group are strictly starshaped

    New integral estimates in substatic Riemannian manifolds and the Alexandrov Theorem

    No full text
    We derive new integral estimates on substatic manifolds with boundary of horizon type, naturally arising in General Relativity. In particular, we generalize to this setting an identity due to Magnanini-Poggesi [24] leading to the Alexandrov Theorem in Rn and improve on a Heintze-Karcher type inequality due to Li-Xia [22]. Our method relies on the introduction of a new vector field with nonnegative divergence, generalizing to this setting the P-function technique of Weinberger [36]

    Towards a Brezis–Oswald-type result for fractional problems with Robin boundary conditions

    Full text link
    We consider a boundary value problem driven by the p-fractional Laplacian with nonlocal Robin boundary conditions and we provide necessary and sufficient conditions which ensure the existence of a unique positive (weak) solution. The results proved in this paper can be considered a first step towards a complete generalization of the classical result by Brezis and Oswald (Nonlinear Anal 10:55–64, 1986) to the nonlocal setting

    Pohozaev-type identities for differential operators driven by homogeneous vector fields

    Full text link
    We prove Pohozaev-type identities for smooth solutions of Euler-Lagrange equations of second and fourth order that arise from functional a depending on homogeneous Hörmander vector fields. We then exploit such integral identities to prove non-existence results for the associated boundary value problems

    Sublinear Equations Driven by Hörmander Operators

    Full text link
    We characterize the existence of a unique positive weak solution for a Dirichlet boundary value problem driven by a linear second-order differential operator modeled on Hörmander vector fields, where the right hand side has sublinear growth

    The Equality Case in the Substatic Heintze–Karcher Inequality

    Full text link
    We provide a rigidity statement for the equality case of the Heintze–Karcher inequality in substatic manifolds. We apply such a result in the warped product setting to fully remove assumption (H4) in the celebrated Brendle’s characterization of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in warped products

    Existence and uniqueness theorems for some semi-linear equations on locally finite graphs

    Full text link
    We study some semi-linear equations for the (m,p)(m,p)-Laplacian operator on locally finite weighted graphs. We prove existence of weak solutions for all mNm\in\mathbb{N} and p(1,+)p\in(1,+\infty) via a variational method already known in the literature by exploiting the continuity properties of the energy functionals involved. When m=1m=1, we also establish a uniqueness result in the spirit of the Brezis-Strauss Theorem. We finally provide some applications of our main results by dealing with some Yamabe-type and Kazdan-Warner-type equations on locally finite weighted graphs.Comment: 13 page
