Abstract

On the Riemannian Schwarzschild--Tangherlini metric of dimension $n\geq 4$, we show that the destabilizing TT tensor of Ozuch lies in the image of the ``TT-tensor machine''. By continuity, it can then be approximated, in suitable weighted Sobolev spaces, by smooth compactly supported TT tensors, on which the stability quadratic form is still negative. This proves instability in the usual sense for noncompact manifolds. To our knowledge, no exact smooth compactly supported destabilizing TT tensor was known before, even in 4D.

Lojasiewicz inequalities for maps of the 2-sphere

We prove a Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality $$ \left| E(u) - 4πn \right| \leq C \| \mathcal{T}(u) \|^α$$ for maps $u \in W^{2,2}\left( S^2, S^2 \right).$ The inequality holds with $α= 1$ in general and with $α> 1$ unless $u$ is nearly constant on an open set. We obtain polynomial convergence of weak solutions of harmonic map flow $u(t) : S^2 \to S^2$ as $t \to \infty$ on compact domains away from the singular set, assuming that the body map is nonconstant. The proof uses Topping's repulsion estimates together with polynomial lower bounds on the energy density coming from a bubble-tree induction argument.

Butcher series for Hamiltonian Poisson integrators through symplectic groupoids

We exhibit a new pre-Lie algebra in the framework of symplectic groupoids and, in turn, use Butcher trees to compute the Taylor series of a solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation on any symplectic groupoid $\mathcal{G} \rightrightarrows M.$ The impact of this new algebraic approach is twofold. On the geometric side, it yields algebraic operations to approximate Lagrangian bisections of $\mathcal{G}$ using the Butcher-Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra and, in turn, aims at a better understanding of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $M.$ On the computational side, we define a new class of Poisson integrators for Hamiltonian dynamics on Poisson manifolds.

Urysohn width of hypersurfaces and positive macroscopic scalar curvature

We prove that if a complete Riemannian $n$-manifold with non-trivial codimension 1 homology with $\mathbb{Z}_2$-coefficients or $\mathbb{Z}$-coefficients has positive macroscopic scalar curvature large enough, then it contains a non-nullhomologous hypersurface of small Urysohn $(n-2)$-width. This constitutes a macroscopic analogue of a theorem by Bray--Brendle--Neves on the area of non-contractible 2-spheres in a closed Riemannian 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature. Our proof is based on an adaptation of Guth's macroscopic version of the Schoen-Yau descent argument.
