Heat-type equations on manifolds with fibered boundaries II: Parametrix construction

This is the second part of a two parts work on the analysis of heat-type equations on manifolds with fibered boundary equipped with a $\Phi$-metric. This setting generalizes the asymptotically conical (scattering) spaces and includes special cases of magnetic and gravitational monopoles. The core of this second part consists on the construction of parametrix for heat-type equations. Consequently we use the constructed parametrix to infer results regarding existence and regularity of certain homogeneous and non homogeneous second order linear parabolic equations with non constant coefficients. This work represents the first step towards the analysis of geometric flows such as Ricci-, Yamabe and Mean Curvature flow on some families of non compact manifolds.

Heat-type equations on manifolds with fibered boundary I: Schauder estimates

In this paper we prove parabolic Schauder estimates for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a manifold $M$ with fibered boundary and a $\Phi$-metric $g_\Phi$. This setting generalizes the asymptotically conical (scattering) spaces and includes special cases of magnetic and gravitational monopoles. This paper, combined with part II, lay the crucial groundwork for forthcoming discussions on geometric flows in this setting; especially the Yamabe- and mean curvature flow.

Normalized Yamabe flow on manifolds with bounded geometry

The goal of this paper is to study Yamabe flow on a complete Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry with possibly infinite volume. In the case of infinite volume, standard volume normalization of the Yamabe flow fails and the flow may not converge. Instead, we consider a curvature normalized Yamabe flow, and assuming negative scalar curvature, prove its long-time existence and convergence. This extends the results of Su\'arez-Serrato and Tapie to a non-compact setting. In the appendix, we specify our analysis of a particular example of manifolds with bounded geometry, namely manifolds with fibered boundary metric. In this case, we obtain stronger estimates for the short-time solution using microlocal methods.
