Maximum Principles And Geometric Applications - Luis J. Alas

This Monograph Presents An Introduction To Some Geometric And Analytic Aspects Of The Maximum Principle. In Doing So, It Analyses With Great Detail The Mathematical Tools And Geometric Foundations Needed To Develop The Various New Forms That Are Presented In The First Chapters Of The Book. In Particular, A Generalization Of The Omori-yau Maximum Principle To A Wide Class Of Differential Operators Is Given, As Well As A Corresponding Weak Maximum Principle And Its Equivalent Open Form And Parabolicity As A Special Stronger Formulation Of The The Second Part, The Attention Focuses On A Wide Range Of Applications, Mainly To Geometric Problems, But Also On Some Analytic (especially Pdes) Questions Including: The Geometry Of Submanifolds, Hypersurfaces In Riemannian And Lorentzian Targets, Ricci Solitons, Liouville Theorems, Uniqueness Of Solutions Of Lichnerowicz-type Pdes And So On.maximum Principles And Geometric Applications Is Written In An Easy Style Making It Accessible To Beginners.
