ABSTRACT
We prove a Sobolev inequality with remainder term for the imbedding $\mathcal{D}^{m,2}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ $\hookrightarrow$ $L^{2N/(N-2m)}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ , $m\in\mathbb{N}$ arbitrary, generalizing a corresponding result of Bianchi and Egnell for the case m = 1. We also show that the manifold of least energy solutions $u\in\mathcal{D}^{m,2}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ of the equation $(-\Delta)^m u = \vert u\vert^{4m/(N-2m)}u$ is a nondegenerate critical manifold for the corresponding variational integral. Finally we generalize the results of J. M. Coron on the existence of solutions of equations with critical exponent on domains with nontrivial topology to the biharmonic operator.

We show that if Ïˆ is an f-biharmonic map from a compact Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive curvature satisfying a condition, then Ïˆ is an f-harmonic map. We prove that if the f-tension field Tf (Ïˆ) of a map Ïˆ of Riemannian manifolds is a Jacobi field and...

Geometric structure of global integral variational functionals on higher order tangent bundles and Grassmann fibrations are investigated. The theory of Lepage forms is extended to these structures. The concept of a Lepage form allows us to introduce the Euler-Lagrange distribution for...

We provide a new obstruction for a rational homology 3-sphere to arise by Dehn surgery on a given knot in the 3-sphere. The obstruction takes the form of an inequality involving the genus of the knot, the surgery coefficient and a count of L-structures on the 3-manifold, that is spinc-structures...

In this paper, we study involute timelike biharmonic Reeb curves in (LCS)3-manifold. We characterize curvatures of timelike biharmonic Reeb curves in (LCS)3-manifold. We obtain parametric equation involute curves of the timelike biharmonic Reeb curves in (LCS)3-manifold.
