ABSTRACT
Let $${\cal M}$$ be a connected compact smooth Riemannian manifold of dimension $$n \ge 3$$ with or without smooth boundary $$\partial {\cal M}.$$ We consider the following singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problem on $${\cal M}$$ where $$\Delta_{{\cal M}}$$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $${\cal M}$$ , $$\nu$$ is an exterior normal to $$\partial {\cal M}$$ and a nonlinearity $$f$$ of subcritical growth. For certain $$f,$$ there exists a mountain pass solution $$u_\varepsilon$$ of above problem which exhibits a spike layer. We are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the spike layer. Without any non-degeneracy condition and monotonicity of $$f(t)/t,$$ we show that if $$\partial {\cal M} =\emptyset(\partial {\cal M} \ne \emptyset),$$ the peak point $$x_\varepsilon$$ of the solution $$u_\varepsilon$$ converges to a maximum point of the scalar curvature $$S$$ on $${\cal M}$$ (the mean curvature $$H$$ on $$\partial {\cal M})$$ as $$\varepsilon \to 0,$$ respectively.

We construct a fundamental solution of a parabolic equation with drift on a Riemannian manifold of nonpositive curvature by the perturbation method on the basis of a solution of an equation without drift. We establish conditions for the drift field under which this method is applicable.

Let ( M, g) be a closed Riemannian spin manifold. The constant term in the expansion of the Green function for the Dirac operator at a fixed point $${p\in M}$$ is called the mass endomorphism in p associated to the metric g due to an analogy to the mass in the Yamabe problem. We show that the...

We first prove a new relation between the existence of an upper bound for volume growth in complete Riemannian manifold with the existence of a lower hound for its Ricci curvature. Then we prove that if the Ricci curvature outside the some compact subset of a compelet, non compact Riemannian...

We show that the VrÄƒnceanu connection which was initially introduced on non-holonomic manifolds can be used to study the geometry of foliated manifolds. We prove that a foliation is totally geodesic with bundle-like metric if and only if this connection is a metric one. We introduce the...
