摘要:In this paper we prove an existence and regularity theorem for lagrangian tori minimizing the Willmore functional in Euclidean four-space, R(4), with the standard metric and symplectic structure. Technical difficulties arise because the Euler-Lagrange equation for this problem is a sixth-order nonlinear partial differential equation. This research was motivated by a study of the seemingly unrelated Plateau problem for lagrangian tori, and in this paper we illustrate this connection.

摘要:The perturbation theory of the Laplace spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces with conical singularities belonging to a fixed conformal class is developed. As an application, it is shown that the generic such surface with cusps has no Maass cusp forms ( L(2) eigenfunctions) under specific eigenvalue multiplicity assumptions. It is also shown that eigenvalues depend monotonically on the cone angles. From this, one obtains Neumann eigenvalue monotonicity for geodesic triangles in H-2 and a lower bound ...
