ESTIMATE ON THE BLOCH CONSTANT FOR CERTAIN HARMONIC MAPPINGS UNDER A DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR

In this paper,we first obtain the precise values of the univalent radius and the Bloch constant for harmonic mappings of the formL(f)=zfz-zfz,where f represents normalized harmonic mappings with bounded dilation.Then,using these results,we present better estimations for the Bloch constants of certain harmonic mappings L(f),where f is a K-quasiregular harmonic or open harmonic.Finally,we establish three versions of BlochLandau type theorem for biharmonic mappings of the form L(f).These results are sharp in some given cases and improve the related results of earlier authors.

The Schwarz-Pick lemma for planar harmonic mappings

The classical Schwarz-Pick lemma for holomorphic mappings is generalized to planar harmonic mappings of the unit disk D completely. (I) For any 0 < r < 1 and 0 ρ < 1, the author constructs a closed convex domain Er,ρ such that F((z,r)) eiαEr,ρ = {eiαz : z ∈ Er,ρ} holds for every z ∈ D, w = ρeiα and harmonic mapping F with F(D)D and F(z) = w, where △(z,r) is the pseudo-disk of center z and pseudo-radius r; conversely, for every z ∈ D, w = ρeiα and w ∈ eiαEr,ρ, there exists a harmonic mapping F such that F(D) D, F(z) = w and F(z ) = w for some z ∈ △(z,r). (II) The author establishes a Finsler metric Hz(u) on the unit disk D such that HF(z)(eiθFz(z) + e-iθFz(z)) ≤1 /(1- |z|2)holds for any z ∈ D, 0 θ 2π and harmonic mapping F with F(D)D; furthermore, this result is precise and the equality may be attained for any values of z, θ, F(z) and arg(eiθFz(z) + e-iθFz(z)).

The Schwarz-Pick lemma and Julia lemma for real planar harmonic mappings

The classical Schwarz-Pick lemma and Julia lemma for holomorphic mappings on the unit disk D are generalized to real harmonic mappings of the unit disk, and the results are precise. It is proved that for a harmonic mapping U of D into the open interval I = （-1, 1）, AU（z）/cosU（z）π/2≤4/π 1/1-｜z｜^2 holds for z E D, where Au（z） is the maximum dilation of U at z. The inequality is sharp for any z E D and any value of U（z）, and the equality occurs for some point in D if and only if U（z） = 4Re {arctan ~a（z）}, z E D, with a M＆bius transformation φa of D onto itself.

Linear Connectivity, Schwarz–Pick Lemma and Univalency Criteria for Planar Harmonic Mapping

In this paper, we first establish a Schwarz-Pick lemma for higher-order derivatives of planar harmonic mappings, and apply it to obtain univalency criteria. Then we discuss distortion theorems, Lipschitz continuity and univalency of planar harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk with linearly connected images.

A Schwarz Lemma for Harmonic Mappings Between the Unit Balls in Real Euclidean Spaces

The authors prove a Schwarz lemma for harmonic mappings between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces. Roughly speaking, this result says that under a harmonic mapping between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces, the image of a smaller ball centered at origin can be controlled. This extends the related result proved by Chen in complex plane.

Combinations of Right Half-Plane Mappings and Vertical Strip Mappings Convex in the Vertical Direction

In this paper, we explore the linear combinations of right half-plane mappings and vertical strip mappings. We demonstrate that the combinations of these harmonic mappings are convex in the vertical direction provided they are locally univalent and sense-preserving. Furthermore, we extend this analysis to a more general case by setting specific conditions. Additionally, we take some common parameters such as as the dilatation of these harmonic mappings, and prove the sufficient conditions that their combinations are locally univalent and convex in the vertical direction. Several examples are constructed by the Mathematica software to demonstrate our main results.

Some Theorems About Unitons of Harmonic Maps into U(N)

By using the simplified method of factorization given by Valli, and the correspondence between the harmonic map φ∶S 2→U(N) and U(N) uniton bundle ν(φ) with energy corresponding to the bundles’ second Chern class, which is established by Anand, the energy in a case φ∶S 2→U(N) is investigated in order to estimate the energy of a uniton using the uniton number. It is proved that Uhlenbeck’s factorization is energy decreasing. And a method of estimating the energy of a uniton by the uniton number is given.

VANISHING THEOREMS FOR ACH KHLER MANIFOLDS AND HARMONIC MAPS

We discuss a class of complete Kaihler manifolds which are asymptotically complex hyperbolic near infinity. The main result is vanishing theorems for the second L2 cohomology of such manifolds when it has positive spectrum. We also generalize the result to the weighted Poincare inequality case and establish a vanishing theorem provided that the weighted function p is of sub-quadratic growth of the distance function. We also obtain a vanishing theorem of harmonic maps on manifolds which satisfies the weighted Poincare inequality.

Symmetrically Harmonic Kaluza-Klein Metrics on Tangent Bundles

Let (M, g) be a Riemannian manifold and G be a Kaluza-Klein metric on its tangent bundle TM. A metric H on TM is said to be symmetrically harmonic to G if the metrics G and H are harmonic w.r.t. each other;that is the identity maps id: (TM,G) → (TM,H) and id: (TM,H) → (TM,G) are both harmonic maps. In this work we study Kaluza-Klein metrics H on TM which are symmetrically harmonic to G. In particular, we characterize and determine horizontally and vertically conformal Kaluza-Klein metrics H on TM, which are symmetrically harmonic to G.

Parameterization Transfer for a Planar Computational Domain in Isogeometric Analysis

In this paper,we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves,where the shapes of the planar domains are similar.The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures.One domain we call source domain,and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces.The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not.In this algorithm,boundary control points of the source domain are extracted from its parameterization as sequential points,and we establish a correspondence between sequential boundary control points of the source domain and the target boundary through discrete sampling and fitting.Transfer of the parametrization satisfies C1/G1 continuity under discrete harmonic mapping with continuous constraints.The new algorithm has a lower calculation cost than a decomposition-based parameterization with a high-quality parameterization result.We demonstrate that the result of the parameterization transfer in this paper can be applied in isogeometric analysis.Moreover,because of the consistency of the parameterization for the two models,this method can be applied in many other geometry processing algorithms,such as morphing and deformation.

曲面上的曲率在理论物理中的一些应用

In this survey article,we present two applications of surface curvatures in theoretical physics.The first application arises from biophysics in the study of the shape of cell vesicles involving the minimization of a mean curvature type energy called the Helfrich bending energy.In this formalism,the equilibrium shape of a cell vesicle may present itself in a rich variety of geometric and topological characteristics.We first show that there is an obstruction,arising from the spontaneous curvature,to the existence of a minimizer of the Helfrich energy over the set of embedded ring tori.We then propose a scale-invariant anisotropic bending energy,which extends the Canham energy,and show that it possesses a unique toroidal energy minimizer,up to rescaling,in all parameter regime.Furthermore,we establish some genus-dependent topological lower and upper bounds,which are known to be lacking with the Helfrich energy,for the proposed energy.We also present the shape equation in our context,which extends the Helfrich shape equation.The second application arises from astrophysics in the search for a mechanism for matter accretion in the early universe in the context of cosmic strings.In this formalism,gravitation may simply be stored over a two-surface so that the Einstein tensor is given in terms of the Gauss curvature of the surface which relates itself directly to the Hamiltonian energy density of the matter sector.This setting provides a lucid exhibition of the interplay of the underlying geometry,matter energy,and topological characterization of the system.In both areas of applications,we encounter highly challenging nonlinear partial differential equation problems.We demonstrate that studies on these equations help us to gain understanding of the theoretical physics problems considered.
