Geometrische Evolutionsgleichungen

Die Deformation geometrischer Strukturen durch Systeme nichtlinearer partieller Differentialgleichungen hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten in der Differentialgeometire und in der Mathematischen Physik zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Fortschritte im analytischen Verständnis nichtlinearer parabolischer Gleichungen und Systeme hat es ermöglicht, die Lösungen solcher geometrischen Evolutionsgleichungen auch auf langen Zeitintervallen zu kontollieren und mögliche Singularitäten zu verstehen. Mit Hilfe dieser Lösungen konnten neue geometrische Ungleichungen und Uniformisierungssätze bewiesen werden.

Fluss entlang der mittleren Krümmung

Die Deformation von Kurven, Hyperflächen und allgemein Untermannigfaltigkeiten einer umgebenden Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit in Richtung ihrer mittleren Krümmung führt zu einem quasilinearen System parabolischer Differentialgleichungen, das die typischen Glättungseigenschaften parabolischer Gleichungen aufweist, aber auch Lösungen mit Singularitäten aufweist.

Fluss entlang der inversen mittleren Krümmung

Die Deformation von Flächen entlang der inversen mittleren Krümmung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Flächenelement an jeder Stelle exponentiell wächst. Schwache Lösungen mit nichtnegativer Krümmung erfüllen ein Variationsprinzip und erlauben Sprünge der Lösungsflächen. Der Fluss hat Anwendungen auf geometrische Ungleichungen und Energieungleichungen in der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie, siehe “Mathematische Relativitätstheorie”.

Fluss entlang der Ricci-Krümmung

Die Deformation Riemannscher Metriken entlang der Ricci-Krümmung ist ein quasilineares parabolisches System, dass zur Uniformisierung Riemannscher Metriken genutzt werden kann und zum Beweis der Poincare-Vermutung durch Hamilton und Perelman geführt hat. In der Physik tritt der Fluss auf als 1-loop Renormalisierungsgruppenfluss in Sigma-Modellen der Stringtheorie.

Mathematische Relativitätstheorie

In der Mathematischen Relativitätstheorie werden analytische und differentialgeometrische Methoden verwendet, um Lösungen der Einsteinschen Feldgleichung in der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie zu verstehen. Elliptische und parabolische Methoden erweisen sich dabei als wichtig bei der Untersuchung stationärer Lösungen, bei der Konstruktion guter Eichungen und natürlicher Untermannigfaltigkeiten in Zeit und Radialrichtung sowie beim Beweis von Energieungleichungen.
