Abstract

For every pair of integers $3\leq k<n$ with $k$ odd, we construct a compact embedded rotational torus in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose homothetic dilations satisfy the unnormalised $\sigma_k$-curvature flow in a Sobolev almost-everywhere sense. Its profile curve has H\"older regularity $C^{1,1/k}$ and Sobolev regularity $W^{2,p}$ for every $1\leq p<k/(k-1)$. Away from two singular latitudes the torus is smooth; globally, the flow equation is interpreted using the weak shape operator of the associated Lipschitz boundary. Under rotational symmetry, the self-similar equation $\langle X,\nu\rangle=-\sigma_k$, where $X$ is the position vector and $\nu$ is the unit normal, reduces to a degenerate profile system. We solve this system by combining an odd-power desingularisation, a shooting argument, uniform radial and axial bounds, and a strict gap between the shooting parameters and the cylindrical radius. No classical $C^2$ rotational torus can satisfy the soliton equation, so the loss of regularity is unavoidable within the rotational toroidal class.

Poisson laws and exterior stability for random alternating tensors

For fixed $k\ge3$, we determine the critical law of totally isotropic $r$-spaces for a uniform random map $\Theta_N:\Lambda^k\mathbb {F}_q^N\to\mathbb {F}_q^m$. At the exact balance $m\binom rk=r(N-r)$, the entire null configuration is asymptotically an independent Bernoulli subset of $\operatorname{Gr}(r,\mathbb {F}_q...

Exterior Serrin Rigidity for the Homogeneous{k}-Hessian Equation

In this paper, we study the exterior overdetermined problems for the homogeneous k-Hessian equations $$\sigma_k(D^2u)=0\quad\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\overline{\Omega}$$ in three dimensional regimes. For $2\le k<n$ and smooth strictly star-shaped domain $\Omega\Subset\R^n$, we establish ball rigidity results in al...

Scalar curvature on K\"ahler blow-ups and systolic inequalities

In this paper, we develop the weighted level set method for a K\"ahler manifold $(X^n,\omega)$ admitting an almost holomorphic map to a possibly singular base $Z$, which is not uniruled. As a key intermediate result, we prove that any blowup $\operatorname{Bl}_SX$ of $X$ along smooth submanifolds $S$ of $ \operatorname...

Improved sup-norm bounds for locally symmetric spaces

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type, of dimension $n$ and rank $r$, and let $Y=\Gamma\backslash X$. Sarnak's local bound for an $L^2$-normalized spherical joint eigenfunction with regular tempered parameter of size $T$ is $\|\phi\|_\infty\ll T^{(n-r)/2}$. We prove $o(T^{(n-r)/2})$ locally uniformly on e...

Universal Spacelikeness Estimates and Liouville Rigidity for Lorentzian $\sigma_k$ Curvature Equations

We study nonnegative entire spacelike graphs in Lorentz--Minkowski space satisfying $\sigma_k(A[u])=u^p$. For $2\le k<n$ and $p\ge k$, pointwise strict spacelikeness and closed $k$-admissibility yield universal bounds for the height and Lorentz factor. Their proof combines block coercivity in the full G\r{a}rding cone,...
