Poisson equation, Poincaré-Lelong equation and curvature decay on complete Kähler manifolds. (Q1609817): Difference between revisions

Let \((M^n,g)\) be a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. The authors consider the following Poisson equation on \(M\): \[ \Delta u= f.\tag{\(*\)} \] The main result can be described as follows. Fix a point \(0\in M\) and denote by \(B(t)\) the geodesic ball of radius \(t\) with center \(0\). By \(V(t)\) denote the volume of \(B(t)\) and set \(k_f(t)= {1\over V(t)} \int_{B(t)} fdV_g\) -- the average of function \(f\) over \(B(t)\). Suppose that \(f\) decays sufficiently fast, i.e.: 1) \(\int^\infty_0 k_f(t)\,dt< \infty\) and 2) there exist a constant \(\delta< 1\) and a nonnegative function \(h\) with \(h(t)= o(t)\) as \(t\to\infty\), such that \(\int^t_0 sk_f(x,s)\,ds\leq h(t)\) for all \(x\in M\) and all \(t\geq\delta r(s)\). Here, \(r(x)\) is the distance from \(0\) to \(x\) and \(k_f(x,s)\) is the same as \(k_f(s)\) only with center at \(x\) instead of \(0\). Under these assumptions \((*)\) has a solution \(u\) with estimates on the gradient of \(u\) and integral estimates on the Hessian of \(u\). Some applications to complete Kähler manifolds are also discussed.
