Simultaneous smoothness and simultaneous stability of a C^ strictly convex integrand and its dual

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate simultaneous properties of a convex integrand

g a m m a

and its dual

d e l t a

. The main results are the following three. (1) For a

C^{i} n f t y

convex integrand

g a m m a : S^{n} o m a t h b b R_{+}

, its dual convex integrand

d e l t a : S^{n} o m a t h b b R_{+}

is of class

C^{i} n f t y

if and only if

g a m m a

is a strictly convex integrand. (2) Let

g a m m a : S^{n} o m a t h b b R_{+}

be a

C^{i} n f t y

strictly convex integrand. Then,

g a m m a

is stable if and only if its dual convex integrand

d e l t a : S^{n} o m a t h b b R_{+}

is stable. (3) Let

g a m m a : S^{n} o m a t h b b R_{+}

be a

C^{i} n f t y

strictly convex integrand. Suppose that

g a m m a

is stable. Then, for any

i

(0 l e i l e n)

, a point

h e t a_{0} i n S^{n}

is a non-degenerate critical point of

g a m m a

with Morse index

i

if and only if its antipodal point

- h e t a_{0} i n S^{n}

is a non-degenerate critical point of the dual convex integrand

d e l t a

with Morse index

(n - i)

.
