On a compact manifold with very general singularities, we have studied the Yamabe problem and have established a generalization of Aubin’s inequality for Yamabe constants. When the inequality is strict, we have proved the existence of singular Yamabe metrics.
When the equality of the inequality holds, we have constructed an example of singular manifolds which have not singular Yamabe metrics. For an edge-cone Einstein metric on a smooth manifold, we have constructed an appropriate family of smooth metrics with Ricci curvature bounded below by the Einstein constant. As a corollary, we have obtained an estimate of the Yamabe invariant from below by using the existence of edge-cone Einstein metrics.

We have studied the following :
(1)Study of Yamabe Invariants
We estimated and determined the Yamabe invariant of some positive 3-manifolds, by using the inverse mean curvature flow and families of Green's functions. In especial, we classified completely all 3-manifolds with Yamabe invariant greater than that of RP^3. We also studied the positive Yamabe constants of Riemannian products and the behavior of them under magnifying one factor. We are now studying Aubin's type lemma for the positive Yamabe constants of infinite coverings, with some new results.
(2)Study of Conformal/Affine Geometry and group C^*-algebra
We gave new developments on conformal and projective geometry. In particular, we obtained an interesting varitional characterization of affine connections induced from Einstein metrics. We studied on twisted K-theory and groupoid C^*-algebras, and then proved a generalization of Gromov-Lawson theorem for foliated spaces.
(3)Study on Non-linear Analysis in Geometry
We studied on eigenvalue problem on complete manifolds, discrete groups and valiational problems on mean curvature. We then obtained results on non-existence of eigenvalues on complete manifolds of non-positive curvature, and a fixed-point theorem for discrete-group actions on Hadamard spaces.

We have studied the following four themes from 2002 to 2003. 1.Jorgensen groups. 2.The Picard group. 3.The Whitehead link group. 4.Classical Schottky spaces and Jorgensen number.
1.Jorgensen groups. A Jorgensen group is a non-elementary two-generator discrete group whose Jorgensen number is one. There are two types -parabolic type and elliptic type-for Jorgensen groups. Here we considered of parabolic type. There are three types for Jorgensen groups of parabolic type (finite type, countably infinite type and uncountably infinite type). We obtained the following. (1)We found all Jorgensen groups of finite type and all Jorgensen groups of countably infinite type in 2002, and (2)we found all Jorgensen groups of uncountably infinite type in 2003. Consequently we found all Jorgensen groups of parabolic type. The results (1) was talked at the International congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002, and the result (2) was talked at Peking University in 2003.
2.The Picard group. We constructed a new fundamental region for the Picard group and we found eight relations for two generators of the group by using the fundamental region. This result was published in the Proceedings of the ISAAC Congress in Berlin in 2003.
3.The Whitehead link group. We proved that the Jorgensen number of the Whitehead link is two. Therefore the Whitehead link is not a Jorgensen group. We talked this result at the Internatonal Conference of Topology in 2002.
4.Classical Schottky spaces and Jorgensen number. We showed that there exists a classical Schottky group whose Jorgensen number is a given real number j【greater than or equal】4. We will talk this result at the International Conference of Potential Theory this summer.

We have studied the following:
1.Study of cylindrical and orbifold Yamabe invariants
As a generalization of the Yamabe constant/invariant of closed manifolds, we defined appropriately the orbifold Yamabe constant/invariant in terms of the cylindrical Yamabe constant/invariant.
For a cylindrical 4-manifold with positive cylindrical Yamabe invariant, we also established a method for estimating its cylindrical Yamabe invariant from above, by means of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer L^2-index theory. Moreover, we generalized the Kobayashi inequality for Yamabe invariants to cylindrical Yamabe invariants, and studied its applications.
2.Study on the mass of compact conformal manifolds
The mass is a geometric invariant for asymptotically flat manifolds. For a compact conformal manifold (M, C) with positive Yamabe invariant, a scalar-flat, asymptotically flat manifold (M-{p},g_<AF>) is defined naturally from each initial metric g in C, where [g_<AF>]=C. Then the mass m(g ; p) is non-negative. This mass m(g ; p) also depends on the choice of g and p. However, if we use the Habermann-Jost's canonical metric g_<HJ> as a initial metric, then the mass m(g_<HJ>;p) is now independent of the choice of p. By using this fact, we can define the mass mass(M ; C) of the conformal manifold (M, C) as a conformal invariant. Moreover, taking the infimum of it over all conformal classes, we can also define the mass invariant mass(M) as a differential-topological invariant of M. We studied on the Kobayashi-type inequality of the mass invariant for connected manifolds.
3.Yamabe invariants of 3-manifolds
The method of inverse mean curvature flow is the central technique for the resolution of the Riemannian Penrose Conjecture in Cosmology. By using this technique, Bray-Neves determined the value of the Yamabe invariant of RP^3. This result is the first affirmative answer to the Schoen's Conjecture for the Yamabe invariant of 3-manifolds with constant curvature. We also determined the Yamabe invariant of the connected manifold RP^3 # k(S^2 x S^1), by means of the inverse mean curvature flow technique. This is also one of the open problems proposed by Bray-Neves.
For the above study, the support by the 'Grant-in-Aid for Sci. Res. (C)(2),14540072' was very important.

My research during this term consists mainly of the following three branches :
1. Characterization of simple dividing loops on Riemann surfaces analytically.
2. Representation of the Teichmuller spaces global real analytically by angle parameters.
3. Representation of the Teichmuller modular groups (the mapping class groups) by angle parameters.
I Characterized the geometry of Mobius transformations by using the one-half powers of these transformations and these traces. Furthermore, I gave the necessary and sufficient condition of a simple loop L on a Riemann surface S to be dividing, by using the lifts of a Fuchsian group G representing S to the special linear group SL (2,C). For example, if S is a compact Riemann surface of genus p (>1), then the following is obtained :
The number of the lifts of G is 2 to the 2p-th power. Let g be an element of G corresponding to L. Then L is to be dividing if and only if for any lift of G, the matrix corresponding to g always has the negative trace.
I introduced new angle parameters corresponding to the intersection angles between geodesics on the marked Riemann surface, in order to obtain global real analytic and simple representations of the Teichmuller spaces. I showed that the Teichmuller spaces are described by only angle parameters and it is easy to analyze such angle parameter spaces of the typical Teichmuller spaces of types (1,1), (2,0) and (3,0). Angle parameters correspond to the intersection angles between the axes of the generators and these products of the marked Fuchsian group. I found out the high symmetry of the arrangement of these axes. I investigated the relation among such geometry of Mobius transformations, traces and angle parameters. From these observations, the much relation and information of angle parameters were obtained.
Next, I considered the representations of the Teichmuller modular groups by only angle parameters. I especially studied the following :
I. Interpretation of the Teichmuller modular groups as the actions of some special hyperbolic polygons bounded by the axes to others.
II. Relation between angle parameters and length parameters representing these groups.

Kumura studied the relationship between analytic inequalities of noncompact Riemannian manifolds or compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary and its geometric information. To be concrete, he gave an intrinsic ultracontractive bound for compact Riemannian manifolds with nonconvex boundary, using their inner geometric property, by the arguments of Davies - Simon 1984. In order to do so, two inequalities, Hardy and Sobolev should be prepared. These inequalities are important. Indeed, for example, these induce an upper bound of the Neumann heat kernel, the boundary behavior of the Dirichlet heat kernel and Green kernel and the first gap of the Dirichlet eigenvalue. As for results on noncompact manifolds, the following results is obtained : generally, on noncompact Riemannian manifolds, the differential operator, Laplacian is defined, and its spectrum is closely related to the geometry of the manifolds and studied by many authors from various points of view. In particular, the essential spectrum of the Laplacian of noncompact complete Riemannian manifolds depends only on the geometry of the infinity of manifolds. Kumura considered the average of curvatures near the infinity with respect to some measure and studied its convergence and the essential spectrum of the Laplacian. He generalized a results of Donnelly and his own one.
Kasue studied the relationship between convergence of manifolds and Dirichlet forms, Sato studied the Jorgensen group, Akutagawa studied the Yamabe invariant and Okumura studied Teichmuller space from the global analytic viewpoint.

We have studied the following four themes from 2000 to 2001. 1. Jorgensen groups. 2. Jorgensen numbers of Classical Schottky spaces of real type. 3. The Picard group. 4. The Whitehead link.
1. J0rgensen groups. A Jorgensen group is a discrete group whose Jorgensen number is one. First we considered two one-parameter families. The results appeared in Contemporary Mathematics in 2000. Furthermore we studied Jorgensen groups of parabolic type. We talked the results at the Meeting of AMS (UCLA, 2000) and at the International Coference of Complex Analysis (China, 2000). Recently we found almost all Jorgensen groups of parabolic type. We talked about the results at the Meeting of Discontinuous Groups at Shizuoka University (January, 2002 and the Geometry and Topology Seminar at University of Oregon in March, 2002.
2. Jorgensen numbers of Classical Schottky space of real type. We found the best lower bounds for all kinds of the classical Schottky spaces of real type. The results appeared in J. Math. Soc. Japan in 2001.
3. The Picard group. We have appointed out before that the Picard group is a two-generator group. This time we constructed a new fundamental region for the group and we found eight relations by using the fundamental region. We talked this result at the ISAAC Congress in Berlin in 2001. The result will appear in the Proceedings.
4. The Whitehead link. We proved that the Jorgensen number of the Whitehead link is two. Therefore the Whitehead link is not a Jorgensen group. We talked the result at Kyoto University in 2001. We will talk this result at the internatonal conference in 2002.

1. Consideration of the relation between angle parameters and the geometry of Mobius transformations.
2. Representation of the Teichmuller modular groups (the mapping class groups) by angle parameters.
3. Characterization of simple dividing loops on Riemann surfaces analytically.
In order to obtain global real analytic and simple representations of the Teichmuller spaces, I introduced new angle parameters. I showed that the Theichmuller spaces are described by only angle parameters and it is easy to analyze such angle parameter spaces of the typical Teichmuller spaces.
Considering the axes of the generators and these products of Fuchsian groups, for example the once-holed torus Fuchsian groups, I found out the high symmetry of the arrangement of these axes. I investigated the relation among such geometry of Mobius transformations, traces and angle parameters, using the one-half powers of Mobius transformations and the hyperbolic geometry. From these observations, the much relation and information of angle parameters were obtained. From such information of angle parameters, I tried to represent the Teichmuller modular groups by only angle parameters. I considered the following :
(1) Relation between angle parameters and length parameters representing these groups.
(2) Concrete description of such groups by only angle parameters in the cases that it is easy to calculate.
(3) Choice of angle parameters (inductively) that simply represent the Theichmuller modular groups of the general cases.
I especially studied the representation of the Theichmuller modular groups of a once-holed torus and a compact Riemann surface of genus 2.
Furthermore, I gave the necessary and sufficient condition of a simple loop L on a Riemann surface S to be dividing, using the lifts of a Fuchsian group G representing S to the special linear group SL (2, C). For example, if S is a compact Riemann surface of genus p (>1), then the following is obtained :
The number of the lifts of G is 2 to the 2p-th power. Let g be an element of G corresponding to L.Then L is to be dividing if and only if for any lift of G, the matrix corresponding to g always has the negative trace.

We studied on Spin^c Analysis for Group C^*-bundles on Manifolds and Yamabe Invariants.
More precisely, we studied on the fundamentals of C^*-algebras and their K-theory. We also studied on the synthetic research of Yamabe invariants and Bordism theory with supergroups (i.e., supergroups, supergroup-structures on manifolds, supergroup C^*-bunbles and others). In particular, by using this bordism theory with supergroups, we obtained an obstruction to the positivity of relative Yamabe invariants. This result is written in the following paper :
Kazuo Akutagawa, An obstruction to the positivity of relative Yamabe invariants.
The head investigator, Kazuo Akutagawa also studied with professor Boris Botvinnik (University of Oregon) on Yamabe invariants from the algebraic topological viewpoint. Similar to the Homology theory, we defined a natural relative version of the Yamabe invariant, that is, the "relative Yamabe invariant", and we studied on it and the relation of the Yamabe invariant of a double manifold. This result is also written in the following papers :
Kazuo Akutagawa and Boris Botvinnik, Relative Yamabe invariant.

The purpose of this project was to investigate the stability/rigidity of discrete groups from the viewpoint of geometry of the ideal boundary of negatively curved spaces and the cohomology of deiscrete groups. Our main result is summarized as follows.
Let Γ be a Kleinian group acting on n-sphere. If Γ is convex cocompact, the quotient of the domain of discontinuity is compact by definition. However, the converse is not true in general. Izeki (head investigator) showed that if the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of Γ is less than n/2 and the quotient of the domain of discontinuity is compact, then Γ is convex cocompact. As a consequence, such a Γ is quasiconformally stable. We also gave several applications to topology and geometry of conformally flat manifolds with positive scalar curvature.
In case the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set is less than (n-2)/2, we found a proof using the index theorem for higher A^^<^>-genus. We applied the index theorem to the quotient of the domain of discontinuity. We note here what we mean by the ideal bounary is just the quotient of the domain of discontinuity. The higher A^^<^>-genus carries the information of the fundamental group, which turns out to be isomorphic to Γ in our case, and that is all that the higher A^^<^>-genus knows. And it is determined by the cohomology of Γ.

We have studied the following three themes from 1998 to 1999.
1. Classical Schottky space of real type.
2. Jorgensen numbers.
3. Jorgensen groups.
1. Classical Schottky space of real type. We classified the classical Schottky space of real type of genus two into eight types. We represented the shape of their spaces and found generators for the Schottky modular groups acting on the above spaces. Furthermore we determine fundamental regions for the Schottky modular groups.
2. Jorgensen numbers. We found the best lower bounds for all kinds of the classical Schottky spaces of real type considered in 1. We submited these results to J. Math. Soc. Japan.
3. Jorgensen groups. A Jorgensen group is a non-elementary discrete group whose Jorgensen number is one. In 1998 we considered two one-parameter families of Jorgensen groups. We talked about these results at State University of New York at Stony Brook, Rutgers University at Newark and at New Brunswick in 1998. The results has been printed in Contemporary Mathematics (the proceeding of The Second Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium) in February, 2000. In 1999 we considered distribution of Jorgensen groups on the fiber over the unit circle. In particular, we studied new two one-paramter families of Jorgensen groups on it. We talked about the results at the international conference (ISAAC) in August, 1999. We invited Professor I. Kra at State University of New York at Stony Brook to talk about Schottky groups and the Schottky space in January, 2000. We are preparing to submit some results obtained between April, 1999 and February, 2000.

1. Conformably flat hypersurfaces. We studied conformally flat, hypersurfaces in the space forms of dimension 4, and found a good structure on the 4-dimensional standard sphere for each hypersurface. According to the structure, the set of conformally flat hypersurfaces is divided into three classes : the parabolic class, the elliptic class, and the hyperbolic class. We showed that the classes are invariant under conformal transformations of the sphere and the respective class consists of conformally flat hypersurfaces constructed by surfaces of constant curvature in one of the 3-dimensional space forms : the Euclidean space, the hyperbolic space, or the sphere.
2. Conformal-projective transformations of statistical manifolds. In this study, we obtained the following result : A conformal-projective transformation of a statistical manifold leaves all umbilical points and the skew-symmetric component of the Ricci curvature of any hypersurfaces ; moreover, this property characterizes the conformal-projective transformations when the dimension of the statistical manifold is greater than 2. We also found a tensor field that is invariant under any conformal-projective transformations and that reduces to the conformal curvature tensor if the underlying statistical manifold is a usual Riemannian manifold.
3. A representation formula of surfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC surfaces) in a 3-dimensional space form and their Gauss map. The existence problem of harmonic maps was studied in the case where the destination is a non-complete Riemannian space with non-positive curvature unbounded from below. In this situation, we showed tile existence and the uniqueness theorems of harmonic maps for a Dirichlet problem at infinity. As an application, we constructed CMC surfaces in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space form.
4. An extension of the class of CMC surfaces from the viewpoint of the theory of integrable systems. We defined surfaces with harmonic inverse mean curvature (HIMC surfaces) in the 3-dimentional space forms, and showed that there exists a correspondence among the HIMC surfaces similar to the Lawson correspondence, one of the features of the class of CMC surfaces. We also studied the relation between the class of HIMC surfaces and the class of H-surfaces, which is an extension of the class of CMC surfaces from the variational viewpoint. As a result, we proved that HIMC surfaces are obtained from the gauge-theoretic equation for H-surfaces with a certain condition of reduction.

Moreover, from the viewpoint of the reduction of monodoromy of the projective structures on a Riemainn surface, he also gave a relation between the geometric structures and representation formulas of constant mean curvature surfaces.

Shin Nayatani considered the action of a discrete transformation group of a rank one symmetric space on its boundary at infinity, and studied a canonical invariant metric defined on the domain of discontinuity. In particular, he applied it to the study of the topology of the quotient manifold when the symmetric space is complex hyperbolic space, and also formulated the quaternionic analogue of CR structure/geometry, applying it to the study of the canonical metric in the quatenionic case. He also investigated geometric structures on the Furstenberg boundaries of some higher rank symmetric spaces.
Kazuo Akutagawa studied harmonic maps from hyperbolic space to a certain incomplete, negatively curved Riemannian manifold. In particular, he obtained results on the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions for the boundary value problem.

Seiki Nishikawa studied the boundary value problem for hamonic maps between homogenious Riemannian manifolds of negative curvature. In particular, he obtained results on the necessary condition which the boundary value should satisfy, the uniqueness of solution and the existence of solution for a suitable boundary value, in the case of the Carnot spaces.
Shigetoshi Bando studied the existence problem for Einstein metrics on Kahler manifolds and holomorphic vector bundles as well as its relation to the stability and degeneration phenomenon. He also investigated singular geometric structures which appeared as the limit of degeneration.

The purposes of this research project was to accomplish synthetic investigation for geometry of manifolds, mainly for conformal structures and to obtain progressive reserach results.
By considering the last year's research progress situation we held in August, 1997 the geometry symposium, greatly organized, on a nationwide scale (participants 251, survey lectures 3, ordinary talks 53). In this symposium we could get exchanging of informations among researchers and intension and broadening of researches related to the purposes. As its consequences, for the research of global analysis on conformal structures M.Itoh, myself, the chief researcher, together with coresearchers, K.Akutagawa, S.Nayatani, Y.Izeki, S.Kato were able to obtain plenty of researches on the whole conformal geometry covering self-dual 4-manifolds, conformally flat manifolds and Einstein-Weyl manifolds.
In the other areas, that is, geometry of vector bundles, gauge fields great contributions were done by this project, especially in the field of self-dual bundles on quaternionic Kaehler manifolds. And also investigations done by this project took a progressive step in the direction of (almost) Kaehler structures. Furthermore, homogeneous manifolds, Rie-mannian geometry, symplectic geometry, geometry of curves and surfaces could get research progresses.

当科学研究課題の目標は、(1)symplectic反自己双対4次元多様体の大域解析的研究、(2)3次元定曲率空間内の平均曲率一定曲面の研究であった。具体的研究成果は、下記の通りである。
(1)について:Seiberg-Witten理論全般、(LeBrun等による)そのリーマン幾何への応用(山辺不変量の評価、小平次元との関係)、およびsymplectic幾何(特に、Donaldsonのsymplectic部分多様体の理論)の基礎的研究(=学習)を行った。残念ながら今年度は、(1)については具体的研究成果が出せなかった。反自己双対共形構造は上記の幾何構造・理論と密接に関連しているものの、一方ではそれらと比較して研究の進んでいない対象でもある。今後の研究も、先ずは“symplectic構造付き"の反自己双対4次元多様体の研究を中心に進める予定である。
(2)について:相山氏(筑波大学)との共同研究において、R^3以外の3次元定曲率空間H^3,S^3内の平均曲率一定曲面、およびL^3以外の3次元ローレンツ定曲率空間S^3_1,H^3_1内の平均曲率一定な空間的曲面に対する、(調和写像をGauss写像とする)新しい表現公式を得た。応用として、“一般化されたGauss写像"と“2次的Gauss写像"の基本的関係も理解することができた。

本研究の目的は、コンパクト4次元多様体M上の反自己双対計量の次の族に、Gromov-Hausdorff距離を導入し、その列の収束・退化を調べることであった。【numerical formula】ただし、μ(M.[g])を共形類[g]の山辺不変量、μ_0を定数(正数とは限らない)とする。その際、山辺不変量の局所化から自然に定義されるSobolev
その際、山辺不変量の局所化から自然に定義されるSobolev 半径を物差しとしたMのthin-thick分解をその収束・退化の解析手段の基本とした。しかしながら次の2点が克服出来ず、本研究は不完全なものとなってしまった。
(1)Mの測地球の体積の上からの一様評価を証明すること(この評価はthick部分の計量のバブル現象の詳しい解析において必須である)。
(2)Mのthin部分にはF-構造がはいることを示す。
当該年度の前半において反自己双対計量の具体例の解析不足を認識し、後半は一貫してその具体例の持つ性質を調べた。その具体例とは、LeBrunのhyperbolic Ansatzおよびその一般化によるS^1-不変な反自己双対計量、JoyceによるT^2-不変な反自己双対計量等である。その過程で、知られている具体例は全て、局所的にスカラー平坦なケーラー計量に共形的であることに気づいた(複素構造も各点の近傍でのみ定義される)。その後、一般にそのような局所構造を持つかどうかを基本問題とし、反自己双対計量の局所的特徴付けの研究している。この研究方向は、今後の反自己双対計量の収束・退化の研究にも有用であると期待される。
上記の研究において、研究費補助金による研究連絡は極めて重要であった。

当科学研究課題の目的は、スカラー曲率が正の山辺計量の収束・退化の解析とその低次元多様体への応用であった。具体的研究成果は下記の通りである。
(1)山辺不変量正かつ体積1の山辺計量を持つn次元多様体の族Y(n)を考え、さらにある種の曲率積分有界の条件下で、収束・退化に関する成果を得た。これは、"11.研究発表の3番目の論文"の主結果の一般化である。
(2)山辺計量の族Y(n)を考え、(1)とは別のタイプの種々の曲率積分有界の条件下で、それらのコンパクト性定理や正の定曲率計量に対するピンチング定理を得た。特に新しいタイプの定理としては、3次元閉多様体上の平坦な共形構造に対するピンチング定理を得た。
以上(1)、(2)の研究成果は、次の論文にまとめており現在投稿中である。
"K.Akutagawa,Convergence for Yamabe metrics of positive scalar curvature with integral bounds on curvature."
またこれらの研究過程において、スカラー曲率が正の山辺計量は、トポロジーへの応用上、3次元の場合が特に有用でありかつ幾つかの予想問題が自然に提出されることがわかった。
4次元の場合においても、反自己双対共形構造に対象を制限すれば、山辺計量の収束・退化の研究はそのモデュライ空間の研究に有用である(この場合には、山辺不変量の符号の条件は不必要となる)。実際"Sobolev半径"と言う概念が導入でき、それを物差しとして、反自己双対的山辺計量の収束・退化の解析はある程度可能であることもわかった。この対象においては具体例が豊富で、今後の研究は反自己双対的山辺計量の収束・退化の研究を中心に進める予定である。
上記の研究において、研究費補助金による研究連絡は極めて重要であった。

1.Riesz空間Lで定義されたlocally solid Lebesgue topology7は、“如何なる条件のもとでL^u(Lのuniversally completion)上に拡張できるか"という問題はI.Labudaにより、種々検討され、1987年解決をみた。大野はそこで明らかにされた条件をさらに弱く設定し、Lがalmost σ-Dedekind完備である場合、L上のどのようなσ-Lebesgue topology 7がL^s(Lのσ-universally completion)上に拡張できるかを論究した。その結果、
(1) Lで定義されたRiesz σ-homomorphismはL^s上に一意に拡張できること。
(2) 7:locally convex-solid σ-Lebesgue topologyの場合、(1)と共に7がL^s上に拡張できるための必要十分条件を明らかにした。また、
(3) 7:locally solid σ-Lebesgue topologyの場合、7がL^sに拡張できるための必要十分条件は、Lで定義された任意のσ-Fatou topology μに対して、Lの非負・増加点列がμ-有界ならば、つねにそれは7-有界であることを明らかにした。さらに、
(4) L^sの表現問題およびLの双対空間による絶対弱位相について、有効な結果を得た。(投稿を予定している)
2. 関連分野の研究について、芥川は測地線による力学系、特に平坦な共形構造のモデュライ空間を山辺計量によって幾何学的に把握することから、そのコンパクト化および境界の詳しい解析にあたり、いくつかの優れた結果を得た。また、立川は芥川と共に差分近似法と変分法を用いて非線形偏微分方程式、特に非コンパクト完備リーマン体様体間の調和写像、および双曲型空間における非有界凸多面体間の調和写像の解析にあたり、有益な結果を得た。
3. 他の研究分担者もそれぞれの分野で良い結果が得られるよう、継続して研究を進めている。

本研究は,多様体上の種々の幾何学的変分問題に対して,対象となる幾何構造を,各変分問題における停留点(良い幾何構造)へ変形していく過程に発生する特異点(幾何構造の退化)の構造とその発生のメカニズムを,対応する非線形偏微分方程式系の解の存在・収束・退化の観点から研究し,より統一的に解明することを目的として行われた。
そのために本研究では,研究分担者を組織委員として,この分野で最近著しい研究成果を挙げている研究者,とくに「幾何学と大域解析学」をテーマに開催された「第1回日本数学会国際研究集会」に招待講演者として選ばれた若手研究者を中心に,平成5年7月2日〜7月10日にかけて東北大学理学部においてワークショップを開催し,共同研究を行った。
この共同研究により,例えば,調和写像をはじめ弾性曲線やヤン・ミルズ場およびリーマン計量の共形変形に関する山辺の問題の研究などにおける,停留点への変形を記述する非線型発展方程式系の弱解の構成法が統一的に理解された。
この共同研究は,我が国におけるこの方面の共同研究をより緊密にするとともに,上記の国際研究集会において日本側の研究成果をより効果的に発表することにも大いに寄与し,その成果はこの国際研究集会のプロシーディングスに10篇の論文として発表された。
一方,この共同研究では,調和写像,極小曲面,ヤン・ミルズ場,アインシュタイン計量などの研究において幾何構造の退化として現れる,いわゆる「バブル・アップ」現象の解明にも焦点をあて,コンピューターシミュレーションによる模擬実験の現状について報告し合ったが,これについてはコンピューターグラフィクスの効率的利用法をはじめ,多くが今後の課題として残された。
