Semilinear overdetermined problems, a divergence formula, and geometric inequalities

Abstract

Considering an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with a boundary that satisfies a Serrin-type problem, we prove sharp upper and lower bounds for the area of such a boundary. Then, we present the main result of this paper: a divergence formula for a special vector field on a given Riemannian manifold. This divergence formula is closely related to sub-static manifolds and related metrics, e.g., V-static, static, and electrostatic manifolds. We show Minkowski-type inequalities for V-sub-static manifolds under different Neumann boundary conditions. Moreover, we prove an area-charge inequality for compact (and noncompact) electrostatic manifolds. The main application of the divergence formula presented in this work generalizes the classical result of Boucher--Gibbons--Horowitz: we prove that an asymptotically hyperbolic space of a static spacetime satisfying the null convergence condition must be the hyperbolic space.
