In this article we introduce local gauge conditions under which many curvature tensors appearing in conformal
geometry, such as the Weyl, Cotton, Bach, and Fefferman-Graham obstruction tensors, become elliptic operators. The
gauge conditions amount to fixing an n-harmonic coordinate system and normalizing the determinant of the metric. We
also give corresponding elliptic regularity results and characterizations of local conformal flatness in low regularity
settings.

Tensor tomography: Progress and challenges
Paternain, Gabriel P.; Salo, Mikko; Uhlmann, Gunther (Springer, 2014)We survey recent progress in the problem of recovering a tensor field from its integrals along geodesics. We also propose several open problems. -
Tensor tomography in periodic slabs
Ilmavirta, Joonas; Uhlmann, Gunther (Academic Press, 2018)The X-ray transform on the periodic slab [0, 1]×Tn, n ≥ 0, has a non-trivial kernel due to the symmetry of the manifold and presence of trapped geodesics. For tensor fields gauge freedom increases the kernel further, and ... -
Rank Structured Approximation Method for Quasi-Periodic Elliptic Problems
Khoromskij, Boris; Repin, Sergey (de Gruyter, 2017)We consider an iteration method for solving an elliptic type boundary value problem Au=f, where a positive definite operator A is generated by a quasi-periodic structure with rapidly changing coefficients (a typical period ... -
Conformality and Q-harmonicity in sub-Riemannian manifolds
Capogna, Luca; Citti, Giovanna; Le Donne, Enrico; Ottazzi, Alessandro (Elsevier Masson, 2019)We establish regularity of conformal maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds from regularity of Q-harmonic functions, and in particular we prove a Liouville-type theorem, i.e., 1-quasiconformal maps are smooth in all contact ... -
Ricci-flow based conformal mapping of the proximal femur to identify exercise loading effects
Narra, Nathaniel; Abe, Shinya; Dimitrov, Vassil; Nikander, Riku; Kouhia, Reijo; Sievänen, Harri; Hyttinen, Jari (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)The causal relationship between habitual loading and adaptive response in bone morphology is commonly explored by analysing the spatial distribution of mechanically relevant features. In this study, 3D distribution of ...
