We prove the Poincaré inequality for vector fields on the balls of the control distance by integrating along subunit paths. Our method requires that the balls are representable by means of suitable “controllable almost exponential maps”.

We establish mean curvature estimate for immersed hypersurface with nonnegative extrinsic scalar curvature in Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1}, \bar g)$ through regularity study of a degenerate fully nonlinear curvature equation in general Riemannian manifold. The estimate has a direct consequence for the Weyl isometric embedding problem of $(\mathbb S^2, g)$ in $3$-dimensional warped product space $(N^3, \bar g)$. We also discuss isometric embedding problem in spaces with horizon in general relativity, like the Anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild manifolds and the Reissner-Nordstr\"om manifolds.

Our main result gives necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of Fourier transforms, for an ideal in the convolution algebra of spherical integrable functions on the (conformal) automorphism group of the unit disk to be dense, or to have as closure the closed ideal of functions with integral zero. This is then used to prove a generalization of Furstenberg's theorem, which characterizes harmonic functions on the unit disk by a mean value property, and a “two circles” Morera type theorem (earlier announced by Agranovskii).
