Aledo, José M. Espinar and José A. Gálvez [8], we describe some applications of an abstract theory for the Codazzi equation on surfaces. This theory deals with abstract pairs of quadratic forms on a surface, in particular the so-called Codazzi pairs, for which the Codazzi equation is satisfied. Among the applications, we give a proof of an abstract version of a classical theorem due to Hopf on immersed spheres in Euclidean space R3 with constant mean curvature. Other applications are proofs of Liebmann s theorem on complete surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature in R3 and of Grove s theorem on the rigidity of ovaloids. We also study the existence of holomorphic quadratic differentials associated with Codazzi pairs. This is used, in particular, in the classification of complete embedded elliptic special Weingarten surfaces of non-minimal type in R3 whose Gaussian curvature does not change sign. / Nesta dissertação, baseada no artigo The Codazzi Equation for Surfaces de Juan A. Aledo, José M. Espinar e José A. Gálvez [8], descrevemos algumas aplicações de uma teoria abstrata para a equação de Codazzi em superfícies. Nessa teoria são estudados de modo abstrato, pares de formas quadráticas definidos em uma superfície satisfazendo certas propriedades, em particular os chamados pares de Codazzi, para os quais a equação de Codazzi é satisfeita. Dentre as aplicações, apresentamos uma demonstração de uma versão abstrata do clássico teorema de Hopf sobre superfícies homeomorfas à esfera imersas em R3 com curvatura média constante. Outras aplicações são demonstrações do teorema de Liebmann sobre superfícies completas em R3 com curvatura Gaussiana constante positiva e do teorema de Grove sobre rigidez dos ovalóides. Estudamos também a existência de diferenciais quadráticas holomorfas associadas a pares de Codazzi, as quais são usadas, em particular, na classificação das superfícies de Weingarten especiais elípticas de tipo não-mínimo, completas e mergulhadas em R3, cuja curvatura Gaussiana não muda de sinal.

Precisamente, generalizamos alguns teoremas clássicos da teoria de superfícies e unificamos a prova de outros resultados, aparentemente não relacionados. Além disso, estudamos a existência de diferenciais quadráticas holomorfas, estimativas de altura e aplicamos a referida teoria abstrata na classificação das superfícies de Weingarten especiais elípticas, completas e mergulhadas em R³, cuja curvatura Gaussiana não muda de sinal.

In the thesis we investigate two problems on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in differential geometry and fluid mechanics. First, we prove the weak L^p continuity of the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci (GCR) equations, which serve as a compatibility condition for the isometric immersions of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian manifolds. Our arguments, based on the generalised compensated compactness theorems established via functional and micro-local analytic methods, are intrinsic and global. Second, we prove the vanishing viscosity limit of an incompressible fluid in three-dimensional smooth, curved domains, with the kinematic and Navier boundary conditions. It is shown that the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equation in H^r+1 (r > 5/2) converges to the strong solution of the Euler equation with the kinematic boundary condition in H^r, as the viscosity tends to zero. For the proof, we derive energy estimates using the special geometric structure of the Navier boundary conditions; in particular, the second fundamental form of the fluid boundary and the vorticity thereon play a crucial role. In these projects we emphasise the linkages between the techniques in differential geometry and mathematical hydrodynamics.
