On the differential form spectrum of hyperbolic manifolds

Gilles Carron, Emmanuel Pedon (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We give a lower bound for the bottom of the L 2 differential form spectrum on hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing thus a well-known result due to Sullivan and Corlette in the function case. Our method is based on the study of the resolvent associated with the Hodge-de Rham laplacian and leads to applications for the (co)homology and topology of certain classes of hyperbolic manifolds.

On the dynamics of (left) orderable groups

Andrés Navas (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We develop dynamical methods for studying left-orderable groups as well as the spaces of orderings associated to them. We give new and elementary proofs of theorems by Linnell (if a left-orderable group has infinitely many orderings, then it has uncountably many) and McCleary (the space of orderings of the free group is a Cantor set). We show that this last result also holds for countable torsion-free nilpotent groups which are not rank-one Abelian. Finally, we apply our methods to the case of braid...

On the equivalence of control systems on Lie groups

Rory Biggs, Claudiu C. Remsing (2015)

Communications in Mathematics

We consider state space equivalence and feedback equivalence in the context of (full-rank) left-invariant control systems on Lie groups. We prove that two systems are state space equivalent (resp.~detached feedback equivalent) if and only if there exists a Lie group isomorphism relating their parametrization maps (resp. traces). Local analogues of these results, in terms of Lie algebra isomorphisms, are also found. Three illustrative examples are provided.
