A remark on semi-∇-flat functions

Wojciech Kozłowski (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We give a pointwise characterization of semi-∇-flat functions on an affine manifold (M,∇).

A representation of the coalgebra of derivations for smooth spaces

Fischer, Gerald (1999)

Proceedings of the 18th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Let K be a field. The generalized Leibniz rule for higher derivations suggests the definition of a coalgebra 𝒟 K k for any positive integer k . This is spanned over K by d 0 , ... , d k , and has comultiplication Δ and counit ε defined by Δ ( d i ) = j = 0 i d j d i - j and ε ( d i ) = δ 0 , i (Kronecker’s delta) for any i . This note presents a representation of the coalgebra 𝒟 K k by using smooth spaces and a procedure of microlocalization. The author gives an interpretation of this result following the principles of the quantum theory of geometric spaces.

A Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch formula for traces of differential operators

Markus Engeli, Giovanni Felder (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let D be a holomorphic differential operator acting on sections of a holomorphic vector bundle on an n -dimensional compact complex manifold. We prove a formula, conjectured by Feigin and Shoikhet, giving the Lefschetz number of D as the integral over the manifold of a differential form. The class of this differential form is obtained via formal differential geometry from the canonical generator of the Hochschild cohomology H H 2 n ( 𝒟 n , 𝒟 n * ) of the algebra of differential operators on a formal neighbourhood of a...

A rigidity theorem for Riemann's minimal surfaces

Pascal Romon (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We describe first the analytic structure of Riemann’s examples of singly-periodic minimal surfaces; we also characterize them as extensions of minimal annuli bounded by parallel straight lines between parallel planes. We then prove their uniqueness as solutions of the perturbed problem of a punctured annulus, and we present standard methods for determining finite total curvature periodic minimal surfaces and solving the period problems.

A rough curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces

Anca-Iuliana Bonciocat (2014)

Open Mathematics

We introduce and study a rough (approximate) curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces, applicable especially in the framework of discrete spaces and graphs. This condition extends the one introduced by Karl-Theodor Sturm, in his 2006 article On the geometry of metric measure spaces II, to a larger class of (possibly non-geodesic) metric measure spaces. The rough curvature-dimension condition is stable under an appropriate notion of convergence, and stable under discretizations as...

A second-order identity for the Riemann tensor and applications

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A second-order differential identity for the Riemann tensor is obtained on a manifold with a symmetric connection. Several old and some new differential identities for the Riemann and Ricci tensors are derived from it. Applications to manifolds with recurrent or symmetric structures are discussed. The new structure of K-recurrency naturally emerges from an invariance property of an old identity due to Lovelock.

A short note on f -biharmonic hypersurfaces

Selcen Y. Perktaş, Bilal E. Acet, Adara M. Blaga (2020)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the present paper we give some properties of f -biharmonic hypersurfaces in real space forms. By using the f -biharmonic equation for a hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, we characterize the f -biharmonicity of constant mean curvature and totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold and, in particular, in a real space form. As an example, we consider f -biharmonic vertical cylinders in S 2 × .
