A short note on Seshadri constants and packing constants

Halszka Tutaj-Gasińska (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The note is about a connection between Seshadri constants and packing constants and presents another proof of Lazarsfeld's result from [Math. Res. Lett. 3 (1996), 439-447].

A Singularity Theorem for Twistor Spinors

Florin Alexandru Belgun, Nicolas Ginoux, Hans-Bert Rademacher (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor admits at most one zero which is singular unless the orbifold is conformally equivalent to a round sphere. We show the sharpness of our results through examples.

A spectral estimate for the Dirac operator on Riemannian flows

Nicolas Ginoux, Georges Habib (2010)

Open Mathematics

We give a new upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian flow carrying transversal Killing spinors. We derive an estimate on both Sasakian and 3-dimensional manifolds, and partially classify those satisfying the limiting case. Finally, we compare our estimate with a lower bound in terms of a natural tensor depending on the eigenspinor.

A spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group and a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n

E. K. Narayanan, S. Thangavelu (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove a spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group by means of a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n . If f ( z ) e 1 4 | z | 2 is a Schwartz class function we show that f is supported in a ball of radius B in n if and only if f × μ r ( z ) = 0 for r > B + | z | for all z n . This is an analogue of Helgason’s support theorem on Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. When n = 1 we show that the two conditions f × μ r ( z ) = μ r × f ( z ) = 0 for r > B + | z | imply a support theorem for a large class of functions with exponential growth. Surprisingly enough,this latter...
