Two new estimates for eigenvalues of Dirac operators

Wenmin Gong, Guangcun Lu (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We establish lower and upper eigenvalue estimates for Dirac operators in different settings, a new Kirchberg type estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Kähler spin manifold in terms of the energy momentum tensor, and an upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the twisted Dirac operator on Legendrian submanifolds of Sasakian manifolds. The sharpness of those estimates is also discussed.

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces f : Σ n , we study the curvature functionals p ( f ) and 𝒲 p ( f ) with integrands ( 1 + | A | 2 ) p / 2 and ( 1 + | H | 2 ) p / 2 , respectively. Here A is the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature and we assume p > 2 . Our main result asserts that W 2 , p critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for 𝒲 p -bounded sequences. In the case of p this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for 𝒲 p we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below 8 π as an additional condition....

Two-input control systems on the euclidean group  SE (2)

Ross M. Adams, Rory Biggs, Claudiu C. Remsing (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Any two-input left-invariant control affine system of full rank, evolving on the Euclidean group SE (2), is (detached) feedback equivalent to one of three typical cases. In each case, we consider an optimal control problem which is then lifted, via the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, to a Hamiltonian system on the dual space 𝔰𝔢 (2)*. These reduced Hamilton − Poisson systems are the main topic of this paper. A qualitative analysis of each reduced system is performed. This analysis...

Two-jets of conformal fields along their zero sets

Andrzej Derdzinski (2012)

Open Mathematics

The connected components of the zero set of any conformal vector field v, in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g) of arbitrary signature, are of two types, which may be called ‘essential’ and ‘nonessential’. The former consist of points at which v is essential, that is, cannot be turned into a Killing field by a local conformal change of the metric. In a component of the latter type, points at which v is nonessential form a relatively-open dense subset that is at the same time a totally umbilical...

Two-parametric motions in E 3

Adolf Karger (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the local differential geometry of two-parametric motions in the Euclidean space. The first part of the paper contains contemporary formulation of classical results in this area together with the connection to the elliptical differential geometry. The remaining part contains applications. Necessary and sufficient conditions for splitting of a two-parametric motion into a product of two one-parametric motions, characterization of motions with constant invariants and some others....

Two-spinor tetrad and Lie derivatives of Einstein-Cartan-Dirac fields

Daniel Canarutto (2018)

Archivum Mathematicum

An integrated approach to Lie derivatives of spinors, spinor connections and the gravitational field is presented, in the context of a previously proposed, partly original formulation of a theory of Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell-Dirac fields based on “minimal geometric data”: the needed underlying structure is determined, via geometric constructions, from the unique assumption of a complex vector bundle S M with 2-dimensional fibers, called a 2 -spinor bundle. Any further considered object is assumed to...
