Boundary volume and length spectra of Riemannian manifolds: what the middle degree Hodge spectrum doesn't reveal

Carolyn S. Gordon, Juan Pablo Rossetti (2003)

Annales de l'Institut Fourier

Let M be a 2 m -dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on m -forms does not determine whether the manifold has boundary, nor does it determine the lengths of the closed geodesics. Among the many examples are a projective space and a hemisphere that have the same Hodge spectrum on 1- forms, and hyperbolic surfaces, mutually isospectral on 1-forms, with different injectivity radii. The Hodge m -spectrum also does not distinguish orbifolds from manifolds....

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

Koléhè A. Coulibaly-Pasquier (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We generalize brownian motion on a riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent laplacians (inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested in the Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics. We give a notion of parallel transport along this brownian motion, and establish a generalization of the Dohrn–Guerra or damped...

BRS-transformations in a finite dimensional setting

Kraus, Margareta (1997)

Proceedings of the 16th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Summary: In order to get a mathematical understanding of the BRS-transformation and the Slavnov-Taylor identities, we treat them in a finite dimensional setting. We show that in this setting the BRS-transformation is a vector field on a certain supermanifold. The connection to the BRS-complex will be established. Finally we treat the generating functional and the Slavnov-Taylor identity in this setting.

Bubbling on boundary submanifolds for the Lin–Ni–Takagi problem at higher critical exponents

Manuel del Pino, Fethi Mahmudi, Monica Musso (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let Ω be a bounded domain in n with smooth boundary Ω . We consider the equation d 2 Δ u - u + u n - k + 2 n - k - 2 = 0 in Ω , under zero Neumann boundary conditions, where Ω is open, smooth and bounded and d is a small positive parameter. We assume that there is a k -dimensional closed, embedded minimal submanifold K of Ω , which is non-degenerate, and certain weighted average of sectional curvatures of Ω is positive along K . Then we prove the existence of a sequence d = d j 0 and a positive solution u d such that d 2 | u d | 2 S δ K as d 0 in the sense of measures, where δ K ...
