Isometry groups of singular spaces.
Dans cet article, nous proposons une approche très directe de différents inégalités isopérimétriques.
We construct the first examples of continuous families of isospectral Riemannian metrics that are not locally isometric on closed manifolds , more precisely, on , where is a torus of dimension and is a sphere of dimension . These metrics are not locally homogeneous; in particular, the scalar curvature of each metric is nonconstant. For some of the deformations, the maximum scalar curvature changes during the deformation.
We construct new examples of compact Riemann surfaces which are non isometric but have the same spectrum of the Laplacian. Examples are given for genus and for all . In a second part we give examples of isospectral non isometric surfaces in which are realizable by paper models.
We discuss the notion of isotropic curvature of a Riemannian manifold and relations between the sign of this curvature and the geometry and topology of the manifold.
We extend some results by Goldshtein, Kuzminov, and Shvedov about the -cohomology of warped cylinders to -cohomology for . As an application, we establish some sufficient conditions for the nontriviality of the -torsion of a surface of revolution.
