On the eta invariant, stable positive scalar curvature, and Higher -genera.
We introduce a class of metrics on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and find the Levi-Civita connections of these metrics. Then by using the Levi-Civita connection, we study the conformal vector fields on the tangent bundle of the Riemannian manifold. Finally, we obtain some relations between the flatness (resp. local symmetry) properties of the tangent bundle and the flatness (resp. local symmetry) on the base manifold.
We study the geometrical properties of a unit vector field on a Riemannian 2-manifold, considering the field as a local imbedding of the manifold into its tangent sphere bundle with the Sasaki metric. For the case of constant curvature , we give a description of the totally geodesic unit vector fields for and and prove a non-existence result for . We also found a family of vector fields on the hyperbolic 2-plane of curvature which generate foliations on with leaves of constant intrinsic...
The Martin compactification of a bounded Lipschitz domain is shown to be for a large class of uniformly elliptic second order partial differential operators on .Let be an open Riemannian manifold and let be open relatively compact, connected, with Lipschitz boundary. Then is the Martin compactification of associated with the restriction to of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on . Consequently an open Riemannian manifold has at most one compactification which is a compact Riemannian...
