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....

Collapse of warped submersions

Szymon M. Walczak (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We generalize the concept of warped manifold to Riemannian submersions π: M → B between two compact Riemannian manifolds ( M , g M ) and ( B , g B ) in the following way. If f: B → (0,∞) is a smooth function on B which is extended to a function f̂ = f ∘ π constant along the fibres of π then we define a new metric g f on M by g f | × g M | × , g f | × T M ̂ f ̂ ² g M | × T M ̂ , where and denote the bundles of horizontal and vertical vectors. The manifold ( M , g f ) obtained that way is called a warped submersion. The function f is called a warping function. We show a necessary...
