Bifurcation for Monge-Ampère Equations on Flat Tori.
Let be a -dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on -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 -spectrum also does not distinguish orbifolds from manifolds....
We generalize the concept of warped manifold to Riemannian submersions π: M → B between two compact Riemannian manifolds and 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 on M by , where and denote the bundles of horizontal and vertical vectors. The manifold obtained that way is called a warped submersion. The function f is called a warping function. We show a necessary...
