On the differential form spectrum of hyperbolic manifolds

Gilles Carron, Emmanuel Pedon (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We give a lower bound for the bottom of the L 2 differential form spectrum on hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing thus a well-known result due to Sullivan and Corlette in the function case. Our method is based on the study of the resolvent associated with the Hodge-de Rham laplacian and leads to applications for the (co)homology and topology of certain classes of hyperbolic manifolds.

On the product formula on noncompact Grassmannians

Piotr Graczyk, Patrice Sawyer (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the absolute continuity of the convolution δ e X * δ e Y of two orbital measures on the symmetric space SO₀(p,q)/SO(p)×SO(q), q > p. We prove sharp conditions on X,Y ∈ for the existence of the density of the convolution measure. This measure intervenes in the product formula for the spherical functions. We show that the sharp criterion developed for SO₀(p,q)/SO(p)×SO(q) also serves for the spaces SU(p,q)/S(U(p)×U(q)) and Sp(p,q)/Sp(p)×Sp(q), q > p. We moreover apply our results to the study of...

On the transverse Scalar Curvature of a Compact Sasaki Manifold

Weiyong He (2014)

Complex Manifolds

We show that the standard picture regarding the notion of stability of constant scalar curvature metrics in Kähler geometry described by S.K. Donaldson [10, 11], which involves the geometry of infinitedimensional groups and spaces, can be applied to the constant scalar curvature metrics in Sasaki geometry with only few modification. We prove that the space of Sasaki metrics is an infinite dimensional symmetric space and that the transverse scalar curvature of a Sasaki metric is a moment map of the...
