Bounded cohomology and isometry groups of hyperbolic spaces

Ursula Hamenstädt (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let Γ be a countable subgroup of the isometry group Iso ( X ) of X . We show that if Γ is non-elementary and weakly acylindrical (this is a weak properness condition) then the second bounded cohomology groups H b 2 ( Γ , ) , H b 2 ( Γ , p ( Γ ) ) ( 1 < ...

Bounding the degree of solutions to Pfaff equations

Marco Brunella, Luis Gustavo Mendes (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We study hypersurfaces of complex projective manifolds which are invariant by a foliation, or more generally which are solutions to a Pfaff equation. We bound their degree using classical results on logarithmic forms.

Brownian motion and random walks on manifolds

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.

Brownian motion and transient groups

Nicolas Th. Varopoulos (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper I consider M ˜ M a covering of a Riemannian manifold M . I prove that Green’s function exists on M ˜ if any and only if the symmetric translation invariant random walks on the covering group G are transient (under the assumption that M is compact).

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

Koléhè A. Coulibaly-Pasquier (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We generalize brownian motion on a riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent laplacians (inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested in the Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics. We give a notion of parallel transport along this brownian motion, and establish a generalization of the Dohrn–Guerra or damped...

BRS-transformations in a finite dimensional setting

Kraus, Margareta (1997)

Proceedings of the 16th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Summary: In order to get a mathematical understanding of the BRS-transformation and the Slavnov-Taylor identities, we treat them in a finite dimensional setting. We show that in this setting the BRS-transformation is a vector field on a certain supermanifold. The connection to the BRS-complex will be established. Finally we treat the generating functional and the Slavnov-Taylor identity in this setting.
