Analytic torsions on contact manifolds

Michel Rumin, Neil Seshadri (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We propose a definition for analytic torsion of the contact complex on contact manifolds. We show it coincides with Ray–Singer torsion on any 3 -dimensional CR Seifert manifold equipped with a unitary representation. In this particular case we compute it and relate it to dynamical properties of the Reeb flow. In fact the whole spectral torsion function we consider may be interpreted on CR Seifert manifolds as a purely dynamical function through Selberg-like trace formulae, that hold also...

Reidemeister Torsion and Analytic Torsion of Discs

T. de Melo, L. Hartmann, M. Spreafico (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We study the Reidemeister torsion and the analytic torsion of the m-dimensional disc in the Euclidean m-dimensional space, using the base for the homology defined by Ray and Singer in [10]. We prove that the Reidemeister torsion coincides with the square root of the volume of the disc. We study the additional terms arising in the analytic torsion due to the boundary, using generalizations of the Cheeger-Müller theorem. We use a formula proved by Brüning and Ma [1], that predicts a new...

On analytic torsion over C*-algebras

Alan Carey, Varghese Mathai, Alexander Mishchenko (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper, we present an analytic definition for the relative torsion for flat C*-algebra bundles over a compact manifold. The advantage of such a relative torsion is that it is defined without any hypotheses on the flat C*-algebra bundle. In the case where the flat C*-algebra bundle is of determinant class, we relate it easily to the L^2 torsion as defined in [7],[5].

Invariant torsion and G2-metrics

Diego Conti, Thomas Bruun Madsen (2015)

Complex Manifolds

Similarity:

We introduce and study a notion of invariant intrinsic torsion geometrywhich appears, for instance, in connection with the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spinor bundle over S3. This space is foliated by sixdimensional hypersurfaces, each of which carries a particular type of SO(3)-structure; the intrinsic torsion is invariant under SO(3). The last condition is sufficient to imply local homogeneity of such geometries, and this allows us to give a classification. We close the circle by showing...

Localization and colocalization in tilting torsion theory for coalgebras

Yuan Li, Hailou Yao (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Tilting theory plays an important role in the representation theory of coalgebras. This paper seeks how to apply the theory of localization and colocalization to tilting torsion theory in the category of comodules. In order to better understand the process, we give the (co)localization for morphisms, (pre)covers and special precovers. For that reason, we investigate the (co)localization in tilting torsion theory for coalgebras.
