Aspects of parabolic invariant theory

Gover, Rod A.

Similarity:

A certain family of homogeneous spaces is investigated. Basic invariant operators for each of these structures are presented and some analogies to Levi-Civita connections of Riemannian geometry are pointed out.

Spectral theory of invariant operators, sharp inequalities, and representation theory

Branson, Thomas

Similarity:

The paper represents the lectures given by the author at the 16th Winter School on Geometry and Physics, Srni, Czech Republic, January 13-20, 1996. He develops in an elegant manner the theory of conformal covariants and the theory of functional determinant which is canonically associated to an elliptic operator on a compact pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The presentation is excellently realized with a lot of details, examples and open problems.
