Let be the error term in Weyl’s law for a 3-dimensional Riemannian Heisenberg manifold. We prove that , where is a specific nonzero constant and is an arbitrary small positive number. This is consistent with the conjecture of Petridis and Toth stating that .The idea of the proof is to use the Poisson summation formula to write the error term in a form which can be estimated by the method of the stationary phase. The similar result will be also proven in the -dimensional case.
Consider the family uₜ = Δu + G(u), t > 0, , , t > 0, , of semilinear Neumann boundary value problems, where, for ε > 0 small, the set is a thin domain in , possibly with holes, which collapses, as ε → 0⁺, onto a (curved) k-dimensional submanifold of . If G is dissipative, then equation has a global attractor . We identify a “limit” equation for the family , prove convergence of trajectories and establish an upper semicontinuity result for the family as ε → 0⁺.
