Cayley transform, outer exponential and spinor norm
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]We are interested in partial differential equations on domains in . One of the most natural questions is that of analytic continuation of solutions and domains of holomorphy. Our aim is to describe the domains of holomorphy for solutions of the complex Laplace and Dirac equations. We call them cells of harmonicity. We deduce their properties mostly by examining geometrical properties of the characteristic surface (which is the same for both equations),...
We relate centroaffine immersions to horizontal immersions g of Mⁿ into or . We also show that f is an equiaffine sphere, i.e. the centroaffine normal is a constant multiple of the Blaschke normal, if and only if g is minimal.
We study certain contact metrics satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition. First, we prove that a complete K-contact metric satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition is isometric to the unit sphere . Next, we study (κ,μ)-contact metrics satisfying the Miao-Tam critical condition.
The authors generalize a construction of Connes by defining for an -bundle over smooth manifold and a reduced cyclic cohomology class a sequence of de Rham cohomology classes . Here is a convenient algebra, defined by the authors, and is a locally trivial bundle with standard fibre a right finitely generated projective -module and bounded -modules homomorphisms as transition functions.
