The almost Einstein operator for ( 2 , 3 , 5 ) distributions

Katja Sagerschnig, Travis Willse (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

For the geometry of oriented ( 2 , 3 , 5 ) distributions ( M , ) , which correspond to regular, normal parabolic geometries of type ( G 2 , P ) for a particular parabolic subgroup P < G 2 , we develop the corresponding tractor calculus and use it to analyze the first BGG operator Θ 0 associated to the 7 -dimensional irreducible representation of G 2 . We give an explicit formula for the normal connection on the corresponding tractor bundle and use it to derive explicit expressions for this operator. We also show that solutions of this operator...

The area preserving curve shortening flow with Neumann free boundary conditions

Elena Mäder-Baumdicker (2015)

Geometric Flows

We study the area preserving curve shortening flow with Neumann free boundary conditions outside of a convex domain in the Euclidean plane. Under certain conditions on the initial curve the flow does not develop any singularity, and it subconverges smoothly to an arc of a circle sitting outside of the given fixed domain and enclosing the same area as the initial curve.

The automorphism groups of foliations with transverse linear connection

Nina Zhukova, Anna Dolgonosova (2013)

Open Mathematics

The category of foliations is considered. In this category morphisms are differentiable maps sending leaves of one foliation into leaves of the other foliation. We prove that the automorphism group of a foliation with transverse linear connection is an infinite-dimensional Lie group modeled on LF-spaces. This result extends the corresponding result of Macias-Virgós and Sanmartín Carbón for Riemannian foliations. In particular, our result is valid for Lorentzian and pseudo-Riemannian foliations.

The Bellaterra connection.

Jaak Peetre (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A new object is introduced - the "Fischer bundle". It is, formally speaking, an Hermitean bundle of infinite rank over a bounded symmetric domain whose fibers are Hilbert spaces whose elements can be realized as entire analytic functions square integrable with respect to a Gaussian measure ("Fischer spaces"). The definition was inspired by our previous work on the "Fock bundle". An even more general framework is indicated, which allows one to look upon the two concepts from a unified point of view....

The BIC of a singular foliation defined by an abelian group of isometries

Martintxo Saralegi-Aranguren, Robert Wolak (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study the cohomology properties of the singular foliation ℱ determined by an action Φ: G × M → M where the abelian Lie group G preserves a riemannian metric on the compact manifold M. More precisely, we prove that the basic intersection cohomology * p ̅ ( M / ) is finite-dimensional and satisfies the Poincaré duality. This duality includes two well known situations: ∙ Poincaré duality for basic cohomology (the action Φ is almost free). ∙ Poincaré duality for intersection cohomology (the group G is compact...
