TT-tensors and conformally flat structures on 3-manifolds

R. Beig (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We study TT-tensors on conformally flat 3-manifolds (M,g). The Cotton-York tensor linearized at g maps every symmetric tracefree tensor into one which is TT. The question as to whether this is the general solution to the TT-condition is viewed as a cohomological problem within an elliptic complex first found by Gasqui and Goldschmidt and reviewed in the present paper. The question is answered affirmatively when M is simply connected and has vanishing 2nd de Rham cohomology.

Twisted spherical means in annular regions in n and support theorems

Rama Rawat, R.K. Srivastava (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let Z ( Ann ( r , R ) ) be the class of all continuous functions f on the annulus Ann ( r , R ) in n with twisted spherical mean f × μ s ( z ) = 0 , whenever z n and s > 0 satisfy the condition that the sphere S s ( z ) Ann ( r , R ) and ball B r ( 0 ) B s ( z ) . In this paper, we give a characterization for functions in Z ( Ann ( r , R ) ) in terms of their spherical harmonic coefficients. We also prove support theorems for the twisted spherical means in n which improve some of the earlier results.

Twistor forms on Kähler manifolds

Andrei Moroianu, Uwe Semmelmann (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Twistor forms are a natural generalization of conformal vector fields on riemannian manifolds. They are defined as sections in the kernel of a conformally invariant first order differential operator. We study twistor forms on compact Kähler manifolds and give a complete description up to special forms in the middle dimension. In particular, we show that they are closely related to hamiltonian 2-forms. This provides the first examples of compact Kähler manifolds with non–parallel twistor forms in...

Twistor transforms of quaternionic functions and orthogonal complex structures

Graziano Gentili, Simon Salamon, Caterina Stoppato (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The theory of slice-regular functions of a quaternion variable is applied to the study of orthogonal complex structures on domains Ω of 4 . When Ω is a symmetric slice domain, the twistor transform of such a function is a holomorphic curve in the Klein quadric. The case in which Ω is the complement of a parabola is studied in detail and described by a rational quartic surface in the twistor space P 3 .

Two new estimates for eigenvalues of Dirac operators

Wenmin Gong, Guangcun Lu (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We establish lower and upper eigenvalue estimates for Dirac operators in different settings, a new Kirchberg type estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Kähler spin manifold in terms of the energy momentum tensor, and an upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the twisted Dirac operator on Legendrian submanifolds of Sasakian manifolds. The sharpness of those estimates is also discussed.
