Boundary volume and length spectra of Riemannian manifolds: what the middle degree Hodge spectrum doesn't reveal

Carolyn S. Gordon, Juan Pablo Rossetti (2003)

Annales de l'Institut Fourier

Let M be a 2 m -dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show that the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on m -forms does not determine whether the manifold has boundary, nor does it determine the lengths of the closed geodesics. Among the many examples are a projective space and a hemisphere that have the same Hodge spectrum on 1- forms, and hyperbolic surfaces, mutually isospectral on 1-forms, with different injectivity radii. The Hodge m -spectrum also does not distinguish orbifolds from manifolds....

Brownian motion with respect to time-changing riemannian metrics, applications to Ricci flow

Koléhè A. Coulibaly-Pasquier (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We generalize brownian motion on a riemannian manifold to the case of a family of metrics which depends on time. Such questions are natural for equations like the heat equation with respect to time dependent laplacians (inhomogeneous diffusions). In this paper we are in particular interested in the Ricci flow which provides an intrinsic family of time dependent metrics. We give a notion of parallel transport along this brownian motion, and establish a generalization of the Dohrn–Guerra or damped...

B.-Y. Chen's inequalities for submanifolds of Sasakian space forms

Filip Defever, Ion Mihai, Leopold Verstraelen (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Recentemente, B.-Y. Chen ha introdotto una nuova serie di invarianti δ n 1 , , n k riemanniani per ogni varietà riemanniana. Ha anche ottenuto disuguaglianze strette per questi invarianti per sottovarietà di forme spaziali reali e complesse in funzione della loro curvatura media. Nel presente lavoro proviamo analoghe stime per gli invarianti δ n 1 , , n k per sottovarietà C -totalmente reali e C R di contatto di una forma spaziale di Sasaki M ~ c .
