On the transverse Scalar Curvature of a Compact Sasaki Manifold

Weiyong He (2014)

Complex Manifolds

We show that the standard picture regarding the notion of stability of constant scalar curvature metrics in Kähler geometry described by S.K. Donaldson [10, 11], which involves the geometry of infinitedimensional groups and spaces, can be applied to the constant scalar curvature metrics in Sasaki geometry with only few modification. We prove that the space of Sasaki metrics is an infinite dimensional symmetric space and that the transverse scalar curvature of a Sasaki metric is a moment map of the...

Régularité des solutions d'équations aux dérivées partielles non linéaires associées à un système de champs de vecteurs

Chao-Jiang Xu (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Cet article considère des équations aux dérivées partielles non linéaires de la forme F ( x , X α u ) = 0 , | α | m , où les X 1 , ... , X p sont des champs de vecteur vérifiant la condition de Hörmander. Soit u une solution réelle de classe C 2 m + 1 ; on suppose que la localisation de l’opérateur linéarisé sur le groupe de Lie associé au système { X j } est hypoelliptique; nous démontrons sous ces hypothèses que u est de classe C .

Representation of a gauge group as motions of a Hilbert space

Clara Lucía Aldana Domínguez (2004)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This is a survey article based on the author’s Master thesis on affine representations of a gauge group. Most of the results presented here are well-known to differential geometers and physicists familiar with gauge theory. However, we hope this short systematic presentation offers a useful self-contained introduction to the subject.In the first part we present the construction of the group of motions of a Hilbert space and we explain the way in which it can be considered as a Lie group. The second...

The diffeomorphism group of a Lie foliation

Gilbert Hector, Enrique Macías-Virgós, Antonio Sotelo-Armesto (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We describe explicitly the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of several types of minimal linear foliations on the torus T n , n 2 . We show in particular that non-quadratic foliations are rigid, in the sense that their only transverse diffeomorphisms are ± Id and translations. The description derives from a general formula valid for the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of any minimal Lie foliation on a compact manifold. Our results generalize those of P. Donato and P. Iglesias for T 2 , P. Iglesias and...
