A convergence result for finite volume schemes on Riemannian manifolds

Jan Giesselmann (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper studies a family of finite volume schemes for the hyperbolic scalar conservation law u t + g · f ( x , u ) = 0 on a closed Riemannian manifold M. For an initial value in BV(M) we will show that these schemes converge with a h 1 4 convergence rate towards the entropy solution. When M is 1-dimensional the schemes are TVD and we will show that this improves the convergence rate to h 1 2 .

A counterexample to smooth leafwise Hodge decomposition for general foliations and to a type of dynamical trace formulas

Christopher Deninger, Wilhelm Singhof (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct a two dimensional foliation with dense leaves on the Heisenberg nilmanifold for which smooth leafwise Hodge decomposition does not hold. It is also shown that a certain type of dynamical trace formulas relating periodic orbits with traces on leafwise cohomologies does not hold for arbitrary flows.

A fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in Arakelov geometry II: A residue formula

Kai Köhler, Damien Roessler (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This is the second of a series of papers dealing with an analog in Arakelov geometry of the holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point formula. We use the main result of the first paper to prove a residue formula "à la Bott" for arithmetic characteristic classes living on arithmetic varieties acted upon by a diagonalisable torus; recent results of Bismut- Goette on the equivariant (Ray-Singer) analytic torsion play a key role in the proof.

A fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem on manifolds with boundary

Aobing Li, Yan Yan Li (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We propose to study a fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem on manifolds with boundary. The boundary condition for the conformal metric is the mean curvature. We establish some Liouville type theorems and Harnack type inequalities.
