Infinitesimal automorphisms and deformations of parabolic geometries

Andreas Čap (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that infinitesimal automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations of parabolic geometries can be nicely described in terms of the twisted de Rham sequence associated to a certain linear connection on the adjoint tractor bundle. For regular normal geometries, this description can be related to the underlying geometric structure using the machinery of BGG sequences. In the locally flat case, this leads to a deformation complex, which generalizes the well known complex for locally conformally...

Integrable system of the heat kernel associated with logarithmic potentials

Kazuhiko Aomoto (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The heat kernel of a Sturm-Liouville operator with logarithmic potential can be described by using the Wiener integral associated with a real hyperplane arrangement. The heat kernel satisfies an infinite-dimensional analog of the Gauss-Manin connection (integrable system), generalizing a variational formula of Schläfli for the volume of a simplex in the space of constant curvature.

Integral Representations of the Logarithmic Derivative of the Selberg Zeta Function

Gušić, Dženan (2010)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

AMS Subj. Classification: MSC2010: 11F72, 11M36, 58J37We point out the importance of the integral representations of the logarithmic derivative of the Selberg zeta function valid up to the critical line, i.e. in the region that includes the right half of the critical strip, where the Euler product definition of the Selberg zeta function does not hold. Most recent applications to the behavior of the Selberg zeta functions associated to a degenerating sequence of finite volume, hyperbolic manifolds of...
