On the Laguerre calculus of left-invariant convolution (pseudo-differential) operators on the Heisenberg group
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold and an elliptic, formally self-adjoint, conformally covariant operator of order acting on smooth sections of a bundle over . We prove that if has no rigid eigenspaces (see Definition 2.2), the set of functions for which has only simple non-zero eigenvalues is a residual set in . As a consequence we prove that if has no rigid eigenspaces for a dense set of metrics, then all non-zero eigenvalues are simple for a residual set of metrics in the -topology....
We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.
We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere S3 is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.
We show that, if a certain Sobolev inequality holds, then a scale-invariant elliptic Harnack inequality suffices to imply its a priori stronger parabolic counterpart. Neither the relative Sobolev inequality nor the elliptic Harnack inequality alone suffices to imply the parabolic Harnack inequality in question; both are necessary conditions. As an application, we show the equivalence between parabolic Harnack inequality for on , (i.e., for ) and elliptic Harnack inequality for on .
We prove pointwise lower bounds for the heat kernel of Schrödinger semigroups on Euclidean domains under Dirichlet boundary conditions. The bounds take into account non-Gaussian corrections for the kernel due to the geometry of the domain. The results are applied to prove a general lower bound for the Schrödinger heat kernel in horn-shaped domains without assuming intrinsic ultracontractivity for the free heat semigroup.
We present a brief survey of the spectral theory and dynamics of infinite volume asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. Beginning with their geometry and examples, we proceed to their spectral and scattering theories, dynamics, and the physical description of their quantum and classical mechanics. We conclude with a discussion of recent results, ideas, and conjectures.
In this Note we give a rule to compute explicitely the spectrum and the eigenfunctions of the total space of a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers, in terms of the spectra and eigenfunctions of the typical fiber and any associated principal bundle.
