In this paper we prove that there is a bijective correspondence between connections of , the principal bundle of the second order frames of , and stochastic parallel transport in the tangent space of . We construct in a direct geometric way a prolongation of connections without torsion of to connections of . We interpret such prolongation in terms of stochastic calculus.
These notes focus on the applications of the stochastic Taylor expansion of solutions of stochastic differential equations to the study of heat kernels in small times. As an illustration of these methods we provide a new heat kernel proof of the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet theorem.
We prove wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for any defocusing power nonlinearity on a domain of the plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main argument is based on a generalized Strichartz inequality on manifolds with Lipschitz metric.
We prove Strichartz inequalities for the solution of the Schrödinger equation related to the full Laplacian on the Heisenberg group. A key point consists in estimating the decay in time of the norm of the free solution; this requires a careful analysis due also to the non-homogeneous nature of the full Laplacian.
The notion of “strong boundary values” was introduced by the authors in the local theory of hyperfunction boundary values (boundary values of functions with unrestricted growth, not necessarily solutions of a PDE). In this paper two points are clarified, at least in the global setting (compact boundaries): independence with respect to the defining function that defines the boundary, and the spaces of test functions to be used. The proofs rely crucially on simple results in spectral asymptotics.
, that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative of the curvature tensor , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: is a Riemannian symmetric space and is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., at some point), the curvature tensor turns out to...
Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, with dim M ≥ 3, and f: ℝ → ℝ a continuous function which is sublinear at infinity. By various variational approaches, existence of multiple solutions of the eigenvalue problem , σ ∈ M, ω ∈ H₁²(M), is established for certain eigenvalues λ > 0, depending on further properties of f and on explicit forms of the function K̃. Here, stands for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,g), and α, K̃ are smooth positive functions. These multiplicity...
In this paper, we calculate the behaviour of the equivariant Quillen metric by submersions. We thus extend a formula of Berthomieu-Bismut to the equivariant case.
This paper shows how some techniques used for the meromorphic functions of one variable can be used for the explicit construction of a solution to the Mittag-Leffler problem for Dolbeault classes of tipe with singularities in a discrete set of and (a -dimensional complex torus). A generalisation is given for the Weierstrass and the Legendre relations.
