The almost Einstein operator for ( 2 , 3 , 5 ) distributions

Katja Sagerschnig, Travis Willse (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

For the geometry of oriented ( 2 , 3 , 5 ) distributions ( M , ) , which correspond to regular, normal parabolic geometries of type ( G 2 , P ) for a particular parabolic subgroup P < G 2 , we develop the corresponding tractor calculus and use it to analyze the first BGG operator Θ 0 associated to the 7 -dimensional irreducible representation of G 2 . We give an explicit formula for the normal connection on the corresponding tractor bundle and use it to derive explicit expressions for this operator. We also show that solutions of this operator...

The boundary value problem for Dirac-harmonic maps

Qun Chen, Jürgen Jost, Guofang Wang, Miaomiao Zhu (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Dirac-harmonic maps are a mathematical version (with commuting variables only) of the solutions of the field equations of the non-linear supersymmetric sigma model of quantum field theory. We explain this structure, including the appropriate boundary conditions, in a geometric framework. The main results of our paper are concerned with the analytic regularity theory of such Dirac-harmonic maps. We study Dirac-harmonic maps from a Riemannian surface to an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold. We...

The Cauchy problem for systems through the normal form of systems and theory of weighted determinant

Waichiro Matsumoto (1998/1999)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

The author propose what is the principal part of linear systems of partial differential equations in the Cauchy problem through the normal form of systems in the meromorphic formal symbol class and the theory of weighted determinant. As applications, he choose the necessary and sufficient conditions for the analytic well-posedness ( Cauchy-Kowalevskaya theorem ) and C well-posedness (Levi condition).

The CR Yamabe conjecture the case n = 1

Najoua Gamara (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let ( M , θ ) be a compact CR manifold of dimension 2 n + 1 with a contact form θ , and L = ( 2 + 2 / n ) Δ b + R its associated CR conformal laplacien. The CR Yamabe conjecture states that there is a contact form θ ˜ on M conformal to θ which has a constant Webster curvature. This problem is equivalent to the existence of a function u such that L u = u 1 + 2 / n , u > 0 on M . D. Jerison and J. M. Lee solved the CR Yamabe problem in the case where n 2 and ( M , θ ) is not locally CR equivalent to the sphere S 2 n + 1 of 𝐂 n . In a join work with R. Yacoub, the CR Yamabe problem...
