We define analogue of theta-functions on the Kodaira--Thurston manifold which is a compact 4-dimensional symplectic manifold and use them to construct canonical symplectic embedding of the Kodaira--Thurston manifold into the complex projective space (analogue of the Lefshetz theorem). |
The main goal of this paper is to generalize some Li-Yau type gradient estimates to Finsler geometry in order to derive Harnack type inequalities. Moreover, we obtain, under some curvature assumption, a general gradient estimate for positive solutions of the heat equation when the manifold evolving along the Finsler R... |
In this paper, we study Kropina metrics with isotropic scalar curvature. First, we obtain the expressions of Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature. |
Some aspects of the connection between differential geometry and multidimensional soliton equations are discussed. |
In this paper, we establish a number of results about the topology of the leaves of a closed singular Riemannian foliation $(M,\fol)$. If $M$ is simply connected, we prove that the leaves are finitely covered by nilpotent spaces, and characterize the fundamental group of the generic leaves. |
We introduce and classify singular foliations of $b^{k+1}$-type, which formalize the properties of vector fields that are tangent to a submanifold $W \subset M$ to order $k$. When $W$ is a hypersurface, these structures are Lie algebroids generalizing the $b^{k+1}$-tangent bundles introduced by Scott. |
A conformal metric on a 4-ball induces on the boundary 3-sphere a conformal metric and a trace-free second fundamental form. Conversely, such a data on the 3-sphere is the boundary of a unique selfdual conformal metric, defined in a neighborhood of the sphere. |
The present paper is intended to provide the basis for the study of weakly differentiable functions on rectifiable varifolds with locally bounded first variation. The concept proposed here is defined by means of integration by parts identities for certain compositions with smooth functions. |
We prove the positive mass theorem for manifolds with distributional curvature which have been studied in \cite{Lee2015} without spin condition. In our case, the manifold $M$ has asymptotically flat metric $g\in C^0\bigcap W^{1,p}_{-q}$, $p>n$, $q>\frac{n-2}{2}$. |
These are the notes for the talk "Hodge numbers of a hypothetical complex structure on $S^6$" given by the author at the MAM1 "(Non)-existence of complex structures on $S^6$" held in Marburg in March 2017. They are based on [A. |
We present a modern formulation of Élie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. |
We carry out calculations of Orlicz cohomology for some basic Riemannian manifolds (the real line, the hyperbolic plane, the ball). Relationship between Orlicz cohomology and Poincaré--Sobolev--Orlicz-type inequalities is discussed. |
In this note we study $(\lambda,\mu)$-eigenfamilies on compact Riemannian manifolds when $\lambda = \mu$. We show that any compact manifold admitting a $(\lambda,\lambda)$-eigenfunction is a mapping torus and that any $(\lambda,\lambda)$-eigenfamily is one dimensional. |
We formulate the generalization of the Legendrian Low conjecture of Natario and Tod (proved by Nemirovski and myself before) to the case of causally simple spacetimes. We prove a weakened version of the corresponding statement. |
We introduce a graph $\Gamma$ which is roughly isometric to the hyperbolic plane and we study the Steklov eigenvalues of a subgraph with boundary $\Omega$ of $\Gamma$. For $(\Omega_l)_{l\geq 1}$ a sequence of subraphs of $\Gamma$ such that $|\Omega_l| \longrightarrow \infty$, we prove that for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$,... |
The semidirect product of the real Heisenberg group ${\rm H}_1(\mathbb{R})$ with ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, called the real Jacobi group $G^J_1(\mathbb{R})$, admits a four-parameter invariant metric expressed in the S-coordinates. We determine the geodesic equations on the extended Siegel--Jacobi upper half-plane $\til... |
We prove that the pullback of the SU(n)-soliton of Chern class $c_2=1$ over $\mathbb S^4$ via the radial projection $\pi:\mathbb B^5\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb S^4$ minimizes the Yang-Mills energy under the fixed boundary trace constraint. In particular this shows that stationary Yang-Mills connections in high dimension ... |
In this paper we study a Ricci-Hessian type manifold $(\Bbb{M},g,\varphi,f,\lambda)$ which is closely related to the construction of almost Ricci soliton realized as a warped product. We classify certain classes of the Ricci-Hessian type manifolds and derive some implications for almost Ricci solitons and generalized ... |
If $M$ is a finite volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold, the quantity $\mathcal A_1(M)$ is defined as the infimum of the areas of closed minimal surfaces in $M$. In this paper we study the continuity property of the functional $\mathcal A_1$ with respect to the geometric convergence of hyperbolic manifolds. |
In this article, we introduce and study singular foliations of $b^k$-type. These singular foliations formalize the properties of vector fields that are tangent to order $k$ along a submanifold $W \subset M$. |
We show how one can associate to a given class of finite type G-structures a classifying Lie algebroid. The corresponding Lie groupoid gives models for the different geometries that one can find in the class, and encodes also the different types of symmetry groups. |
We consider the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator $\Delta $ on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. For $M$ homogeneous with irreducible isotropy representation and for a fixed eigenvalue of $\Delta $ we find the average number of common zeros of $n$ eigenfunctions. |
We investigate the $\mathbb{T}^2$-quotient of a torsion free $Spin(7)$-structure on an $8$-manifold under the assumption that the quotient $6$-manifold is Kähler. We show that there exists either a Hamiltonian $S^1$ or $\mathbb{T}^2$ action on the quotient preserving the complex structure. |
We study initial value problems for various geometric equations on a cohomogeneity manifold near a singular orbit. We show that when prescribing the Ricci curvature, or finding solutions to the Einstein and soliton equations, there exist solutions near the singular orbit, unique up to a finite number of constants. |
We propose an analytic torsion for the Rumin complex associated with generic rank two distributions on closed 5-manifolds. This torsion behaves as expected with respect to Poincare duality and finite coverings. |
A classical result of Aubin states that the constant in Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality on $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ can be imporved for furnctions with zero first order moments of the area element. We generalize it to higher order moments case. |
A nearly Kähler manifold is an almost Hermitian manifold with the weakened Kähler condition, that is, instead of being zero, the covariant derivative of the almost complex structure is skew-symmetric. We give the explicit parameterization of geodesic lines on the nearly Kähler S^3\timesS^3. |
The paper is concerned with defining a topology on the set of ideals of codimension d of the algebra C^\infty(M,R) with M being a compact smooth manifold. Its main property is that it is compact Hausdorff and it contains as a subspace the configuration space of d distinct unordered points in M and therefore provides a... |
In this article, we consider the limit of quasi-local conserved quantities [31,9] at the infinity of an asymptotically hyperbolic initial data set in general relativity. These give notions of total energy-momentum, angular momentum, and center of mass. |
We introduce pseudo-spherical non-null framed curves in the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime and establish the existence and uniqueness of these curves. We then give moving frames along pseudo-spherical framed curves, which are well-defined even at singular points of the curve. |
In this work we investigate families of compact Lorentzian manifolds in dimension four. We show that every lightlike geodesic on such spaces is periodic, while there are closed and non-closed spacelike and timelike geodesics. |
We find all pairs of real analytic functions $f$ and $g$ in $\bbR^n$ such that $|\nabla f|=|\nabla g|$ and $(\nabla f)(\nabla |
This paper investigates the question of stability for a class of Ricci flows which start at possibly non-smooth metric spaces. We show that if the initial metric space is Reifenberg and locally bi-Lipschitz to Euclidean space, then two solutions to the Ricci flow whose Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded from below a... |
Using the Wodzicki residue, we build Wodzicki-Chern-Simons (WCS) classes in $H^{2k-1}(LM)$ associated to the residue Chern character on the loop space $LM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M^{2k-1}$. These WCS classes are associated to the $L^2$ connection and the Sobolev $s=1$ connections on $LM. |
In a recent paper, it was claimed that any homogeneous Finsler space of odd dimension admits a homogeneous geodesic through any point. For the proof, the algebraic method dealing with the reductive decomposition of the Lie algebra of the isometry group was used. |
Given a central extension of Lie groups, we study the classification problem of lifting the structure group together with a given connection. For reductive structure groups we introduce a new connective structure on the lifting gerbe associated to this problem. |
We prove a conjecture of Gromov's to the effect that manifolds with isotropic curvature bounded below by 1 (after possibly rescaling) are macroscopically 1-dimensional on the scales greater than 1. As a consequence we prove that compact manifolds with positive isotropic curvature have virtually free fundamental gr... |
Let $E$ be a Hermitian vector bundle over a complete Kähler manifold $(X,\omega)$, $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}X=n$, with a $d$(bounded) Kähler form $\omega$, $d_{A}$ be a Hermitian connection on $E$. The goal of this article is to study the $L^{2}$-Hodge theory on the vector bundle $E$. |
When the rank of the bundle is $\geq 2$, in a certain sense, we found an essential obstruction for the gluing construction of $G_{2}-$instantons with $1-$dimensional singularities. It involves the Atiyah classes generated by contracting a vector in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ with the curvature. |
In this paper, we mainly prove a theorem with a corollary establishing two characterizations of the Calabi composition of hyperbolic hyperspheres, where the second characterization (i.e., the corollary) has been given via a dual correspondence theorem earlier but now we would like to use a very direct method. Note tha... |
The class of traveling wave solutions of the sine-Gordon equation is known to be in 1-1 correspondence with the class of (necessarily singular) pseudospherical surfaces in Euclidean space with screw-motion symmetry: the pseudospherical helicoids. We explicitly describe all pseudospherical helicoids in terms of ellipti... |
We continue the~study of embedding between different classes of Sobolev spaces of differential forms started in 2006 in a~paper by Gol'dshtein and Troyanov. As in this paper, our study is based on relations between $L_{q,p}$-cohomology and Sobolev type inequalities. |
Some basic geometric properties of doubly twisted product immersions are established. |
In this paper, it is proved that a connected 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold or a closed connected semi-Riemannian manifold $M^n$($n>1$) admitting a projective vector field with a non-linearizable singularity is projectively flat. |
We develop a complete Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for twisted pairs on a compact Riemann surface X. The main novelty lies in a careful study of the the notion of polystability for pairs, required for having a bijective correspondence between solutions to the Hermite-Einstein equations, on one hand, and polystable ... |
In this paper we will construct a Weierstrass type representation for minimal surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian Damek-Ricci spaces and we give some examples of such surfaces. |
In this paper we show that a compact warped product Einstein manifold with vanishing Bach tensor of dimension $n \geq 4$ is a finite quotient of a warped product with $(n-1)$-dimensional Einstein fiber. The fiber has constant curvature if $n=4$. |
Let G_R be a Lie group acting on an oriented manifold M, and let $\omega$ be an equivariantly closed form on M. If both G_R and M are compact, then the integral $\int_M \omega$ is given by the fixed point integral localization formula (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]). Unfortunately, this formula fails when the acting Lie group... |
We present a new construction for obtaining pairs of higher-step isospectral Riemannian nilmanifolds and compare several resulting new examples. In particular, we present new examples of manifolds that are isospectral on functions, but not isospectral on one-forms. |
We define a new geometric flow, which we shall call the $K$-flow, on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds; and study the behavior of Thurston's model geometries under this flow both analytically and numerically. As an example, we show that an initially arbitrarily deformed homogeneous 3-sphere flows into a round 3-s... |
The blocking number of a manifold is the minimal number of points needed to block out lights between any two given points in the manifold. It has been conjectured that if the blocking number of a manifold is finite, then the manifold must be flat. |
Finsler space is differentiable manifold for which Minkowski space is the fiber of the tangent bundle. To understand structure of the reference frame in Finsler space, we need to understand the structure of orthonormal basis in Minkowski space. |
We consider a compact submanifold $M$ of a Riemannian manifold $N$ and we use the second variation formula as a tool to drive some geometric results on reach$(M, N)$ the reach of $M$ in $N$, including some useful relations between the extrinsic geometry of $M$ in $N$ and reach$(M, N)$. Our results generalize some theo... |
A foliation F on a Riemannian manifold M is homogeneous if its leaves coincide with the orbits of an isometric action on M. A foliation F is polar if it admits a section, that is, a connected closed totally geodesic submanifold of M which intersects each leaf of F, and intersects orthogonally at each point of intersect... |
We define and study the regularity of distance maps on geodesically complete spaces with curvature bounded above. We prove that such a regular map is locally a Hurewicz fibration. |
We present a classification of compact Kaehler manifolds admitting a hamiltonian 2-form (which were classified locally in part I of this work). This involves two components of independent interest. |
We give a summary of recent results on the explicit local form of the second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds in arbitrary dimension, and its global version. These spacetimes turn out to be essentially a specific subclass of plane waves. |
Douglas metrics are metrics with vanishing Douglas curvature which is an important projective invariant in Finsler geometry. To find more Douglas metrics, in this paper we consider a class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha=\sqrt{a_{ij}(x)y^iy^j... |
Some nilpotent Lie groups possess a transformation group analogous to the similarity group acting on the Euclidean space. We call such a pair a nilpotent similarity structure. |
We propose here a geometric and topological setting for the study of branching effects arising in various fields of research, e.g. in statistical mechanics and turbulence theory. We describe various aspects that appear key points to us, and finish with a limit of such a construction which stand in the dynamics on prob... |
We study twistor forms on products of compact Riemannian manifolds and show that they are defined by Killing forms on the factors. The main result of this note is a necessary step in the classification of compact Riemannian manifolds with non-generic holonomy carrying twistor forms. |
In this work we investigate solvable and nilpotent Lie groups with special metrics. The metrics of interest are left-invariant Einstein and algebraic Ricci soliton metrics. |
It is explained how to find the de~Rham decomposition of a Riemannian manifold and the Wu decomposition of a Lorentzian manifold. For that it is enough to find parallel symmetric bilinear forms on the manifold, and do some linear algebra. |
In this paper we define the class of constant affine mean curvature (CAMC) discrete asymptotic nets, which contains the well-known classes of affine spheres and affine minimal asymptotic nets. This class is defined by considering fields of compatible interpolating quadrics, i.e., quadrics that have common tangent plan... |
We show that non-collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits of polarized Kahler manifolds, with Ricci curvature bounded below, are normal projective varieties, and the metric singularities of the limit space are precisely given by a countable union of analytic subvarieties. This extends a fundamental result of Donaldson-Sun, i... |
In this paper we consider a perturbation of the Ricci solitons equation proposed in \cite{jpb1} and studied in \cite{CaMa} and we classify noncompact gradient shrinkers with bounded nonnegative sectional curvature. |
Zakalyukin's lemma asserts that the coincidence of the images of two wave front germs implies the right equivalence of corresponding map germs under a certain genericity assumption. The purpose of this paper is to give an improvement of this lemma for frontals. |
Let $(M,F)$ be a connected Finsler space and $d$ the distance function of $(M,F)$. A Clifford translation is an isometry $\rho$ of $(M,F)$ of constant displacement, in other words such that $d(x,\rho(x))$ is a constant function on $M$. |
We express two CR invariant surface area elements in terms of quantities in pseudohermitian geometry. We deduce the Euler-Lagrange equations of the associated energy functionals. |
A description of the fundamental degrees of freedom underlying generalized Kähler geometry, which separates its holomorphic moduli from its compatible Riemannian metric in a similar way to the Kähler case, has been sought since its discovery in 1984. In this paper, we describe a full solution to this problem for arbit... |
This work is a sequel to our previous monograph <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.15789" data-arxiv-id="2010.15789" class="link-https">arXiv:2010.15789</a> (to appear in AMS Memoirs), where we initiated our program to prove that the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality holds for closed, symplectic four-manifolds and, mor... |
A generalized Calabi-Yau structure is a geometrical structure on a manifold which generalizes both the concept of the Calabi-Yau structure and that of the symplectic one. In view of a result of Lin and Tolman in generalized complex cases, we introduce in this paper the notion of a generalized moment map for a compact ... |
These notes arose from a mini lecture series the author gave at the Early Career Researchers Workshop on Geometric Analysis and PDEs, held in January 2020 at the Matrix institute of the University of Melbourne. We discussed some classical aspects of expanding curvature flows and obtained first applications. |
By a special symplectic connection we mean a torsion free connection which is either the Levi-Civita connection of a Bochner-Kähler metric of arbitrary signature, a Bochner-bi-Lagrangian connection, a connection of Ricci type or a connection with special symplectic holonomy. A manifold or orbifold with such a connecti... |
On 5-dimensional almost contact B-metric manifolds, the form of any Kähler-type tensor (i.e. a tensor satisfying the properties of the curvature tensor of the Levi-Civita connection in the special class of the parallel structures on the manifold) is determined. The associated 1-forms are derived by the scalar curvatur... |
In this paper, we continue studying the 6-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space V^6(g_{ij}) with signature [++--], which admits projective motions, i. e. |
A spacetime denotes a pure radiation field if its energy momentum tensor represents a situation in which all the energy is transported in one direction with the speed of light. In 1989, Wils and later in 1997 Ludwig and Edgar studied the physical properties of pure radiation metrics, which are conformally related to a... |
We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator in the case when the potential is strongly convex. In particular, if the Hessian of the potential is bounded from below by a positive constant, the gap has a lower bound independent of the dimension. |
Fraser-Sargent surfaces are free boundary minimal surfaces in the four-dimensional unit Euclidean ball. Extended infinitely they define immersed minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space. |
Let $\Sigma$ be a codimension one submanifold of an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $n\geqslant 2$. We give a necessary condition for an isometric immersion of $\Sigma$ into $\mathbb R^q$ equipped with the standard Euclidean metric, $q\geqslant n+1$, to be locally isometrically $C^1$-extendable to $M$. |
We construct a canonical noncommutative spectral triple for every oriented closed Riemannian manifold, which represents the fundamental class in the twisted K-homology of the manifold. This so-called "projective spectral triple" is Morita equivalent to the well-known commutative spin spectral triple provided t... |
We prove a uniform local non-collapsing volume estimate for a large family of Kähler metrics in the big cohomology classes. The key ingredient is a generalization of a mixed energy estimate for functions in the complex Sobolev space to the setting of big cohomology classes. |
Let M be a closed 3-manifold which can be triangulated with N simplices. We prove that any map from M to a genus 2 surface has Hopf invariant at most C^N. |
This short paper is based on the talk of the second author given at the 2005 Hayama Symposium on Complex Analysis in Several Variables. The recent results of the authors on the spectrum of quantum tubes are summarized. |
We consider Riemannian 4-manifolds $(X,g_X)$ with a Spin^c-structure and a suitable circle bundle $Y$ over $X$ such that the Spin^c-structure on $X$ lifts to a spin structure on $Y$. With respect to these structures a spinor $\phi$ on $X$ lifts to an untwisted spinor $\psi$ on $Y$ and a U(1)-gauge field $A$ for the Sp... |
Over forty years ago, Paneitz, and independently Fradkin and Tseytlin, discovered a fourth-order conformally-invariant differential operator, intrinsically defined on a conformal manifold, mapping scalars to scalars. This operator is a special case of the so-termed extrinsic Paneitz operator defined in the case when t... |
The purpose of this paper is to study transport equations on the unit tangent bundle of closed oriented Riemannian surfaces and to connect these to the transport twistor space of the surface (a complex surface naturally tailored to the geodesic vector field). We show that fibrewise holomorphic distributions invariant ... |
This paper is devoted to Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace of the space of abstract boundary values. |
It is well known that functions in involution with respect to Poisson brackets have a privileged role in the theory of completely integrable systems. Finding functionally independent functions in involution with a given function $h$ on a Poisson manifold is a fundamental problem of this theory and is very useful for t... |
We study $n$ dimensional Riemanniann manifolds with harmonic forms of constant length and first Betti number equal to $n-1$ showing that they are 2-steps nilmanifolds with some special metrics. We also characterise, in terms of properties on the product of harmonic forms, the left invariant metrics among them. |
If $W_+$ denotes the self dual part of the Weyl tensor of any Kähler 4-manifold and $S$ its scalar curvature, then the relation $|W_+|^2 = S^2/6$ is well-known. For any almost Kähler 4-manifold with $S \ge 0$, this condition forces the Kähler property. |
It is demonstrated that point symmetry algebras of general analytic second order ODEs, not necessary of principal type, can have all dimensions between 0 and 8 except for 7. For the symmetry dimension 8 the ODE must be locally trivializable. |
It has been proved that there are no real hypersurfaces satisfying RA = 0 in non-flat complex space forms. In this paper we prove that the same is true in the case of CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension, that is there are no CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension satisfying RA = 0 in non-flat complex space forms. |
In 2014, Gromov vaguely conjectured that a sequence of manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature should have a subsequence which converges in some weak sense to a limit space with some generalized notion of nonnegative scalar curvature. The conjecture has been made precise at an IAS Emerging Topics meeting: requirin... |
We introduce the concept of a higher algebroid, generalizing the notions of an algebroid and a higher tangent bundle. Our ideas are based on a description of (Lie) algebroids as vector bundle comorphisms - differential relations of a special kind. |
In this paper we summarize our recent work in the construction of Lagrangian torus fibrations for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties and the symplectic Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture, together with some new development. It is submittded to the Proceedings of the Conference in Symplectic Geometry and Mirror ... |
In this paper we use min-max theory to study the existence free boundary minimal hypersurfaces (FBMHs) in compact manifolds with boundary $(M^{n+1}, \partial M, g)$, where $2\leq n\leq 6$. Under the assumption that $g$ is a local maximizer of the width of $M$ in its comformal class, and all embedded FBMHs in $M$ are p... |
We provide a proof of effective uniformization for nearly round 2-spheres, utilizing an identity related to the third-order differential of the conformal factor. This identity is connected to the geometry of the embedded spacelike surface within the Minkowski lightcone. |
In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the first eigenvalue to some kinds of the eigenvalue problems for Bi-drifted Laplacian operator on compact manifolds (also called a smooth metric measure space) with boundary and $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature or Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature bounded below. We also address the ... |
In this paper, we apply various methods to establish the uniqueness of solutions to some classes of anisotropic and isotropic curvature problems. Firstly, by employing integral formulas derived by S. S. Chern \cite{Ch59}, we obtain the uniqueness of smooth admissible solutions to a class of Orlicz-(Christoffel)-Minkow... |
