Upper bounds on Betti numbers via curvature constraints.

Study pinched submanifolds, proving homology vanishing results.

We find some integral formulas of Simons and Bochner type and use them to study biharmonic and biconservative submanifolds in space forms. We obtain rigidity results that in the biharmonic case represent partial answers to two well-known conjectures on such submanifolds in spheres.

The very definition of an Einstein metric implies that all its geometry is encoded in the Weyl tensor. With this in mind, in this paper we derive higher-order Bochner type formulas for the Weyl tensor on a four dimensional Einstein manifold. In particular, we prove a second Bochner type formula which, formally, extends…

Study on smoothness of solutions to nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds.

Study pseudoholomorphic maps using canonical connection.

In this article, we generalize the classical Bochner-Weitzenböck theorem for manifolds satisfying an integral pinching on the curvature. We obtain the vanishing of Betti numbers under integral pinching assumptions on the curvature, and characterize the equality case. In particular, we reprove and extend to higher degre…

Contact Riemannian manifolds, with not necessarily integrable complex structures, are the generalization of pseudohermitian manifolds in CR geometry. The Tanaka-Webster-Tanno connection on such a manifold plays the role of Tanaka-Webster connection in the pseudohermitian case. We prove the contact Riemannian version of…

Walczak formula is a very nice tool for understanding the geometry of a Riemannian manifold equipped with two orthogonal complementary distributions. Svensson [7] has shown that this formula simplifies to a Bochner type formula when we are dealing with Kähler manifolds and holomorphic (integrable) distributions. Here, …

Study extends neural network approximation to time-varying PDEs using Fourier-Lebesgue spaces.

In a previous paper, we proved a number of optimal rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds of dimension greater than four whose curvature satisfy an integral pinching. In this article, we use the same integral Bochner technique to extend the results in dimension three. Then, by using the classification of closed thre…

A Kahler metric is said to be Bochner-Kahler if its Bochner curvature vanishes. This is a nontrivial condition when the complex dimension of the underlying manifold is at least 2. In this article it will be shown that, in a certain well-defined sense, the space of Bochner-Kahler metrics in complex dimension n has real …

In this paper, we derive some $\partial\overline{\partial}$-Bochner formulas for holomorphic maps between Hermitian manifolds. As applications, we prove some Schwarz lemma type estimates, rigidity and degeneracy theorems. For instance, we show that there is no non-constant holomorphic map from a comapct Hermitian manif…

Introduces a universal Bochner formula for scalar curvature.

We derive point-wise and integral rigidity/gap results for a closed manifold with harmonic Weyl curvature in any dimension. In particular, there is a generalization of Tachibana's theorem for non-negative curvature operator. The key ingredients are new Bochner-Weitzenböck-Lichnerowicz type formulas for the Weyl tensor,…

New rigidity results for tensors on non-compact manifolds with curvature conditions.

Study harmonic mappings and submanifolds using Bochner technique.

Functions of several octonion variables are investigated and integral representation theorems for them are proved. With the help of them solutions of the ${\tilde {\partial}}$-equations are studied. More generally functions of several Cayley-Dickson variables are considered. Integral formulas of the Martinelli-Bochner,…

Establishing Hom-versions of Bochner theorems in pseudo-Riemannian Hom-Lie algebras

The Bochner tensor is the Kähler analogue of the conformal Weyl tensor. In this article, we derive local (i.e., in a neighbourhood of almost every point) normal forms for a (pseudo-)Kähler manifold with vanishing Bochner tensor. The description is pined down to a new class of symmetric spaces which we describe in terms…

We apply the results from the article Cahen, Schwachhöfer: Special symplectic connections, to the case of Bochner-Kaehler metrics. We obtain a (local) classification of these based on the orbit types of the adjoint action in $su(n,1)$. The relation between Sasaki and Bochner-Kaehler metrics in cone and transveral metri…

We prove that the normal metric contact pairs with orthogonal characteristic foliations, which are either Bochner flat or locally conformally flat, are locally isometric to the Hopf manifolds. As a corollary we obtain the classification of locally conformally flat and Bochner-flat non-Kähler Vaisman manifolds.

New Bochner technique for foliations with non-negative Ricci curvature.

In this article, we introduce a $2$-parameter family of affine connections and derive the Ricci curvature. We first establish an integral Bochner technique. On one hand, this technique yields a new proof to our recent work in \cite{LX} for substatic manifolds. On the other hand, this technique leads to various geometri…

We generalize the classical Bochner formula for the heat flow on evolving manifolds $(M,g_{t})_{t \in [0,T]}$ to an infinite-dimensional Bochner formula for martingales on parabolic path space $P\mathcal{M}$ of space-time $\mathcal{M} = M \times [0,T]$. Our new Bochner formula and the inequalities that follow from it a…

Study of Riemann solitons and $η$-hyperbolic Ricci solitons on Bochner-flat Lorentzian Kähler spacetime manifolds.

The paper extends Bochner's technique to singular distributions on manifolds.

B. Y. Chen established sharp inequalities between certain Riemannian invariants and the squared mean curvature for submanifolds in real space form as well as in complex space form. In this paper we generalize Chen inequalities for submanifolds of Bochner Kaehler manifolds. Moreover, we consider CR-warped product subman…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which the complex coordinates on a flag manifold of a classical group described in [2] are Bochner coordinates.

We obtain a classification theorem for non Kaehler nearly Kaehler manifolds with vanishing Bochner curvature tensor (introduced by Tricerri and Vanhecke).

We show that there exists an integrable function on the $n$-sphere $(n\ge 2)$, whose Cesàro (C,$\frac{n-1}{2}$) means with respect to the spherical harmonic expansion diverge unboundedly almost everywhere. By studying equivalence theorems, we also obtain the corresponding results for Riesz and Bochner-Riesz means. This…

In this paper, we prove that complete gradient steady Kähler-Ricci solitons with harmonic Bochner tensor are necessarily Kähler-Ricci flat, i.e., Calabi-Yau, and that complete gradient shrinking (or expanding) Kähler-Ricci solitons with harmonic Bochner tensor must be isometric to a quotient of $N^k\times \mathbb{C}^{n…

We generalize the classical Bochner formula for the heat flow on M to martingales on the path space PM, and develop a formalism to compute evolution equations for martingales on path space. We see that our Bochner formula on PM is related to two sided bounds on Ricci curvature in much the same manner that the classical…

We generalize the results of Montgomery for the Bochner Laplacian on high tensor powers of a line bundle. When specialized to Riemann surfaces, this leads to the Bergman kernel expansion and geometric quantization results for semi-positive line bundles whose curvature vanishes at finite order. The proof exploits the re…

We discuss algebraic properties for the symbols of geometric first order differential operators on almost Hermitian manifolds and Kähler manifolds. Through study on the universal enveloping algebra and higher Casimir elements, we know algebraic relations for the symbols like the Clifford algebra. From the relations, we…

The paper derives inequalities and formulas for generalized Ricci flow.

We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those generalised Kahler cones which are Bochner-flat and we study their local geometry. We prov…

The following result is proved: Consider a 4-dimensional Kaehler manifold M with nonvanishing Bochner tensor B. Then any holomorphic transformation of M, which preserves B is a homothety.

The main purpose of this article is to prove that there exist no proper $AK_3$-manifold of dimension $2n\ge 6$ with vanishing Tricerri-Vanhecke Bochner curvature tensor and constant scalar curvature.
