Classifies braid elements in elliptic fibrations up to conjugacy.

The heat coefficients related to the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on the hyperbolic compact manifold $H^3/\Ga$ are evaluated in the case in which the discrete group $\Ga$ contains elliptic and hyperbolic elements. It is shown that while hyperbolic elements give only exponentially vanishing corrections to the trace…

In previous papers (arxiv:math/0612370 and arxiv:0909.1342) we defined the C*-algebra and the longitudinal pseudodifferential calculus of any singular foliation (M,F). Here we construct the analytic index of an elliptic operator as a KK-theory element, and prove that the same element can be obtained from an "adiabatic …

Rust library solves complex equations on abstract simplicial complexes.

We give sufficient conditions for some underdetermined elliptic PDE of any order to construct smooth compactly supported solutions. In particular we show that two smooth elements in the kernel of certain underdetermined linear elliptic operators $P$ can be glued in a chosen region in order to obtain a new smooth soluti…

Infinite order elements found in symplectic mapping class groups.

Study classifies 4 types of 2-fold symmetric complex hyperbolic triangle groups.

We consider non-elementary Kleinian groups Γ, without invariant plane, generated by an elliptic and a hyperbolic element with their axes lying in one plane. We find presentations and a complete list of orbifolds uniformized by such Γ.

We discuss the equivalence between the categories of certain ribbon graphs and subgroups of the modular group $Γ$ and use it to construct exponentially large families of not Hurwitz equivalent simple braid monodromy factorizations of the same element. As an application, we also obtain exponentially large families of {\…

The paper calculates the full asymptotics of analytic torsions for compact orbifolds.

We prove that a Kleinian group $G$ acting upon $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ admits a non-constant $G$-automorphic function, even if it has torsion elements, provided that the orders of the elliptic (torsion) elements are uniformly bounded. This is accomplished by developing a technique for mashing distinct fat triangulations while…

Study character varieties for 3-punctured sphere group representations in PU(2,1).

In this article we obtain a result about the uniqueness of factorization in terms of conjugates of the matrix $U=(\xymatrix{1 & 1 0 & 1})$, of some matrices representing the conjugacy classes of those elements of $SL(2,Z)$ arising as the monodromy around a singular fiber in an elliptic fibration (i.e. those matrices th…

We show that the existence of a Fredholm element of the zero calculus of pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary with a given elliptic symbol is determined, up to stability, by the vanishing of the Atiyah-Bott obstruction. It follows that, up to small deformations and stability, the same symbol…

The paper classifies structures on complex flag manifolds and provides examples.

For a $C^*$-algebra $A$ of compact operators and a compact manifold $M,$ we prove that the Hodge theory holds for $A$-elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators acting on smooth sections of finitely generated projective $A$-Hilbert bundles over $M.$ For these $C^*$-algebras, we get also a topological isomorphis…

We define analytic torsion of Z_2-graded elliptic complexes as an element in the graded determinant line of the cohomology of the complex, generalizing most of the variants of Ray-Singer analytic torsion in the literature. It applies to a myriad of new examples, including flat superconnection complexes, twisted analyti…

The ellipticity graph of a free group $F$ was defined by I. Kapovich and M. Lustig in order to study the outer automorphism group of $F$, which acts on this graph. The graph was constructed to be analogous to the curve complex of a surface. It is a bipartite graph, whose vertices are conjugacy classes of nontrivial ele…

The general theory of boundary value problems for linear elliptic wedge operators (on smooth manifolds with boundary) leads naturally, even in the scalar case, to the need to consider vector bundles over the boundary together with general smooth fiberwise multiplicative group actions. These actions, essentially trivial…

The paper conjectures and proves fixed points for certain group actions on nonpositively curved spaces.

We will first clarify the loop group formulations for both hyperbolic and elliptic definite affine spheres in R^3. Then we classify the rational elements with 3 poles or 6 poles in a real twisted loop group, and compute dressing actions of them on such surfaces. Some new examples with pictures will be produced at last.

Let $M$ be a connected, noncompact, complete Riemannian manifold, consider the operator $L=\DD +\nn V$ for some $V\in C^2(M)$ with $\exp[V]$ integrable w.r.t. the Riemannian volume element. This paper studies the existence of the spectral gap of $L$. As a consequence of the main result, let $\rr$ be the distance functi…

Proves an index theorem for proper group actions on manifolds.

We define a class of boundary value problems on manifolds with fibered boundary. This class is in a certain sense a deformation between the classical boundary value problems and the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer problems in subspaces. The boundary conditions in this theory are taken as elements of the C^*-algebra generated by p…

Study of Horn's problem in PU(n,1) for n≥1.

Let $\Y$ be a smooth connected manifold, $Σ\subset\C$ an open set and $(σ,y)\to\scrP_y(σ)$ a family of unbounded Fredholm operators $D\subset H_1\to H_2$ of index 0 depending smoothly on $(y,σ)\in \Y\times Σ$ and holomorphically on $σ$. We show how to associate to $\scrP$, under mild hypotheses, a smooth vector bundle …

The paper develops Morse homology for a class of elliptic partial differential equations.

We study elliptic theory on manifolds with boundary represented as a covering space. Firstly, we consider boundary value problems, where the boundary conditions are allowed to mix the values of functions in the fibers of the covering. We show that elliptic elements define Fredholm operators and prove an index formula. …

The paper provides coordinates for ${ m SL}_3$-web diagrams on surfaces.

We study the action of the elements of the mapping class group of a surface of finite type on the Teichmüller space of that surface equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. We classify such actions as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and pseudo-hyperbolic, depending on whether the translation distance of such an elem…

The Margulis invariant is a function defined on a group of Lorentzian transformations $G$ acting on Minkowski space $\R^{2,1}$, that contains no elliptic elements. The spectrum of $G$ is the sequence of values of the Margulis invariant for all its elements. If the underlying linear group of $G$ is fixed, Drumm and Gold…

Study homeomorphisms on fine curve graph of surfaces, revealing new types of dynamics.

We revisit the cohomological index theorem for elliptic elements in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie groupoid previously proved by the authors. We prove a Thom isomorphism for Lie algebroids which enables us to rewrite the "topological side" of the index theorem. This results in index formulae for Lie groupoid…

We consider the following question: Which parameters in the extension of a rational pleating ray across the boundary of $\Cal M$, the Maskit embedding of the Teichmüller space of once punctured tori correspond to a Kleinian group? Using methods of Keen and Series and Wright we prove a local result, stating that on each…
