New insights into gravitational waves and Riemann/Weyl operators using computer algebra.

Compatible tensors form a special Jordan algebra.

We study the spectral geometric properties of the scalar Laplace-Beltrami operator associated to the Weil-Petersson metric $g_{\mathrm{WP}}$ on $\mathcal M_γ$, the Riemann moduli space of surfaces of genus $γ> 1$. This space has a singular compactification with respect to $g_{\mathrm{WP}}$, and this metric has crossing…

The paper examines Yamabe flow on modified Riemann extensions and curvature tensors.

We introduce a weighted de Rham operator which acts on arbitrary tensor fields by considering their structure as r-fold forms. We can thereby define associated superpotentials for all tensor fields in all dimensions and, from any of these superpotentials, we deduce in a straightforward and natural manner the existence …

Krein's formula for conic Laplacians on compact Riemann surfaces

We introduce a natural extension of the metric tensor and the Hodge star operator to the algebra of double forms to study some aspects of the structure of this algebra. These properties are then used to study new Riemannian curvature invariants, called the $(p,q)$-curvatures. They are a generalization of the $p$-curvat…

Derdzinski and Shen's theorem on the restrictions posed by a Codazzi tensor on the Riemann tensor holds more generally when a Riemann-compatible tensor exists. Several properties are shown to remain valid in this broader setting. Riemann compatibility is equivalent to the Bianchi identity of the new "Codazzi deviation …

The purpose of this paper is to revisit the Bianchi identities existing for the Riemann and Weyl tensors in the combined framework of the formal theory of systems of partial differential equations (Spencer cohomology, differential systems, formal integrability) and Algebraic Analysis (homological algebra, differential …

The study finds obstructions for certain Weyl curvature tensors on manifolds.

Researchers decompose curvature to confirm Hopf conjecture and prove new rigidity theorems.

We show that a metric of arbitrary dimension and signature which allows for a standard Wick-rotation to a Riemannian metric necessarily has a purely electric Riemann and Weyl tensor.

We prove new lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on compact manifolds whose Weyl tensor or curvature tensor, respectively, is divergence free. In the special case of Einstein manifolds, we obtain estimates depending on the Weyl tensor.

Researchers prove Weyl laws for Schrödinger operators on noncompact manifolds.

We prove theorems about the Ricci and the Weyl tensors on generalized Robertson-Walker space-times of dimension $n\ge 3$. In particular, we show that the concircular vector introduced by Chen decomposes the Ricci tensor as a perfect fluid term plus a term linear in the contracted Weyl tensor. The Weyl tensor is harmoni…

First an `irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence' is established for meromorphic connections on principal G-bundles over a disc, where G is any connected complex reductive group. Secondly, in the case of poles of order two, isomonodromic deformations of such connections are considered and it is proved that the classi…

Develops geometric Weyl calculus for curved spacetimes.

Introduces a new tensor for electrostatic systems in arbitrary dimensions.

New criterion for Weyl law on Riemannian manifolds without standard assumptions.

We show that the Weyl structure of an almost-Hermitian Weyl manifold of dimension at least 6 is trivial if the associated curvature operator satisfies the Kaehler identity. Similarly if the curvature of an almost para-Hermitian Weyl manifold of dimension at least 6 satisfies the para-Kaehler identity, then the Weyl str…

Proves Kähler-Einstein property for certain Einstein 4-manifolds.

We study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit spacelike or timelike tangent vectors. This leads to questions in the conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which generalize the Osserman conjecture to this setting. We also stu…

Characterizes Spinor groups using cohomology operations.

We prove that a four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with $δW^{\pm}=0$ is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of $S^3\times\mathbb{R}$, $S^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$. We also prove that a four-dimensional cscK gradient Ricci soliton is either Kähler-Einstein, or a finite quotient of $M\times\…

A new Weyl prior is proposed for Bayesian statistics, offering a more canonical choice for parameter α.

We define a new theory of discrete Riemann surfaces and present its basic results. The key idea is to consider not only a cellular decomposition of a surface, but the union with its dual. Discrete holomorphy is defined by a straightforward discretisation of the Cauchy-Riemann equation. A lot of classical results in Rie…

The curvature properties of Robinson-Trautman metric have been investigated. It is shown that Robinson-Trautman metric admits several kinds of pseudosymmetric type structures such as Weyl pseudosymmetric, Ricci pseudosymmetric, pseudosymmetric Weyl conformal curvature tensor etc. Also it is shown that the difference $R…

The paper extends Weyl formulae for Schrödinger operators with singular potentials.

We prove an off-diagonal expansion for a Toeplitz operator with an indicator function.

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,…

Study of quantum aspects of generalized Gross-Neveu models, focusing on sigma models.

The paper studies chambered invariants of real Cauchy-Riemann operators on Riemann surfaces.

The present paper considers if the new proposed conformal geometrodynamics (CGD) can extend the Nature features compared with general theory of relativity (GTR). The answer for this question can be connected with unique phenomenon arising from Riemann space transition used in GTR, to Weyl space used in CGD. We have in …

Complex analysis techniques link Gaussian RBF kernels to quantum mechanics.

We prove the analogue of the Riemann-Roch formula for the noncommutative two torus $A_θ = C(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$ equipped with an arbitrary translation invariant complex structure and a Weyl factor represented by a positive element $k\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$. We consider a topologically trivial line bundle equipped…

Study real slices of SL(r,C)-opers via Riemann surface involution.

In this paper we study the long time existence of the Ricci-harmonic flow in terms of scalar curvature and Weyl tensor which extends Cao's result \cite{Cao2011} in the Ricci flow. In dimension four, we also study the integral bound of the "Riemann curvature" for the Ricci-harmonic flow generalizing a recently result of…

The article defines conditions for a manifold to be conformal to an Einstein space.

Study Schiffer operators on Riemann surfaces, linking conformal and topological invariants.

On any manifold, any non-degenerate symmetric 2-form (metric) and any skew-symmetric (differential) form W can be reduced to a canonical form at any point, but not in any neighborhood: the respective obstructions being the Riemannian tensor and dW. The obstructions to flatness (to reducibility to a canonical form) are …

Real slices of parabolic opers on Riemann surfaces are studied.

New tensors reveal full curvature structure from Riemann tensor.

Scattering theory for harmonic one-forms on Riemann surfaces.

The study of the spectrum of the Laplacian on forms over manifolds.

In this paper the Weyl tensor is used to define operators that act on the space of forms. These operators are shown to have interesting properties and are used to classify the Weyl tensor, the well known Petrov classification emerging as a special case. Particularly, in the Euclidean signature this classification turns…
