Paper proves inequalities for forms on sub-Riemannian manifolds.

We give upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the differential form Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. The proof uses Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below. We also construct differential form Laplacians on Alexandrov spaces. Under a local biLipschitz assumption on the Alexandrov space, which is conjectu…

Poincar{é} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on any bounded geometry contact manifold.

A new method defines bounded cohomology classes from differential forms.

We give some sharp lower bounds of the first eigenvalue for the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms on the boundary of a Riemannian manifold. We also give some sharp estimates for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue for differential forms.

We study the bounded fundamental class in the top dimensional bounded cohomology of negatively curved manifolds with infinite volume. We prove that the bounded fundamental class of $M$ vanishes if $M$ is geometrically finite. Furthermore, when $M$ is a $\mathbb{R}$-rank one locally symmetric space, we show that the bou…

We prove that on a Riemannian manifold, a smooth differential form has a primitive with a given (functional) upper bound provided the necessary weighted isoperimetric inequalities implied by Stokes are satisfied. We apply this to prove a comparison predicted by Gromov between the cofilling function and the filling area…

Study $L^p$ boundedness of Riesz transform on differential forms for certain manifolds.

We discuss a general technique that can be used to form a differentiable bound on the optima of non-differentiable or discrete objective functions. We form a unified description of these methods and consider under which circumstances the bound is concave. In particular we consider two concrete applications of the metho…

Uniform bounds for eigenvalues of Hodge Laplacian on manifolds with lower Ricci curvature.

We derive a Reilly-type formula for differential p-forms on a compact manifold with boundary and apply it to give a sharp lower bound of the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms of an embedded hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold. The equality case of our inequality gives rise to a number of ri…

We analyze the limit of the p-form Laplacian under a collapse, with bounded sectional curvature and bounded diameter, to a smooth limit space. As an application, we characterize when the p-form Laplacian has small positive eigenvalues in a collapsing sequence.

We consider generalized linear transient convection-diffusion problems for differential forms on bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. These involve Lie derivatives with respect to a prescribed smooth vector field. We construct both new Eulerian and semi-Lagrangian approaches to the discretization of the Lie derivatives…

In this paper, which is a sequel to math.DG/9902111, we analyze the limit of the p-form Laplacian under a collapse with bounded sectional curvature and bounded diameter to a singular limit space. As applications, we give results about upper and lower bounds on the j-th eigenvalue of the p-form Laplacian, in terms of se…

Characterizes when differential forms have weak exterior derivatives based on limiting behavior of integration over simplices.

Differential privacy is a cryptographically-motivated definition of privacy which has gained significant attention over the past few years. Differentially private solutions enforce privacy by adding random noise to a function computed over the data, and the challenge in designing such algorithms is to control the added…

We prove a Feynman-Kac formula for differential forms satisfying absolute boundary conditions on Riemannian manifolds with boundary and of bounded geometry. We use this to construct $L^2$ harmonic forms out of bounded ones on the universal cover of a compact Riemannian manifold whose geometry displays a positivity prop…

Extends unique continuation theorem to manifolds with boundary, proving zero set codimension.

We give a lower bound for the bottom of the $L^2$ differential form spectrum on hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing thus a well-known result due to Sullivan and Corlette in the function case. Our method is based on the study of the resolvent associated with the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian and leads to applications for the (…

We develop a general framework on Dirichlet spaces to prove a weak form of the Bakry-Émery estimate and study its consequences. This estimate may be satisfied in situations, like metric graphs, where generalized notions of Ricci curvature lower bounds are not available.

Conformal Killing forms are a natural generalization of conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. They are defined as sections in the kernel of a conformally invariant first order differential operator. We show the existence of conformal Killing forms on nearly Kaehler and weak G_2-manifolds. Moreover, we give a…

For a noncollapsed Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence of Riemannian manifolds with a uniform bound of Ricci curvature, we establish two spectral convergence. One of them is on the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential one-forms. The other is on the connection Laplacian acting on tensor fields of every type, which in…

A symplectic form is called hyperbolic if its pull-back to the universal cover is a differential of a bounded one-form. The present paper is concerned with the properties and constructions of manifolds admitting hyperbolic symplectic forms. The main results are: * If a symplectic form represents a bounded cohomology cl…

We define local Hardy spaces of differential forms $h^p_{\mathcal D}(\wedge T^*M)$ for all $p\in[1,\infty]$ that are adapted to a class of first order differential operators $\mathcal D$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with at most exponential volume growth. In particular, if $D$ is the Hodge--Dirac operator on $…

The closure conditions of the inexact exterior differential form and dual form (an equality to zero of differentials of these forms) can be treated as a definition of some differential-geometrical structure. Such a connection discloses the properties and specific features of the differential-geometrical structures. The…

We establish a method for giving lower bounds for the fundamental tone of elliptic operators in divergence form in terms of the divergence of vector fields. We then apply this method to the $L_{r}$ operator associated to immersed hypersurfaces with locally bounded $(r+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{r+1}$ of the space forms …
