Evolutionary forms, as well as exterior forms, are skew-symmetric differential forms. But in contrast to the exterior forms, the basis of evolutionary forms is deforming manifolds (with unclosed metric forms). Such forms possess a peculiarity, namely, the closed inexact exterior forms are obtained from that. The closur…

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…

Improved bound for Gaussian mechanism in differential privacy.

We study the relation between Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of that manifold. The $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of $(M,g)$ is defined to be the quotient of the space of closed differential forms in $L^p(M)$ modulo the exact forms which are exterior diff…

We interpret tensors on a smooth manifold M as differential forms over a graded commutative algebra called the algebra of iterated differential forms over M. This allows us to put standard tensor calculus in a new differentially closed context and, in particular, enriches it with new natural operations. Applications wi…

Novel Morse theory for mapping cone cohomology.

Defines algebraic structures in Lagrangian Floer cohomology using differential forms.

we introduce a generalization of the $p$-Laplace operator to act on differential forms and generalize an estimate of Gallot-Meyer for the first nonzero eigenvalue on closed Riemannian manifolds.

A new method defines bounded cohomology classes from differential forms.

In this article we give a totally new proof of the integral localization formula for equivariantly closed differential forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]). We restate it here as Theorem 2. This localization formula is very well known, but the author hopes to adapt this proof to obtain a more general result in the future.

This work generalizes Hamiltonian mechanics using closed differential forms.

New CR invariant treatment of Rumin complex via differential forms.

A section of a Riemannian $G$-manifold $M$ is a closed submanifold $Σ$ which meets each orbit orthogonally. It is shown that the algebra of $G$-invariant differential forms on $M$ which are horizontal in the sense that they kill every vector which is tangent to some orbit, is isomorphic to the algebra of those differen…

Closed-form relations and approximations for SE(3) derivatives for robust numerical simulations.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a non-degenerate symmetric 3-differential with nonzero Blaschke curvature on a complex surface to be locally representable as a product of three closed holomorphic 1-forms. We give two versions of this condition corresponding to different choices of coordinates, one of w…

The assumption in the main result of [Peter W. Michor: Basic Differential Forms for Actions of Lie Groups, Proc. AMS 124, 5 (1996) 1633-1642] is removed. Thus: A section of a Riemannian $G$-manifold $M$ is a closed submanifold $\Si$ which meets each orbit orthogonally. It is shown that the algebra of $G$-invariant diff…

We study "higher-dimensional" generalizations of differential forms. Just as differential forms can be defined as the universal commutative differential algebra containing C^\infty(M), we can define differential gorms as the universal commutative bidifferential algebra. From a more conceptual point of view, differentia…

Study eigenvalues of a generalized p-Laplacian on forms.

Integrable flows on the Grassmannians Gr(N-1,N+1) are defined by the requirement of closedness of the differential N-1 forms $Ω_{N-1}$ of rank N-1 naturally associated with Gr(N-1,N+1). Gauge-invariant parts of these flows, given by the systems of the N-1 quasi-linear differential equations, describe coisotropic deform…

We show that the universal odd Chern form, defined on the stable unitary group $U$, extends to the loop group $LU$ in a way that is closed with respect to an equivariant-type differential. This provides an odd analogue to the Bismut-Chern form. We also describe the associated transgression form, the so-called Bismut-Ch…

We construct a versal family of deformations of CR structures in five dimensions, using a differential complex closely related to the differential form complex introduced by Rumin for contact manifolds.

Study shows exact forms in bounded cohomology are in radical of cup product.

The paper establishes conditions for harmonic forms on noncompact manifolds.

This paper generalizes Bismut's equivariant Chern character to the setting of abelian gerbes. In particular, associated to an abelian gerbe with connection, an equivariantly closed differential form is constructed on the space of maps of a torus into the manifold. These constructions are made explicit using a new local…

For a closed, spin, odd dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$, we define the rho invariant $ρ_{spin}(Y,E,H, g)$ for the twisted Dirac operator $D^E_H$ on $Y$, acting on sections of a flat hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$, where $H = \sum i^{j+1} H_{2j+1}$ is an odd-degree closed differential form on $Y$ and $H_{2…

We show that every closed L_infty,loc - form on R^n is exact. Differential is understood in the sense of currents. The proof does not use any explicit geometric constructions. De Rham theorem follows.

We prove a refined Kato inequality for closed and coclosed differential $(p,q)$ forms on a Kahler manifold.

The paper addresses the expansion of Berezinian and super exterior powers, revealing new insights into supertraces.

Derives integral formula for differential forms on compact spaces with applications.

We construct radial fundamental solutions for the differential form Laplacian on negatively curved symmetric spaces. At least one of these Green's functions also yields a Biot-Savart Opearator, i.e. a right inverse of the exterior differential on closed forms with image in the kernel of the codifferential. Any Biot-Sav…

Researchers describe a new Thom form for mapping cones.

A generalization of exterior calculus is considered by allowing the partial derivatives in the exterior derivative to assume fractional orders. That is, a fractional exterior derivative is defined. This is found to generate new vector spaces of finite and infinite dimension, fractional differential form spaces. The def…

We show that every semialgebraic set admits a semialgebraic triangulation such that each closed simplex is $C^1$ differentiable. As an application, we give a straightforward definition of the integration $\int_X ω$ over a compact semialgebraic subset $X$ of a differential form $ω$ on an ambient algebraic manifold, that…

The structure equations for a surface are introduced and two required results based on the Codazzi equations are obtained from them. Important theorems pertaining to isometric surfaces are stated and a theorem of Bonnet is obtained. A tranformation formula for the connection forms is developed. It is proved that the an…

New theorems on Hodge numbers and Kähler structures derived from complex differential forms.

For any Riemannian foliation F on a closed manifold M with an arbitrary bundle-like metric, leafwise heat flow of differential forms is proved to preserve smoothness on M at infinite time. This result and its proof have consequences about the space of bundle-like metrics on M, about the dimension of the space of leafwi…

Classifies vector fields in the kernel of a 1-form, up to equivalence.

The characteristic forms in the bundle of connections of a principal bundle P over M determine the characteristic classes of P for degree less or equal to the dimension of M, and differential forms on the space of connections for higher degree. The equivariant characteristic classes provide canonical equivariant extens…

In this paper, we first get a criterion formula for whether a differential form is holomorphic with respect to the generalized complex structure induced by $ε$. Next, we get the local extensions of $\overline\partial$-closed forms on a smooth family of compact generalized Hermitian manifolds by using this criterion. Fi…

Note on linearizing certain Nambu structures.

The theory of harmonic symmetric bilinear forms on a Riemannian manifold is an analogue of the theory of harmonic exterior differential forms on this manifold. To show this, we must consider every symmetric bilinear form on a Riemannian manifold as a one-form with values in the cotangent bundle of this manifold. In thi…

Researchers prove inequalities for differential forms in Heisenberg groups, extending Euclidean results.

We introduce the notion of a manifold admitting a simple compact Cartan 3-form $\om^3$. We study algebraic types of such manifolds specializing on those having skew-symmetric torsion, or those associated with a closed or coclosed 3-form $\om^3$. We prove the existence of an algebra of multi-symplectic forms $φ^l$ on th…

We show that Chern-Weil theory for tensor bundles over manifolds is a consequence of the existence of natural closed differential forms on total spaces of torsion free connections on frame bundles.

We study the special algebraic properties of alternating 3-forms in 6 and 7 dimensions and introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant functional on the space of differential 3-forms on a closed manifold M in these dimensions. Restricting the functional to closed forms in a fixed cohomology class, we find that a critical poin…

The purpose of this paper is to study the shapes and stabilities of bio-membranes within the framework of exterior differential forms. After a brief review of the current status in theoretical and experimental studies on the shapes of bio-membranes, a geometric scheme is proposed to discuss the shape equation of closed…
