Paper constructs an invariant for a specific type of complex manifolds.

The harmonic volume is a complex analytic invariant that captures detailed complex structure information.

Analytic realization of Thom-Smale complex for G-manifolds.

It is a classical result that any complex analytic Lie supergroup $\mathcal{G}$ is split \cite{kosz}, that is its structure sheaf is isomorphic to the structure sheaf of a certain vector bundle. However, there do exist non-split complex analytic homogeneous supermanifolds. We study the question how to find out whether …

The paper introduces a new complex analytic invariant called the pointed harmonic volume and its relation to the Johnson homomorphism.

In the spirit of Ray and Singer we define a complex valued analytic torsion using non-selfadjoint Laplacians. We establish an anomaly formula which permits to turn this into a topological invariant. Conjecturally this analytically defined invariant computes the complex valued Reidemeister torsion, including its phase. …

The paper compares two torsion invariants in complex vector bundles.

We review the Reidemeister torsion, Ray-Singer's analytic torsion and the Cheeger-M"uller theorem. We describe the analytic torsion of the de Rham complex twisted by a flux form introduced by the current authors and recall its properties. We define a new twisted analytic torsion for the complex of invariant differentia…

Explains complex analytic invariants of vector fields and foliations.

Develops Bialynicki-Birula and Morse-Bott theory for complex analytic spaces.

Study of complex surface singularities with generic analytic structure.

We deal with smooth real manifolds as well as complex analytic manifolds as well. It is well known that the concept of star product is powerful enough to produce all Poisson structures on real manifolds. According to [BdM] it is not known whether holomorphic star products exist on complex analytic manifolds. The main p…

We prove that the classical integrability condition for almost complex structures on finite-dimensional smooth manifolds also works in infinite dimensions in the case of almost complex structures that are real analytic on real analytic Banach manifolds. As an application, we extend some known results concerning existen…

In this paper we show that the Ray-Singer complex analytic torsion is trivial for even dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds. Then we define the quaternionic analytic torsion for quaternionic manifolds and prove that they are metric independent. In dimension four, the quaternionic analytic torsion equals to the self-dual an…

For an acyclic representation of the fundamental group of a compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold, which is close enough to a unitary representation, we define a refinement of the Ray-Singer torsion associated to this representation. This new invariant can be viewed as an analytic counterpart of the refined combina…

The purpose of the paper is to introduce some conjectures regarding the analytic continuation and the arithmetic properties of quantum invariants of knotted objects. More precisely, we package the perturbative and nonperturbative invariants of knots and 3-manifolds into two power series of type P and NP, convergent in …

The systems of complex analytic second order ordinary differential equations whose solutions close up to become rational curves (after analytic continuation) are characterized by the vanishing of an explicit differential invariant, and turn out to provide an infinite dimensional family of integrable systems.

We study the equivalence problem under projective transformation for CR-hypersurfaces of complex projective space. A complete set of projective differential invariants for analytic hypersurfaces is given. The self-dual strongly C-linearly convex hypersurfaces are characterized.

This is a short version of math.DG/0505537. For an acyclic representation of the fundamental group of a compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold, which is close enough to a unitary representation, we define a refinement of the Ray-Singer torsion associated to this representation. This new invariant can be viewed as an…

This paper introduces an inner product on chain complexes of finite simplicial complexes that is well-adapted to the harmonic study of subdivisions. Its definition utilizes a decomposition of the chain spaces that suggests a sequence of subdivision invariants which we show do not all vanish for non-trivial subdivisions…

Study of Hermitian metrics on Lie algebroids over complex spaces.

We propose a definition for analytic torsion of the Rumin complex on contact manifolds. This is given by the derivative at zero of a well-chosen combination of zeta functions of a fourth-order modified Rumin Laplacian. The regular value at zero (before differentiation) of this well-chosen combination of zeta functions …

Let $E$ be a flat complex vector bundle over a closed oriented odd dimensional manifold $M$ endowed with a flat connection $\nabla$. The refined analytic torsion for $(M,E)$ was defined and studied by Braverman and Kappeler. Recently Mathai and Wu defined and studied the analytic torsion for the twisted de Rham complex…

Study pseudo-holomorphic disks in real analytic hypersurfaces using exterior differential systems.

We classify four-dimensional compact solvmanifolds up to diffeomorphism, while determining which of them have complex analytic structures. In particular, we shall see that a four-dimensional compact solvmanifold S can be written, up to double covering, as G/L where G is a simply connected solvable Lie group and L is a …

Torsion invariants for manifolds which are not simply connected were introduced by K. Reidemeister and generalized to higher dimensions by W. Franz. The Reidemeister torsion, was the first invariant of manifolds which was not a homotopy invariant. The analytic counterpart of the combinatorial Reidemeister torsion was i…

Study shows indices of 1-forms on G-varieties match, revealing new Milnor number concept.

Study of twisted Ruelle zeta function on hyperbolic manifolds and its relation to analytic torsion.

The first part of this article is devoted to the study families of totally real intersecting $n$-submanifolds of $(\Bbb C^n,0)$. We give some conditions which allow to straighten holomorphically the family. If this is not possible to do it formally, we construct a germ of complex analytic set at the origin which intere…

We give series of explicit examples of Levi-nondegenerate real-analytic hypersurfaces in complex spaces that are not transversally holomorphically embeddable into hyperquadrics of any dimension. For this, we construct invariants attached to a given hypersurface that serve as obstructions to embeddability. We further st…

We study an analogue of the analytic torsion for elliptic complexes that are graded by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, orignally constructed by Mathai and Wu. Motivated by topological T-duality, Bouwknegt an Mathai study the complex of forms on an odd-dimensional manifold equipped with with the twisted differential $d_H = d+H$, where …

The abstract aims to generalize classical curve concepts to uniquely define complex curves.

Study complex structure deformations on Lie algebras and Dolbeault cohomology.

A geometric model for twisted $K$-homology is introduced. It is modeled after the Mathai-Melrose-Singer fractional analytic index theorem in the same way as the Baum-Douglas model of $K$-homology was modeled after the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. A natural transformation from twisted geometric $K$-homology to the new g…

Analytic linearization and holomorphic extensions for proper groupoids.

We derive a complete set of invariants for a formal Bishop surface near a point of complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant under the action of formal transformations. We prove that the modular space of Bishop surfaces with a vanishing Bishop invariant and with a fixed Moser invariant $s<\infty$ is of infinite…

We first describe the local and global moduli spaces of germs of foliations defined by analytic functions in two variables with p transverse smooth branches, and with integral multiplicities (in the univalued holomorphic case) or complex multiplicities (in the multivalued ''Darboux'' case). We specify normal forms in e…

We show that the refined analytic torsion is a holomorphic section of the determinant line bundle over the space of complex representations of the fundamental group of a closed oriented odd dimensional manifold. Further, we calculate the ratio of the refined analytic torsion and the Farber-Turaev combinatorial torsion.…

Analyzes K-homology classes of singular complex spaces.

We generalize the "miraculous cancellation" formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé, Witten and Kefeng Liu to a twisted version where an extra complex line bundle is involved. We also apply our result to discuss intrinsic relations between the higher dimensional Rokhlin type congruence formulas of Ochanine [O1], Finashin [F] and Zha…

We introduce slant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of slant immersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps. We give examples, obtain characterizations and investigate the harmonicity of such maps. We also obtain necessary and sufficie…

A primary goal in this paper is to study the question that asks when a real analytic submanifold $M$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}$ bounds a real analytic (up to $M$) Levi-flat hypersurface $\hat{M}$ near $p\in M$ such that $\hat{M}$ is foliated by a family of complex hypersurfaces moving along the normal direction of $M$ at …

We discuss an universal bordism invariant obtained from the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eta-invariant from the analytic and homotopy theoretic point of view. Classical invariants like the Adams e-invariant, $ρ$-invariants and $String$-bordism invariants are derived as special cases. The main results are a secondary index theo…

For any negative definite plumbed 3-manifold M we construct from its plumbed graph a graded Z[U]-module. This, for rational homology spheres, conjecturally equals the Heegaard-Floer homology of Ozsvath and Szabo, but it has even more structure. If M is a complex singularity link then the normalized Euler-characteristic…

We introduce a new homological machine for the study of secondary geometric invariants. The objects, called spark complexes, occur in many areas of mathematics. The theory is applied here to establish the equivalence of a large family of spark complexes which appear naturally in geometry, topology and physics. These co…

The delta invariant of curves on rational surfaces is calculated using embedded topological and analytic methods.

This paper announces results on the behavior of some important algebraic and topological invariants --- Euler characteristic, arithmetic genus, and their intersection homology analogues; the signature, etc. --- and their associated characteristic classes, under morphisms of projective algebraic varieties. The formulas …
