Existence of double bubbles with high constant mean curvatures in Riemannian manifolds.
problem Existence of double bubbles with high constant mean curvatures in Riemannian manifolds.
method Perturbations of geodesic standard double bubbles centered at critical points of the ambient scalar curvature and aligned along eigen-vectors of the ambient Ricci tensor, with general multiplicity results via Lusternik-Schnirelman theory.
result Existence of double bubbles with high constant mean curvatures in Riemannian manifolds.
We define \textit{graded manifolds} as a version of supermanifolds endowed with an additional Z-grading in the structure sheaf, called \textit{weight} (not linked with parity). Examples are ordinary supermanifolds, vector bundles over supermanifolds, double vector bundles, iterated constructions like TTM, e…
For compact real manifolds, a new double conformal invariant is constructed using the Wodzicki residue and the d operator in the framework of Connes. In the flat case, we compute this double conformal invariant, and in some special cases, we also compute this double conformal invariants. For complex manifolds, a new …
We show how the double vector bundle structure of the manifold of double velocities, with its submanifolds of holonomic and semiholonomic double velocities, is mirrored by a structure of holonomic and semiholonomic subgroups in the principal prolongation of the first jet group. We use the actions of these groups to con…
In a previous paper, we have shown that the geometry of double field theory has a natural interpretation on flat para-Kähler manifolds. In this paper, we show that the same geometric constructions can be made on any para-Hermitian manifold. The field is interpreted as a compatible (pseudo-)Riemannian metric. The tangen…
This text is meant to be a brief overview of the topics announced in the title and is based on my talk in Vienna (August/September 2007). It does not contain new results (except probably for a remark concerning Q-manifold homology, which I wish to elaborate elsewhere). "Mackenzie theory" stands for the rich circle of n…
The paper extends Hodge-de Rham and Lichnérowicz Laplacians to double forms and proves vanishing theorems.
problem Extending Laplacians to double forms and proving vanishing theorems.
method Introduced a new product on double forms to establish index-free formulas for curvature terms in Weitzenböck formulas for Δ, Δ, and ΔL. Proved vanishing theorems for Δ and ΔL on symmetric double forms.
result Vanishing theorems for the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian and ΔL on symmetric double forms.
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation and basic examples come from Analytical Mechanics, where double affine bundles hav…
We consider a homology sphere Mn(K1,K2) presented by two knots K1,K2 with linking number 1 and framing (0,n). We call the manifold {\it Matsumoto's manifold}. We show that there exists no contractible bound of Mn(T2,3,K2) if n<2τ(K2) holds. We also give a formula of Ozsváth-Szabó's τ-invariant as…
The tetrus is a sort of big brother to the tripus, W.P. Thurston's example of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We describe a sixfold cover of the double of the tetrus, itself a double, which fibers over the circle with fiber a closed surface of genus 19. We also record arithmeticity of th…
Motivated by the celebrated Schoen-Yau-Gromov-Lawson surgery theory on metrics of positive scalar curvature, we construct a double manifold associated with a minimal isoparametric hypersurface in the unit sphere. The resulting double manifold carries a metric of positive scalar curvature and an isoparametric foliation …
The double tetrahedron is the triangulation of the three-sphere gotten by gluing together two congruent tetrahedra along their boundaries. As a piecewise flat manifold, its geometry is determined by its six edge lengths, giving a notion of a metric on the double tetrahedron. We study notions of Einstein metrics, consta…
Double field theory was developed by theoretical physicists as a way to encompass T-duality. In this paper, we express the basic notions of the theory in differential-geometric invariant terms, in the framework of para-Kaehler manifolds. We define metric algebroids, which are vector bundles with a bracket of cross se…
We define an abstract notion of double Lie algebroid, which includes as particular cases: (1) the double Lie algebroid of a double Lie groupoid in the sense of the author, such as the iterated tangent bundle of an ordinary manifold, and various iterated tangent/cotangent constructions in symplectic and Poisson geometry…
We introduce a new operation, double point surgery, on immersed surfaces in a 4-manifold, and use it to construct knotted configurations of surfaces in many 4-manifolds. Taking branched covers, we produce smoothly exotic actions of Z/m x Z/n on simply connected 4-manifolds with complicated fixed-point sets.
