Scattering theory for harmonic one-forms on Riemann surfaces.

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…

Classifies low-energy harmonic maps from curved surfaces to spheres.

Study quadratic one-forms on logarithmic Higgs bundles on pointed curves.

In this paper we describe how the operation of adding a uniton arises via the DPW method of obtaining harmonic maps into compact Riemannian symmetric spaces out of certain holomorphic one forms. We exploit this point of view to investigate which unitons preserve finite type property of harmonic maps. In particular, we …

Study examines $L^p$-boundedness of Hodge projection on manifolds with ends.

We explain a new phenomenon on non compact complete Riemannian four manifolds, where d^+ image of one forms can not exhaust densely on L^2 self dual forms on each compact subset, if a certain L^2 self dual harmonic form exists. This leads to construct a new functional analytic framework on the Seiberg-Witten map.

In this paper we prove that on a complete smooth metric measure space with non-negative Bakry-Émery-Ricci curvature if the space of weighted L^2 harmonic one-forms is non-trivial then the weighted volume of the manifold is finite and universal cover of the manifold splits isometrically as the product of the real line w…

Researchers create non-degenerate harmonic functions on n-dimensional space.

We consider 2-dimensional orientable self-shrinkers $Σ$ for the Mean Curvature Flow of polynomial volume growth immersed in $\mathbb R^n$. We look at closed one forms minimizing the norm $\int_Σ\eterm |ω|^2$ in their cohomology class. Any closed form satisfying the Euler-Lagrange equation for this minimization will be …

Unified approach to conformal and modular invariants on surfaces.

R.C.McLean showed that the moduli space of nearby submanifolds of a smooth, compact, orientable special Lagrangian submanifold L in a Calabi-Yau manifold X is a smooth manifold and its tangent space at L is identified with the space of harmonic one forms on L. In this paper, we will extend this result from Calabi-Yau m…

Scattering theory on Riemann surfaces with explicit matrix and generalized period mappings.

A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz type associated to an one form. Also, the case when the manifold is complex and …

For a homotopically energy-minimizing map $u: N^3\to S^1$ on a compact, oriented $3$-manifold $N$ with boundary, we establish an identity relating the average Euler characteristic of the level sets $u^{-1}\{θ\}$ to the scalar curvature of $N$ and the mean curvature of the boundary $\partial N$. As an application, we ob…

Study shows convergence of certain metrics to flat torus.

Unique continuation for X-ray transforms of one-forms with partial data.

The paper examines parallel one forms on Riemannian and Finslerian manifolds.

We discuss a peculiar interplay between the representation theory of the holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold, the Weitzenboeck formula for the Hodge-Laplace operator on forms and the Lichnerowicz formula for twisted Dirac operators. For quaternionic Kaehler manifolds this leads to simple proofs of eigenvalue estima…

Completes the space of vector-valued one-forms on manifolds.

We present two range characterizations for the attenuated geodesic X-ray transform defined on pairs of functions and one-forms on simple surfaces. Such characterizations are based on first isolating the range over sums of functions and one-forms, then separating each sub-range in two ways, first by implicit conditions,…

Let $M$ be an arbitrary complex manifold and let $L$ be a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over $M$. We introduce the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of the open set of $M$ where the curvature on $L$ is non-degenerate. The quantum spaces are the spectral spaces corresponding to $[0,k^{-N}]$ ($N>1$ fixed), of the Kodaira…

The subject of this paper is the relationship among the marked length spectrum, the length spectrum, the Laplace spectrum on functions, and the Laplace spectrum on forms on Riemannian nilmanifolds. In particular, we show that for a large class of three-step nilmanifolds, if a pair of nilmanifolds in this class has the …

For even dimensional conformal manifolds several new conformally invariant objects were found recently: invariant differential complexes related to, but distinct from, the de Rham complex (these are elliptic in the case of Riemannian signature); the cohomology spaces of these; conformally stable form spaces that we may…

New spectral torsion defined for rescaled Dirac operators.

Study proves Kotschick's conjecture for certain compact Kähler manifolds.

We establish a new estimate for the Ginzburg-Landau energies $E_ε(u)=\int_M\frac{1}{2}|du|^2+\frac{1}{4ε^2}(1-|u|^2)^2$ of complex-valued maps $u$ on a compact, oriented manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)\neq 0$, obtained by decomposing the harmonic component $h_u$ of the one-form $ju:=u^1du^2-u^2du^1$ into an integral and frac…

New conformally invariant forms help identify Einstein metrics.

Geodesic X-ray transform proves injective for smooth one-forms on gas giant manifolds.

In this paper, we study general $(α,β)$-metrics which $α$ is a Riemannian metric and $β$ is an one-form. We have proven that every weak Landsberg general $(α,β)$-metric is a Berwald metric, where $β$ is a closed and conformal one-form. This show that there exist no generalized unicorn metric in this class of general $(…

The paper introduces and characterizes almost ω-Bach solitons on various product manifolds.

In this paper, we study the evolution of $L^2$ one forms under Ricci flow with bounded curvature on a non-compact Rimennian manifold. We show on such a manifold that the $L^2$ norm of a smooth one form with compact support is non-increasing along the Ricci flow with bounded curvature. The $L^{\infty}$ norm is showed to…

We prove that certain Riemannian manifolds can be isometrically embedded inside Calabi-Yau manifolds. For example we prove that given any real-analytic one parameter family of Riemannian metrics $g_t$ on a 3-dimensional manifold $Y$ with volume form independent of $t$ and with a real-analytic family of nowhere vanishin…

We show that a smooth complex projective threefold admits a holomorphic one-form without zeros if and only if the underlying real 6-manifold fibres smoothly over the circle, and we give a complete classification of all threefolds with that property. Our results prove a conjecture of Kotschick in dimension three.

An anologue of the Calabi invariant for Poisson manifolds is considered. For any Poisson manifold $P$, the Poisson bracket on $C^{\infty}(P)$ extends to a Lie bracket on the space $Ω^{1}(P)$ of all differential one-forms, under which the space $Z^{1}(P)$ of closed one-forms and the space $B^{1}(P)$ of exact one-forms a…

Short note proves Poincaré inequality for 4-manifold forms.

We discuss the Morse-Novikov cohomology of a compact manifold, associated to a closed one--form whose free abelian group generated by its periods $\langle \int_γη\mid [γ] \in π_1(M)\rangle$ is of rank 1, the focus being on locally conformally symplectic manifolds. In particular, we provide an explicit computation for t…

For a holomorphic one-form $\mathbfξ$ on a weakly 1-complete manifold $X$ with certain properties, we discussed the connectivity of the pair $(\hat{X}, F^{-1}(z))$, where $π: \hat{X} \to X$ is a covering map and $dF=π^*\mathbfξ$. We also discussed the criteria about when such a manifold $X$ admits a proper holomorphic …

A conjecture of Kotschick predicts that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ fibres smoothly over the circle if and only if it admits a holomorphic one-form without zeros. In this paper we develop an approach to this conjecture and verify it in dimension two. In a joint paper with Hao, we use our approach to prove Kotschick's…

In this paper, we prove that the zero-locus of any global holomorphic log-one-form on a projective log-smooth pair $\left(X,D\right)$ of log-general type must be non-empty. Applying this result, we give an answer to the algebraic hyperbolicity part of Shafarevich's conjecture, with the generic fiber being Kawamata-log-…

Extends spectral Einstein functionals computation to 4D spin manifolds with boundary.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of one form deformation of sprays. The metrizability of the new spray, when the background spray is flat, is characterized. Therefore, we obtain new projectively flat metrics of constant flag curvature $1$. Moreover, these new metrics are not, generally, isometric to the Klein met…

We present a new optimal systolic inequality for a closed Riemannian manifold X, which generalizes a number of earlier inequalities, including that of C. Loewner. We characterize the boundary case of equality in terms of the geometry of the Abel-Jacobi map, A_X, of X. For an extremal metric, the map A_X turns out to be…

One knows that the large time heat decay exponent on a nilpotent group is given by half the growing rate of the volume of its large balls. This work deals with the similar problem of trying to interpret geometrically the heat decay on (one) forms. We will show how it is (partially) related to the depth of the relations…

Simplified proof of Cerf's theorem on 3-sphere diffeomorphisms.

The paper calculates spectral torsion for rescaled Dirac operators on manifolds.

We consider systems $(M,ω,g)$ with $M$ a closed smooth manifold, $ω$ a real valued closed one form and $g$ a Riemannian metric, so that $(ω,g)$ is a Morse-Smale pair, Definition~2. We introduce a numerical invariant $ρ(ω,g)\in[0,\infty]$ and improve Morse-Novikov theory by showing that the Novikov complex comes from a …
