Paper defines spectral triple and computes functional for nonminimal de Rham-Hodge operator.

In this paper we construct examples of Weil-Petersson geodesics with nonminimal ending laminations which have 1-dimensional limit sets in the Thurston compactification of Teichmüller space.

In the current paper the Lagrangian of a classical, relativistic point particle is obtained whose conjugate momentum satisfies the dispersion relation of a quantum wave packet that is subject to Lorentz violation based on a particular coefficient of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). The properties of this …

In this paper, we get a Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorem associated to nonminimal de Rham-Hodge operators on compact manifolds with boundary. We give two kinds of operator-theoretic explanations of the gravitational action in the case of four dimensional compact manifolds with flat boundary.

New solutions found to Ginzburg-Landau equations on surfaces.

Spirals are not shortest paths in certain sub-Riemannian geometries.

Computer algebra methods are applied to investigation of spectral asymptotics of elliptic differential operators on curved manifolds with torsion and in the presence of a gauge field. In this paper we present complete expressions for the second coefficient (E_2) in the heat kernel expansion for nonminimal operator on m…

We give a locally minimal, but not globally minimal bridge position of a knot, that is, an unstabilized, nonminimal bridge position of a knot. It implies that a bridge position cannot always be simplified so that the bridge number monotonically decreases to the minimal.

Given a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold and $\nabla$ a covariant derivative on $V$, let $P = -(\lvert g \rvert^{-1/2} \nabla_μ\lvert g \rvert^{1/2} g^{μν} u \nabla_ν+ p^μ\nabla_μ+q)$ be a nonminimal Laplace type operator acting on smooth sections of $V$ wher…

New solutions found for Ginzburg-Landau equations on complex manifolds.

We define a parabolic flow of pluriclosed metrics. This flow is of the same family introduced by the authors in \cite{ST}. We study the relationship of the existence of the flow and associated static metrics topological information on the underlying complex manifold. Solutions to the static equation are automatically H…

Let $P$ be a Laplace type operator acting on a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold given locally by $P= - [g^{μν} u(x)\partial_μ\partial_ν+ v^ν(x)\partial_ν+ w(x)]$ where $u,\,v^ν,\,w$ are $M_N(\mathbb{C})$-valued functions with $u(x)$ positive and invertible. F…

We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two boundary curves are either parallel or sufficiently close to parallel, and when th…

Chen's flow is a fourth-order curvature flow motivated by the spectral decomposition of immersions, a program classically pushed by B.-Y. Chen since the 1970s. In curvature flow terms the flow sits at the critical level of scaling together with the most popular extrinsic fourth-order curvature flow, the Willmore and su…

In this paper, we investigate geometric conditions for isometric immersions with positive index of relative nullity to be cylinders. There is an abundance of noncylindrical $n$-dimensional minimal submanifolds with index of relative nullity $n-2$, fully described by Dajczer and Florit \cite{DF2} in terms of a certain c…

We address the problem of existence and uniqueness of a Levi-flat hypersurface $M$ in $C^n$ with prescribed compact boundary $S$ for $n\ge3$. The situation for $n\ge3$ differs sharply from the well studied case $n=2$. We first establish necessary conditions on $S$ at both complex and CR points, needed for the existence…

If $Y$ is a properly embedded minimal surface in a convex cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with boundary at infinity an embedded curve $γ$, then Graham and Witten showed how to define a renormalized area $\calA$ of $Y$ via Hadamard regularization. We study renormalized area as a functional on the space of all such m…
