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

In this article we introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant Riemannian metric on the space of vector valued one-forms. The particular choice of metric is motivated by potential future applications in the field of functional data and shape analysis and by connections to the Ebin metric on the space of all Riemannian metrics…

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…

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

New spectral torsion defined for rescaled Dirac operators.

We consider a vector field $X$ on a closed manifold which admits a Lyapunov one form. We assume $X$ has Morse type zeros, satisfies the Morse--Smale transversality condition and has non-degenerate closed trajectories only. For a closed one form $η$, considered as flat connection on the trivial line bundle, the differen…

Scattering theory for harmonic one-forms on Riemann surfaces.

We derive large time upper bounds for heat kernels on vector bundles of differential forms on a class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds under certain curvature conditions.

The regular reduction of a Dirac manifold acted upon freely and properly by a Lie group is generalized to a nonfree action. For this, several facts about $G$-invariant vector fields and one-forms are shown.

In this paper, we define conservative semibasic vector $1-$forms on the tangent bundle of a Finsler manifold. Using these vector $1-$forms, we characterize conservative $L-$Ehresmann connections with respect to the energy function. Then we find a correspondence between torsion-free semibasic vector $1-$forms and the su…

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 …

In this paper we study the variability and rigidity of secondary characteristic classes which arise from flat connections on a manifold. Considering the connection as a Lie-algebra valued one-form, we study the characteristic map from Lie algebra cohomology to de Rham cohomology of the manifold, and prove that if the L…

The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and show how they are related to the cohomology with coefficients in ther space of sm…

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 …

Geometrically reformulates Cosserat solid mechanics using differential geometry.

Introduces a variational framework for indefinite Lagrangians with specific symmetries.

In this short article we review how the classical theory of principal fibre bundles (PFB) transcribes in an algebraic formalism. In this dual formulation, a PFB is given by a right co-module algebra ${\cal P}$ over a Hopf algebra ${\cal H}$ with a mapping $Δ_R:{\cal P}\to{\cal P}\otimes{\cal H}$. In our case ${\cal P}$…

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

The paper discusses properties of holomorphic one-forms on certain complex manifolds.

Given a Lorentzian manifold $(M,g_L)$ and a timelike unitary vector field $E$, we can construct the Riemannian metric $g_R=g_L+2ω\otimesω$, being $ω$ the metrically equivalent one form to $E$. We relate the curvature of both metrics, especially in the case of $E$ being Killing or closed, and we use the relations obtain…

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,…

These notes form the next episode in a series of articles dedicated to a detailed proof of a cohomological index formula for transversally elliptic pseudo-differential operators and applications. The first two chapters are already available as math.DG/0702575 and arXiv:0711.3898. In this episode, we construct the relat…

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 …

We consider vector fields $X$ on a closed manifold $M$ with rest points of Morse type. For such vector fields we define the property of exponential growth. A cohomology class $ξ\in H^1(M;\mathbb R)$ which is Lyapunov for $X$ defines counting functions for isolated instantons and closed trajectories. If $X$ has exponent…

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 $(…

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…

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…

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.

Derives integral formula for Hodge and Teichmüller norms.

Obtaining more accurate equity value estimates is the starting point for stock selection, value-based indexing in a noisy market, and beating benchmark indices through tactical style rotation. Unfortunately, discounted cash flow, method of comparables, and fundamental analysis typically yield discrepant valuation estim…

A dynamical system on the total space of the fibre bundle of second order accelerations, $T^2M$, is defined as a third order vector field $S$ on $T^2M$, called semispray, which is mapped by the second order tangent structure into one of the Liouville vector field. For a regular Lagrangian of second order we prove that …

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…

Helix surfaces in Anti-de Sitter space maintain constant Gaussian curvature.

We calculate the Spencer cohomology of the $(1,0)$ Poincaré superalgebras in six dimensions: with and without R-symmetry. As the cases of four and eleven dimensions taught us, we may read off from this calculation a Killing spinor equation which allows the determination of which geometries admit rigidly supersymmetric …

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…
