The paper studies heat kernel asymptotics for Kohn Laplacians on CR manifolds.

Motivated by a sharp eigenvalue estimate for the Kohn Laplacian, we prove a theorem that characterizes the CR sphere in terms of the existence of a non-trivial complex-valued function satisfying a certain overdetermined system.

For $1\leq q \leq n-2$, we provide explicit examples to demonstrate non-compactness of the Neumann operator for the Kohn Laplacian acting on $L^2$ $(0,q)$-forms on the unit ball in $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg space.

Let $(\hat{X}, T^{1,0} \hat{X})$ be a compact orientable CR embeddable three dimensional strongly pseudoconvex CR manifold, where $T^{1,0} \hat{X}$ is a CR structure on $\hat{X}$. Fix a point $p \in \hat{X}$ and take a global contact form $\hatθ$ so that $\hatθ$ is asymptotically flat near $p$. Then $(\hat{X}, T^{1,0} …

We prove that $n$-dimensional ($n\geqslant3$) complete and non-compact metric measure spaces with non-negative weighted Ricci curvature in which some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequality holds are close to the model metric measure $n$-space (i.e., the Euclidean metric $n$-space).

Symmetry proven for positive solutions of a weighted p-Laplace operator inequality.

Study invariant operators and vanishing theorems in CR geometry.

We study the $\bar{\partial}_b$-Neumann problem for domains $Ω$ contained in a strictly pseudoconvex manifold M^{2n+1} whose boundaries are noncharacteristic and have defining functions depending solely on the real and imaginary parts of a single CR function w. When the Kohn Laplacian is a priori known to have closed r…

The paper solves heat kernel asymptotics on non-degenerate CR manifolds.

We establish sharp regularity and Fredholm theorems for the \bar{\partial}_b-Neumann problem on domains satisfying some non-generic geometric conditions. We use these domains to construct explicit examples of bad behaviour of the Kohn Laplacian: it is not always hypoelliptic up to the boundary, its partial inverse is n…

We adapt the results of Part 1 to include the unit ball in the Heisenberg group, the model domain with characteristic boundary points. In particular, we construct function spaces on which the Kohn Laplacian with the \bar{\partial}_b-Neumann boundary conditions is an isomorphism. As an application, we establish sharp re…

Let M^3 be a closed CR 3-manifold. In this paper we derive a Bochner formula for the Kohn Laplacian in which the pseudo-hermitian torsion plays no role. By means of this formula we show that the non-zero eigenvalues of the Kohn Laplacian are bounded below by a positive constant provided the CR Paneitz operator is non-n…

This paper is part of a series papers devoted to geometric and spectral theoretic applications of the hypoelliptic calculus on Heisenberg manifolds. More specifically, in this paper we make use of the Heisenberg calculus of Beals-Greiner and Taylor to analyze the spectral theory of hypoelliptic operators on Heisenberg …

We establish inequalities for the eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators on compact submanifolds (possibly with nonempty boundary) of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces, which are related to inequalities for the Laplacian on Euclidean domains due to Payne, Pólya, and Wei…

In this paper, we obtain a new abstract formula relating eigenvalues of a self-adjoint operator to two families of symmetric and skew-symmetric operators and their commutators. This formula generalizes earlier ones obtained by Harrell, Stubbe, Hook, Ashbaugh, Hermi, Levitin and Parnovski. We also show how one can use t…

New eigenvalue estimate for CR manifolds' Kohn-Dirac operator.

In this paper, we prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality with same exponent n(n>1), then it has exactly n-dimensional volume growth. As application, we obtain geometric and topological properties of Alexandrov space, Riemannian manifold …

The paper derives inequalities on Finsler manifolds, influenced by their curvatures.

After works by Michael and Simon [10], Hoffman and Spruck [9], and White [14], the celebrated Sobolev inequality could be extended to submanifolds in a huge class of Riemannian manifolds. The universal constant obtained depends only on the dimension of the submanifold. A sort of applications to the submanifold theory a…

This memoir deals with the hypoelliptic calculus on Heisenberg manifolds, or Heisenberg calculus. The Heisenberg manifolds generalize CR and contact manifolds and in this context the main differential operators at stake include the Hörmander's sum of squares, the Kohn Laplacian, the horizontal sublaplacian and its conf…

Proves existence of eigenvalue and eigenfunction for complex Monge-Ampère operator.

We prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n \ge 3$, then it has exactly the $n$-dimensional volume growth. As an application, if an $n$-dimensional Finsler manifold of non-negative $n$-Ricci curvature satisfies th…

In this note, we first give a criterion of pseudo-Einstein contact forms and then affirm the CR analogue of Frankel conjecture in a closed, spherical, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold of nonnegative pseudohermitian curvature on the space of smooth representatives of the first Kohn-Rossi cohomology group. Moreover, we …

Paper proves Faber-Krahn inequalities for weighted Laplacian eigenvalues.

The purpose of this work is to propose a mixed Hodge structure over a CR manifold. As you know, for a CR manifold, Kohn-Rossi cohomology is naturally introduced. However, the relation between Kohn-Rossi cohomology and De Rham cohomology is not so well understood, even in Tanaka's work. We discuss this point.

In this paper we prove local analytic hypoellipticity for a degenerate sum of squares of complex vector fields generalizing those of Kohn in "Hypoellipticity and Loss of Derivatives". Kohn's article is to appear in the Annals of Mathematics with an appendix by Derridj and Tartakoff proving local analyticity in that cas…

In this paper, we obtain "universal" inequalities for eigenvalues of the weighted Hodge Laplacian on a compact self-shrinker of Euclidean space. These inequalities generalize the Yang-type and Levitin-Parnovski inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian and Laplacian. From the recursion formula of Cheng and Yang \ci…

Regular triangulations are studied in some detail, including flip algorithms. The Laplacian is then studied as an operator on functions of the vertices as a generalized wei…

Study shows rates for Laplacian-eigenmap methods in nonparametric regression.

We study the second fundamental form of semi-isometric CR immersions from strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds into Kähler manifolds. As an application, we give a precise condition for the CR umbilicality of real hypersurfaces, extending an well-known theorem by Webster on the nonexistence of CR umbilical points on gener…
