In this paper, M denotes a smooth manifold of dimension n, A a Weil algebra and M^{A} the associated Weil bundle. When (M,_{M}) is a Poisson manifold with 2-form _{M}, we construct the 2-Poisson form _{M^{A}}^{A}, prolongation on M^{A} of…

In this article, we give a brief survey of recent developments on relations between global embeddability of a closed strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold and the CR Paneitz operator.

We show that, on a smoothly paracompact convenient manifold $M$ modeled on a convenient space with the bornological approximation property, the dual map of a Poisson bracket factors as a smooth section of the vector bundle…

In an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $X$, we study compactness properties and the hypercontractivity of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck evolution operators $P_{s,t}$ in the spaces $L^p(X,\gamma_t)$, $\{\gamma_t\}_{t\in\R}$ being a…

We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on Riemannian manifolds and prove several classification results. The first one asserts that a closed Riemannian manifold with three-positive curvature operator of the second kind is…

We obtain a simple formula for the multiplicity of eigenvalues of the Hodge-Laplace operator, $\Delta_f$, acting on sections of the full exterior bundle over an arbitrary compact flat Riemannian n-manifold M with holonomy group Z_2^k, with…

The harmonicity condition of the curvature 2-form of a pseudo- Riemannian manifold is formulated on the basis of annulment of this form by the de Rham-Lichnerowicz Laplacian. The following theorem is proved: The curvature 2-form of any…

We establish the plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of the Poisson functional on almost complex manifolds. That is, we generalize the corresponding result for complex manifolds and almost complex manifolds of complex dimension two.

We prove $L^p\to L^{p'}$ bounds for the resolvent of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ in the endpoint case $p=2(n+1)/(n+3)$. It has the same behavior with respect to the spectral parameter $z$…

We prove that the Riemannian metric on a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ with smooth boundary can be uniquely determined, up to an isometry fixing the boundary, by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the Laplace-Beltrami…

The regularized determinant of the Paneitz operator arises in quantum gravity (see Connes 1994, IV.4.$\gamma$). An explicit formula for the relative determinant of two conformally related metrics was computed by Branson in Branson (1996). A…

A generalized variant of the Calder\'on problem from electrical impedance tomography with partial data for anisotropic Lipschitz conductivities is considered in an arbitrary space dimension $n \geq 2$. The following two results are shown:…

The topological condition for the existence of a $pin^c$ structure on the product of two Riemannian manifolds is derived and applied to construct examples of manifolds having the weaker Lipschitz structure, but no $pin^c$ structure. An…

For compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds we lift the Bloch invariant defined by Neumann and Yang to an integral class in K_3(C) Applying the Borel and the Bloch regulators, one gets back the volume and the Chern-Simons invariant of the manifold.…

We analyze the projected effective Einstein equation in a 4-dimensional arbitrary manifold embedded in a 5-dimensional Riemann-Cartan manifold. The Israel-Darmois matching conditions are investigated, in the context where the torsion…

For an unbounded operator $S$ on a Banach space the existence of invariant subspaces corresponding to its spectrum in the left and right half-plane is proved. The general assumption on $S$ is the uniform boundedness of the resolvent along…

We obtain geometric estimates for the first eigenvalue and the fundamental tone of the p-laplacian on manifolds in terms of admissible vector fields. Also, we defined a new spectral invariant and we show its relation with the geometry of…

We consider the Laplace operator in the exterior of a compact set in the plane, subject to Robin boundary conditions. If the boundary coupling is sufficiently negative, there are at least two discrete eigenvalues below the essential…

In this paper, we establish compactness results of some class of conformally compact Einstein 4-manifolds. In the first part of the paper, we improve the earlier results obtained by Chang-Ge. In the second part of the paper, as…
