We bring together two apparently disconnected lines of research (of mathematical and of physical nature, respectively) which aim at the definition, through the corresponding zeta function, of the determinant of a differential operator…
In this note, we prove the regularity of eta forms by the Clifford asymptotics. Then we generalize this result to the equivariant case.
Let L be an ample holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex Hermitian manifold X. Any fixed smooth Hermitian metric on L induces a Hilbert space structure on the space of global holomorphic sections with values in the k:th tensor power…
We study convergence of operator families of the form $A_\beta = A + \beta B$ towards an effective operator defined on $\ker(B)$, as the coupling constant $\beta$ tends to infinity. Crucially, we focus on the setting where neither $A$ nor…
We prove an arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel type theorem for semi-positive singular hermitian line bundles of finite height. In particular, the theorem applies to the log-singular metrics of Burgos-Kramer-K\"uhn. Our theorem is thus suitable for…
We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for…
We study two natural problems concerning the scalar and the Ricci curvatures of the Bismut connection. Firstly, we study an analog of the Yamabe problem for Hermitian manifolds related to the Bismut scalar curvature, proving that, fixed a…
On 5-dimensional almost contact B-metric manifolds, the form of any K\"ahler-type tensor (i.e. a tensor satisfying the properties of the curvature tensor of the Levi-Civita connection in the special class of the parallel structures on the…
We define a frontal bundle by imposing a compatibility condition on two types of coherent tangent bundles over a surface with boundary. Since it is known that there are two Gauss-Bonnet type formulas for coherent tangent bundles, we obtain…
In this note we prove that the moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve, with a fixed determinant is $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected. We obtain this result by classifying vector bundles on a curve upto $\mathbb{A}^1$-concordance. Consequently we…
In previous work, we introduced eta invariants for even dimensional manifolds. It plays the same role as the eta invariant of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer, which is for odd dimensional manifolds. It is associated to $K^1$ representatives on even…
We prove a rigidity result for certain critical Z/2 eigensections of the Laplacian on S^2 associated to a flat real line bundle determined by a branch-point configuration. More precisely, we show that every minimal non-degenerate critical…
The cyclic and dihedral groups can be made to act on the set Acyc(Y) of acyclic orientations of an undirected graph Y, and this gives rise to the equivalence relations ~kappa and ~delta, respectively. These two actions and their…
We obtain a class of locally symmetric Kaehler Einstein structures on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature. Similar results are obtained in the case of a Riemannian manifold of positive sectional…
We obtain a class of locally symetric Kaehler Einstein structures on the nonzero cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold of positive constant sectional curvature. The obtained class of Kaehler Einstein structures depends on one essential…
We propose a notion of discrete elastic and area-constrained elastic curves in 2-dimensional space forms. Our definition extends the well-known discrete Euclidean curvature equation to space forms and reflects various geometric properties…
We construct an explicit solution of the Seiberg-Witten map for a linear gauge field on the non-commutative plane. We observe that this solution as well as the solution for a constant curvature diverge when the non-commutativity parameter…
We show that a compact Kahler manifold admitting a nondegenerate holomorphic 2-form valued in a line bundle is a finite cyclic cover of a hyperkahler manifold. With respect to the connection induced by the locally hyperkahler metric, the…
In this paper, we study connected components of strata of the space of quadratic differentials lying over $\T_g$. We use certain general properties of sections of line bundles to put a upper bound on the number of connected components, and…
A discrete Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern is a configuration of particles in Z^2. The particles are arranged in a finite number of consecutive rows, numbered from the bottom. There is one particle on the first row, two particles on the second row,…
