A weak law of large numbers is established for a sequence of systems of N classical point particles with logarithmic pair potential in $\bbR^n$, or $\bbS^n$, $n\in \bbN$, which are distributed according to the configurational microcanonical…
The paper contains a talk given by the author at the Banach Center in Spring 1995. It recapitulates author's approach to construction of topological invariants of the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten type of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds in the…
We construct a series of conformally invariant differential operators acting on weighted trace-free symmetric 2-tensors by a method similar to Graham-Jenne-Mason-Sparling's. For compact conformal manifolds of dimension even and greater than…
A method, due to \'Elie Cartan, is used to give an algebraic classification of the non-reductive homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimension four. Only one case with Lorentz signature can be Einstein without having constant…
Motivated by the construction of spectral manifolds in noncommutative geometry, we introduce a higher degree Heisenberg commutation relation involving the Dirac operator and the Feynman slash of scalar fields. This commutation relation…
We show that on conformal manifolds of even dimension $n\geq 4$ there is no conformally invariant natural differential operator between density bundles with leading part a power of the Laplacian $\Delta^{k}$ for $k>n/2$. This shows that a…
This paper deals with the notion of quadratic differential in spherical CR geometry (or more generally on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds). We get to this notion by studying a splitting of Rumin complex and discuss its first features…
Associated with the Davis-Januszkiewicz theory of small covers, this paper deals with the theory of 2-torus manifolds from the viewpoint of equivariant bordism. We define a differential operator on the "dual" algebra of the unoriented…
In this article we give general neccessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is conformal to an Einstein space. These conditions are algorithmic in \emph{the metric tensor} whenever the Weyl endomorphism…
We give an algebraic/geometric characterization of the classical pseudodifferential operators on a smooth manifold in terms of the tangent groupoid and its natural $\mathbb{R}^\times_+$-action. Specifically, we show that a properly…
We introduce the notion of a differential operator on C*-algebras. This is a noncommutative analogue of a differential operator on a smooth manifold. We show that the common closed domain of all differential operators is closed under smooth…
It is generally believed that it is not possible to have a four dimensional differential calculus in $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime, with $\kappa$-Poincar\'e relativistic symmetries, covariant under ($\kappa$-deformed) Lorentz…
Assume that the compact Riemannian spin manifold $(M^n,g)$ admits a $G$-structure with characteristic connection $\nabla$ and parallel characteristic torsion ($\nabla T=0$), and consider the Dirac operator $D^{1/3}$ corresponding to the…
We construct a parametrix of a resolvent of elliptic differential operators acting on half-densities on manifolds with ends. The construction is carried out by introducing suitable pseudodifferential operators compatible with the end…
We study differentiability properties of convex operators defined on a Banach space with values in an $\Lc_p$ space and of their compositions with monotonic convex functionals on this space. We develop new tools for operators enjoying an…
Dimension 4 is the first dimension in which exotic smooth manifold pairs appear -- manifolds which are topologically the same but for which there is no smooth deformation of one into the other. Whilst smooth and triangulated 4-manifolds do…
The history of the quadratic stochastic operators can be traced back to work of S.Bernshtein (1924). During more than 80 years this theory developed and many papers were published. In recent years it has again become of interest in…
Lattice Lipschitz operators define a new class of nonlinear Banach-lattice-valued maps that can be written as diagonal functions with respect to a certain basis. In the $n-$dimensional case, such a map can be represented as a vector of size…
In this note, we obtain the sharp estimates for the first eigenvalue of Paneitz operator for $4$-dimensional compact submanifolds in Euclidean space. Since unit spheres and projective spaces can be canonically imbedded into Euclidean space,…
For closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension $4$, one can define a transversal Seiberg-Witten map. We show that there is a finite dimensional approximation for such a map. By such a method and under the condition…
