In this paper we prove geometric residue theorems for bundle maps over a compact manifold. The theory developed associates residues to the singularity submanifolds of the map for any invariant polynomial. The theory is then applied to a…

We construct 7-dimensional compact Einstein spaces with conical singularities that preserve 1/8 of the supersymmetries of M-theory. Mathematically they have weak G_2-holonomy. We show that for every non-compact G_2-holonomy manifold which…

Let $Y=\Gamma\backslash H^n$ be a quotient of the hyperbolic space by the action of a discrete convex-cocompact group of isometries. We describe certain spaces of $\Gamma$-invariant currents on the sphere at infinity of $H^n$ with support…

For manifolds with a distinguished asymptotically flat end, we prove a density theorem which produces harmonic asymptotics on the distinguished end, while allowing for points of incompleteness (or negative scalar curvature) away from this…

As an application of the Bochner formula, we prove that if a $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifold admits a non-trivial smooth tangent vector field $X$ then its Gauss curvature is the divergence of a tangent vector field, constructed from…

We develop the deformation theory of instantons on asymptotically conical $G_2$-manifolds, where an asymptotic connection at infinity is fixed. A spinorial approach is adopted to relate the space of deformations to the kernel of a twisted…

Let $f:N\rightarrow (M,g)$ be an oriented (or spin), complete, stable, minimal, immersed hypersurface. In this paper we establish various vanishing theorems for the space of $L^2$-harmonic forms and spinors (in the spin case) under suitable…

Our main result asserts that for any given numbers C and D the class of simply connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension m<7 which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature bounded in absolute value by C and diameter uniformly…

A nearly parallel $G_{2}$-manifold $Y$ is a Riemannian 7-manifold whose cone $C(Y) = \mathbb{R}_{>0} \times Y$ has the holonomy group contained in ${\rm Spin(7)}$. In other words, it is a spin 7-manifold with a real Killing spinor. We have…

We show that a complete $m$-dimensional immersed submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $a(M)<1$ is properly immersed and have finite topology, where $a(M)\in [0,\infty]$ is an scaling invariant number that gives the rate that the norm of…

New estimates are derived concerning the behavior of self-dual hamonic 2-forms on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold with non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariants. Applications include a vanishing theorem for certain Seiberg-Witten invariants on…

It is proved that if one of the finite modules M and N, over a local ring R, has reducible complexity and has finite Gorenstein dimension then the depth formula holds, provided TorR_i(M,N) = 0 for i>>0. We also study the vanishing of…

Every compact 3-Sasakian 7-manifold $M$ admits a canonical 2-parameter family of co-closed $\text{G}_2$-structures $\varphi_{a,b}$ for $a,b > 0$, as well as a foliation by $\varphi_{a,b}$-associative 3-folds whose leaf space $X$ is a…

In this paper we study M-theory compactifications on seven-dimensional manifolds with SU(3) structure. As such manifolds naturally pick out a specific direction, the resulting effective theory can be cast into a form which is similar to…

Let $O_X$ (resp. $D_X$) be the sheaf of holomorphic functions (resp. the sheaf of linear differential operators with holomorphic coefficients) on $X$ (=the complex affine n-space). Let $Y$ be a locally weakly quasi-homogeneous free divisor…

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a smooth fibration between two complex manifolds $X$ and $Y$, and let $L$ be a pseudo-effective line bundle on $X$. We obtain a sufficient condition for $R^{q}f_{\ast}(K_{X/Y}\otimes L)$ to be reflexive and hence…

The main result is that for a connected hyperbolic complete K\"ahler manifold with bounded geometry of order two and exactly one end, either the first compactly supported cohomology with values in the structure sheaf vanishes or the…
