We prove a formula for the intersection R-torsion of a finite cone and use it to introduce a family of spectral invariants which is closely related to Cheeger's half torsion.

We give an explicit formula for the $L^2$ analytic torsion of the finite metric cone over an oriented compact connected Riemannian manifold. We provide an interpretation of the different factors appearing in this formula. We prove that the…

We prove the equality of the $L^2$-analytic torsion and the intersection R torsion of the even dimensional finite metric cone over an odd dimensional compact manifold.

We compute the analytic torsion of a cone over a sphere of dimension 1, 2, and 3, and we conjecture a general formula for the cone over an odd dimensional sphere.

The formula for analytic torsion of a cone in even dimensions is comprised of three terms. The first two terms are well understood and given by an algebraic combination of the Betti numbers and the analytic torsion of the cone base. The…

This article starts with the mathematical definition, concrete description, and physical meaning of Cartan's torsion. I proceed with the argumentation that torsion is required for the description of intrinsic spin. Moreover I argue that the…

We give an explicit construction of a closed curve with constant torsion and everywhere positive curvature. We also discuss the restrictions on closed curves of constant torsion when they are constrained to lie on convex surfaces.

A Fourier restriction estimate is obtained for a broad class of conic surfaces by adding a weight to the usual underlying measure. The new restriction estimate exhibits a certain affine-invariance and implies the sharp $L^p-L^q$ restriction…

In this paper we study the analytic torsion of an odd-dimensional manifold with isolated conical singularities. First we show that the analytic torsion is invariant under deformations of the metric which are of higher order near the…

By a classical result of Roitman, a complete intersection $X$ of sufficiently small degree admits a rational decomposition of the diagonal. This means that some multiple of the diagonal by a positive integer $N$, when viewed as a cycle in…

I reproduce, in the case of a conical geometry, the torque anomaly recently noted by Fulling, Mera and Trendafilova for the wedge. The expected conservation equation is obtained by a variational method and a mathematical cancellation of the…

We provide new logarithmic lower bounds for the torsion order of a very general complete intersection in projective space as well as a very general hypersurface in products of projective spaces and Grassmannians, in particular we prove…

For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…

We study the deformation of spherical conical metrics with at least some of the cone angles larger than $2\pi$. We show in this note via synthetic geometry that for one family of such metrics, there is local rigidity in the choice of cone…

We study the renormalized analytic torsion of complete manifolds with fibred boundary metrics, also referred to as $\phi$-metrics. We establish invariance of the torsion under suitable deformations of the metric, and establish a gluing…

The application of pure torsion to a long and thin cylindrical rod is known to provoke a twisting instability, evolving from an initial kink to a knot. In the torsional parallel-plate rheometry of stubby cylinders, the geometrical…

In this note, we use the intersection number to determine explicitly the balanced cone of the small resolution of the quintic conifold.

In this paper we have studied the notion of rough convergence of sequences in a partial metric space. We have also investigated how far several relevant results on boundedness, rough limit sets etc. which are valid in a metric space are…

In this paper we consider a partial overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in domains inside a cone as in [18]. We show that in cones having an isoperimetric property the only domains which admit a solution and which minimize a…

We study the analytic torsion of the cone over an orientable odd dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold W. We prove that the logarithm of the analytic torsion of the cone decomposes as the sum of the logarithm of the root of the…
