Let $\big(M,g^{TM}\big)$ be a noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold of even dimension $n$, with $k^{TM}$ denote the associated scalar curvature. Let $f\colon M\rightarrow S^{n}(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map, which is locally…

We study de Rham cohomology for various differential calculi on finite groups G up to order 8. These include the permutation group S_3, the dihedral group D_4 and the quaternion group Q. Poincare' duality holds in every case, and under some…

We study the topology of the inertia space of a smooth $G$-manifold $M$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group. We construct an explicit Whitney stratification of the inertia space, demonstrating that the inertia space is a triangulable…

Following Hopkins and Singer, we give a definition for the differential equivariant K-theory of a smooth manifold acted upon by a finite group. The ring structure for differential equivariant K-theory is developed explicitly. We also…

If we are given a smooth differential operator in the variable $x\in {\mathbb R}/2\pi {\mathbb Z},$ its normal form, as is well known, is the simplest form obtainable by means of the $\mbox{Diff}(S^1)$-group action on the space of all such…

We compute arithmetic support of the formal deformations $D=P+tQ_1+t^2Q_2+...$ of the differential operator $P=(x\partial_x-r_1)...(x\partial_x-r_k)$, where $r_1,...,r_k\in\mathbb{Q}$ for sufficiently large primes $p$ in terms of the…

We prove an effective bound for the degrees of generators of the algebraic de Rham cohomology of smooth affine hypersurfaces. In particular, we show that the de Rham cohomology H_dR^p(X) of a smooth hypersurface X of degree d in C^n can be…

We define a group of relative differential K-characters associated with a smooth map between two smooth compact manifolds. We show that this group fits into a short exact sequence as in the non-relative case. Some secondary geometric…

Let G be a compact Lie group acting transitively on Riemannian manifolds M and N. Let p be a G equivariant Riemannian submersion from M to N. We show that a smooth differential form on N has finite Fourier series if and only if the pull…

A classical theorem of Colin de Verdi\`ere shows that on a closed manifold of fixed topology one can prescribe an arbitrary finite portion of the Laplace-Beltrami spectrum (including multiplicities, subject to the usual topological…

The definition of the standard differential operator is extended from integer steps to arbitrary stepsize. The classical, nonrelativistic Hamiltonian is quantized, using these new continuous operators. The resulting Schroedinger type…

Given a smooth foliation on a closed manifold, basic forms are differential forms that can be expressed locally in terms of the transverse variables. The space of basic forms yields a differential complex, because the exterior derivative…
