We compute explicit formulas for the curvature operators and Poincar\'e polynomials of all compact irreducible symmetric spaces. We can easily derive the Poincar\'e polynomials using quantum numbers, giving a formula that mirrors the known…
There is a class of Laplacian like conformally invariant differential operators on differential forms $L^\ell_k$ which may be considered the generalisation to differential forms of the conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian known as…
Let f be a Bianchi modular form, that is, an automorphic form for GL(2) over an imaginary quadratic field F, and let P be a prime of F at which f is new. Let K be a quadratic extension of F, and L(f/K,s) the L-function of the base-change of…
We prove a Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for noncompact 4-manifolds with foliated geometry at infinity by extending on previous work by Dai and Wei. After introducing the objects at hand, we recall some preliminary results regarding the…
In this paper, we study eigenvalue of linear fourth order elliptic operators in divergence form with Dirichlet boundary condition on a bounded domain in a compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and find a general…
We prove an Euler-Maclaurin formula for double polygonal sums and, as a corollary, we obtain approximate quadrature formulas for integrals of smooth functions over polygons with integer vertices. Our Euler-Maclaurin formula is in the spirit…
We show that a partition function of topological twisted N=4 Yang-Mills theory is given by Seiberg-Witten invariants on a Riemannian four manifolds under the condition that the sum of Euler number and signature of the four manifolds vanish.…
In the first part of this paper we prove some new Poincar\'e inequalities, with explicit constants, for domains of any hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvatures bounded from above. This inequalities involve the first…
The system of undetermined coefficients of a bifurcation problem G[z]=0 in Banach spaces is investigated for proving the existence of families of solution curves by use of the implicit function theorem. The main theorem represents an…
By using various expansions of the parametric digamma function and the method of residue computations, we study three variants of the linear Euler sums, related Hoffman's double $t$-values and Kaneko-Tsumura's double $T$-values, and…
We present several deformation and rigidity results within the classes of closed Riemannian manifolds which either are $2k$-Einstein (in the sense that their $2k$-Ricci tensor is constant) or have constant $2k$-Gauss-Bonnet curvature. The…
We show in this short note that if a rational linear combination of Pontrjagin numbers vanishes on all simply-connected $4k$-dimensional closed connected and oriented spin manifolds admitting a Riemannian metric whose Ricci curvature is…
It is well-known that odd-dimensional manifolds have Euler characteristic zero. Furthemore orientable manifolds have an even Euler characteristic unless the dimension is a multiple of $4$. We prove here a generalisation of these statements:…
We study 4-dimensional Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds whose conformal class contains a K\"ahler metric. Such Einstein metrics are non-K\"ahler and admit a Killing field extending to the conformal infinity, and the Einstein equation reduces…
Double forms are sections of the vector bundles $\Lambda^{k}T^*\mathcal{M}\otimes \Lambda^{m}T^*\mathcal{M}$, where in this work $(\mathcal{M},\mathfrak{g})$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We study graded second-order…
We provide an affirmative answer to a question posed by Tod \cite{Tod:1995b}, and construct all four-dimensional Kahler metrics with vanishing scalar curvature which are invariant under the conformal action of Bianchi V group. The…
Consider a real-analytic orientable connected complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary of dimension $n\ge 2$ and let $k$ be an integer $1\le k\le n$. In the case when $M$ is compact of dimension $n\ge 3$, we show that the manifold and…
Do all manifolds that admit Lorentzian metrics also admit such metrics that have a purely electric (PE) or purely magnetic (PM) Weyl curvature tensor? To (partially) answer this question, we show that for all algebraic curvature tensors on…
We investigate the geometry and topology of submanifolds under a sharp pinching condition involving extrinsic invariants like the mean curvature and the length of the second fundamental form. Several homology vanishing results are given.…
We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at…
