In this paper, we first establish an $S^1$-equivariant index theorem for Spin$^c$ Dirac operators on $\mathbb{Z}/k$ manifolds, then combining with the methods developed by Taubes \cite{MR998662} and Liu-Ma-Zhang \cite{MR1870666,MR2016198},…

In this paper we use the Weitzenb\"ock formulas to get information about the Betti numbers of compact nearly $G_2$ and compact nearly K\"{a}hler $6$-manifolds. First, we establish estimates on two curvature-type self adjoint operators on…
