In this paper the notion of a superconformal structure on a supermanifold is introduced in an effort to study the superparticle sigma-model. There are, in particular, two main aspects of the sigma-model which are investigated. The first is…

We study the Laplacian on a metrized graph, and its eigenfunctions.

We consider odd Laplace operators arising in odd symplectic geometry. Approach based on semidensities (densities of weight 1/2) is developed. The role of semidensities in the Batalin--Vilkovisky formalism is explained. In particular, we…

For a class of non compact Riemannian manifolds with ends, we give pseudo-differential expansions of bounded functions of the semi-classical Laplacian and study related Lp boundedness properties.

We develop a geometric version of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for discrete mechanics and constrained discrete mechanics. The geometric approach consists of using suitable Lagrangian and isotropic submanifolds. We also…

The metric is quite singular at infinity and it is not complete. Using these expansions, we have a more precise description of the asymptotic behavior of quasi-harmonic functions and of eigenfunctions of drift-Laplacian at infinity.

We present a symmetry result to solutions of equations involving the fractional Laplacian in a domain with at least two perpendicular symmetries. We show that if the solution is continuous, bounded, and odd in one direction such that it has…

We recall the main facts about the odd Laplacian acting on half-densities on an odd symplectic manifold and discuss a homological interpretation for it suggested recently by P. {\v{S}}evera. We study the relationship of odd symplectic…

Using odd symplectic structure constructed over tangent bundle of the symplectic manifold, we construct the simple supergeneralization of an arbitrary Hamiltonian mechanics on it. In the case, if the initial mechanics defines Killing vector…

In this work we present an introduction to Supersymmetry in the context of 1-dimensional Quantum Mechanics. For that purpose we develop the concept of hamiltonians factorization using the simple harmonic oscillator as an example, we…

Exploring the relationship between geometry and the resonant frequencies of a shape is of interest to pure and applied mathematicians. These resonant frequencies are related to the spectrum of the Laplacian, a partial differential operator.…

The global additive and multiplicative properties of the Laplacian on j-forms and related zeta functions are analyzed. The explicit form of zeta functions on a product of closed oriented hyperbolic manifolds \Gamma\backslash{\Bbb H}^d and…

Any positive power of the Laplacian is related via its Fourier symbol to a hypersingular integral with finite differences. We show how this yields a pointwise evaluation which is more flexible than other notions used so far in the…

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we identify the symmetry algebra of the Laplacian on Euclidean space as an explicit quotient of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of conformal motions. We construct analogues of these…

We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…

Two-dimensional sigma-models describing superstrings propagating on manifolds of special holonomy are characterized by symmetries related to covariantly constant forms that these manifolds hold, which are generally non-linear and close in a…

A super-Laplacian is a set of differential operators in superspace whose highest-dimensional component is given by the spacetime Laplacian. Symmetries of super-Laplacians are given by linear differential operators of arbitrary finite degree…
