The invariant theory for conformal hypersurfaces is studied by treating these as the conformal infinity of a conformally compact manifold: For a given conformal hypersurface embedding, a distinguished ambient metric is found (within its…
Complex manifolds with compatible metric have a naturally defined subspace of harmonic differential forms that satisfy Serre, Hodge, and conjugation duality, as well as hard Lefschetz duality. This last property follows from a…
We present novel, deterministic, efficient algorithms to compute the symmetries of a planar algebraic curve, implicitly defined, and to check whether or not two given implicit planar algebraic curves are similar, i.e. equal up to a…
We study the algebra of differential operators on non-compact simply connected harmonic manifolds and provide sufficient conditions for them to have a radial fundamental solution and be surjective on the space of smooth function.…
We make two remarks: (i) Renormalization of the effective charge in a 4--dimensional (supersymmetric) gauge theory is determined by the same graphs and is rigidly connected to the renormalization of the metric on the moduli space of the…
A supersymmetric $D = 1, N =1$ model with a Grassmann-odd Lagrangian is proposed which, in contrast to the model with an even Lagrangian, contains not only a kinetic term but also an interaction term for the coordinates entering into one…
We revisit the well-established regularity estimates on harmonic maps on surfaces to question their independence with respect to the dimension of the target manifold. We are mainly interested in harmonic maps into target ellipsoids, that we…
The space forms, the complex hyperbolic spaces and the quaternionic hyperbolic spaces are characterized as the harmonic manifolds with specific radial eigenfunctions of the Laplacian.
Symmetries and isomorphisms play similar conceptual roles when we consider how models represent physical situations, but they are formally distinct, as two models related by symmetries are not typically isomorphic. I offer a rigorous…
In this paper, we study the relation between geodesic and harmonic mappings. Harmonic mappings are defined between Riemannian manifolds as critical points of the energy functional, on the other hand, geodesic mappings are defined in a more…
This paper is devoted to the investigation of harmonic and biharmonic functions on vector bundles equipped with spherically symmetric metrics. We will study the biharmonicity of vertical lifts of functions as well as $r$-radial functions on…
We examine a specific category of eigenfunctions of the lattice Laplacian on $\{p,q\}$-tessellations of the Poincar\'e disk that bear resemblance to plane waves in the continuum case. Our investigation reveals that the lattice eigenmodes…
Consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ with nonempty compact boundary. We recall the harmonic conformal class $[g]_h$ of the metric, which consists of all conformal rescalings given by a harmonic…
We study Hadamard variation of eigenvalues of Laplacian with respect to general domain perturbations. We show their existence up to the second order rigorously and characterize the derivatives, using associated eigenvalue problems in finite…
We prove the equivalence of several natural notions of conformal maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main contribution is in the setting of those manifolds that support a suitable regularity theory for subelliptic $p$-Laplacian…
In this paper we connect classical differential geometry with the concepts from geometric calculus. Moreover, we introduce and analyze a more general Laplacian for multivector-valued functions on manifolds. This allows us to formulate a…
Kusuoka and Zhou have defined the Laplacian on the Sierpinski carpet using average values of functions on small cells and the graph structure of cell adjacency. We have implemented an algorithm that uses their method to approximate…
We develop potential theory for $m$-subharmonic functions with respect to a Hermitian metric on a Hermitian manifold. First, we show that the complex Hessian operator is well-defined for bounded functions in this class. This allows to…
