We prove a formula relating the analytic torsion and Reidemeister torsion on manifolds with boundary in the general case when the metric is not necessarily a product near the boundary. The product case has been established by W. Lu\"ck and…

Let $M$ be a Kaehler manifold, and consider the total space $T^*M$ of the cotangent bundle to $M$. We show that in the formal neighborhood of the zero section $M \subset T^*M$ the space $T^*M$ admits a canonical hyperkaehler structure,…

Consider a compact manifold $M$ with smooth boundary $\partial M$. Suppose that $g$ and $\tilde{g}$ are two Riemannian metrics on $M$. We construct a family of metrics on $M$ which agrees with $g$ outside a neighborhood of $\partial M$ and…

We develop Hodge theory for a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with a background closed 3-form, H. Precisely, we prove that if the metric connections with torsion $\pm H$ have holonomy groups $G_\pm$, then the $d^H$-Laplacian preserves the…

The cohomology algebra of the canonical bundle of a compact K\"ahler manifold is naturally viewed as a module over an exterior algebra. We use the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand correspondence, together with Generic Vanishing theory, in order…

We provide an algebraic description of the Teichm\"uller space and moduli space of flat metrics on a closed manifold or orbifold and study its boundary, which consists of (isometry classes of) flat orbifolds to which the original object may…

Let $X$ be a compact oriented CR manifold of dimension $2n+1$, $n \ge 1$, with a nondegenerate Levi form of constant signature $(n_-, n_+)$. Suppose that condition $Y(q)$ holds at each point of $X$, we establish the small time asymptotics…

In this note we consider the flat bundle U and the kernel K of the Higgs field naturally associated to any (polarized) variation of Hodge structures of weight 1. We study how strict the inclusion of U in K can be in the geometric case. More…

We prove heat kernel estimates for the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Laplacian acting in spaces of differential forms over noncompact, strongly pseudoconvex complex manifolds with a Lie group symmetry and compact quotient. We also relate our…

The caloron correspondence is a tool that gives an equivalence between principal $G$-bundles based over the manifold $M \times S^1$ and principal $LG$-bundles on $M$, where $LG$ is the Fr\'echet Lie group of smooth loops in the Lie group…

We investigate when the Chevalley-Eilenberg differential of a complex Lie algebroid on a manifold with boundary admits a Hodge decomposition. We introduce the concepts of Cauchy-Riemann structures, elliptic and non-elliptic boundary points…

We investigate the geometry of a normal bundle equipped with a $(p,q)$-metric, i.e., Riemannian metric of Cheeger-Gromoll type, to the submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. We derive all natural object as the Levi-Civita connection,…

We consider a compact, oriented, smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ (with or without boundary) and we suppose $G$ is a torus acting by isometries on $M$. Given $X$ in the Lie algebra and corresponding vector field $X_M$ on $M$, one defines…
