Explicit methods are presented for computing the cohomology of stable, holomorphic vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. The complete particle spectrum of the low-energy, four-dimensional theory is specified by the…
We first introduce a class of divergence measures between power spectral density matrices. These are derived by comparing the suitability of different models in the context of optimal prediction. Distances between "infinitesimally close"…

We compute the cohomology of the right generalised projective Stiefel manifolds and use it to find bounds on the rank of the complementary bundle for certain vector bundles. Further the cohomology computations are also used to find bounds…
At high energies relativistic quantum systems describing scalar particles behave classically. This observation plays an important role in the investigation of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on manifolds for large energies and allows…
We consider harmonic sections of a bundle over the complement of a codimension 2 submanifold in a Riemannian manifold, which can be thought of as multivalued harmonic functions. We prove a result to the effect that these are stable under…
This article studies the harmonicity of vector fields on Riemannian manifolds, viewed as maps into the tangent bundle equipped with a family of Riemannian metrics. Geometric and topological rigidity conditions are obtained, especially for…
We show that the quantization of energy for Willmore spheres into closed Riemannian manifolds holds provided that the Willmore energy and the area are uniformly bounded. The analogous energy quantization result holds for Willmore surfaces…
This paper studies the reduction by symmetry of variational problems on Lie groups and Riemannian homogeneous spaces. We derive the reduced equations of motion in the case of Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric, and on Lie…
Effects of geometric constraints on a steady flow potential are described by an elliptic-hyperbolic generalization of the harmonic map equations. Sufficient conditions are given for global triviality.
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…
The notion of a higher bundle gerbe is introduced to give a geometric realization of the higher degree integral cohomology of certain manifolds. We consider examples using the infinite dimensional spaces arising in gauge theories.
Submanifold theory is a very active vast research field which plays an important role in the development of modern differential geometry. This branch of differential geometry is still so far from being exhausted; only a small portion of an…
We introduce anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from cosymplectic manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We survey main results of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions defined on cosymplectic manifolds. We investigate necessary and…
We study multisymplectic structures taking values in vector bundles with connections from the viewpoint of the Hamiltonian symmetry. We introduce the notion of bundle-valued $n$-plectic structures and exhibit some properties of them. In…
A topological quantum field theory is introduced which reproduces the Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. Dimensional reduction of this topological field theory leads to a new one in three dimensions. Its partition function yields…
We develop the theory of invariant random fields in vector bundles. The spectral decomposition of an invariant random field in a homogeneous vector bundle generated by an induced representation of a compact connected Lie group $G$ is…
Within the approach of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics associated with the variational method a recipe to construct the superpotential of three dimensional confined potentials in general is proposed. To illustrate the construction, the…
General classical theories of material fields in an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space are considered. For these theories, with the help of equations of balance, new non-trivially generalized, manifestly generally covariant expressions for…
We define a version of spectral invariant in the vortex Floer theory for a $G$-Hamiltonian manifold $M$. This defines potentially new (partial) symplectic quasi-morphism and quasi-states when $M//G$ is not semi-positive. We also establish a…
