We prove a version of faithfully flat descent in rigid analytic geometry, for almost perfect complexes and without finiteness assumptions on the rings involved. This extends results of Drinfeld for vector bundles.

We explicitly write down all eigenvalues of the Rumin Laplacian on the standard contact spheres, and express the analytic torsion functions associated with the {Rumin complex} in terms of the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we find…

Consider a degeneration of projective algebraic manifolds equipped with a compact group action over a curve. Suppose that the total space carries a Nakano semi-positive vector bundle, which is equivariant with respect to this action. We…

We study Ruelle's type zeta and $L$-functions for a torsion free abelian group $\G$ of rank $\n\ge 2$ defined via an Euler product. It is shown that the imaginary axis is a natural boundary of this zeta function when $\n=2,4$ and 8, and in…

We conjecture that the logarithm of the absolute value of the constant in the functional equation of the Hasse-Weil L-function of a variety X over Z is equal to a certain Arakelov de Rham Euler characteristic of X. This generalizes the fact…

We establish comparison results between the Hasse-Witt invariants w_t(E) of a symmetric bundle E over a scheme and the invariants of one of its twists E_{\alpha}. For general twists we describe the difference between w_t(E) and…

Riemannian Geometry, Topology and Dynamics permit to introduce partially defined holomorphic functions on the variety of representations of the fundamental group of a manifold. The functions we consider are the complex valued Ray-Singer…

We study the transformation of torsion-free coherent analytic sheaves under proper modifications. More precisely, we study direct images of inverse image sheaves, and torsion-free preimages of direct image sheaves. Under some conditions, it…

We construct a canonical element, called the refined analytic torsion, of the determinant line of the cohomology of a closed oriented odd-dimensional manifold M with coefficients in a flat complex vector bundle E. We compute the Ray-Singer…

We prove a gluing formula for the analytic torsion on non-compact (i.e. singular) riemannian manifolds. Let M= U\cup M_1, where M_1 is a compact manifold with boundary and U represents a model of the singularity. For general elliptic…

We show that the Igusa-Klein topological torsion and the Bismut-Lott analytic torsion are equivalent for any flat vector bundle whose holonomy is a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Q})$. Our proof uses Artin's induction theorem in…

This article studies the abelian analytic torsion on a closed, oriented, Sasakian three-manifold and identifies this quantity as a specific multiple of the natural unit symplectic volume form on the moduli space of flat abelian connections.…

This is an expository paper on the meromorphic continuation of zeta functions with Euler products (for example zeta functions of groups and height zeta functions) or without (for example the Goldbach zeta function). As an application we…

We study the Ruelle dynamical determinant of a real analytic diffeomorphism on a compact surface, assuming that the tangent space over the nonwandering set admits a dominated splitting. Combining previous work of Pujals and Sambarino with…

We study a variational problem on a smooth manifold with a decomposition of the tangent bundle into $k>2$ subbundles (distributions), namely, we consider the integrated sum of their mixed scalar curvatures as a functional of adapted…

We consider a fibration with compact fiber together with a unitarily flat complex vector bundle over the total space. Under the assumption that the fiberwise cohomology admits a filtration with unitary factors, we construct Bismut-Lott…

This paper establishes a functorial framework for convergence of Drinfeld's Universal Deformation Formula (UDF) on spaces of analytic vectors. This is accomplished by matching the order of the latter with an equicontinuity condition on the…

Denote by $\mathcal{Z}_5((\mathbb{Z}_2)^3)$ the group, which is also a vector space over $\mathbb{Z}_2$, generated by equivariant unoriented bordism classes of all five-dimensional closed smooth manifolds with effective smooth…

We study the Reidemeister torsion and the analytic torsion of the $m$ dimensional disc in the Euclidean $m$ dimensional space, using the base for the homology defined by Ray and Singer in \cite{RS}. We prove that the Reidemeister torsion…

We characterize the global maximizers of a certain non-local functional defined on the space of all positively curved metrics on an ample line bundle L over a Kahler manifold X. This functional is an adjoint version, introduced by…
