For a closed, spin, odd dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$, we define the rho invariant $\rho_{spin}(Y,E,H, g)$ for the twisted Dirac operator $D^E_H$ on $Y$, acting on sections of a flat hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$, where $H…

In the Stiefel manifold $X_{n,k}$, we replace Frankel linear height function by a quadratic one. We prove this is still a Morse-Bott function, whose structure of critical levels presents a dichotomy according to the sign of $n-2k$. The…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, and let $-\Delta $ be its Laplace-Beltrami operator. For any bounded scalar potential $q$, we denote by $\lambda\_i(q)$ the $i$-th eigenvalue of the Schr\"{o}dinger type…

We consider the critical points of Steklov eigenfunctions on a compact, smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. For generic metrics on $M$ we establish an identity which relates the sum of the indexes of a…

We consider the principal eigenvalue problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the upper half of a topological torus under the Dirichlet boundary condition. We present a construction of the upper half of a topological torus that admits…

We extend to Dirichlet L-functions associated with arbitrary primitive characters a range of objects and properties -- including Eisenstein series and period functions -- that were originally introduced and studied by Lewis and Zagier…

We determine the structure of conformal powers of the Dirac operator on Einstein {\it Spin}-manifolds in terms of the product formula for shifted Dirac operators. The result is based on the techniques of higher variations for the Dirac…

We give a brief overview of the kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formulism. The chiral and spin kinetic equations can be derived from equations for Wigner functions. A general Wigner function has 16 components which…

We establish integral formulas and sharp two-sided bounds for the Ricci curvature, mean curvature and second fundamental form on a Riemannian manifold with boundary. As applications, sharp gradient and Hessian estimates are derived for the…

We prove the existence of branched immersed constant mean curvature 2-spheres in an arbitrary Riemannian 3-sphere for almost every prescribed mean curvature, and moreover for all prescribed mean curvatures when the 3-sphere is positively…

We prove multiplicity theorems for Keller $ C_c^1 $-functionals on Frechet spaces and Finsler manifolds which are invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup. For such functionals, we evaluate the minimal number of critical points by…

We numerically find out the spectrum of the $3$ spin $1$ Dirac operators found in~\cite{ApbPP}. We give an analytic and numerical proof that they are unitarily inequivalent. Since these operators come paired with an anticommuting chirality…

We consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional of twist Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E,H_0)$ over a Riemann surface $X$. It is already known the gradient flow with initial data $(A_0,\phi_0)$ converges to a…

In this note we establish the positivity of Green's functions for a class of elliptic differential operators on closed, Riemannian manifolds.

We prove a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold depending on the scalar curvature as well as a chosen Codazzi tensor. The inequality generalizes the classical estimate from [2].
