We prove some sharp upper bounds on the number of resonances associated with the Laplacian, or Laplacian plus potential, on a manifold with infinite cylidrical ends.
We define the notion of special Lagrangian curvature, showing how it may be interpreted as an alternative higher dimensional generalisation of two dimensional Gaussian curvature. We obtain first a local rigidity result for this curvature…
We investigate the one-parameter Calabi-Yau models and identify families of D5-branes which are associated to lines embedded in these manifolds. The moduli spaces are given by sets of Riemann curves, which form a web whose intersection…
This paper considers eleven dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary and the theories related to heterotic $M$-theory, in which the matter is confined to the boundary. New low energy actions and boundary conditions on…
Multiplicity results for solutions of various boundary value problems are known for dynamical systems on compact configuration manifolds, given by Lagrangians or Hamiltonians which have quadratic growth in the velocities or in the momenta.…
This article studies the deformation problem for compact special Lagrangians with boundary in a Calabi--Yau manifold, with each boundary component constrained along a given Lagrangian submanifold. The tangent vectors generating such…
This is mostly a survey paper, where we collect results concerning the spectral bounds of deterministic and random Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials, both on \(\mathbb{R}^d\) and on compact manifolds. The survey part is…
We show that a two-dimensional totally real concordance can be approximated by a Lagrangian concordance whose Legendrian boundary has been stabilised both positively and negatively sufficiently many times. The main applications that we…
A new action for eleven dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary is presented. The action is a possible low energy limit of $M$-theory. Previous problems with infinite constants in the action are overcome and a new set of…
We study the decompactification limit of M-theory superpotentials for N=1 four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. These superpotentials can be interpreted as generated by toron configurations. The connection with the confinement…
We construct rigid supersymmetric gauge theories on Riemannian five-manifolds. We follow a holographic approach, realizing the manifold as the conformal boundary of a six-dimensional bulk supergravity solution. This leads to a systematic…
We formulate boundary conditions for an open membrane that ends on the fivebrane of {\cal M}-theory. We show that the dynamics of the eleven-dimensional fivebrane can be obtained from the quantization of a ``small membrane'' that is…
In this paper the notion of a superconformal structure on a supermanifold is introduced in an effort to study the superparticle sigma-model. There are, in particular, two main aspects of the sigma-model which are investigated. The first is…
We study non-perturbative effects in four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric orientifold compactifications due to D-brane instantons which are generically not invariant under the orientifold projection. We show that they can yield…
For a class of non compact Riemannian manifolds with ends, we give pseudo-differential expansions of bounded functions of the semi-classical Laplacian and study related Lp boundedness properties.
We introduce and discuss notions of regularity and flexibility for Lagrangian manifolds with Legendrian boundary in Weinstein domains. There is a surprising abundance of flexible Lagrangians. In turn, this leads to new constructions of…
We investigate forms on supermanifolds defined as Lagrangians of ``copaths'' (that is, systems of equations, which may or may not specify submanifolds). For this, we consider direct products $M^{n|m}\times\Bbb R^{r|s}$ and study…
In this note, we first introduce a boundary problem for Lagrangian submanifolds, analogous to the problem for free boundary hypersurfaces and capillary hypersurfaces. Then we present several interesting examples of Lagrangian submanifolds…
We analyze constrained superfields in supergravity. We investigate the consistency and solve all known constraints, presenting a new class that may have interesting applications in the construction of inflationary models. We provide the…
We explain why it is necessary to use boundary conditions in the proof of supersymmetry of a supergravity action on a manifold with boundary. Working in both boundary (``downstairs'') and orbifold (``upstairs'') pictures, we present a…
