This paper contains some vanishing theorems for $L^2$ harmonic forms on complete Riemannian manifolds with a weighted Poincar\'e inequality and a certain lower bound of the curvature. The results are in the spirit of Li-Wang and Lam, but…
We prove a vanishing theorem of Betti numbers on compact, strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian manifolds with non-negative curvature operator. The proof is by an application of the Bochner technique to the setting of CR manifolds.
The Bochner technique is a classical tool in global differential geometry for proving vanishing and rigidity results by exploiting curvature conditions. Building on recent extensions of this method to complete non-compact settings by…

Lorentz's group represented by the hypercomplex system of numbers, which is based on dirac matrices, is investigated. This representation is similar to the space rotation representation by quaternions. This representation has several…
A $(p,q)$-double form on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ can be considered simultaneously as a vector-valued differential $p$-form over $M$ or alternatively as a vector-valued $q$-form. Accordingly, the usual Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on…
We explore a relationship between the classical representation theory of a complex, semisimple Lie algebra \g and the resonance varieties R(V,K)\subset V^* attached to irreducible \g-modules V and submodules K\subset V\wedge V. In the…
In this paper we establish new Bochner-Kodaira formulas with quadratic curvature terms on compact K\"ahler manifolds: for any $\eta\in \Omega^{p,q}(M)$, $$ \left\langle\Delta_{\overline \partial} \eta,\eta\right\rangle =\left\langle…
We show that if a countable discrete group acts properly and isometrically on a spin manifold of bounded Riemannian geometry and uniformly positive scalar curvature, then, under a suitable condition on the group action, the maximal higher…
In this paper, we show several rigidity results for harmonic $(p,q)$-forms in complete K\"{a}hler manifolds. We also give several applications to study non-compact K\"{a}hler manifolds with parallel Bochner tensor or quaternion K\"{a}hler…

We show that compact K\"ahler manifolds have the rational cohomology ring of complex projective space provided a weighted sum of the lowest three eigenvalues of the K\"ahler curvature operator is positive. This follows from a more general…
