Recent work demonstrated that alternative models to the "no-slip" boundary condition for incipient flow perturbations can produce linear instabilities that do not arise in the classical formulation. The present study introduces a Robin-type…

Using H. Donnelly result from the article "Eta Invariants for G-Spaces" we calculate the eta invariants of the signature operator for almost all 7-dimensional flat manifolds with cyclic holonomy group. In all cases this eta invariants are…

We show that elliptic complexes of (pseudo)differential operators on smooth compact manifolds with boundary can always be complemented to a Fredholm problem by boundary conditions involving global pseudodifferential projections on the…

A right-invariant metric $\rho_{\alpha}$ on the compactly supported identity component $Cont_0(M,\alpha)$ of the group of contactomorphisms of an arbitrary contact manifold $(M,\alpha)$ is introduced in a similar way that the Hofer metric…

We define a new algebraic structure called a \emph{pointed rack} and use it to construct ambient isotopy invariants of $ n $-braids. We first introduce an integer-valued invariant of braids using pointed racks. This is then strengthened by…

We discuss an infinite class of metabelian Von Neumann rho-invariants. Each one is a homomorphism from the monoid of knots to the real line. In general they are not well defined on the concordance group. Nonetheless, we show that they pass…

We consider a countable tree $T$, possibly having vertices with infinite degree, and an arbitrary stochastic nearest neighbour transition operator $P$. We provide a boundary integral representation for general eigenfunctions of $P$ with…

We consider the boundary rigidity problem for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. We show injectivity of the X-ray transform in several cases and consider the non-linear inverse problem which consists of recovering a metric from boundary…

Boundary states are given by appropriate linear combinations of Ishibashi states. Starting from any OSFT solution and assuming Ellwood conjecture we show that every coefficient of such a linear combination is given by an Ellwood invariant,…

We consider the inverse problem of the reconstruction of a Schr\"odinger operator on a unknown Riemannian manifold or a domain of Euclidean space. The data used is a part of the boundary $\Gamma$ and the eigenvalues corresponding to a set…

We review the concepts of the index of a Fredholm operator, the spectral flow of a curve of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, the Maslov index of a curve of Lagrangian subspaces in symplectic Hilbert space, and the eta invariant of operators…

We consider the index of a Dirac operator on a compact even dimensional manifold with a domain wall. The latter is defined as a co-dimension one submanifold where the connection jumps. We formulate and prove an analog of the…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study and classification of invariant affine or metric connections on certain classes of naturally reductive spaces. For any non-symmetric, effective, strongly isotropy irreducible homogeneous…

We use the hyperK\"aler geometry define an disc-counting invariants with deformable boundary condition on hyperK\"ahler manifolds. Unlike the reduced Gromov-Witten invariants, these invariants can have non-trivial wall-crossing phenomenon…

In this paper we study absence of embedded eigenvalues for Schr\"odinger operators on non-compact connected Riemannian manifolds. A principal example is given by a manifold with an end (possibly more than one) in which geodesic coordinates…

In this paper, we define contact invariants in bordered sutured Floer homology. Given a contact 3-manifold with convex boundary, we apply a result of Zarev (arxiv:1010.3496) to derive contact invariants in the bordered sutured modules…

In his book (II.5), Connes gives a proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for closed manifolds by using deformation groupoids and appropiate actions of these on R^N. Following these ideas, we prove an index theorem for manifolds with…

We derive a vector generalization of the curvature-corrected Cram\'er--Rao bound (CRB) in the nonasymptotic regime using a Hilbert space square-root embedding. Building on previous scalar results, we establish a \emph{directional} curvature…

At finite $N$ the ring of gauge invariant operators is not freely generated. For problems of interest in physics, these rings are Cohen--Macaulay and admit a Hironaka decomposition, in which the full invariant ring is a free module over a…

Varying the gravitational Lagrangian produces a boundary contribution that has various physical applications. It determines the right boundary terms to be added to the action once boundary conditions are specified, and defines the…
