We prove sharp criteria on the behavior of radial curvature for the existence of asymptotically flat or hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with prescribed sets of eigenvalues embedded in the spectrum of the Laplacian. In particular, we…

Based on work of R. Lazarsfeld and M. Popa, we use the derivative complex associated to the bundle of the holomorphic p-forms to provide inequalities for all the Hodge numbers of a special class of irregular compact Kaehler manifolds. For…

Given a group G, we use involutary Hopf G-coalgebras to define a scalar invariant of flat G-bundles over 3-manifolds. When G=1, this invariant equals to the one of 3-manifolds constructed by Kuperberg from involutary Hopf algebras. We give…

We consider the moduli spaces of flat $SL(n, C)$-bundles on Riemann surfaces with one puncture when we fix the conjugacy class ${\cal C}$ of the monodromy transformation around the puncture. We show that under a certain condition on the…

The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…

An oriented compact closed manifold is called inflexible if the set of mapping degrees ranging over all continuous self-maps is finite. Inflexible manifolds have become of importance in the theory of functorial semi-norms on homology.…

Let M be an almost complex manifold equipped with a Hermitian form such that its de Rham differential has Hodge type (3,0)+(0,3), for example a nearly Kahler manifold. We prove that any connected component of the moduli space of…

We construct integrable holomorphic G-structures and flat holomorphic Cartan geometries on every complex Hopf manifold, without using the normal forms given by the Poincar\'e-Dulac Theorem. We provide a new proof of the latter using charts…

In this paper we introduce the new notion of complex isoparametric functions on Riemannian manifolds. These are then employed to devise a general method for constructing proper $p$-harmonic functions. We then apply this to construct the…

Given a $(m-2)$-form $\zw$ and a volume form $\zW$ on a $m$-manifold one defines a bi-vector $\zL$ by setting $\zL(\za,\zb)={\frac {\za\zex\zb\zex\zw} {\zW}}$ for any $1$-forms $\za,\zb$. In this way, locally, a Poisson pair, or…

We generalize Sunada's method to produce new examples of closed, locally non-isometric manifolds which are isospectral. In particular, we produce pairs of isospectral, simply-connected, locally non-isometric normal homogeneous spaces. These…

We prove the existence of multiparameter isospectral deformations of metrics on SO(n) $(n = 9$ and $n\geq 11)$, SU(n) $(n\geq 8)$, and $Sp(n)$ $(n\geq 4)$. For these examples, we follow a metric construction developed by Schueth who had…

We study flat bands of periodic graphs in a Euclidean space. These are infinitely degenerate eigenvalues of the corresponding adjacency matrix, with eigenvectors of compact support. We provide some optimal recipes to generate desired bands,…

Let (M,I, \omega, \Omega) be a nearly Kaehler 6-manifold, that is, an SU(3)-manifold with the (3,0)-form \Omega and the Hermitian form \omega which satisfies $d\omega=3\lambda\Re\Omega, d\Im\Omega=-2\lambda\omega^2$, for a non-zero real…

In this paper, we introduce Steklov and Neumann isocapacitary constants for the $p$-Laplacian on compact manifolds. These constants yield two-sided bounds for the $(p,\alpha)$-Sobolev constants, which degenerate to upper and lower bounds…

For an orbifold M we define a homology group, called t-singular homology group t-H_q(M), which depends not only on the topological structure of the underlying space of M, but also on the orbifold structure of M. We prove that it is a…

A well-known question asks whether the spectrum of the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ determines the Riemannian metric $g$ up to isometry. A similar question is whether the energy spectrum of all harmonic maps from a given…

We give a sufficient condition for a metric (homology) manifold to be locally bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an open subset in $\rn$. The condition is a Sobolev condition for a measurable coframe of flat 1-forms. In combination with an earlier…

We construct a Laplace isospectral deformation of metrics on an orbifold quotient of a nilmanifold. Each orbifold in the deformation contains singular points with order two isotropy. Isospectrality is obtained by modifying a generalization…

Differential forms on the Fr\'echet manifold F(S,M) of smooth functions on a compact k-dimensional manifold S can be obtained in a natural way from pairs of differential forms on M and S by the hat pairing. Special cases are the…
