In the present paper we start the systematic explicit construction of invariant differential operators by giving explicit description of one of the main ingredients - the cuspidal parabolic subalgebras. We explicate also the maximal…
Let (M,g) be a complete noncompact riemannian manifold with bounded geometry and parallel Ricci curvature. We show that some operators, "affine" relatively to the Ricci curvature, are locally invertible, in some classical Sobolev spaces,…
The isomorphism between the reduction algebra and the invariant differential operators on G/H is sketched.
We provide a general framework to study invariant properties of various gradient-like and Laplace-like differential operators naturally associated to geometric structures on $\mathbb{R}^n$, which encompass Euclidean, Minkowski,…
New universal invariant operators are introduced in a class of geometries which include the quaternionic structures and their generalisations as well as 4-dimensional conformal (spin) geometries. It is shown that, in a broad sense, all…
We define the Ricci curvature on simplicial complexes by modifying the definition of the Ricci curvature on graphs, and we prove the upper and lower bounds of the Ricci curvature. These properties are generalizations of previous studies.…
We discuss in which sense general metric measure spaces possess a first order differential structure. Building on this, we then see that on spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below a second order calculus can be developed, permitting…
In this article, we investigate differential operators on the Siegel-Jacobi space that are invariant under the natural action of the Jacobi group. These invariant differential operators play an important role in the arithmetic theory of…
In this thesis, we show the existence of a sequence of differential operators starting with with the Dirac operator in k Clifford variables, $D=(D_1,..., D_k)$, where $D_i=\sum_j e_j\cdot \partial_{ij}: C^\infty((\R^n)^k,\S)\to…
A new Combinatorial Ricci curvature and Laplacian operators for grayscale images are introduced and tested on 2D synthetic, natural and medical images. Analogue formulae for voxels are also obtained. These notions are based upon more…
Ricci curvature is a fundamental concept in differential geometry for encoding local geometric structure, and its graph-based analogues have recently gained prominence as practical tools for reweighting, pruning, and reshaping network…
We study the variation of a smooth volume form along extremals of a variational problem with nonholonomic constraints and an action-like Lagrangian. We introduce a new invariant describing the interaction of the volume with the dynamics and…
The k-Dirac operator is a differential operator which is natural to geometric structure of a parabolic type. We will give a set of initial conditions for this operator. In the proof of the claim we will need to adapt some parts from the…
We construct new families of conformally invariant differential operators acting on densities. We introduce a simple, direct approach which shows that all such operators arise via this construction when the degree is bounded by the…
We consider gradient Ricci solitons conformal to a $n$-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space and we completely describe the most general ansatz that reduces the resulting system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary…
We present a construction of a large class of Laplace invariants for linear hyperbolic partial differential operators of fairly general form and arbitrary order.
Let $X$ be a Riemann surface equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution $\sigma_X$. We show that this induces a natural anti-holomorphic involution on the space of parabolic $\mathrm{SL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-opers. The fixed-point locus of this…
We obtain certain inequalities involving several intrinsic invariants namely scalar curvature, Ricci curvature and $k$-Ricci curvature, and main extrinsic invariant namely squared mean curvature for submanifolds in a locally conformal…
B Wilking has recently shown that one can associate a Ricci flow invariant cone of curvature operators $C(S)$, which are nonnegative in a suitable sense, to every $Ad_{SO(n,\C)}$ invariant subset $S \subset {\bf so}(n,\C)$. For curvature…
We review the main aspects of Ricci flows as they arise in physics and mathematics. In field theory they describe the renormalization group equations of the target space metric of two dimensional sigma models to lowest order in the…
