The moduli space of isometry classes of Riemannian structures on a smooth manifold was emphasized by J.A.Wheeler in his superspace formalism of quantum gravity. A natural question concerning it is: What is a natural topology on such moduli…

In a class of inner product H\"ormander spaces, we investigate a general elliptic problem for which the maximum of orders of boundary conditions is grater than or equal to the order of elliptic equation. The order of regularity for these…

We deal here with the geometry of the twistor fibration $\mathcal{Z} \to \bb{S}^3_1$ over the De Sitter 3-space. The total space $\mathcal{Z}$ is a five dimensional reductive homogeneous space with two canonical invariant almost CR…

We introduce a simple procedure to integrate differential forms with arbitrary holomorphic poles on Riemann surfaces. It gives rise to an intrinsic regularization of such singular integrals in terms of the underlying conformal geometry.…

We prove the Fredholm alternative for a class of two-dimensional first-order hyperbolic systems with periodic-Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our approach is based on a regularization via a right parametrix.
