We consider the renormalized Bochner Laplacian acting on tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold. We derive an explicit local formula for the spectral density function in terms of coefficients of the…

Let $(X,T^{1,0}X)$ be a $(2n+1+d)$-dimensional compact CR manifold with codimension $d+1$, $d\geq1$, and let $G$ be a $d$-dimensional compact Lie group with CR action on $X$ and $T$ be a globally defined vector field on $X$ such that…

We establish some important inequalities under a lower weighted Ricci curvature bound on Finsler manifolds. Firstly, we establish a relative volume comparison of Bishop-Gromov type. As one of the applications, we obtain an upper bound for…

An adapted version of the proof (due to A. Weil) of the well-known de Rham Theorem allows us to compare uniformly the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms (on a compact Riemannian manifold) to the spectrum of the…

In this paper, we solve the so-called CR Poincar\'e-Lelong equation by solving the CR Poisson equation on a complete noncompact CR $(2n+1)$-manifold with nonegative pseudohermitian bisectional curvature tensors and vanishing torsion which…

We investigate the topology of the compact submanifolds in round spheres that satisfy a lower bound on the Ricci curvature depending only on the length of the mean curvature vector of the immersion. Just in special cases, the limited…

Let $M$ be a pseudoconvex, oriented, bounded and closed CR submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of hypersurface type. Our main result says that when a certain $1$-form on $M$ is exact on the null space of the Levi form, then the complex Green…

We discuss the problem of classifying all local CR diffeomorphisms of a strictly pseudoconvex surface. Our method exploits the Tanaka--Webster pseudohermitian invariants, their transformation formulae, and the Chern--Moser invariants. Our…

This paper is concerned with proving superlogarithmic estimates for the operator $\Box_b$ on pseudoconvex CR manifolds and using them to establish hypoellipticity of $\Box_b$ and of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem. These estimates are…

B. Y. Chen establish the relationship between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for submanifolds of Riemannian space form with arbitrary codimension. In this paper, we generalize the relationship between the Ricci curvature…

We propose a unified computational framework for the problem of deformation and rigidity of submanifolds in a homogeneous space under geometric constraint. A notion of 1-rigidity of a submanifold under admissible deformations is introduced.…

We study a relative trace formula for a compact Riemann surface with respect to a closed geodesic $C$. This can be expressed as a relation between the period spectrum and the ortholength spectrum of $C$. This provides a new proof of…

We prove a smooth version of the classical Schwarz reflection principle for CR mappings between an abstract CR manifold $M$ and a generic CR manifold embedded in euclidean complex space. As a consequence of our results, we settle a…

We prove an existence theorem for positive solutions to Lichnerowicz-type equations on complete manifolds with boundary and nonlinear Neumann conditions. This kind of nonlinear problems arise quite naturally in the study of solutions for…

Let $X$ be a compact strictly pseudoconvex embeddable CR manifold and let $T_P$ be the Toeplitz operator on $X$ associated with some first order pseudodifferential operator $P$. We consider $\chi_k(T_P)$ the functional calculus of $T_P$ by…

A classical theorem of Bochner asserts that the isometry group of a compact Riemannian manifold with negative Ricci curvature is finite. In this paper we give several extensions of Bochner's theorem by allowing "small" positive Ricci…

We develop a geometric invariant Littlewood-Paley theory for arbitrary tensors on a compact 2 dimensional manifold. We show that all the important features of the classical LP theory survive with estimates which depend only on very limited…

The paper investigates the (non)existence of compact quotients, by a discrete subgroup, of the homogeneous almost-complex strongly-pseudoconvex manifolds disconvered and classified by Gaussier-Sukhov and K.-H. Lee.

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and $M\subset X$ a compact, smooth, pseudoconvex CR manifold of dimension $2n-1$. (Here $n\ge 3$ or, in case $n=2$, it is made the extra assumption that $\dib_b$ has closed range on functions.) Assume that…

For a class of non compact Riemannian manifolds with ends, we give pseudo-differential expansions of bounded functions of the semi-classical Laplacian and study related Lp boundedness properties.
