Jacobi—Nijenhuis manifolds and compatible Jacobi structures

1999

Abstract We propose a definition of Jacobi—Nijenhuis structures, that includes the Poisson—Nijenhuis structures as a particular case. The existence of a hierarchy of compatible Jacobi structures on a Jacobi—Nijenhuis manifold is also obtained.

Frobenius polynomials for Calabi–Yau equations

2008

We describe a variation of Dwork’ s unit-root method to determine the degree 4 Frobenius polynomial for members of a 1-modulus Calabi–Yau family over P1 in terms of the holomorphic period near a point of maximal unipotent monodromy. The method is illustrated on a couple of examples from the list [3]. For singular points, we find that the Frobenius polynomial splits in a product of two linear factors and a quadratic part 1− apT + p3T 2. We identify weight 4 modular forms which reproduce the ap as Fourier coefficients.

Bounds for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue attained at an infinite family of Riemannian manifolds

1996

LetM be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary ∂M. We get bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem onM in terms of bounds of the sectional curvature ofM and the normal curvatures of ∂M. We discuss the equality, which is attained precisely on certain model spaces defined by J. H. Eschenburg. We also get analog results for Kahler manifolds. We show how the same technique gives comparison theorems for the quotient volume(P)/volume(M),M being a compact Riemannian or Kahler manifold andP being a compact real hypersurface ofM.

The Poisson embedding approach to the Calderón problem

2020

We introduce a new approach to the anisotropic Calder\'on problem, based on a map called Poisson embedding that identifies the points of a Riemannian manifold with distributions on its boundary. We give a new uniqueness result for a large class of Calder\'on type inverse problems for quasilinear equations in the real analytic case. The approach also leads to a new proof of the result by Lassas and Uhlmann (2001) solving the Calder\'on problem on real analytic Riemannian manifolds. The proof uses the Poisson embedding to determine the harmonic functions in the manifold up to a harmonic morphism. The method also involves various Runge approximation results for linear elliptic equations.

Bifurcation and multiplicity results for nonlinear elliptic problems involving critical Sobolev exponents

1984

Abstract In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the boundary value problem { − Δ u − λ u − u | u | 2 ⁎ − 2 = 0 in Ω u = 0 on ∂ Ω when Ω⊂Rn is a bounded domain, n ⩾ 3, 2 ⁎ = 2 n ( n − 2 ) is the critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding H 0 1 ( Ω ) ⊂ L p ( Ω ) , λ is a real parameter. We prove that there is bifurcation from any eigenvalue λj of − Δ and we give an estimate of the left neighbourhoods ] λ j ⁎ , λj] of λj, j∈N, in which the bifurcation branch can be extended. Moreover we prove that, if λ ∈ ] λ j ⁎ , λj[, the number of nontrivial solutions is at least twice the multiplicity of λj. The same kind of results holds also when Ω is a compact Riemannian manif…

The classification of 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri spaces revisited

2007

Abstract In this short note we correct the (incomplete) classification theorem from [F. Podesta, A. Spiro, Four-dimensional Einstein-like manifolds and curvature homogeneity, Geom. Dedicata 54 (1995) 225–243], we improve a result from [P. Bueken, L. Vanhecke, Three- and four-dimensional Einstein-like manifolds and homogeneity, Geom. Dedicata 75 (1999) 123–136] and we announce the final solution of the classification problem for 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri spaces.

Generic Properties of Dynamical Systems

2006

The state of a concrete system (from physics, chemistry, ecology, or other sciences) is described using (finitely many, say n) observable quantities (e.g., positions and velocities for mechanical systems, population densities for echological systems, etc.). Hence, the state of a system may be represented as a point $x$ in a geometrical space $\mathbb R^n$. In many cases, the quantities describing the state are related, so that the phase space (space of all possible states) is a submanifold $M\subset \mathbb R^n$. The time evolution of the system is represented by a curve $x_t$, $t \in\mathbb R$ drawn on the phase space $M$, or by a sequence $x_n \in M$, $n \in\mathbb Z$, if we consider disc…

Quantum moment maps and invariants for G-invariant star products

2002

We study a quantum moment map and propose an invariant for $G$-invariant star products on a $G$-transitive symplectic manifold. We start by describing a new method to construct a quantum moment map for $G$-invariant star products of Fedosov type. We use it to obtain an invariant that is invariant under $G$-equivalence. In the last section we give two simple examples of such invariants, which involve non-classical terms and provide new insights into the classification of $G$-invariant star products.
