TANGENTIAL DEFORMATIONS ON FIBRED POISSON MANIFOLDS
2005
In a recent article, Cattaneo, Felder and Tomassini explained how the notion of formality can be used to construct flat Fedosov connections on formal vector bundles on a Poisson manifold $M$ and thus a star product on $M$ through the original Fedosov method for symplectic manifolds. In this paper, we suppose that $M$ is a fibre bundle manifold equipped with a Poisson tensor tangential to the fibers. We show that in this case the construction of Cattaneo-Felder- Tomassini gives tangential (to the fibers) star products.
Approximation of functions over manifolds : A Moving Least-Squares approach
2021
We present an algorithm for approximating a function defined over a $d$-dimensional manifold utilizing only noisy function values at locations sampled from the manifold with noise. To produce the approximation we do not require any knowledge regarding the manifold other than its dimension $d$. We use the Manifold Moving Least-Squares approach of (Sober and Levin 2016) to reconstruct the atlas of charts and the approximation is built on-top of those charts. The resulting approximant is shown to be a function defined over a neighborhood of a manifold, approximating the originally sampled manifold. In other words, given a new point, located near the manifold, the approximation can be evaluated…
Reilly's type inequality for the Laplacian associated to a density related with shrinkers for MCF
2015
Let $(\bar{M},,e^\psi)$ be a Riemannian manifold with a density, and let $M$ be a closed $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\bar{M}$ with the induced metric and density. We give an upper bound on the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the closed eigenvalue problem for $\Delta_\psi$ (the Laplacian on $M$ associated to the density) in terms of the average of the norm of the vector ${\vec{H}}_{{\psi}} + {\bar \nabla}$ with respect to the volume form induced by the density, where ${\vec{H}}_{{\psi}}$ is the mean curvature of $M$ associated to the density $e^\psi$. When $\bar{M}=\Bbb R^{n+k}$ or $\bar{M}=S^{n+k-1}$, the equality between $\lambda_1$ and its bound implies that $e^\psi$ is a Gaussian den…
Harnack estimates for degenerate parabolic equations modeled on the subelliptic $p-$Laplacian
2014
Abstract We establish a Harnack inequality for a class of quasi-linear PDE modeled on the prototype ∂ t u = − ∑ i = 1 m X i ⁎ ( | X u | p − 2 X i u ) where p ⩾ 2 , X = ( X 1 , … , X m ) is a system of Lipschitz vector fields defined on a smooth manifold M endowed with a Borel measure μ, and X i ⁎ denotes the adjoint of X i with respect to μ. Our estimates are derived assuming that (i) the control distance d generated by X induces the same topology on M ; (ii) a doubling condition for the μ-measure of d-metric balls; and (iii) the validity of a Poincare inequality involving X and μ. Our results extend the recent work in [16] , [36] , to a more general setting including the model cases of (1)…
Weyl Asymptotics for the Damped Wave Equation
2019
The damped wave equation is closely related to non-self-adjoint perturbations of a self-adjoint operator P of the form $$\displaystyle P_\epsilon =P+i\epsilon Q. $$ Here, P is a semi-classical pseudodifferential operator of order 0 on L2(X), where we consider two cases: X = Rn and P has the symbol P ∼ p(x, ξ) + hp1(x, ξ) + ⋯ . in S(m), as in Sect. 6.1, where the description is valid also in the case n > 1. We assume for simplicity that the order function m(x, ξ) tends to + ∞, when (x, ξ) tends to ∞. We also assume that P is formally self-adjoint. Then by elliptic theory (and the ellipticity assumption on P) we know that P is essentially self-adjoint with purely discrete spectrum. X is a com…
