L-invariants of locally symmetric spaces
Let X = G/K be a Riemannian symmetric space of the noncompact type, Γ ⊂ G a discrete, torsion-free, cocompact subgroup, and let Y = Γ\X be the corresponding locally symmetric space. In this paper we explain how the Harish-Chandra Plancherel Theorem for L(G) and results on (g,K)-cohomology can be used in order to compute the L-Betti numbers, the Novikov-Shubin invariants, and the L-torsion of Y ...
متن کاملRemarks on Chern–simons Invariants
The perturbative Chern–Simons theory is studied in a finite-dimensional version or assuming that the propagator satisfies certain properties (as is the case, e.g., with the propagator defined by Axelrod and Singer). It turns out that the effective BV action is a function on cohomology (with shifted degrees) that solves the quantum master equation and is defined modulo certain canonical transfor...
متن کاملProblems for Chern - Simons Invariants
This paper makes certain observations regarding some conjectures of Milnor and Ramakrishnan in hyperbolic geometry and algebraic K-theory. As a consequence of our observations, we obtain new results and conjectures regarding the rationality and irrationality of Chern-Simons invariants of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, by a hyperbolic 3-manifold, we shall mean a complete, oriented hyperb...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Coefficients for Chern-Simons Boundary Conditions in QED
We consider the four dimensional Euclidean Maxwell theory with a Chern–Simons term on the boundary. The corresponding gauge invariant boundary conditions become dependent on tangential derivatives. Taking the four-sphere as a particular example, we calculate explicitly a number of the first heat kernel coefficients and obtain the general formulas that yields any desired coefficient. A remarkabl...
متن کاملSymmetric Chern-simons-higgs Vortices
We prove the existence of radially symmetric vortices of the static nonselfdual Chern-Simons-Higgs equations with and without magnetic field in dimension 2. The vortex profiles are shown to be monotonically increasing and bounded. For a given vorticity n, when there is no magnetic field we prove that the n-vortices are stable for n = 0,±1.
