Superconnections and an intrinsic Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for Finsler manifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we establish an intrinsic Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for Finsler manifolds by using the Mathai-Quillen’s superconnection formalism, in which no extra vector field is involved. Furthermore, prove a more general Lichnerowicz direction through geometric localization procedure.

A Stochastic Gauss-bonnet-chern Formula
We prove that a Gaussian ensemble of smooth random sections of a real vector bundle E over compact manifold M canonically defines a metric on E together with a connection compatible with it. Additionally, we prove a refined Gauss-Bonnet theorem stating that if the bundle E and the manifold M are oriented, then the Euler form of the above connection can be identified, as a current, with the expe...
متن کاملThe Gauss-Bonnet-Chern Theorem on Riemannian Manifolds
This expository paper contains a detailed introduction to some important works concerning the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem. The study of this theorem has a long history dating back to Gauss’s Theorema Egregium (Latin: Remarkable Theorem) and culminated in Chern’s groundbreaking work [14] in 1944, which is a deep and wonderful application of Elie Cartan’s formalism. The idea and tools in [14] have...
متن کاملA graph theoretical Gauss-Bonnet-Chern Theorem
We prove a discrete Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem ∑ g∈V K(g) = χ(G) for finite graphs G = (V,E), where V is the vertex set and E is the edge set of the graph. The dimension of the graph, the local curvature form K and the Euler characteristic are all defined graph theoretically.
متن کاملOn a Conformal Gauss-bonnet-chern Inequality for Lcf Manifolds and Related Topics
In this paper, we prove the following two results: First, we study a class of conformally invariant operators P and their related conformally invariant curvatures Q on even-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. When the manifold is locally conformally flat(LCF) and compact without boundary, Q-curvature is naturally related to the integrand in the classical Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula, i.e., the Pfaf...
