چکیده

We give a topological interpretation of the space of L2-harmonic forms on Manifold with flat ends. It is an answer to an old question of J. Dodziuk. We also give a Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula for the L2-Euler characteristic of some of these Manifolds. These results are applications of general theorems on complete Riemannian Manifold whose Gauss-Bonnet operator is nonparabolic at infinity. Résumé: Nous donnons une interprétation topologique des espaces de formes harmoniques L d’une variété riemannienne complète plate l’infini. Ceci répond une question posée par J. Dodziuk. Nous obtenons aussi une formule de Chern-Gauss-Bonnet pour la caractéristique d’Euler L de certaines de ces variétés. Ces résultats sont des conséquences de théorèmes généraux sur les variétés riemanniennes complètes dont l’opérateur de Gauss-Bonnet est non-parabolique l’infini.

Ring structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them

In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...

1 99 6 Twisted L 2 Invariants of Non - Simply Connected Manifolds and Asymptotic L 2 Morse Inequalities

We develop the theory of twisted L-cohomology and twisted spectral invariants for flat Hilbertian bundles over compact manifolds. They can be viewed as functions on H(M, R) and they generalize the standard notions. A new feature of the twisted L-cohomology theory is that in addition to satisfying the standard L Morse inequalities, they also satisfy certain asymptotic L Morse inequalities. These...

Low dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric

Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.

On the Cohomology Ring of Flat Manifolds with a Special Structure

A Riemannian manifold is said to be Kähler if the holonomy group is contained in U(n). It is quaternion Kähler if the holonomy group is contained in Sp(n)Sp(1). It is known that quaternion Kähler manifolds of dimension ≥ 8 are Einstein, so the scalar curvature s splits these manifolds according to whether s > 0, s = 0 or s < 0. Ricci flat quaternion Kähler manifolds include hyperkähler manifold...
