A trace formula for foliated flows via adiabatic limits
نویسنده
چکیده
Let F be a C∞ foliation of codimension one on a closed manifold M , and let φ be a foliated flow on (M,F). The subbundle of vectors tangent to the leaves will be denoted by TF ⊂ TM . Suppose that each fixed point x of φ is non-degenerate in the sense that the map 1 − Txφ : TxM → TxM is an isomorphism. Thus the fixed point set of φ is finite. For each fixed point x, there is some real number κx 6= 0 such that the map TxM/TxF → TxM/TxF induced by Txφ is multiplication by ex, and the sign of the determinant of 1−Txφ : TxF → TxF will be denoted by x. For simplicity, suppose that φ has no periodic orbits different from fixed points. Now, pick any riemannian metric g on M , which may not be bundle-like (F may not be given by riemannian submersions). Consider the decomposition g = g⊥ ⊕ gF according to the decomposition TM = TF⊥ ⊕ TF . We can also consider the family of metrics gh = h g⊥ ⊕ gF for h > 0, whose limit as h → 0 is called the adiabatic limit. Observe that the local distance between the leaves blows up at the adiabatic limit.

Adiabatic Limits and Foliations
We use adiabatic limits to study foliated manifolds. The Bott connection naturally shows up as the adiabatic limit of Levi-Civita connections. As an application, we then construct certain natural elliptic operators associated to the foliation and present a direct geometric proof of a vanshing theorem of Connes[Co], which extends the Lichnerowicz vanishing theorem [L] to foliated manifolds with ...
متن کاملThe trace formula for transversally elliptic operators on Riemannian foliations
The main goal of the paper is to generalize the Duistermaat-Guillemin trace formula to the case of transversally elliptic operators on a compact foliated manifold. First, let us recall briefly the setting of the classical formula. Let P be a positive self-adjoint elliptic pseudodifferential operator of order one on a closed manifold M (for example, P = √ ∆, where ∆ is the Laplace-Beltrami opera...
متن کاملAdiabatic limits and spectral geometry of foliations
Let (M, F) be a closed foliated manifold, dimM = n, dimF = p, p+q = n, equipped with a Riemannian metric gM . We assume that the foliation F is Riemannian, and the metric gM is bundle-like. Let F = TF be the integrable distribution of tangent p-planes to F , and H = F⊥ be the orthogonal complement to F . The decomposition of TM into a direct sum, TM = F ⊕ H , induces a decomposition of the metr...
متن کاملVillarceau foliated solitons in the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model
We obtain the complete space of solutions, in the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which are foliated by Villarceau circles. In particular, we prove the existence of solitons that admit a foliation by nonparallel circles. This contrasts with the Plateau context, where solitons foliated by nonparallel circles cannot exist. These solitons carry topological charges that are holographica...
متن کاملCut-and-paste on Foliated Bundles
We discuss the behaviour of the signature index class of closed foliated bundles under the operation of cutting and pasting. Along the way we establish several index theoretic results: we define Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (≡ APS) index classes for Dirac-type operators on foliated bundles with boundary; we prove a relative index theorem for the difference of two APS-index classes associated to differe...
