Let D be a vector bundle-valued diierential operator with positive deenite leading symbol on a compact, Riemannian manifold. Asymptotic expansions of the kernel function and L 2 trace of the heat operator e ?tD , t > 0, naturally lead to sequences of homogeneous local and global scalar invariants a n (x; D), a n (D) R a n (x; D), n 2 N. Within each ho-mogeneity class of local invariants, there ...

The well-known symmetric rank-one trust-region method—where the Hessian approximation is generated by the symmetric rank-one update—is generalized to the problem of minimizing a real-valued function over a d-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The generalization relies on basic differential-geometric concepts, such as tangent spaces, Riemannian metrics, and the Riemannian gradient, as well as on t...

The notion of monotonic independence, introduced by N. Muraki, is considered in a more general frame, similar to the construction of operatorvalued free probability. The paper presents constructions for maps with similar properties to the H and K transforms from the literature, semi inner-product bimodule analogues for the monotone and weakly monotone product of Hilbert spaces, an ad-hoc versio...

Motivated by the strong maximum principle for Paneitz operator in dimension 5 or higher found in [GM] and the calculation of the second variation of the Green’s function pole’s value on S3 in [HY2], we study Riemannian metric on 3 manifolds with positive scalar and Q curvature. Among other things, we show it is always possible to …nd a constant Q curvature metric in the conformal class. Moreove...

In this paper, we define the almost uniform convergence and the almost everywhere convergence for cone-valued functions with respect to an operator valued measure. We prove the Egoroff theorem for Pvalued functions and operator valued measure θ : R → L(P, Q), where R is a σ-ring of subsets of X≠ ∅, (P, V) is a quasi-full locally convex cone and (Q, W) is a locally ...

We prove a semi-Riemannian version of the celebrated Morse Index Theorem for geodesics in semi-Riemannian manifolds; we consider the general case of both endpoints variable on two submanifolds. The key role of the theory is played by the notion of the Maslov index of a semi-Riemannian geodesic, which is a homological invariant and it substitutes the notion of geometric index in Riemannian geome...

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold endowed with an isometric action of a compact, connected Lie group. The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first order differential operator on M. The multiplicities of irreducible representations in the index are expressed in terms of local quantities associa...

we study connected orientable spacelike hypersurfaces $x:m^{n}rightarrowm_q^{n+1}(c)$, isometrically immersed into the riemannian or lorentzian space form of curvature $c=-1,0,1$, and index $q=0,1$, satisfying the condition $~l_kx=ax+b$,~ where $l_k$ is the $textit{linearized operator}$ of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature $h_{k+1}$ of the hypersurface for a fixed integer $0leq k
