Analytic Torsion of a Bounded Generalized Cone

The Analytic Torsion of a Cone over a Sphere

We compute the analytic torsion of a cone over a sphere of dimension 1, 2, and 3, and we conjecture a general formula for the cone over an odd dimensional sphere.

Analytic Surgery and Analytic Torsion

Analytic surgery, as defined in [9] and [6], is a one-parameter metric deformation of a Riemannian manifold M , which stretches M across a separating hypersurface H in a cylindrical fashion; the singular limit is a complete manifold with asymptotically cylindrical ends, M . In this paper, the analysis of [9] and [6] is used to study the behaviour of analytic torsion of unitary representations u...

On analytic functions with generalized bounded Mocanu variation

It is well known [28] that a number of important classes of univalent functions (e.g. convex, starlike) are related through their derivatives by functions with positive real part. These functions play an important part in problem from signal theory, in moment problems and in constructing quadrature formulas, see Ronning [97] and the references cited therein for some recent applications. In this...

Quaternionic analytic torsion

We define an (equivariant) quaternionic analytic torsion for antiselfdual vector bundles on quaternionic Kähler manifolds, using ideas by Leung and Yi. We compute this torsion for vector bundles on quaternionic homogeneous spaces with respect to any isometry in the component of the identity, in terms of roots and Weyl groups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C25, 58J52, 53C26, 53C35
