We study the integral expression of a knot invariant obtained as the second coefficient in the perturbative expansion of Witten’s Chern-Simons path integral associated with a knot. One of the integrals involved turns out to be a generalization of the classical Crofton integral on convex plane curves and it is related with invariants of generic plane curves defined by Arnold recently with deep m...

For an asymptotically hyperbolic metric on the interior of a compact manifold with boundary, we prove that the resolvent and scattering operators are continuous functions of the metric in the appropriate topologies.

Comparisons on L n 2-norms of scalar curvatures between Riemannian metrics and standard metrics are obtained. The metrics are restricted to conformal classes or under certain curvature conditions.

We consider the problem of whether it is possible to improve the Novikov inequalities for closed 1-forms, or any other inequalities of a similar nature, if we assume, additionally, that the given 1-form is harmonic with respect to some Riemannian metric. We show that, under suitable assumptions, it is impossible. We use a theorem of E.Calabi [C], characterizing 1-forms which are harmonic with r...

We define canonical subshift of finite type cover for Williams' 1-dimensional generalized solenoids, and use resulting invariants to distinguish some closely related solenoids.
