Harmonic forms on manifolds with edges

چکیده
Let (X, g) be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various polynomially weighted de Rham cohomology spaces of X , as well as the associated spaces of harmonic forms. In the unweighted case, this is closely related to recent work of Cheeger and Dai [5]. Because the metric g is incomplete, this requires a consideration of the various choices of ideal boundary conditions at the singular set. We also calculate the space of L harmonic forms for any complete edge metric on the regular part of X .

On Products of Harmonic Forms
We prove that manifolds admitting a Riemannian metric for which products of harmonic forms are harmonic satisfy strong topological restrictions, some of which are akin to properties of flat manifolds. Others are more subtle, and are related to symplectic geometry and Seiberg-Witten theory. We also prove that a manifold admits a metric with harmonic forms whose product is not harmonic if and onl...
متن کاملHyperbolic Manifolds, Harmonic Forms, and Seiberg-Witten Invariants
New estimates are derived concerning the behavior of self-dual hamonic 2-forms on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold with non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariants. Applications include a vanishing theorem for certain Seiberg-Witten invariants on compact 4-manifolds of constant negative sectional curvature.
متن کاملOn the harmonic index and harmonic polynomial of Caterpillars with diameter four
The harmonic index H(G) , of a graph G is defined as the sum of weights 2/(deg(u)+deg(v)) of all edges in E(G), where deg (u) denotes the degree of a vertex u in V(G). In this paper we define the harmonic polynomial of G. We present explicit formula for the values of harmonic polynomial for several families of specific graphs and we find the lower and upper bound for harmonic index in Caterpill...
متن کاملThe Classification of Harmonic Morphisms to Euclidean Space
Harmonic morphism is a smooth map between Riemannian manifolds which pulls back germs of harmonic functions to germs of harmonic functions. It may be charactrized as harmonic maps which are horizontally weakly conformal [5,9]. One task of studying harmonic morphism is constructing concrete examples; Another one is classification of all harmonic morphisms between all special manifolds (in partic...
