چکیده
BGG–sequences offer a uniform construction for invariant differential operators for a large class of geometric structures called parabolic geometries. For locally flat geometries, the resulting sequences are complexes, but in general the compositions of the operators in such a sequence are nonzero. In this paper, we show that under appropriate torsion freeness and/or semi–flatness assumptions certain parts of all BGG sequences are complexes. Several examples of structures, including quaternionic structures , hypersurface type CR structures and quaternionic contact structures are discussed in detail. In the case of quaternionic structures we show that several families of complexes obtained in this way are elliptic.

This is an expanded version of a series of two lectures given at the IMA summer program “Symmetries and Overdetermined Systems of Partial Differential Equations”. The main part of the article describes the Riemannian version of the prolongation procedure for certain overdetermined system obtained recently in joint work with T.P. Branson, M.G. Eastwood, and A.R. Gover. First a simple special cas...

We show that the two-time physics model leads to a mechanical system with Dirac brackets consistent with the Snyder noncommutative space. An Euclidean version of this space is also obtained and it is shown that both spaces have a dual system describing a particle in a curved space-time.

We derive several mean value formulae on manifolds, generalizing the classical one for harmonic functions on Euclidean spaces as well as later results of Schoen-Yau, Michael-Simon, etc, on curved Riemannian manifolds. For the heat equation a mean value theorem with respect to ‘heat spheres’ is proved for heat equation with respect to evolving Riemannian metrics via a space-time consideration. S...

We consider the signature reversing transformation of the metric tensor g µν → −g µν induced by the chiral transformation of the curved space gamma matrices γ µ→ γγ µ in spacetimes with signature (S, T), which also induces a (−1) T spacetime orientation reversal. We conclude: (1) It is a symmetry only for chiral theories with S − T = 4k, with k integer. (2) Yang-Mills theories require dimension...
