The spectrum (of the Dirichlet Laplacian) of non-compact, non-complete Riemannian manifolds is much less understood than their compact counterparts. In particular it is often not even known whether such a manifold has any discrete spectra. In this article, we will prove that a certain type of non-compact, non-complete manifold called the quantum tube has non-empty discrete spectrum. The quantum...

Resonance asymptotics for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with warped-product ends By Pascal Philipp We study the spectral theory of asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with ends of warped-product type. Our main result is an upper bound on the resonance counting function, with a geometric constant expressed in terms of the respective Weyl constants for the core of the manifold and the base ...

• Topology of G/T : Flag manifolds G/T have cohomology only in even degrees, with Euler characteristic the degree of the Weyl group. The Euler characteristic can be calculated by a Lefschetz fixed point argument (see Adams [1], pgs. 90-92 for this). Identifying the flag manifold with a co-adjoint orbit, there is a Morse theory calulation of the cohomology that goes back to Bott, for an outline ...

We first introduce the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal formalism for a theory whose phase-space is an arbitrary Lie algebra. We also generalize to quantum Lie algebras and to supersymmetric theories. It turns out that the non-commutativity leads to a deformation of the classical phase-space: instead of being a vector space it becomes a manifold, the topology of which is given by the commutator relations. It ...

Applying the methods developed in [3], in [4] we have constructed generalized CS attached to the Jacobi group G1 = H1 oSU(1, 1), based on the homogeneous Kähler manifold D 1 = H1/R × SU(1, 1)/U(1) = C 1 × D1. Here D1 denotes the unit disk D1 = {w ∈ C ; |w| < 1}, and Hn is the (2n + 1)-dimensional real Heisenberg-Weyl group with Lie algebra hn. In [4] we have also emphasized that, when expressed...

Let M be a four-dimensional orientable manifold equipped with a Minkowski type metric g and with a polarization. In general relativity such a manifoldM is used as a stage for all physical phenomena. When describing the spin phenomenon M is additionally assumed to be a spin manifold. In this case it admits two spinor bundles: the bundle of Weyl spinors SM and the bundle of Dirac spinors DM (see ...

We study the quotient of a completion of a symmetric variety G/H under the action of H . We prove that this is isomorphic to the closure of the image of an isotropic torus under the action of the restricted Weyl group. In the case the completion is smooth and toroidal we describe the set of semistable points. 2000 Math. Subj. Class. 14L30, 14L24, 14M17.

We define integrable, big-isotropic structures on a manifold M as subbundles E ⊆ T M ⊕ T * M that are isotropic with respect to the natural, neutral metric (pairing) g of T M ⊕ T * M and are closed by Courant brackets (this also implies that [E, E ⊥g ] ⊆ E ⊥g). We give the interpretation of such a structure by objects of M , we discuss the local geometry of the structure and we give a reduction...
