For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators ‘acting on sections of the bundle’ in a formal sense. In particular any oriented even-dimensional manifold carries a projective spin Dirac operator in this sense. More generally the corresponding space of pseudodiffere...

in this paper we show that if q is a power of a prime p , then the projective special linear group psl(2, q) and the stabilizer of a point of the projective line have maximum sum element orders among all proper subgroups of projective general linear group pgl(2, q) for q odd and even respectively

Given a transversely projective foliation F on a C∞ manifold M and a nonnegative integer k, a transversal differential operator DF (2k + 1) of order 2k + 1 from N⊗k to N⊗(−k−1) is constructed, where N denotes the normal bundle for the foliation. There is a natural homomorphism from the space of all infinitesimal deformations of the transversely projective foliation F to the first cohomology of ...

Abstract. In this paper we consider eigenvalues of Schrödinger operator with a weight on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and prove a general inequality for them. By using this inequality, we study eigenvalues of Schrödinger operator with a weight on compact domains in a unit sphere, a complex projective space and a minimal submanifold in a Euclidean space. We also st...

A Banach space E has the Grothendieck property if every (linear bounded) operator from E into c0 is weakly compact. It is proved that, for an integer k > 1, every k-homogeneous polynomial from E into c0 is weakly compact if and only if the space P(kE) of scalar valued polynomials on E is reflexive. This is equivalent to the symmetric k-fold projective tensor product of E (i.e., the predual of P...

Evaluators and researchers often have to deal with situations in which conventional research tools are impossible to use, either because of the characteristics of a population or unclear research variables. This paper presents a technique that succeeds in overcoming this kind of problem--a projective technique, but one that differs from the usual approach to projective techniques. The approach ...

During recent years, several studies have revealed that human-dog relationships are based on a well-established and complex bond. There is now evidence suggesting that the dog-human affectional bond can be characterized as an "attachment". The present study investigated possible association between the owners' attachment profile assessed throughout a new semi-projective test (the 9 Attachment P...

Abstract In this paper we consider the lower order eigenvalues of biharmonic operator on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and prove a type of general inequalities for them. In particular, we study the lower order eigenvalues of biharmonic operator on compact submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of projective spaces. We obtain some estimates for lower orde...
