We study invariant systems of PDEs defining Killing vector-valued forms, and then we specialize to Killing spinor-valued forms. We give a detailed treatment of their prolongation and integrability conditions by relating the point-wise values of solutions to the curvature of the underlying manifold. As an example, we completely solve the equations on model spaces of constant curvature producing brand new solutions which do not come from the tensor product of Killing spinors and Killing-Yano forms.
In this paper we introduce, in the Riemannian setting, the notion of conformal Ricci soliton, which includes as particular cases Einstein manifolds, conformal Einstein manifolds and (generic and gradient) Ricci solitons. We provide here some necessary integrability conditions for the existence of these structures that also recover, in the corresponding contexts, those already known in the literature for conformally Einstein manifolds and for gradient Ricci solitons. A crucial tool in our analysis is the construction of some appropriate and highly nontrivial $(0,3)$-tensors related to the geometric structures, that in the special case of gradient Ricci solitons become the celebrated tensor $D$ recently introduced by Cao and Chen. A significant part of our investigation, which has independent interest, is the derivation of a number of commutation rules for covariant derivatives (of functions and tensors) and of transformation laws of some geometric objects under a conformal change of the underlying metric.
A differential 1-form $alpha$ on a manifold of odd dimension $2n+1$, which satisfies the contact condition $alpha wedge (dalpha)^n eq 0$ almost everywhere, but which vanishes at a point $O$, i.e. $alpha (O) = 0$, is called a textit{singular contact form} at $O$. The aim of this paper is to study local normal forms (formal, analytic and smooth) of such singular contact forms. Our study leads naturally to the study of normal forms of singular primitive 1-forms of a symplectic form $omega$ in dimension $2n$, i.e. differential 1-forms $gamma$ which vanish at a point and such that $dgamma = omega$, and their corresponding conformal vector fields. Our results are an extension and improvement of previous results obtained by other authors, in particular Lychagin cite{Lychagin-1stOrder1975}, Webster cite{Webster-1stOrder1987} and Zhitomirskii cite{Zhito-1Form1986,Zhito-1Form1992}. We make use of both the classical normalization techniques and the toric approach to the normalization problem for dynamical systems cite{Zung_Birkhoff2005, Zung_Integrable2016, Zung_AA2018}.
We investigate the collapsing geometry of hyperkaehler 4-manifolds. As applications we prove two well-known conjectures in the field. (1) Any collapsed limit of unit-diameter hyperkaehler metrics on the K3 manifold is isometric to one of the following: the quotient of a flat 3-torus by an involution, a singular special Kaehler metric on the 2-sphere, or the unit interval. (2) Any complete hyperkaehler 4-manifold with finite energy (i.e., gravitational instanton) is asymptotic to a model end at infinity.
This article discusses dependence on initial conditions in natural and social sciences with focus on physical science. The main focus is on the newly discovered rough dependence on initial data.
We give explicit Fredholm conditions for classes of pseudodifferential operators on suitable singular and non-compact spaces. In particular, we include a users guide to Fredholm conditions on particular classes of manifolds including asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, asymptotically Euclidean (or conic) manifolds, and manifolds with poly-cylindrical ends. The reader interested in applications should be able read right away the results related to those examples, beginning with Section 5. Our general, theoretical results are that an operator adapted to the geometry is Fredholm if, and only if, it is elliptic and all its limit operators, in a sense to be made precise, are invertible. Central to our theoretical results is the concept of a Fredholm groupoid, which is the class of groupoids for which this characterization of the Fredholm condition is valid. We use the notions of exhaustive and strictly spectral families of representations to obtain a general characterization of Fredholm groupoids. In particular, we introduce the class of the so-called groupoids with Exels property as the groupoids for which the regular representations are exhaustive. We show that the class of stratified submersion groupoids has Exels property, where stratified submersion groupoids are defined by glueing fibered pull-backs of bundles of Lie groups. We prove that a stratified submersion groupoid is Fredholm whenever its isotropy groups are amenable. Many groupoids, and hence many pseudodifferential operators appearing in practice, fit into this framework. This fact is explored to yield Fredholm conditions not only in the above mentioned classes, but also on manifolds that are obtained by desingularization or by blow-up of singular sets.
