We prove a Lichnerowicz type lower bound for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on Kahler manifolds. Parallel to the $p = 2$ case, the first eigenvalue lower bound is improved by using a decomposition of the Hessian on Kahler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature.
We give various estimates of the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplace operator on closed Riemannian manifold with integral curvature conditions.
Given a Riemmanian manifold, we provide a new method to compute a sharp upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for the Dirichlet problem on a geodesic ball of radius less than the injectivity radius of the manifold. This upper bound is obtained by transforming the metric tensor into a rotationally symmetric metric tensor that preserves the area of the geodesic spheres. The provided upper bound can be computed using only the area function of the geodesic spheres contained in the geodesic ball and it is sharp in the sense that the first eigenvalue of geodesic ball coincides with our upper bound if and only if the mean curvature pointed inward of each geodesic sphere is a radial function.
We give a new CR invariant treatment of the bigraded Rumin complex and related cohomology groups via differential forms. We also prove related Hodge decomposition theorems. Among many applications, we give a sharp upper bound on the dimension of the Kohn--Rossi groups $H^{0,q}(M^{2n+1})$, $1leq qleq n-1$, of a closed strictly pseudoconvex manifold with a contact form of nonnegative pseudohermitian Ricci curvature; we prove a sharp CR analogue of the Frolicher inequalities in terms of the second page of a natural spectral sequence; and we generalize the Lee class $mathcal{L}in H^1(M;mathscr{P})$ -- whose vanishing is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a pseudo-Einstein contact form -- to all nondegenerate orientable CR manifolds.
We establish a relation between smooth 2-functors defined on the path 2-groupoid of a smooth manifold and differential forms on this manifold. This relation can be understood as a part of a dictionary between fundamental notions from category theory and differential geometry. We show that smooth 2-functors appear in several fields, namely as connections on (non-abelian) gerbes, as curvatures of smooth functors and as critical points in BF theory. We demonstrate further that our dictionary provides a powerful tool to discuss the transgression of geometric objects to loop spaces.
