The idea of exact filling bundle may be described roughly as follows. Suppose that ξk is a vector bundle with fibre Rk, total space E(ξk) and base X. We say that ξk is a real k-plane bundle on X. Let in be the trivial n-plane bundle on X so that E(in) = X × Rn. A bundle monomorphism j: ξk → in defines a map : E(ξk)→Rn obtained by composition of the embedding E(ξk)→E(in) and the product projection E(in) → Rn. The map represents each fibre of ξk as a k-plane in Rn.

This chapter constructs the hypoelliptic Laplacian ℒbX > 0 acting on the total space of a vector bundle TX ⊕ N ≃ g over the symmetric space X = G/K. The operator ℒbX is obtained using general constructions involving Clifford algebras and Heisenberg algebras, and also the Dirac operator of Kostant. The end result is the elliptic Laplacian 𝓛 X on X as well as the hypoelliptic Laplacian ℒbX, which is a second order hypoelliptic operator acting on X^. Among other things, this chapter gives a key formula relating 𝓛 XℒbX, as well as various formulas involving the operator ℒbX+La.

We find conditions for which a manifold endowed with an integrable almost transversal structure is the total space of a vector bundle isomorphic to the transversal bundle of a foliation.

AbstractA domainD⊂ Czadmits the circular slit mappingP(z) fora, b∈Dsuch thatP(z) – 1/(z–a) is regular ataandP(b) = 0. We callp(z) =log|P(z)|theLi-principal functionandα= log |P′(b)| theL1-constant, and similarly, the radial slit mappingQ(z) implies theL0-principal functionq(z) and theL0-constantβ. We calls=α–βtheharmonic spanfor (D, a, b). We show the geometric meaning ofs. Hamano showed the variation formula for theL1-constantα(t) for the moving domainD(t) in Czwitht∈B:= {t∈ C: |t| <ρ}. We show the corresponding formula for theL0-constantβ(t) forD(t) and combine these to prove that, if the total spaceD =∪t∈B(t, D(t)) is pseudoconvex inB× Cz, thens(t) is subharmonic onB. As a direct application, we have the subharmonicity of log coshd(t) onB, whered(t) is the Poincaré distance betweenaandbonD(t).

Abstract Let 𝓔 k denote the set of diffeomorphism classes of closed connected smooth k-manifolds X with the property that for any oriented vector bundle α over X, the Euler class e(α) = 0. We show that if X ∈ 𝓔2n+1 is orientable, then X is a rational homology sphere and π 1(X) is perfect. We also show that 𝓔8 = ∅ and derive additional cohomlogical restrictions on orientable manifolds in 𝓔 k .

AbstractHere we classify the weakly uniform rank two vector bundles on multiprojective spaces. Moreover, we show that every rank r>2 weakly uniform vector bundle with splitting type a1,1=⋯=ar,s=0 is trivial and every rank r>2 uniform vector bundle with splitting type a1>⋯>ar splits.
