The spectral functionΘ(t)=∑i=1∞exp(−tλj), where{λj}j=1∞are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplace-Beltrami operator−Δ, is studied for a compact Riemannian manifoldΩof dimension “k” with a smooth boundary∂Ω, where a finite number of piecewise impedance boundary conditions(∂∂ni+γi)u=0on the parts∂Ωi(i=1,…,m)of the boundary∂Ωcan be considered, such that∂Ω=∪i=1m∂Ωi, andγi(i=1,…,m)are assumed to be smooth functions which are not strictly positive.

Tangent Sphere

SynopsisClassically the tangent sphere bundles have formed a large class of contact manifolds; their contact structures are not in general regular, however. Specifically we prove that the natural contact structure on the tangent sphere bundle of a compact Riemannian manifold of non-positive constant curvature is not regular.

AbstractLet (M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. In the paper, we prove that the eigenvalues of geometric operator −Δφ + $\frac{R}{2}$ are non-decreasing under the Ricci flow for manifold M with some curvature conditions, where Δφ is the Witten Laplacian operator, φ ∈ C2(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). We also derive the evolution of eigenvalues under the normalized Ricci flow. As a consequence, we show that compact steady Ricci breather with these curvature conditions must be trivial.

SynopsisWe consider the Yang–Mills functional denned on connections on a principal bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 2 or 3. It is shown that if we consider the Yang–Mills functional as being defined on an appropriate Hilbert manifold of orbits of connections under the action of the group of principal bundle automorphisms, then the functional satisfies the Palais–Smale condition.
