AbstractThis paper is concerned with the behavior of twisted Ruelle zeta functions of compact hyperbolic manifolds at the origin. Fried proved that for an orthogonal acyclic representation of the fundamental group of a compact hyperbolic manifold, the twisted Ruelle zeta function is holomorphic at $$s=0$$ s = 0 and its value at $$s=0$$ s = 0 equals the Reidemeister torsion. He also established a more general result for orthogonal representations, which are not acyclic. The purpose of the present paper is to extend Fried’s result to arbitrary finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group. The Reidemeister torsion is replaced by the complex-valued combinatorial torsion introduced by Cappell and Miller.

For an odd-dimensional oriented hyperbolic manifold with cusps and strongly acyclic coefficient systems, we define the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel–Serre compactification of the manifold using bases of cohomology classes defined via Eisenstein series by the method of Harder. In the main result of this paper we relate this combinatorial torsion to the regularized analytic torsion. Together with results on the asymptotic behaviour of the regularized analytic torsion, established previously, this should have applications to study the growth of torsion in the cohomology of arithmetic groups. Our main result is established via a gluing formula, and here our approach is heavily inspired by a recent paper of Lesch.

AbstractWe consider the X-Greedy Algorithm and the Dual Greedy Algorithm in a finite-dimensional Banach space with a strictly monotone basis as the dictionary. We show that when the dictionary is an initial segment of the Haar basis in Lp[0, 1] (1 < p < ∞) then the algorithms terminate after finitely many iterations and that the number of iterations is bounded by a function of the length of the initial segment. We also prove a more general result for a class of strictly monotone bases.

AbstractIn this paper we introduce a nested family of spaces of continuous functions defined on the spectrum of a uniform algebra. The smallest space in the family is the uniform algebra itself. In the “finite dimensional” case, from some point on the spaces will be the space of all continuous complex-valued functions on the spectrum. These spaces are defined in terms of solutions to the nonlinear Cauchy–Riemann equations as introduced by the author in 1976, so they are not generally linear spaces of functions. However, these spaces do shed light on the higher dimensional properties of a uniform algebra. In particular, these spaces are directly related to the generalized Shilov boundary of the uniform algebra (as defined by the author and, independently, by Sibony in the early 1970s).

AbstractLet f : Y → X be a continuous map between a compact real analytic Kähler manifold (Y, g) and a compact complex hyperbolic manifold (X, g0). In this paper we give a lower bound of the diastatic entropy of (Y, g) in terms of the diastatic entropy of (X, g0) and the degree of f . When the lower bound is attained we get geometric rigidity theorems for the diastatic entropy analogous to the ones obtained by G. Besson, G. Courtois and S. Gallot [2] for the volume entropy. As a corollary,when X = Y,we get that the minimal diastatic entropy is achieved if and only if g is isometric to the hyperbolic metric g0.

AbstractFor a simply connected solvable Lie group G with a lattice Γ, the author constructed an explicit finite-dimensional differential graded algebra A*Γ which computes the complex valued de Rham cohomology H*(Γ\G, C) of the solvmanifold Γ\G. In this note, we give a quick introduction to the construction of such A*Γ including a simple proof of H*(A*Γ) ≅ H*(Γ\G, C).

Given any subspace N of a Banach space X, there is a subspace M containing N and of the same density character as N, for which there exists a linear Hahn–Banach extension operator from M* to X*. This result was first proved by Heinrich and Mankiewicz [4, Proposition 3.4] using some of the deeper results of Model Theory. More precisely, they used the Banach space version of the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem due to Stern [11], which in turn relies on the Löwenheim–Skolem and Keisler–Shelah theorems from Model Theory. Previously Lindenstrauss [7], using a finite dimensional lemma and a compactness argument, obtained a version of this for reflexive spaces. We shall show that the same finite dimensional lemma leads directly to the general result, without any appeal to Model Theory.

This paper achieves, among other things, the following: • It frees the main result of [9] from the hypothesis of determinant class and extends this result from unitary to arbitrary representations. • It extends (and at the same times provides a new proof of) the main result of Bismut and Zhang [3] from finite dimensional representations of Γ to representations on an [Formula: see text]-Hilbert module of finite type ([Formula: see text] a finite von Neumann algebra). The result of [3] corresponds to [Formula: see text]. • It provides interesting real valued functions on the space of representations of the fundamental group Γ of a closed manifold M. These functions might be a useful source of topological and geometric invariants of M. These objectives are achieved with the help of the relative torsion ℛ, first introduced by Carey, Mathai and Mishchenko [12] in special cases. The main result of this paper calculates explicitly this relative torsion (cf. Theorem 1.1).
