In this paper we develop a method which may be used to compute the Chern-Simons invariants of a large class of representations on a large class of manifolds. This class includes all representations on all Seifert fiber spaces, all graph manifolds, and some hyperbolic manifolds. I owe many thanks to Peter Scott, John Harer, Frank Raymond, Ron Fintushel, Paul Kirk and Eric Klassen, without whose help and support this paper could not have been written.

The invariant integration method for Chern–Simons theory of gauge group SU(2) and manifold Γ\H3 is verified in the semiclassical limit. The semiclassical approximation for the partition function associated with a connected sum of hyperbolic three-manifolds is presented. We discuss briefly L2-analytical and topological torsions of a manifold with boundary.

AbstractFlat tori are analyzed in the context of an intrinsic Fourier-analytic approach to electrostatics on Riemannian manifolds, introduced by one of the authors in 1984 and previously developed for compact hyperbolic manifolds. The approach covers a large class of repelling laws, but does not naturally include laws with singularities at the origin, for which possible accommodations are discussed in the final section of the paper.

AbstractWe develop a condition on a closed curve on a surface or in a 3-manifold that implies that the length function associated to the curve on the space of all hyperbolic structures on the surface or in the 3-manifold (respectively) completely determines the curve. Specifically, for an orientable surfaceSof negative Euler characteristic, we extend the known result that simple curves have this property to curves with self-intersection number one (with one exceptional case arising from hyperellipticity that we describe completely). For a large class of hyperbolizable 3-manifolds, we show that curves freely homotopic to simple curves on ∂Mhave this property.

AbstractWe prove essential self-adjointness of the spatial part of the linear Klein-Gordon operator with external potential for a large class of globally hyperbolic manifolds. The proof is conducted by a fusion of new results concerning globally hyperbolic manifolds, the theory of weighted Hilbert spaces and related functional analytic advances.
