Let P be an operator of Dirac type on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We impose spectral boundary conditions and study the asymptotics of the heat trace of the associated operator of Laplace type.

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.

Abstract We study the semiclassical limit to a singularly perturbed nonlinear Klein–Gordon–Maxwell–Proca system, with Neumann boundary conditions, on a Riemannian manifold {\mathfrak{M}} with boundary. We exhibit examples of manifolds, of arbitrary dimension, on which these systems have a solution which concentrates at a closed submanifold of the boundary of {\mathfrak{M}} , forming a positive layer, as the singular perturbation parameter goes to zero. Our results allow supercritical nonlinearities and apply, in particular, to bounded domains in {\mathbb{R}^{N}} . Similar results are obtained for the more classical electrostatic Klein–Gordon–Maxwell system with appropriate boundary conditions.

AbstractLet Ω0be a polygon in$\mathbb{R}$2, or more generally a compact surface with piecewise smooth boundary and corners. Suppose that Ωεis a family of surfaces with${\mathcal C}$∞boundary which converges to Ω0smoothly away from the corners, and in a precise way at the vertices to be described in the paper. Fedosov [6], Kac [8] and McKean–Singer [13] recognised that certain heat trace coefficients, in particular the coefficient oft0, are not continuous as ε ↘ 0. We describe this anomaly using renormalized heat invariants of an auxiliary smooth domainZwhich models the corner formation. The result applies to both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We also include a discussion of what one might expect in higher dimensions.

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.
