The asymptotic of curvature of direct image bundle associated with higher powers of a relatively ample line bundle

Let $$\pi :\mathcal {X}\rightarrow M$$ π : X → M be a holomorphic fibration with compact fibers and L a relatively ample line bundle over $$\mathcal {X}$$ X . We obtain the asymptotic of the curvature of $$L^2$$ L 2 -metric and Qullien metric on the direct image bundle $$\pi _*(L^k\otimes K_{\mathcal {X}/M})$$ π ∗ ( L k ⊗ K X / M ) up to the lower order terms than $$k^{n-1}$$ k n - 1 , for large k. As an application we prove that the analytic torsion $$\tau _k(\bar{\partial })$$ τ k ( ∂ ¯ ) satisfies $$\partial \bar{\partial }\log (\tau _k(\bar{\partial }))^2=o(k^{n-1})$$ ∂ ∂ ¯ log ( τ k ( ∂ ¯ ) ) 2 = o ( k n - 1 ) , where n is the dimension of fibers.

Analytic torsions associated with the Rumin complex on contact spheres

We explicitly write down all eigenvalues of the Rumin Laplacian on the standard contact spheres, and express the analytic torsion functions associated with the Rumin complex in terms of the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we find that the functions vanish at the origin and determine the analytic torsions.

Sub-Riemannian Limit of the Differential Form Heat Kernels of Contact Manifolds

We study the behavior of the heat kernel of the Hodge Laplacian on a contact manifold endowed with a family of Riemannian metrics that blow-up the directions transverse to the contact distribution. We apply this to analyze the behavior of global spectral invariants such as the $\eta $-invariant and the determinant of the Laplacian. In particular, we prove that contact versions of the relative $\eta $-invariant and the relative analytic torsion are equal to their Riemannian analogues and hence topological.

Ruelle Zeta Function from Field Theory

We propose a field-theoretic interpretation of Ruelle zeta function and show how it can be seen as the partition function for BF theory when an unusual gauge-fixing condition on contact manifolds is imposed. This suggests an alternative rephrasing of a conjecture due to Fried on the equivalence between Ruelle zeta function and analytic torsion, in terms of homotopies of Lagrangian submanifolds.

K3 surfaces with involution, equivariant analytic torsion, and automorphic forms on the moduli space IV: The structure of the invariant

Yoshikawa in [Invent. Math. 156 (2004), 53–117] introduces a holomorphic torsion invariant of $K3$ surfaces with involution. In this paper we completely determine its structure as an automorphic function on the moduli space of such $K3$ surfaces. On every component of the moduli space, it is expressed as the product of an explicit Borcherds lift and a classical Siegel modular form. We also introduce its twisted version. We prove its modularity and a certain uniqueness of the modular form corresponding to the twisted holomorphic torsion invariant. This is used to study an equivariant analogue of Borcherds’ conjecture.
