CR embeddability of quotients of the Rossi sphere via spectral theory

We look at the action of finite subgroups of SU(2) on [Formula: see text], viewed as a CR manifold, both with the standard CR structure as the unit sphere in [Formula: see text] and with a perturbed CR structure known as the Rossi sphere. We show that quotient manifolds from these actions are indeed CR manifolds, and relate the order of the subgroup of SU(2) to the asymptotic distribution of the Kohn Laplacian’s eigenvalues on the quotient. We show that the order of the subgroup determines whether the quotient of the Rossi sphere by the action of that subgroup is CR embeddable. Finally, in the unperturbed case, we prove that we can determine the size of the subgroup by using the point spectrum.

Inscribed Triangles in the Unit Sphere and a New Class of Geometric Constants

In this paper, we firstly investigate the constant H(X) proposed by Gao further by discussing several properties of it that have not yet been discovered. Secondly, we focus on a new constant GL(X) closely related to H(X), along with a variety of geometric properties. In addition, we show several relations among it and the several basic geometric constants via a few inequalities. Finally, we manage to characterize the geometric properties of its generalized forms GL(X,p) and CL(X) explicitly.

Emergent behaviors of discrete Lohe aggregation flows

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The Lohe sphere model and the Lohe matrix model are prototype continuous aggregation models on the unit sphere and the unitary group, respectively. These models have been extensively investigated in recent literature. In this paper, we propose several discrete counterparts for the continuous Lohe type aggregation models and study their emergent behaviors using the Lyapunov function method. For suitable discretization of the Lohe sphere model, we employ a scheme consisting of two steps. In the first step, we solve the first-order forward Euler scheme, and in the second step, we project the intermediate state onto the unit sphere. For this discrete model, we present a sufficient framework leading to the complete state aggregation in terms of system parameters and initial data. For the discretization of the Lohe matrix model, we use the Lie group integrator method, Lie-Trotter splitting method and Strang splitting method to propose three discrete models. For these models, we also provide several analytical frameworks leading to complete state aggregation and asymptotic state-locking.</p>

Index estimates for closed minimal submanifolds of the sphere

In this paper we are interested in comparing the spectra of two elliptic operators acting on a closed minimal submanifold of the Euclidean unit sphere. Using an approach introduced by Savo in [A Savo. Index Bounds for Minimal Hypersurfaces of the Sphere. Indiana Univ. Math. J. 59 (2010), 823-837.], we are able to compare the eigenvalues of the stability operator acting on sections of the normal bundle and the Hodge Laplacian operator acting on $1$ -forms. As a byproduct of the technique and under a suitable hypothesis on the Ricci curvature of the submanifold we obtain that its first Betti's number is bounded from above by a multiple of the Morse index, which provide evidence for a well-known conjecture of Schoen and Marques & Neves in the setting of higher codimension.

On Minimal Hypersurfaces of a Unit Sphere

Minimal compact hypersurface in the unit sphere Sn+1 having squared length of shape operator A2<n are totally geodesic and with A2=n are Clifford hypersurfaces. Therefore, classifying totally geodesic hypersurfaces and Clifford hypersurfaces has importance in geometry of compact minimal hypersurfaces in Sn+1. One finds a naturally induced vector field w called the associated vector field and a smooth function ρ called support function on the hypersurface M of Sn+1. It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for a minimal compact hypersurface M in S5 to be totally geodesic is that the support function ρ is a non-trivial solution of static perfect fluid equation. Additionally, this result holds for minimal compact hypersurfaces in Sn+1, (n>2), provided the scalar curvature τ is a constant on integral curves of w. Yet other classification of totally geodesic hypersurfaces among minimal compact hypersurfaces in Sn+1 is obtained using the associated vector field w an eigenvector of rough Laplace operator. Finally, a characterization of Clifford hypersurfaces is found using an upper bound on the integral of Ricci curvature in the direction of the vector field Aw.

A new look at the Bondi-Sachs energy-momentum

How does one compute the Bondi mass on an arbitrary cut of null infinity I when it is not presented in a Bondi system? What then is the correct definition of the mass aspect? How does one normalise an asymptotic translation computed on a cut which is not equipped with the unit-sphere metric? These are questions which need to be answered if one wants to calculate the Bondi-Sachs energy-momentum for a space-time which has been determined numerically. Under such conditions there is not much control over the presentation of I so that most of the available formulations of the Bondi energy-momentum simply do not apply. The purpose of this article is to provide the necessary background for a manifestly conformally invariant and gauge independent formulation of the Bondi energy-momentum. To this end we introduce a conformally invariant version of the GHP formalism to rephrase all the well-known formulae. This leads us to natural definitions for the space of asymptotic translations with its Lorentzian metric, for the Bondi news and the mass-aspect. A major role in these developments is played by the “co-curvature”, a naturally appearing quantity closely related to the Gauß curvature on a cut of I.
