Berezin–Toeplitz quantization for lower energy forms

Let M be an arbitrary complex manifold and let L be a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over M. We introduce the Berezin–Toeplitz quantization of the open set of M where the curvature on L is nondegenerate. In particular, we quantize any manifold admitting a positive line bundle. The quantum spaces are the spectral spaces corresponding to [0,k^?N], where N>1 is fixed, of the Kodaira Laplace operator acting on forms with values in tensor powers L^k. We establish the asymptotic expansion of associated Toeplitz operators and their composition in the semiclassical limit k→∞ and we define the corresponding star-product. If the Kodaira Laplace operator has a certain spectral gap this method yields quantization by means of harmonic forms. As applications, we obtain the Berezin–Toeplitz quantization for semi-positive and big line bundles.     

Convergence of random zeros on complex manifolds

We show that the zeros of random sequences of Gaussian systems of polynomials of in- creasing degree almost surely converge to the expected limit distribution under very general hypotheses. In particular,the normalized distribution of zeros of systems of m polynomials of degree N,orthonor- malized on a regular compact set K(?)C~m,almost surely converge to the equilibrium measure on K as N→∞.     

Some stable vector bundles with reducible theta divisor

 Let C be a curve of genus g and L a line bundle of degree 2g on C. Let M_L be the kernel of the evaluation map . We show that when L is general enough, the rank g bundle M_L and its exterior powers are stable, but admit a reducible theta divisor.

A strange example on Property Np

 We exhibit an example of a line bundle M on a smooth complex projective variety Y s.t. M satisfies Property N ₁₀ , the 10-module of a minimal resolution of the ideal of the embedding of Y by M is nonzero and M ² does not satisfy Property N ₁₀ . Thus this is a completely convincing example showing that surprisingly it is not true that if a line bundle M satisfies Property N _p then any power of M satisfies Property N _p . We recall that in [Ru] we proved the following statement: if M is a line bundle on a smooth complex projective variety and M satisfies Property N _p then M ^s satisfies Property N _p if s≥p.

A structure theorem of Dirac-harmonic maps between spheres

For an arbitrary Dirac-harmonic map (φ,ψ) between compact oriented Riemannian surfaces, we shall study the zeros of |ψ|. With the aid of Bochner-type formulas, we explore the relationship between the order of the zeros of |ψ| and the genus of M and N. On the basis, we could clarify all of non-trivial Dirac-harmonic maps from S ² to S ².     

Dolbeault cohomology of compact complex homogeneous manifolds

We show that ifM is the total space of a holomorphic bundle with base space a simply connected homogeneous projective variety and fibre and structure group a compact complex torus, then the identity component of the automorphism group ofM acts trivially on the Dolbeault cohomology ofM. We consider a class of compact complex homogeneous spacesW, which we call generalized Hopf manifolds, which are diffeomorphic to S¹ ×K/L whereK is a compact connected simple Lie group andL is the semisimple part of the centralizer of a one dimensional torus inK. We compute the Dolbeault cohomology ofW. We compute the Picard group of any generalized Hopf manifold and show that every line bundle over a generalized Hopf manifold arises from a representation of its fundamental group.     

The lagrange intersections for (ℂP n , ℝP n )

Summary If (M, ω) is a compact symplectic manifold andL ⊂M a compact Lagrangian submanifold and if φ is a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism ofM then the V. Arnold conjecture states (possibly under additional conditions) that the number of intersection section points ofL and φ (L) can be estimated by #{Lϒφ (L)}≥ cuplength +1. We shall prove this conjecture for the special case (L, M)=(ℝP ⁿ , ℂP ⁿ ) with the standard symplectic structure.     

On multiply of sections of line bundles on compact Riemann surfaces

In this paper,we give some conditions on the surjective of multiply maps H~0(R,L)×H~0(R,K)→H~0(R,L(?)K).Here R is a compact Riemann surface,L a line bundle on R and K is the canonical line bundle.     

On the geometry of tangent hyperquadric bundles: CR and pseudoharmonic vector fields

We study the natural almost CR structure on the total space of a subbundle of hyperquadrics of the tangent bundle T(M) over a semi-Riemannian manifold (M, g) and show that if the Reeb vector ξ of an almost contact Riemannian manifold is a CR map then the natural almost CR structure on M is strictly pseudoconvex and a posteriori ξ is pseudohermitian. If in addition ξ is geodesic then it is a harmonic vector field. As an other application, we study pseudoharmonic vector fields on a compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M, i.e. unit (with respect to the Webster metric associated with a fixed contact form on M) vector fields X ε H(M) whose horizontal lift X↑ to the canonical circle bundle S¹ → C(M) → M is a critical point of the Dirichlet energy functional associated to the Fefferman metric (a Lorentz metric on C(M)). We show that the Euler–Lagrange equations satisfied by X^↑ project on a nonlinear system of subelliptic PDEs on M. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): 53C50, 53C25, 32V20     

A note on Property Np

Let M be a very ample line bundle on a smooth complex projective variety Y and let ϕ _M :Y→P(H ⁰(Y, M)^*) be the map associated to M; we are concerned with the problem to see whether the syzygies of ϕ _M (Y) give information on the syzygies of ϕ _M ^s (Y). In particular we prove that if Y is a smooth complex projective variety and M is a line bundle on Y satisfying Property N _p , then M ^s satisfies Property N _p if s≥p.

Geometry of the Normal Bundle of a Submanifold*

 We study the geometric behavior of the normal bundle T ^⊥ M of a submanifold M of a Riemannian manifold . We compute explicitely the second fundamental form of T ^⊥ M and look at the relation between the minimality of T ^⊥ M and M. Finally we show that the Maslov forms with respect to a suitable connection of the pair (T ^⊥ M, are null. Received March 14, 2001; in revised form February 11, 2002     

Lie jets and symmetries of prolongations of geometric objects

The Lie jet L _θ λ of a field of geometric objects λ on a smooth manifold M with respect to a field θ of Weil A-velocities is a generalization of the Lie derivative L _v λ of a field λ with respect to a vector field v. In this paper, Lie jets L _θ λ are applied to the study of A-smooth diffeomorphisms on a Weil bundle T ^A M of a smooth manifold M, which are symmetries of prolongations of geometric objects from M to T ^A M. It is shown that vanishing of a Lie jet L _θ λ is a necessary and sufficient condition for the prolongation λ ^A of a field of geometric objects λ to be invariant with respect to the transformation of the Weil bundle T ^A M induced by the field θ. The case of symmetries of prolongations of fields of geometric objects to the second-order tangent bundle T ² M are considered in more detail.     

Almost invariant submanifolds for compact group actions

We define a C ¹ distance between submanifolds of a riemannian manifold M and show that, if a compact submanifold N is not moved too much under the isometric action of a compact group G, there is a G-invariant submanifold C ¹-close to N. The proof involves a procedure of averaging nearby submanifolds of riemannian manifolds in a symmetric way. The procedure combines averaging techniques of Cartan, Grove/Karcher, and de la Harpe/Karoubi with Whitney’s idea of realizing submanifolds as zeros of sections of extended normal bundles.

Partial regularity of mass-minimizing rectifiable sections

Let B be a fiber bundle with compact fiber F over a compact Riemannian n-manifold M ⁿ. There is a natural Riemannian metric on the total space B consistent with the metric on M. With respect to that metric, the volume of a rectifiable section σ: M → B is the mass of the image σ(M) as a rectifiable n-current in B. Theorem 1. For any homology class of sections of B, there is a mass-minimizing rectifiable current T representing that homology class which is the graph of a C¹ section on an open dense subset of M.

Conormal bundles with vanishing Maslov form

IfM is a Riemannian manifold, andL is a Lagrangian submanifold ofT ^* M, the Maslov class ofL has a canonical representative 1-form which we call theMaslov form ofL. We prove that ifL =v ^* N = conormal bundle of a submanifoldN ofM, its Maslov form vanishes iffN is a minimal submanifold. Particularly, ifM is locally flatv ^* N is a minimal Lagrangian submanifold ofT ^* M iffN is a minimal submanifold ofM. This strengthens a result of Harvey and Lawson [H L].     

Seshadri-exceptional foliations

 The maximal Seshadri number μ(L) of an ample line bundle L on a smooth projective variety X measures the local positivity of the line bundle L at a general point of X. By refining the method of Ein-Küchle-Lazarsfeld, lower bounds on μ(L) are obtained in terms of L ⁿ , n=dim(X), for a class of varieties. The main idea is to show that if a certain lower bound is violated, there exists a non-trivial foliation on the variety whose leaves are covered by special curves. In a number of examples, one can show that such foliations must be trivial and obtain lower bounds for μ(L). The examples include the hyperplane line bundle on a smooth surface in ℙ³ and ample line bundles on smooth threefolds of Picard number 1.

Geodesics On The Symplectomorphism Group

Let M be a compact manifold with a symplectic form ω and consider the group D_w{\mathcal{D}_\omega} consisting of diffeomorphisms that preserve ω. We introduce a Riemannian metric on M which is compatible with ω and use it to define an L ²-inner product on vector fields on M. Extending by right invariance we get a weak Riemannian metric on D_w{\mathcal{D}_\omega} . We show that this metric has geodesics which come from integral curves of a smooth vector field on the tangent bundle of D_w{\mathcal{D}_\omega} . Then, estimating the growth of such geodesics, we show that they extend globally.     

The X-Ray Transform for a Generic Family of Curves and Weights

TT-eigentensors for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on some asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with warped products metrics

Let (M =]0, ∞[×N, g) be an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold of dimension n + 1 ≥ 3, equipped with a warped product metric. We show that there exist no TT L ²-eigentensors with eigenvalue in the essential spectrum of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian Δ _L . If (M, g) is the real hyperbolic space, there is no symmetric L ²-eigentensors of Δ _L .
