Commensurability of Hyperbolic Manifolds with Geodesic Boundary

Suppose , let M ₁, M ₂ be n-dimensional connected complete finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with nonempty geodesic boundary, and suppose that π₁ (M ₁) is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M ₂) (with respect to the word metric). Also suppose that if n=3, then ∂M ₁ and ∂M ₂ are compact. We show that M ₁ is commensurable with M ₂. Moreover, we show that there exist homotopically equivalent hyperbolic 3-manifolds with non-compact geodesic boundary which are not commensurable with each other. We also prove that if M is as M ₁ above and G is a finitely generated group which is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M), then there exists a hyperbolic manifold with geodesic boundary M′ with the following properties: M′ is commensurable with M, and G is a finite extension of a group which contains π₁ (M′) as a finite-index subgroupMathematics Subject Classification (2000).

$ L^2 $-torsion of Hyperbolic Manifolds of Finite Volume

Suppose is a compact connected odd-dimensional manifold with boundary, whose interior M comes with a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. We will show that the -topological torsion of and the -analytic torsion of the Riemannian manifold M are equal. In particular, the -topological torsion of is proportional to the hyperbolic volume of M, with a constant of proportionality which depends only on the dimension and which is known to be nonzero in odd dimensions [HS]. In dimension 3 this proves the conjecture [Lü2, Conjecture 2.3] or [LLü, Conjecture 7.7] which gives a complete calculation of the -topological torsion of compact -acyclic 3-manifolds which admit a geometric JSJT-decomposition.?In an appendix we give a counterexample to an extension of the Cheeger-Müller theorem to manifolds with boundary: if the metric is not a product near the boundary, in general analytic and topological torsion are not equal, even if the Euler characteristic of the boundary vanishes.

The Canonical Decompositions of Some Family of Compact Orientable Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds with Totally Geodesic Boundary

L. Paoluzzi and B. Zimmermann constructed a family of compact orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, and classified them up to homeomorphism. Our main purpose is to determine the canonical decompositions of these manifolds. Using the result, we can obtain an alternative proof of the classification theorem of these manifolds and determine their isometry groups. We also determine their unknotting tunnels. Some of these manifolds are related to certain spatial graphs, so-called Suzukis Brunnian graphs. The properties of these manifolds enable us to obtain those of the graphs. Moreover, we give an affirmative answer to Kinoshitas problem concerning these graphs. In the Appendix, we calculate the volume of these manifolds.     

Counting Hyperbolic Manifolds with Bounded Diameter

Let ρ _n (V) be the number of complete hyperbolic manifolds of dimension n with volume less than V . Burger et al [Geom. Funct. Anal. 12(6) (2002), 1161–1173.] showed that when n ≥ 4 there exist a, b > 0 depending on the dimension such that aV log V ≤ log ρ _n (V) ≤ bV log V, for V ≫ 0. In this note, we use their methods to bound the number of hyperbolic manifolds with diameter less than d and show that the number grows double-exponentially with volume. Additionally, this bound holds in dimension 3.     

Integrable Geodesic Flows on Riemannian Manifolds

We discuss the notion of geodesics and study the global behavior of geodesics on closed Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we emphasize the case of so-called integrable geodesic flows.     

A Gap Theorem for Free Boundary Minimal Surfaces in Geodesic Balls of Hyperbolic Space and Hemisphere

In this paper we provide a pinching condition for the characterization of the totally geodesic disk and the rotational annulus among minimal surfaces with free boundary in geodesic balls of three-dimensional hyperbolic space and hemisphere. The pinching condition involves the length of the second fundamental form, the support function of the surface, and a natural potential function in hyperbolic space and hemisphere.

New Characterization of Geodesic Convexity on Hadamard Manifolds with Applications

In this paper, some new results, concerned with the geodesic convex hull and geodesic convex combination, are given on Hadamard manifolds. An S-KKM theorem on a Hadamard manifold is also given in order to generalize the KKM theorem. As applications, a Fan–Browder-type fixed point theorem and a fixed point theorem for the a new mapping class are proved on Hadamard manifolds.     

Manifolds with Boundary and of Bounded Geometry

For non–compact manifolds with boundary we prove that bounded geometry defined by coordinate–free curvature bounds is equivalent to bounded geometry defined using bounds on the metric tensor in geodesic coordinates. We produce a nice atlas with subordinate partition of unity on manifolds with boundary of bounded geometry and we study the change of geodesic coordinate maps.     

Families Index for Manifolds with Hyperbolic Cusp Singularities

Manifolds with fibered hyperbolic cusp metrics include hyperbolicmanifolds with cusps and locally symmetric spaces of -rank 1. We extend Vaillant's treatment of Dirac-typeoperators associated to these metrics by weakening the hypotheseson the boundary families through the use of Fredholm perturbationsas in the family index theorem of Melrose and Piazza, and bytreating the index of families of such operators. We also extendthe index theorem of Moroianu and Leichtnam–Mazzeo–Piazzato families of perturbed Dirac-type operators associated tofibered cusp metrics (sometimes known as fibered boundary metrics).

Geodesic symmetries of homogeneous Kähler Manifolds

D'Atri and Nickerson [6], [7] have given necessary conditions for the geodesic symmetries of a Riemannian manifold to preserve the volume element. We use their results to show that ifG is a compact simple Lie group,T is a maximal torus ofG, andG/T is not symmetric, then anyG-invariant Kähler metric onG/T does not have volume-preserving geodesic symmetries. From the Kähler/de Rham decomposition of a compact homogeneous Kähler manifold [8], our result extends to the invariant Kähler metrics on a quotient of a compact connected Lie group by a maximal torus. In proving these results we compute directly the Ricci tensor of anyG-invariant Kähler metric onG/T forG compact connected andT a maximal torus ofG. The result is an explicit formula giving the value of the Ricci tensor elements in terms of the root structure of the Lie algebra ofG.     

Zeta Determinants on Manifolds with Boundary

Through a general theory for relative spectral invariants, we study the ζ-determinant of global boundary problems of APS-type. In particular, we compute the ζ-determinant ratio for Dirac-Laplacian boundary problems in terms of a scattering Fredholm determinant over the boundary.     

Collars in Complex and Quaternionic Hyperbolic Manifolds

We use the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic versions of Jørgensen's inequality to construct embedded collars about short, simple, closed geodesics in complex and quaternionic hyperbolic manifolds. In general, the width of these collars depend both on the length of the geodesic and on the rotational part of the group element uniformising it. For complex hyperbolic space we are able to use a lemma of Zagier to give an estimate based only on the length. We show that these canonical collars are disjoint from each other and from canonical cusps. We also calculate the volumes of these collars.     

Ricci-Bourguignon Flow on Manifolds with Boundary

The authors consider the short time existence for Ricci-Bourguignon flow on manifolds with boundary. If the initial metric has constant mean curvature and satisfies some compatibility conditions, they show the short time existence of the Ricci-Bourguignon flow with constant mean curvature on the boundary.     

Geodesic $\gamma$-Pre-$E$-Convex Functions on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we generalize geodesic $E$-convex function and define geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions on Riemannian manifolds. The sufficient condition of equivalence class of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convexity and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convexity for differentiable function on Riemannian manifolds is studied. We discuss the sufficient condition for $E$-epigraph to be geodesic $E$-convex set. At the end, we establish some optimality results with the aid of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions and discuss the mean value inequality for geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex function.     

Modified Curvatures on Manifolds with Boundary and Applications

To study the reflecting diffusion processes on manifolds with boundary, some new curvature operators are introduced by using the Bakry-Emery curvature and the second fundamental form. As applications, the gradient estimates, log-Harnack inequality and Poincaré/log-Sobolev inequalities are investigated for the Neumann semigroup on manifolds with boundary.     

The Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary and Large Symmetry

Seventy years ago, Myers and Steenrod showed that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold without boundary has a structure of Lie group. In 2007, Bagaev and Zhukova proved the same result for a Riemannian orbifold. In this paper, the authors first show that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M with boundary has dimension at most 1/2 dim M（dim M - 1）. Then such Riemannian manifolds with boundary that their isometry groups attain the preceding maximal dimension are completely classified.
