I am considering the twiced tangent bundle $T(TM)$ of manifolds $M$. Locally, if $M=R^d$ then $T(TM)=R^{4d}=\oplus^3 TM$. My attempt is to see whether $T(TM)\cong \oplus^3 TM$ natu …

For a homogeneous space $M = G/B$, with $G$ a (complex) semi-simple Lie group, it is very well-known that equivariant vector bundles $E$ over $M$ correspond to representations $(V_ …

I know that exist a Lie Group Called the Orthogonal Group $O(n)$. That correspond to all matrix of $n \times n$ in the real numbers such that the columns are a orthogonal basis for …

In Gromov's famous book ,it says "simplical volume of every oriented surface of genus $ \ge 1$ satisfies${\left\| {\left[ S \right]} \right\|_\Delta } = 4g - 4 = - 2\chi \left( S …

M is an n-dimensional closed orientable manifold. I find in a book "Intuitively,the fundamental class can be thought of as the sum of the (top-dimension) simplices of a suitable tr …

In "Lectures on gauge theory and integrable systems" of M.Audin, she identifies the space of conections $\mathcal{A}$ on the trivial bundle $G\times S$ ($G$ Lie group, $S$ surface …

A Morse funnction on a smooth manifold is usually intuitively interpreted as follows: Imagine the manifold to be a mountainous landscape and the Morse function as the elevation of …

For an $n$-dimensional orientable closed manifold $M$, the simplicial volume is the infimum of the $l^1$-norm of the elements $\sum a_i \sigma_i$ ($a_i \in \mathbb{R}$) which repre …

Let $X$ be a normal complex affine algebraic variety. Suppose that $Y$ is an open subvariety of $X$, and that the codimension of $X\setminus Y$ in $X$ is at least $2$. One version …

Let $M$ and $N$ be finite dimensional smooth manifolds. A smooth map $f: M \to N$ is an embedding if and only if there is an open neighborhood $U$ of $f(M)$ in $N$ and a smooth ma …

Hello, I consider a compact and connected (smooth) Riemannian manofold $(M,g)$. I'm interested in the eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger Operator $L=-\Delta+ V$ acting on (smooth) …

Hello, let $(M,g)$ be a compact and connected Riemannian manifold (possibly with $\partial M\neq \emptyset$). We consider the Friedrichs extension of $L=-\Delta +V: C^{\infty}(M,\ …

Since in a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ the only totally convex subset is the whole manifold itself, see http://mathoverflow.net/questions/106169/closed-manifold-has-no-nontrivi …

I have started reading "Introduction to differentiable manifolds" by Serge Lang. In this book, Lang takes a different approach, by immediately introducing manifolds on arbitrary Ba …

Is there a known definition of vector fields on a simplicial manifold? For me, it seems natural that the definition should be something along the lines: Let $M_{\bullet}$ be a si …
