Sep 14, 2012 at 13:30 | comment | added | Peter Dalakov | The Weitzenboeck technique is mostly used to show that some (first order, self-adjoint) differential operator $D$ (acting on sections of an hermitian bundle over a compact manifold $M$) has trivial kernel. Since the $L^2$ norm of $Ds$ is $\int_M (D^2s,s)$, the goal is to write $D^2$ as some "standard Laplacian" plus a 0-order scalar term, $D^2=\Delta +A$. If $A$ is pointwise positive, by the maximum principle for $\Delta$ you get that $Ds=0$ implies $s=0$. | |
Sep 14, 2012 at 12:58 | comment | added | Paul Reynolds | This paper, although written from a Riemannian geometry perspective instead of a complex one, has a seemingly general definition of Weitzenb\"ock identity. It's a bit long though. arxiv.org/abs/math/0702031 | |

Sep 14, 2012 at 12:52 | comment | added | Gunnar Þór Magnússon | Demailly's book (www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~demailly/manuscripts/agbook.pdf) and Besse's "Einstein manifolds" have good discussions of these things. The identity you write is called a Bochner-Kodaira-Nakano identity, which is a complex geometric version of a Weitzenböck identity. By any name, these things express the difference between two Laplacians. | |
