Ricci flow for manifold learning

I know that mean curvature and diffusion-type flows are common in manifold learning because of their smoothing effects. I haven't seen Ricci flow used as much. Given that Ricci and diffusion-type ...

Conjugacy of $L_X$ operators

Assume that $X$ is a vector field on a $n$ dimensional manifold $M$.Let $0\leq i,j \leq n$. 1.Is there a linear isomorphism $T:\Omega^i(M) \to \Omega^j(M)$ with $L_X T=T L_X$? 2.Is there a linear ...

Is there an upper bound on dimension of kernel of elliptic operator for a fixed closed manifold M

Assume that $M$ is a smooth closed manifold and $E,F$ are fixed smooth vector bundles over $M.$ Is there a number $C,$ such that for any elliptic operator $\mathcal{D}:\Gamma(E)\to\Gamma(F)$ $$\...

Differential Operators On A Curve And On Osculating Circle

Given a 1D Riemannian manifold $\Gamma$ embedded in 2D Euclidean space (e.g. a parametric curve on a plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ ), and point $x_{0}\in \Gamma$, we denote $S^{1}(x_{0})$ the circle ...

Differential and pre-differential of Jacobi identity

Let M be a manifold. To what extent all Lie algebra structures with tensorial property on $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ are studied? That is a Lie algebra structure for which $[X,fY]=f[X,Y]$. (For every ...
