The Hypoelliptic Laplacian and Ray-Singer Metrics
This ebook offers the analytic foundations to the speculation of the hypoelliptic Laplacian. The hypoelliptic Laplacian, a second-order operator performing on the cotangent package of a compact manifold, is meant to interpolate among the classical Laplacian and the geodesic move. Jean-Michel Bismut and Gilles Lebeau determine the elemental useful analytic houses of this operator, that is additionally studied from the viewpoint of neighborhood index thought and analytic torsion.
This e-book offers the 1st steps of a idea of confoliations designed to hyperlink geometry and topology of third-dimensional touch buildings with the geometry and topology of codimension-one foliations on 3-dimensional manifolds. constructing nearly independently, those theories at the start look belonged to 2 diverse worlds: the speculation of foliations is a part of topology and dynamical structures, whereas touch geometry is the odd-dimensional 'brother' of symplectic geometry.

(vi) A c M is bounded iff for each U E A there exists s > 0 such that A c B ( a , s), . 4 Continuous Functions Since all this is the result of our preoccupation with continuous real-valued functions, it is about time to see how far we have come. Metric and TopologicalSpaces 37 12. Definition. Let (X, r ) and (Y,a)be topological spaces and f : X +Y (orf : ( X , z )+ ( Y , o ) ) be a function.

The reader is well- i=l advised to think in terms of functions rather than n-tuples, since functions impose no limitations on the size of the index set A ; on the other hand, to think of tuples which have more elements than the integers may cause headaches. In some instances, it is very convenient to replace f : A+ UaEA 4 by its image f (A) and to give it a more familiar appearance; namely, we let f E f ( A ) z ( f ( a ) ) a=(‘a>,? +u,& it being understood that (aa)a represents the function f : A such that f(a)= a , , for each a E A , By no means, under any circumstances, try to attach ) ~ none is implied.
And therefore that A X B is a countable union of countable sets. The Cbl-Cbl Theorem and Proposition 4 strongly support the conjecture that any Cartesian product of countably many countable sets is countable. After all, from the viewpoint of equipollence, what difference can there be between countable products and countable unions? Surprise! Surprise! 6. Theorem. For any sequence {An};=, of infinite sets, I I E , A i is uncountable. Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume that each Ai = w .
