Solving Fredholm integro-differential equations using Hybrid and Block-Pulse functions

In this paper, hybrid and block-pulse functions are used to approximate the solution of a class of Fredholm integro-differential equations that was first studied by Hemeda. By employing suitable approximations, the equation has been converted into a system of algebraic equations that can be solved with classical methods. Finally, the method is explained with illustrative examples and results are compared to the results obtained by Hemeda's method to show the usefulness and efficiency of the block-pulse and hybrid functions approach.

Hypersurfaces immersed in special Spin$^c$ manifolds by first eigenspinors

Let $M$ be a closed orientable hypersurface of dimension $n$, with nonwhere vanishing mean curvature $H$, immersed into a Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifold $\mathcal Z$ carrying a parallel spinor field. The first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D)$ (with the least absolute value) of the induced Dirac operator $\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D$ of $M$ satisfies the Spin$^c$ B\"{a}r inequality \begin{eqnarray*} \lambda_1^2 (\not\hspace{-0.1cm}D) \leq \frac{n^2}{4 \ \mathrm{vol}(M)}\int_M H^2 dV, \end{eqnarray*} where $\mathrm{vol}(M)$ is the volume of $M$ and $dV$ is the volume form of the manifold $M$. In this paper, we classify hypersurfaces $M$ that satisfy the equality case in the Spin$^c$ B\"{a}r inequality when $\mathcal Z = (0,+\infty) \times P$ is the cone over a Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifold $P$ carrying a real Killing spinor, under two conditions: one being a Ricci condition on $\mathcal Z$, and the second one the curvature of the auxiliary line bundle associated with the Spin$^c$ structure on $\mathcal Z$. More precisely, we prove that $M$ are the slices $\{s\} \times P$, where $s \in (0,+\infty)$. In the special case, when $\mathcal Z=\mathbb R^{n+1}$, i.e., the cone over the sphere, which is a Spin manifold with a parallel spinor, the classification result was previously obtained by Hijazi and Montiel.

Hybrid functions approach to solve a class of Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations

In this paper, we use a numerical method that involves hybrid and block-pulse functions to approximate solutions of systems of a class of Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. The key point is to derive a new approximation for the derivatives of the solutions and then reduce the integro-differential equation to a system of algebraic equations that can be solved using classical methods. Some numerical examples are dedicated for showing efficiency and validity of the method that we introduce.

Totally umbilical hypersurfaces of Spin$^c$ manifolds carrying special spinor fields

Under some dimension restrictions, we prove that totally umbilical hypersurfaces of Spin$^c$ manifolds carrying a parallel, real or imaginary Killing spinor are of constant mean curvature. This extends to the Spin$^c$ case the result of O. Kowalski stating that, every totally umbilical hypersurface of an Einstein manifold of dimension greater or equal to $3$ is of constant mean curvature. As an application, we prove that there are no extrinsic hypersheres in complete Riemannian Spin manifolds of non-constant sectional curvature carrying a parallel, Killing or imaginary Killing spinor.

Characterization of hypersurfaces in four dimensional product spaces via two different Spin$^c$ structures

The Riemannian product $\mathbb M_1(c_1) \times \mathbb M_2(c_2)$, where $\mathbb M_i(c_i)$ denotes the $2$-dimensional space form of constant sectional curvature $c_i \in \mathbb R$, has two different Spin$^c$ structures carrying each a parallel spinor. The restriction of these two parallel spinor fields to a $3$-dimensional hypersurface $M$ characterizes the isometric immersion of $M$ into $\mathbb M_1(c_1) \times \mathbb M_2(c_2)$. As an application, we prove that totally umbilical hypersurfaces of $\mathbb M_1(c_1) \times \mathbb M_1(c_1)$ and totally umbilical hypersurfaces of $\mathbb M_1(c_1) \times \mathbb M_2(c_2)$ ($c_1 \neq c_2$) having a local structure product, are of constant mean curvature.

Rigidity results for Riemannian spin^c manifolds with foliated boundary

Given a Riemannian spin^c manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow, we show that any solution of the basic Dirac equation satisfies an integral inequality depending on geometric quantities, such as the mean curvature and the O'Neill tensor. We then characterize the equality case of the inequality when the ambient manifold is a domain of a Kähler-Einstein manifold or a Riemannian product of a Kähler-Einstein manifold with R (or with the circle S^1).

Spinorially twisted Spin structures, III: CR structures

We develop a spinorial description of CR structures of arbitrary codimension. More precisely, we characterize almost CR structures of arbitrary codimension on (Riemannian) manifolds by the existence of a Spin$^{c, r}$ structure carrying a partially pure spinor field. We study various integrability conditions of the almost CR structure in our spinorial setup, including the classical integrability of a CR structure as well as those implied by Killing-type conditions on the partially pure spinor field. In the codimension one case, we develop a spinorial description of strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds, metric contact manifolds and Sasakian manifolds. Finally, we study hypersurfaces of Kaehler manifolds via partially pure Spin$^c$ spinors.

Eigenvalue Estimate for the basic Laplacian on manifolds with foliated boundary, part II

In [4], we gave a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the basic Laplacian acting on basic $1$-forms defined on a compact manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow. In this paper, we extend this result to the case of the first eigenvalue on basic $p$-forms for $p>1$. As in [4], the limiting case allows to characterize the manifold $\mathbb{R} \times B' / Γ$ for some group $Γ$, and where $B'$ denotes the unit closed ball. In particular, we describe the Riemannian product $\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{S}^n$ as the boundary of a manifold.

Eigenvalue Estimate for the basic Laplacian on manifolds with foliated boundary

In this paper, we give a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the basic Laplacian acting on basic $1$-forms defined on a compact manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow. The limiting case gives rise to a particular geometry of the flow and the boundary. Namely, the flow is a local product and the boundary is $η$-umbilical. This allows to characterize the quotient of $\mathbb R\times B'$ by some group $Γ$ as being the limiting manifold. Here $B'$ denotes the unit closed ball. Finally, we deduce several rigidity results describing the product $\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{S}^n$ as the boundary of a manifold.

Eigenvalue Estimates of the ${\rm spin}^c$ Dirac Operator and Harmonic Forms on Kähler-Einstein Manifolds

We establish a lower bound for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator defined on a compact Kähler-Einstein manifold of positive scalar curvature and endowed with particular ${\rm spin}^c$ structures. The limiting case is characterized by the existence of Kählerian Killing ${\rm spin}^c$ spinors in a certain subbundle of the spinor bundle. Moreover, we show that the Clifford multiplication between an effective harmonic form and a Kählerian Killing ${\rm spin}^c$ spinor field vanishes. This extends to the ${\rm spin}^c$ case the result of A. Moroianu stating that, on a compact Kähler-Einstein manifold of complex dimension $4\ell+3$ carrying a complex contact structure, the Clifford multiplication between an effective harmonic form and a Kählerian Killing spinor is zero.

Rigidity results for spin manifolds with foliated boundary

In this paper, we consider a compact Riemannian manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow. Under a suitable curvature assumption depending on the O'Neill tensor of the flow, we prove that any solution of the basic Dirac equation is the restriction of a parallel spinor field defined on the whole manifold. As a consequence, we show that the flow is a local product. In particular, in the case where solutions of the basic Dirac equation are given by basic Killing spinors, we characterize the geometry of the manifold and the flow.

Spinorial Characterization of CR Structures, I

We characterize certain CR structures of arbitrary codimension (different from 3, 4 and 5) on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds by the existence of a Spin$^c$ structure carrying a strictly partially pure spinor field. Furthermore, we study the geometry of Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds carrying a strictly partially pure spinor which satisfies the generalized Killing equation in prescribed directions.

Boundary value problems for noncompact boundaries of Spin$^c$ manifolds and spectral estimates

We study boundary value problems for the Dirac operator on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds of bounded geometry and with noncompact boundary. This generalizes a part of the theory of boundary value problems by C. Bär and W. Ballmann for complete manifolds with closed boundary. As an application, we derive the lower bound of Hijazi-Montiel-Zhang, involving the mean curvature of the boundary, for the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the noncompact boundary of a Spin$^c$ manifold. The limiting case is then studied and examples are then given.

Complex Generalized Killing Spinors on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds

In this paper, we extend the study of generalized Killing spinors on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds started by Moroianu and Herzlich to complex Killing functions. We prove that such spinor fields are always real Spin$^c$ Killing spinors or imaginary generalized Spin$^c$ Killing spinors, providing that the dimension of the manifold is greater or equal to 4. Moreover, we classify Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds carrying imaginary and imaginary generalized Killing spinors.

In this paper, we consider a Riemannian foliation whose normal bundle carries a parallel or harmonic basic form. We estimate the norm of the O'Neill tensor in terms of the curvature data of the whole manifold. Some examples are then given.

The Spin$^c$ Dirac Operator on Hypersurfaces and Applications

We extend to the eigenvalues of the hypersurface Spin$^c$ Dirac operator well known lower and upper bounds. Examples of limiting cases are then given. Futhermore, we prove a correspondence between the existence of a Spin$^c$ Killing spinor on homogeneous 3-dimensional manifolds $\mathbb E^*(κ, τ)$ with 4-dimensional isometry group and isometric immersions of $\mathbb E^*(κ, τ)$ into the complex space form $\mathbb M^4(c)$ of constant holomorphic sectional curvature $4c$, for some $c\in \mathbb R^*$. As applications, we show the non-existence of totally umbilic surfaces in $\mathbb E^*(κ, τ)$ and we give necessary and sufficient geometric conditions to immerse a 3-dimensional Sasaki manifold into $\mathbb M^4(c)$.
