Abstract:Let M be a complete noncompact manifold. We prove vanishing and finiteness results for harmonic p-forms on M, assuming both the curvature operator lower bound and the weighted Poincaré inequality on M.
IntroductionIt is interesting to study the structures of noncompact complete manifolds, especially their topological properties at infinity. There are many results [Witten and Yau 1999;Cai and Galloway 1999;Wang 2001;2001;Wan and Xin 2004] on the topology of conformally compact manifolds. Recently, by assuming t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
