An orbifold version of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality is used to prove that certain weighted projective spaces do not admit orbifold Einstein metrics. Also, several estimates for the orbifold Yamabe invariants of weighted projective spaces are proved.read more

Residue formula for Morita–Futaki–Bott invariant on orbifolds
Maurício Corrêa,Miguel Rodríguez +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a residue formula for the Morita-Futaki-Bott invariant with respect to any holomorphic vector field, with isolated (possibly degenerated) singularities in terms of Grothendieck's residues is presented.

Sobolev spaces and $\nabla$-differential operators on manifolds I: basic properties and weighted spaces.
Mirela Kohr,Victor Nistor +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the properties of a bilinear version of differential operators with coefficients in general Hermitian vector bundles on Riemannian manifolds, stressing a coordinate free approach that uses connections (which are typically denoted as "nabla$).

The Weyl functional on 4-manifolds of positive Yamabe invariant
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that on every closed oriented Riemannian 4-manifold (M, g) with positive scalar curvature, we can obtain topological obstructions to the existence of self-dual Weyl tensors of g, the Euler characteristic and the signature of M. This generalizes Gursky's inequality in a much simpler way.

Spectral asymmetry and Riemannian geometry. III
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a generalization of Hirzebruch's signature theorem for the case of manifolds with boundary, which can be viewed as analogous to the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for manifold with boundary.

Conformal deformation of a Riemannian metric to constant scalar curvature
TL;DR: In this paper, a new global idea was introduced to solve the Yamabe problem in dimensions 3, 4, and 5, and the existence of a positive solution u on M of the equation was proved in all remaining cases.

Spectral Asymmetry and Riemannian Geometry
TL;DR: In this article, a refinement of this invariant when A is no longer positive was introduced and its geometrical significance for an important class of operators arising from Riemannian geometry was studied.

Self-dual solutions to euclidean gravity
Tohru Eguchi,Andrew J. Hanson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of Euclidean self-dual metric solutions to the Einstein equations is presented, and the authors show that these solutions have vanishing classical action and nontrivial topological invariants, and may play a role in quantum gravity resembling that of the Yang-Mills instantons.
