Generalized Donaldson's functionals and related nonlinear partial differential equations [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a family of generalized Donaldson's functional on holomorphic vector bundles, whose Euler-Lagrange equations are a vector bundle version of the complex $k$-Hessian equations. We also discuss the uniqueness of solutions to these equations.

Theta functions and adiabatic curvature on an Abelian variety [PDF]
For an ample line bundle $L$ on an Abelian variety $M$, we study the theta functions associated with the family of line bundles $L\otimes T$ on $M$ indexed by $T\in \text{Pic}^{0}(M)$. Combined with an appropriate differential geometric setting, this leads to an explicit curvature computation of the direct image bundle $E$ on $\text{Pic}^{0}(M)$, whose

To characterize novel genes functioning specifically in mesophyll cells (MCs) or bundle sheath cells (BSCs) of C4 plants, differential screening of a maize cDNA library was conducted using 32P-labeled single-strand cDNAs prepared from MCs and bundle ...

Cohomology of flat bundles and a Chern-Simons functional [PDF]
We show that a flat principal bundle with compact connected structure group and its adjoint bundles of Lie groups have the same cohomology as the trivial bundle, which is done by proving they satisfy the condition for the Leray-Hirsch theorem. This information has been used to construct a cohomology class of the adjoint bundle of a flat bundle whose ...

An Approach to Differential Invariants of $G$-Structures [PDF]
In a natural way, the local diffeomorphisms of a manifold onto itself act on the reference frame bundles of any order and on the bundles associated with them. Due to the transitivity, the invariants by diffeomorphisms of an associated bundle correspond to the real functions on the orbit space of the action of the jet group on the typical fiber, which ...

Variational Aspects of the Seiberg-Witten Functional [PDF]
The Seiberg-Witten equations that have recently found important applications for four-dimensional geometry are the Euler-Lagrange equations for a functional involving a connection $A$ on a line bundle $L$ and a section $\phi$ of another bundle $W^+$ constructed from $L$ and a spinor bundle on a given four-dimensional Riemannian manifold.

Frame-independent formulation of Newtonian mechanics [PDF]
A frame independent formulation of analytical mechanics in the Newtonian space-time is presented. The differential geometry of affine values i.e., the differential geometry in which affine bundles replace vector bundles and sections of one dimensional affine bundles replace functions on manifolds, is used. Lagrangian and hamiltonian generating objects,
