Finally, as an application, we will show that the spectrum of the Laplacian on one-forms has no gaps on manifolds with a pole and on manifolds that are in a warped product form. This will be done under weaker curvature restrictions than what have been used previously; it will be achieved by finding the L1 spectrum of the Laplacian.

The authors consider the Hodge Laplacian \Delta on the Heisenberg group H_n, endowed with a left-invariant and U(n)-invariant Riemannian metric. For 0\le k\le 2n+1, let \Delta_k denote the Hodge Laplacian restricted to k-forms. In this paper they address three main, related questions: (1) whether the L^2 and L^p-Hodge decompositions, 1

This is an introduction to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with some important applications to mathematical statistical physics. Royer begins by gathering and reviewing the necessary background material on selfadjoint operators, semigroups, Kolmogorov diffusion processes, and solutions of stochastic differential equations.
